BELLEVILLE - The third annual Wounded Warriors Wiffle Wars will offer a slow-pitch wiffle ball tournament, raffles, food and more fun to support the troops.

Organizer Hayden Schaefer explained that the wiffle ball tournament is “just a good hangout” for all who attend. The event honors SSgt. Tanner Hackstadt and Sr. Airmen Marcus Smiley while raising money for a great cause. “Basically, it’s a wiffle ball tournament, but it’s really just a day of fellowship for everyone, to get the community to come out and recognize the two young men of close families in our group that unfortunately passed away,” Schaefer said. “I know O’Fallon and the Metro East area are big about community, which I love about that area.

SPRINGFIELD - In advance of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on Sunday, Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias is partnering with the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) to highlight the tragic link between social isolation and financial abuse among Illinois’ senior population. Social isolation, whether voluntary or involuntary, can cause an increased risk of financial exploitation for seniors. Scammers frequently target older populations during vulnerable times like health crises or after the death of a loved one, using phony texts, emails or social media posts to convince them to release personal financial information. “Protecting our seniors is crucial in creating a safe environment for all Illinoisans,” said Giannoulias. “Spreading knowledge to older loved ones about financial literacy and the dangers of online scams will help keep them safe.” Giannoulias warned Illinoisans never to click on links from unknown
