EDWARDSVILLE — Madison County State’s Attorney Tom Haine announced Thursday, Dec. 12, 2024, that a former Pontoon Beach man convicted of first-degree murder in the cold-case killing of a woman who disappeared in 2013 has been sentenced to 35 years in prison. Roger Dale Sutton, 57, received the sentence Thursday in Circuit Court in Madison County. Sutton would be 92 before he’s eligible for release from prison. A jury in October found Sutton guilty of first-degree murder and concealment of a homicidal death. The jury found that he fatally beat and strangled Patrenia “Trina” Butler-Turner, who was 40 and had been a resident of East St. Louis. She was reported missing by her family in January 2013, after she failed to return from a trip to the store. The murder came to light in December 2022, when a nephew of Sutton entered the Pontoon Beach Police Department and made a report. He told police he had witnessed his uncle kill a woman nearly 10 years earlier,

ALTON - This Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024, a dynamic duo of best friends and lifestyle/business coaches are hosting the perfect event for near-last-minute gift shoppers. Jama Fabry and Nikki Fiedler of the Bluff City Betties are welcoming the public to their “11th Hour Holiday Market” from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Milton Schoolhouse. In the Crystal Ballroom, attendees will find more than a dozen local vendors offering everything from gifts and gift wrapping to holiday apparel and more. Admission to the event is free.

Both “Betties” describe the event as “buying for your community, from your community.” “I don’t know Jeff Bezos … but I know Tammy with TLJ Rocks so personally,” Fiedler said. “Having these personal relationships wit
Key takeaways: When working through a difficult conversation, choose a goal and find the right time. Use “I messages” rather than putting the blame on others. Be an active listener. Don't get distracted by devices. “I deserve a raise!” “Son, your grades are slipping.” “Honey, we’re not spending enough time together.” Difficult conversations come up more often than you’d think. Luckily, there are time-tested ways to navigate them, says Sara Bennett, a psychotherapist at OSF HealthCare. Choose a goal. Figure out what you want out of the talk, whether that’s the raise you’re after at work or just a better understanding with someone close to you. Also plan how you may react to responses. “Hopefully that goal is to not be right. Hopefully it’s to come to some kind of resolution or share some information. Maybe you’re seeking advice,” Bennett says. In other words, yo
