RIVERBEND - Local police officers recently traveled to Washington, D.C., for National Police Week. The organization Mustache March 4 PD funded the weeklong trip in May for 11 officers and their spouses. While in D.C., travelers toured the city, visited the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, participated in a candlelight vigil, and connected with other officers from across the country. “It gives me some perspective to really appreciate my job and what I do,” said Sgt. Danny Green with the Jerseyville Police Department. “I really enjoyed getting back and being able to talk to my other officers about it and tell them what I took away from it. Hopefully they see that I have a little bit of pep in my step and they can see what a benefit it was. I still can’t believe it. I’ll be at work and just think back on that trip and just still, I can't believe I got to do that and was able to be supported in such a great way.” Mustache March 4

ALTON - Gumbo 2 Geaux has grown exponentially over the past three years, and co-owner Troy Green couldn’t be more excited about the restaurant’s future. Green explained that he and his wife, Kyndra, moved to Alton from Louisiana in 2016. They opened Gumbo 2 Geaux as a way to pay homage to their Cajun roots.

What if one simple, colorful drink could deliver a potent mix of vitamins, antioxidants, hydration, and energy all at once? Summer smoothies often get dismissed as just a tasty treat, but they hold remarkable potential as a health-boosting powerhouse. By exploring the nutritional benefits packed into these blended beverages, we can appreciate how summer smoothies transcend the realm of mere refreshment to become a strategic component of a balanced diet. Nutrient Density in a Glass: The Foundation of Summer Smoothies Summer smoothies often combine fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and dairy or plant-based milks, resulting in a nutrient-rich concoction. Fruits like berries, mangoes, and peaches are naturally high in vitamins C and A, fiber, and antioxidants such as flavonoids and polyphenols. Vegetables like spinach or kale add iron, calcium, and vitamin K, which are crucial for blood health and bone strength. For example, a smoothie containing blueberries, banana, spinach, and Greek

June 18 stands out in history as a day marked by pivotal moments that have shaped nations, inspired movements, and advanced human knowledge. Arguably the most impactful event associated with June 18 is the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. This battle, fought near Waterloo in present-day Belgium, was a decisive confrontation that ended the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, one of history’s most influential military and political figures. After escaping exile on Elba, Napoleon sought to reassert his dominance over Europe, but the allied forces of Britain, Prussia, the Netherlands, and other European powers united to halt his advance. The battle not only reshaped the political landscape of Europe but also set the stage for nearly a century of relative peace and the rise of British global influence. Waterloo’s legacy continues to resonate, symbolizing the triumph of coalition forces against a formidable adversary and marking the end of an era in European history. Stepping back in time,
