GRANITE CITY – In the wake of the devastating EF-3 tornado that struck the region on May 16, Phillips 66 has donated $50,000 to Granite City Community Unit School District #9 to support recovery efforts and repair storm damage to school facilities. The tornado carved a 22.7-mile path of destruction through central and northern St. Louis before crossing into Illinois. The storm, which remained on the ground for 24 minutes and nearly a mile, caused widespread damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure—tragically claiming five lives in the St. Louis region. Granite City was among the hardest-hit areas in the Metro East. At Prather Elementary School, the gymnasium roof was torn off just days before the end of the school year. Granite City is located near multiple Phillips 66 assets, including the Wood River Refinery, the Hartford Lubricants Plant, and the Hartford and East St. Louis Midstream Terminals. It is also home to many Phillips 66 employees. The donation

Did you know that the human body can lose up to 1.5 quarts of sweat per hour during extreme heat? This staggering fact highlights just how much our bodies work to maintain a safe internal temperature when the mercury rises. Yet, staying cool isn’t just about battling sweat; it’s about employing smart, creative strategies that protect your well-being and keep discomfort at bay without relying solely on air conditioning. Here are some inventive approaches to help you stay refreshingly cool during a heatwave. Harnessing the Power of Water Beyond the Shower Water is the most straightforward way to cool down, but its potential extends far beyond a quick rinse.

June 13 has long been a date marked by significant events that have rippled through the fabric of history. One of the most consequential moments in global history on this day occurred in 323 BC, when the death of Alexander the Great was reported. Though the exact date of his death is sometimes debated, some sources place it around mid-June. Alexander's passing marked the beginning of the Hellenistic era, a period that spread Greek culture across three continents and shaped civilizations for centuries to come. His empire, stretching from Greece to Egypt and into northwest India, was one of the largest in ancient history, and his military strategies are still studied today. In the realm of science and exploration, June 13, 1633, stands out when the famous astronomer Galileo Galilei was forced by the Roman Catholic Inquisition to recant his support for the heliocentric theory—that the Earth revolves around the Sun. This trial underscored the tension between scientific inquiry an
