ALTON - Alton High sophomore Sophie Helfrich's love of running shows on her face as she completes what some would consider an arduous 3-mile course. Sophie posted a time of 20:57 for three miles at the Granite City Robinson/Lang Cross Country Invitational and was very proud of her effort and the performances of her teammates that day. Sophie is an Auto Butler Female Athlete of the Month for the Redbirds. "I felt good," she said after her Granite City win. "There was a lot of good competition here and I think it helped me go faster. "I do love running. I do it every day. I didn't do track last year, I played soccer instead, but I love both sports. I am very proud of my coaches and team." Last year, Sophie recorded a time of 21:10.73 in the Normal Sectional. She has already exceeded that time this season and her hope is to record an even better time this year in the postseason. Congrats to Sophie on her performances and her honor as an Auto Butler Female Athlete of the Month for

ALTON - There are a few things you should know about Bob Ryan. First, he is an Alton native and trusted lawyer with an office in the Riverbender building. Second, a piece of the Berlin Wall sits on his desk as a nod to his time in Germany during World War II. Third, he will turn 100 on Saturday, Sept. 23, and, in a move both exciting and uncharacteristic, he might leave work a little early today as a treat. “I’m lucky to be alive,” Ryan said, a sentiment that rings as true today as when he first thought it several years ago at the end of the war. For someone who was so young when World War II began, he lived a lifetime before it ended. Ryan graduated from Marquette Catholic High School and joined the U.S. Army Air Corps a year after Pearl Harbor was bombed. He is candid about his experiences during World War II, including the year he spent in a Nazi prison camp as a prisoner of war. In May 1944, Ryan’s B17 4-Engine Bomber was hit head-on by an enemy
