It's a great place to admire some artwork and to relax while you're doing it. Another nice thing is that they don't screw ...continue reading "Lunchtime Photo"

Alton Memorial OB Unit Earns Safe Sleep Designation
ALTON – Alton Memorial Hospital was recently recognized by the National Safe Sleep Hospital Certification Program as “Gold Level” for its commitment to best practices and education on infant safe sleep. “The Cribs for Kids Hospital Certification Program is a way to show our commitment to safe sleep and SUID reduction,” said Renee Strowmatt, clinical educator for the Women’s Health and Childbirth Center. “Gold level is currently the highest level of certification.

Senior Catcher Hank Bouillon Is Altonized Community Federal Credit Union Southwestern Male Athlete Of The Month
PIASA - The Southwestern Piasa Birds senior summer league team may have lost to the visiting Gillespie Elite, but senior catcher Hank Bouillon still got some work done. He went 3-3 with an RBI in the 11-7 setback at Schneider Park against Gillespie. "Not bad, but I mean we still didn't win. That's the main thing," Hank said about his performance. With the loss, the Piasa Birds are off to a 5-2 start in their summer league. In the spring high school season, the Piasa Birds split the regular-season conference championship with Gillespie, so the two are setting the groundwork for a potential rivalry of some sort. Bouillon had an excellent spring season for the Birds. Bouillon is an Altonized Community Federal Credit Union Male Athlete of the Month for the Piasa Birds. "That's our motivation for next year," Hank said about splitting the South Central Conference with the Miners. Head coach Brain Hanslow mentioned that his team has some big shoes to fill with the departure of his senior
