Healthcare Decisions Belong Inside Your Financial Plan

1 month 3 weeks ago
Too often, Medicare enrollment and long-term care (LTC) coverage are treated like one-off insurance purchases. In reality, these choices carry long-term financial consequences and should be driven via a thoughtfully constructed retirement income plan in advance of purchase decisions. The retirement income plan provides clarity, leading to better confidence in your decision process. At Genesis Wealth Management Group , Bill Kinkel coordinates healthcare and financial planning with your income strategy, tax planning, and retirement goals so your plan protects both your health and your wealth. Common pitfalls to avoid: Assuming Medicare covers everything. It does not pay for most long-term care or custodial care needs. Delaying LTC planning. Waiting can lead to higher premiums, limited options, or ineligibility due to health changes. Treating healthcare as a line item instead of a strategy. Uncoordinated withdrawals can raise your Medicare premiums and increase taxes.

Jersey County Plans Removal Of Six Diseased Courthouse Trees

1 month 3 weeks ago
JERSEY COUNTY — The Jersey County Sheriff’s Office announced plans to remove six mature trees from the courthouse lawn due to disease and age, officials said. Jersey Sheriff Nick Manns said earlier this year, the office observed that several trees on the courthouse grounds were dying. After consulting with a resource conservationist and a state forester from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, they determined the trees were affected by a combination of disease and natural aging. “Based on their advice, we made the very difficult decision to remove six trees from the lawn to ensure the safety of our citizens and to prevent the death of additional trees,” Manns said in a public service announcement. The sheriff’s office emphasized that the removal is a safety measure and that plans are already underway to plant new trees once the best species are selected to suit the location. The removal process is currently underway, with replanting t

Edwardsville Police Remind Drivers: Be Safe and Smart While Celebrating Halloween

1 month 3 weeks ago
EDWARDSVILLE – As Halloween approaches, the Edwardsville Police Department is urging everyone to drive sober, buckle up, be alert for pedestrians and follow traffic laws. With children and families out after dark for trick-or-treating and community events, officers will be stepping up enforcement to keep the streets safe. “Driving under the influence — whether from alcohol, cannabis, or any impairing drug — is dangerous and illegal,” said Lt. Matt Senci. “We encourage everyone to plan ahead. If you’ll be celebrating, line up a sober ride, use public transportation, or call a friend.” The “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Drive High. Get a DUI” campaigns, along with increased traffic enforcement, are funded by federal highway safety grants administered by IDOT. These efforts are supported by the Illinois State Police and local law enforcement agencies across the state. The campaigns are reinforced by IDOT’s

Marquette Catholic To Present 'Alice In Wonderland'

1 month 3 weeks ago
ALTON – Marquette Catholic High School will present Alice in Wonderland on November 7th and 8th, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. on the Ruth Klaus Stage located at 219 E. 4th Street. Alice in Wonderland is based on the stories of Lewis Carroll and adapted by Jason Pizzarello. It is produced by special arrangement with Stage Partners (www.yourstagepartners.com). After Alice falls down the rabbit hole, mad tea parties, sarcastic caterpillars, depressed turtles and a very irrational queen take stage in a dream-like landscape. According to Ms. Madison Foreman, MCHS Theater and Music Director, twenty-five students are involved in the production as actors and crew. She said, “Working on Jason Pizzarello’s Alice in Wonderland has been a wonderful reminder of how imaginative the students are. They have taken this classic story and made the characters their own. Each character is full of color, curiosity, and of course madness. The students' passion and love for the performing arts have
