MARYVILLE – Recovery and Postpartum Nurse, Ashli Duncan, RN, of Anderson Hospital’s Pavilion for Women was recently honored with The DAISY Award® For Extraordinary Nurses. The award is part of the DAISY Foundation's programs to recognize the super-human efforts nurses perform every day. The nomination submitted read: “I had just given birth the evening before. Baby girl was Coombs positive and woke up extremely jaundiced and frighteningly lethargic. I couldn't get her to wake up to breastfeed like she had the night before. This was an incredibly stressful time as we were told the only way to flush the bilirubin was to feed baby. So I spent the long, agonizing day trying, unsuccessfully, to get baby to feed. For hours and hours I worked with the lactation consultant, blew on baby's face, and rubbed cold wipes on her naked body trying to wake her for long enough that I could shove my breast into her mouth. My milk wasn't in and baby was so lethargic even if we

ALTON - On Sunday, August 3, 1924, the Jewish Community Home of Wood River and Alton held a fundraising picnic at Rock Spring Park. Many people from the area came out to support the cause. There were “a large number from out of the city at the picnic, and a good attendance from Alton, not only of people of the Jewish faith but others.” Various booths, a band concert, and dancing marked the occasion. The Jewish Community Home and Synagogue trace their origins to New Year’s Eve of 1923. On that evening, the Alton and Wood River Jewish League threw their first ball to raise funds for a new facility. Four hundred fifty people attended the function and were entertained by an eight-piece orchestra. At about this time, the Methodist churches on Wesley Street in Upper Alton and on Washington Avenue in Alton were merging. The churches put both of their buildings up for sale to finance a consolidated Methodist church on Main Street. The Alton and Wood River Jewish League
