EDWARDSVILLE - Southern Illinois University Edwardsville’s Office for Accessible Campus Community & Equitable Student Support (ACCESS) hailed the late disability rights activist Ed Roberts as a hero and pioneering leader. ACCESS also praised SIUE faculty, staff and students for their part in moving access rights forward during its 6th Annual Ed Roberts Champions of Accessibility Celebration and Awards on Monday, March 17, 2025. Roberts contracted polio that paralyzed him from the neck down and required him to use an iron lung or respirator to breathe, but it did not keep him from being the first wheelchair user to attend the University of California, Berkeley. The awards ceremony was the highlight of the program. “One of the ways that we recognize people on this campus who embody the spirit of Ed Roberts is through our Defender of Equity Awards,” said ACCESS Director Dominic Dorsey. “Many times, we talk about the disability rights movement as a social justice

ALTON - Mayoral candidate and Third Ward Alderman Ray Strebel responded to a recently circulated recording involving property owner Zachariah Yinger, calling it a "political hit job" meant to distract voters from the real issue: who is actually taking action to clean up Alton. "This recording changes nothing," Strebel said. "It's a political stunt pushed by opponents who've been silent while I've done the hard work of cleaning up Alton." Strebel reiterated that he was contacted by Yinger and spoke with him as part of his effort to get troubled properties into better hands. "I'll take any call if it helps get bad actors out of Alton," Strebel said. "And I encourage anyone to actually listen to the recording — they'll hear someone focused on helping this city, not playing politics." Strebel was the first public official to call for the revocation of Yinger's business licenses and demand that Alton send a clear message that criminal behavior won't be tolerated. "My position has

CENTRALIA — Kayla Pearson has organized a fundraiser to support McGuire's, a bar-grill located at 730 James Street in Centralia, which was recently devastated by a fire. The fundraiser aims to assist the establishment as it embarks on the challenging journey of rebuilding after the significant loss. The fire left the interior of McGuire's in ruins, marking a tragic turn for a venue that has been a cherished part of the community for generations. Originally opened as Gheradini’s and later known as Jono’s, McGuire's has operated under its current name for the past 12 years, managed by the Thompson family and Erika Ryan. The establishment has long served as a gathering place where patrons have formed connections, celebrating life's milestones and creating lasting memories. The impact of the fire extends beyond the physical damage; McGuire's did not have loss of income insurance, leaving both the business and its dedicated staff without financial support. As a result,

ST. LOUIS (March 25, 2025) — An energetic pair of polar bear twins will be on view to the public at the Saint Louis Zoo for the first time today (March 25.) Two-year-old twins, Kallu (Kah-LOO) and Kallik (Kah-LEEK) , will now have regular access to the Zoo’s 40,000-squre-foot polar bear habitat, McDonnell Polar Bear Point. Guests can stop by for a chance to see the playful duo during regular Zoo hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily this spring. The twins were born at Toledo Zoo & Aquarium in November 2022 and arrived at the Saint Louis Zoo earlier this month. The Zoo’s previous resident polar bear, Kali, moved simultaneously to Toledo Zoo where he will be paired with a female based on a breeding recommendation. The twin brothers are known for their close bond. They love to play and spar together during the day and often sleep side-by-side at night. In Toledo, the twins enjoyed diving into their habitat pool, training with special treats like canned tuna and seaweed
