JERSEYVILLE - Junior starting guard Jaxon Brunaugh recently joined his head coach Matt Murphy in a prestigious Jersey Community High School club of 1,000-point career scorers. Jaxon and his head coach couldn't be more proud of the accomplishment. Murphy scored 1,488 points in his career at Jersey and is the school's all-time leading scorer. Brunaugh also has had a phenomenal career in his Panthers uniform. He is a Sparklight Internet Male Athlete of the Month for the Panthers. Brunaugh topped the 1,000-point mark in a recent 48-44 win over rival Southwestern. He had 23 points on that night against the Piasa Birds. "Basketball is a team sport and getting the win the night he broke 1,000 points was important, but those personal accolades are nice as well," Coach Murphy said. "Especially for someone who is such a great kid as Jaxon. He works hard and puts in a ton of work. I couldn't be happier for him and he deserves the recognition." Coach Murphy said in his first year of coaching i

We’ve expressed our displeasure with geofence warrants multiple times. I’ve often referred to them as “reverse” warrants, a term that implies how these warrants invert probable cause. Those in the business of protecting rights (ACLU, EFF) aren’t fans of that term, but it is useful shorthand. Rather than show a court probable cause exists to […]

EDWARDSVILLE – Mayor Art Risavy announced on Tuesday, January 16, that he has directed City staff to suspend a citation issued to First Baptist Church, 534 St. Louis Street, as part of a zoning matter related to an overnight warming location for the unhoused. As part of the action, an upcoming municipal court appearance also is being canceled. “It was never our intent to prevent it from operating, particularly at a time of such dangerous weather conditions. The city’s concern was only that the facility was safe for the people staying there and volunteering there,” Mayor Risavy said. “Our hope now is to continue a conversation with First Baptist Church so we can be part of the solution for those who are unhoused or in dire circumstances.” The City had been asking First Baptist Church to apply for a special use permit that City officials said would be necessary for the operation of the overnight warming center at 534 St. Louis Street, which is within
A total of $17 million will go toward building capacity outside of Chicago, Illinois Welcoming Centers, and the Immigrant Family Resource Program Governor JB Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) announced $17 million in additional funding for municipalities to support asylum seekers.

These funds will be utilized to build capacity in municipalities outside of Chicago that are welcoming asylum seekers. The State is continuing to support the City of Chicago with direct funding as well as funding to support the overall asylum seeker response and is launching this latest round of funding to advance our shared goal of increasing capacity outside of the City. The funds will come from the previously announced $160 million in additional State investment to support the asylum seeker response. Funds will make it possible for municipalities to provide direct services to
