EDWARDSVILLE – The public is invited to take part in a festive “grand relighting” ceremony in early December to celebrate the soon-to-be-finished renovation of the Wildey Theatre marquee. City officials and supporters will flip the switch at 6 p.m. Tuesday, December 3, to reveal the newly restored neon glow and other improvements to the historic downtown theater’s marquee. The event will be jointly hosted by Mayor Art Risavy and elected officials and the Friends of the Wildey organization, which raises funds for the 115-year-old theater, concert hall and event center at 252 N. Main Street. The Friends provided just over $67,000 to pay for the bulk of the marquee work. Joe Hutton of Miller & Maack General Contractors donated design and coordination services. “Whether you’ve been coming to the Wildey for decades or haven’t yet experienced this downtown treasure, we hope you’ll join us for this fun occasion,” Mayor Risavy said. “We

ALTON - On a recent episode of “You’re Beautiful” with Brian Trust, Linsey Timmins spoke about how her faith has helped her through grief after losing her husband, Tyler Timmins. Tyler Timmins was a Pontoon Beach police officer who was killed in the line of duty in 2021. Linsey explained that she questioned God following her husband’s passing, but her faith has ultimately helped her handle her grief. “Tyler made me strong,” she said. “I was definitely a girl when I met him, and he helped create me into a woman and helped grow me into the woman that I am today. I’m definitely a lot softer today than I was when he married me. He married a fiery version of me, and she’s slowly coming back. But I think that whenever you go through a significant loss, especially whenever you lose your person, you lose a part of yourself, too. Grief is a weird journey.” Timmins said that Tyler fit perfectly into her life. He felt like
