GLEN CARBON - The Glen Carbon Police Department has launched a new K9 patrol program with the addition of A’to, a 2-year-old German Shepherd trained in narcotics detection and tracking. This initiative, made possible by a $15,000 donation from Dr. Mark Eavenson of Multicare Specialists, aims to enhance crime prevention, offender apprehension, and officer and community safety. Officer Louis Mitchelar, A’to’s handler, is currently undergoing training with the dog at the K9 academy and is expected to return to full patrol duty with A’to in May 2017. The program will also include community engagement activities such as demonstrations, security at special events, and assistance to neighboring police departments requiring a trained patrol K9. The Glen Carbon Police Department expressed gratitude to Dr. Eavenson for his support, noting that his contribution allows the department to establish and operate the K9 program independently without using the Village’s

Did you know that only about 10% of the global population is left-handed? Despite being a minority, left-handers have made remarkable contributions to art, science, and culture throughout history. Yet, many everyday tools and gadgets are designed with right-handed users in mind, often overlooking the unique challenges and preferences of lefties. National Left-Handers Day, observed annually on August 13th, offers a special opportunity to recognize and celebrate the distinctiveness of left-handed individuals. One engaging way to honor this day is through creative DIY crafts that highlight left-handedness, promote inclusivity, and encourage hands-on appreciation of this unique trait. Understanding Left-Handedness: More Than Just Which Hand You Use Left-handedness is not merely a preference but a neurological trait linked to brain lateralization.

August 13th stands as a day marked by a tapestry of pivotal events that have shaped the course of human history across the globe. One of the most globally significant events occurred on August 13, 1961, when East Germany began constructing the Berlin Wall. Erected overnight, this formidable barrier physically and ideologically divided East and West Berlin, symbolizing the tensions of the Cold War era. The Wall not only separated families and friends but also became a stark representation of the struggle between communist and capitalist ideologies. Its impact resonated worldwide, influencing diplomatic policies and shaping the lives of millions until its fall in 1989. Going further back, August 13, 1521, marked the fall of Tenochtitlán, the capital of the Aztec Empire, to Spanish conquistadors led by Hernán Cortés. This event signaled a dramatic shift in the Americas, leading to Spanish colonization and profound changes in indigenous cultures, demographics, and
