SAINT LOUIS - The St. Louis Ovarian Cancer Awareness (SLOCA) organization wants people to know the symptoms of ovarian cancer — and the resources that can help them. The State of Missouri recently recognized September as National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Susan Robben, director of SLOCA, hopes the organization’s programs and upcoming events can advocate for survivors and research. “We’re here year-round, supporting survivors, raising awareness, and funding research, as best as we can,” Robben said. Robben shared that she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at age 23 after experiencing symptoms like bloating, pelvic and abdominal pain, frequent urination, quickly feeling full when eating, and others. Her symptoms were initially dismissed by her healthcare provider, and it wasn’t until she underwent surgery that the cancer was detected. With this in mind, Robben encourages people with ovaries to advocate for themselves, especially i

CHICAGO — In the shadow of midterm gerrymandering wars for U.S. Congressional seats, Illinois voters may soon face a new ballot measure aimed at curbing partisan map-drawing for legislative districts within Illinois set to take effect after the 2030 census. Partisan gerrymandering reduces political debate and competition in our elections. It also serves to predetermine the outcome of our elections, robbing voters of a truly representative government. That is why the League of Women Voters of Illinois is endorsing the latest effort by Fair Maps to amend the state constitution and move our state a step closer to having legislative districts that reflect our voting population. The League acknowledges that the proposed amendment falls short of our larger objectives, including map-drawing that is fully independent of the Illinois state legislature, a process that is subject to open meetings, transparency, and input from our communities, and a commission that is structured to drive

GRANITE CITY — U.S. Steel announced Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2025, it will cease processing steel slabs at its Granite City Works plant in Illinois by November 2025, shifting operations to other facilities following the recent $15 billion acquisition by Japanese company Nippon Steel. The decision comes three months after Nippon Steel finalized its purchase of the iconic American steelmaker. U.S. Steel said it will focus on processing raw steel at its Mon Valley Works in Pennsylvania and Gary Works in Indiana. Despite ending slab processing at Granite City, the company stated it will not lay off any of the roughly 800 workers at the plant or reduce their pay. Employees will maintain the facility to keep it operational in case circumstances change. Granite City Mayor Michael C. Parkinson has expressed frustration over the lack of clear investment plans for the plant, which reopened in 2018 after President Donald Trump’s visit. The plant had ceased raw steel production in 2023 afte
