The park has been treated with pesticide every two weeks from April through October of this year, but recent heavy rains have created conditions that allow mosquitoes to breed. In a statement regarding the situation, local officials acknowledged the ongoing issue, saying, "We are very aware of the mosquito issue in the park." They emphasized their commitment to managing the problem by eliminating standing water on the property and maintaining regular spraying schedules. However, they noted that recent rains have complicated their efforts. "Unfortunately, the last significant rains created a breeding ground for mosquitos and they emerge after the incubation period," officials stated.

ALTON - The American Red Cross continues to work to restock critically needed blood products uncollected due to the ongoing impact of Hurricane Helene’s devastation in the Southeast. Donors outside of affected areas are encouraged to make an appointment to give now and help keep the blood supply stable in the weeks to come. Since making landfall, the storm and its aftermath have led to the cancellation of more than 100 blood drives, causing thousands of blood and platelet donations to go uncollected. For so many people living with urgent medical care needs, blood transfusions are essential, and donations in the Southeast are key to keeping our nationwide network stocked. The Red Cross operates through a national inventory with the ability to move blood wherever and whenever it is needed most. As a thank-you, all who come to give Oct. 1-31 will receive a $10 Amazon.com Gift Card by email, plus be automatically entered for a chance to win one of three $5,000 gift cards. For full
