CARLINVILLE - Community members are invited to a candlelight vigil in honor of Charlie Kirk. On Saturday, Sept. 27, 2025, the Macoupin County Courthouse will serve as the meeting spot for a prayer vigil. The prayer starts at 7 p.m., but organizer Rawley Eldridge encourages people to come as early as 5:30 p.m. for conversations. “What I would like it to look like, and what it should look like, is just everybody gathering together and showing remorse for the family that lost their father and their husband,” Eldridge said. “We can all pray together, share stories on why we believe he made an impact and how he reached us in different ways.” Bibles, candles and rosaries will be available while supplies last. Eldridge also hopes to order t-shirts; you can message him through the official Facebook event page for more information or to place your order. He shared that Kirk’s work had “a pretty big impact” on his own life. He resonated

EDWARDSVILLE — The Agency for Community Transit (ACT) honored Jamall Arnold, a recent Edwardsville High School graduate, during its board meeting Thursday, Sept. 11, 2025, recognizing his successful completion of a one-year apprenticeship program.
