GODFREY – The Village of Godfrey may soon have new rules on the books concerning food trucks. An ordinance outlining rules and regulations for food trucks received a first reading at Tuesday night’s Village Board meeting. The item will be given a second and final reading before coming up for a vote at the board’s next meeting on Tuesday, June 17, 2025. Godfrey seeks to clarify its legal language concerning food trucks, as the rules are currently too vague to properly regulate these businesses and meet the village’s health and safety needs, according to the ordinance. If passed, operators of “portable vending establishments,” including food trucks, push carts, and kiosks, would be required to pay a fee to obtain a license to operate from the village. The exact amount of these fees will be established in a future resolution. The ordinance also regulates where food trucks can be located - if passed, they would only be allowed in B-1, B-2, B-4 o

ALTON - Alton’s Knights of Columbus has an impressive history, and their work continues to be just as important as when they were founded 125 years ago. Richard R. Ruedin recently stopped by “Our Daily Show!” with C.J. Nasello to talk about the Knights of Columbus organization and their work throughout the Alton area. The K/Cs frequently volunteer in the community to give back. “We’re active and supporting things,” Ruedin said. “We are invisible in many ways, but we’re working behind the scenes for the City of Alton and the community.” The Alton K/Cs support St. Mary’s Catholic Church and St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church. This “dual church council” is “unusual,” Ruedin said, but the members are eager to help both churches by volunteering their time and organizing events. For example, the K/Cs recently raised over $20,000 to assist St. Peter and Paul Church with renovations. They also
