GODFREY - Amid reports of heart attacks at local pickleball courts, the Godfrey Village Board on Tuesday weighed the possibility of installing an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) device near the village’s own pickleball courts at Glazebrook Park. Trustee Craig Lombardi noted there have been a few heart attacks reported at pickleball courts around the Riverbend, including in Wood River, East Alton, and Godfrey.

SMITHTON - A former resident of Bria of Smithton, a skilled care nursing facility in Smithton, has been awarded $3.5 million after an improperly treated infection led to the partial amputation of her right leg. The St. Clair County court ruled in favor of the 64-year-old woman on August 27, 2024. She was represented by Gianaris Trial Lawyers in Alton. The resident developed an infection in her right great toe in 2022, which, according to the lawsuit filed by attorney Ted Gianaris, was not properly treated for many months. This led to sepsis, a bone infection, and gangrene. Eventually, the resident was sent to a hospital emergency room and underwent a below-the-knee amputation. Prior to losing her leg, she had suffered a stroke that affected her left side, resulting in her confinement to a wheelchair. “This poor lady had an infection for a long time before July of 2022, but the facility didn’t do the right thing. She had gangrene of her toe, and her family wasn’t
