GRAFTON - Pere Marquette State Park boasts several new programs in the new year, including a special night hike event planned for Feb. 3, 2024. Lev Smolianski, Pere Marquette’s new Natural Resource Coordinator , explained that the night hike will start at 8 p.m. and run for two hours as the group takes a 2.5-mile hike through the park. “It’s just different at that time of day. It’s the same but different. So I think it really brings people out of their comfort zones,” Smolianski said. “It’s not something that people go out and get to do. When you go hiking, you go from sunrise to sunset. I think that when you go into the woods at night, it’s a completely different ballgame. I think it’s going to be a really unique experience and I think people are going to really enjoy it.” He pointed out that attendees will be able to see different wildlife, including bobcats and raccoons, as well as city lights from St. Louis

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Pat McCroy, the national co-chair of No Labels and former governor of North Carolina, recently announced the organization has called for a Department of Justice investigation into threats made against members of No Labels. No Labels recently held a press conference to announce the investigation request, which McCroy explained in further detail on an episode of Our Daily Show! on Riverbender.com . “We had the press conference to announce that we’re asking the U.S. Justice Department to investigate groups, coordinated groups that are working we think allegedly in an illegal manner to stop No Labels - and frankly, other groups - from having a chance to give voters an opportunity to have another choice on the ballot,” McCroy said. “We think this is as important as taking away someone’s right to vote … what they’re trying to do is deny access to a ballot verbally and threatening not only people associated with No Labels,
