ALTON - Members of the Alton Police Department, including Chief Jarrett Ford, participated in the Southern Illinois Criminal Justice Summit, held recently in the region. This summit gathered law enforcement professionals to discuss critical topics affecting policing today, including cybersecurity, terrorism, media relations, mental health, and legislative updates.

EDWARDSVILLE - Ryan Suhre is known more for his golf game at Metro-East Lutheran High School, but the senior guard has also made a positive contribution to the boys basketball team this season, as a reserve off the bench for the Knights. Suhre didn't score a point in Metro-East's first two regional games in the IHSA Class 1A playoffs as the Knights won over Mt. Olive 56-18 and regional host Raymond Lincolnwood 57-34 to go 19-11 going into the final on Feb. 28 against Hardin Calhoun, but contributed good defense to the Knights' cause. This season, he's averaged 1.2 points and 0.8 rebounds-per-game, also having one assist. In a postgame interview, Suhre felt good about his contributions, and just for the fact he's still playing on the team.

The Knights have enjoyed a good season thus far, and have

Letter To The Editor: At the Special City Council Meeting of March 6th, the vote to increase the number of council members to request a Special Meeting from two to three was passed, as was expected, by a vote of 3-2. During our discussion, the City Attorney claimed that an Appellate Court case determined it required three council members to request a Special Meeting, and not two. I have asked the City Attorney to forward a copy of the court case and the authority she cited as proof that the state requires three, and not two, council members to hold a Special Meeting. I want to note, that two times in the past a prior City Attorney was proven to be wrong in her opinions, and the City had to take steps to correct actions that were taken by the council based upon her opinions. In addition, there was an attempt by Mr. Plank, who professes his commitment to transparency, to denigrate the need for Special Meetings. The Special Meeting of February 24th was called because the City Manager,
