BETHALTO - Coming off a 1-8 campaign in 2022, Civic Memorial football is already much improved in 2023. It’s a team with weapons all over the field, and one of those weapons early in the season has been sophomore wide receiver Parker Parnell. Parnell, a speedy wideout with the football IQ to find open space, has already made his presence felt in the Eagle offense in 2023. In CM’s giant 40-7 win over EAWR on September 1, Parnell showcased his skills on an extended touchdown play, taking a screen pass to the house for six. Parnell latched onto a quick pass from Eagle QB Jack Piening, made a man miss waiting for blockers, and shot up the CM sideline to extend his team’s lead. “After getting the ball, I’m able to see the field really well,” said Parnell, on his touchdown in the EAWR game. “Once the blocking started picking up, I saw more and more open space, and found some room for the touchdown.” For his performance so far this

GLEN CARBON - A project to convert a portion of Greenspace East in Glen Carbon into a prairie grass restoration area full of flowers and wildlife received unanimous approval from the Village Board of Trustees last night. The project is set to be completed by June 2024 at a total cost of $5,704. “We have developed a project plan to convert the current old field habitat to prairie that will be full of blooming flowers and wildlife,” Eric Wright with Heartlands Conservancy wrote in a letter to Village Administrator Jamie Bowden. “The prairie conversion will improve the Greenspace East for both people and wildlife while creating opportunities to reduce long-term maintenance costs.” Greenspace East is located between Route 159 and Old Troy Road in Glen Carbon. While the entire site is approximately 80 acres, the area slated for this prairie improvement project is only about 1.5 acres, Bowden said at the meeting on Tuesday. Wright said in his letter

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mike Bost (IL-12) announced today that he supports House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s decision to launch a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden’s involvement in his son, Hunter Biden’s, foreign business dealings. “Joe Biden lied to the American people about his family’s shady business dealings,” said Bost. “His family and their associates appear to have profited $20 million, in large part because of his personal participation in dozens of meetings with foreign actors. These allegations of corruption and abuse of power are devastating and warrant a full impeachment inquiry. “The Bidens need to understand America’s security is not for sale. The U.S. presidency and vice presidency are not investment opportunities for eager foreign bidders.
