FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS - Fairview Heights experienced a power outage affecting approximately 3,700 customers Tuesday afternoon, June 24, 2025, after a malfunction caused a power line to fall onto another line, utility officials said. The outage began around 2:32 p.m. when a series of power lines running through Fairview Heights encountered a problem. One of the lines at the highest point of a pole malfunctioned and fell into another line, resulting in the widespread loss of power primarily in Fairview Heights and surrounding areas, Brian Bretsch, a spokesperson for the utility company, said. Bretsch said crews responded quickly to the situation amid ongoing heat conditions. "We were able to reroute power to other sources in the area,” Bretsch said. “All but 110 customers have been restored as of 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday, and the remaining 110 are out until repairs are made.

ALTON - On a recent episode of “You’re Beautiful” with Brian Trust , Duane and Cathy Lievers shared their testimony after an accident left Duane with burns covering 80% of his body. Duane shared there was an explosion at his job, and he was “dead center” when it happened. He was rushed to the hospital, where he was given 72 hours to live. Three years later, Duane is recovered and well, and Cathy and Duane believe God is the reason why. “You can’t deny it anymore,” Duane said. “Once you have Him touch you in the way that He has touched me, you can’t deny it.” When the doctor told her that Duane would die in 72 hours, Cathy responded with a “God reality check.” When the doctor said he would be in the hospital for at least six months, Cathy prayed. For the two months, 14 days and 20 minutes that Duane spent in the hospital, Cathy was by his side. She even started a prayer circle for other families
