Governor Pritzker has proclaimed National Farm Safety and Health Week in Illinois the week of September 18-22, 2023. “Bringing awareness to the general risks associated with day-to-day operations on Illinois farms and our state’s leading industry is something I understand firsthand,” said Jerry Costello II, Illinois Department of Agriculture Director. “Illinois farmers face the enormous task of ensuring that Illinoisans and Americans alike have sustainable access to fresh and healthy foods.

Martin Has Goal and Assist Against Explorers - Is A Byron, Carlson, Petri, & Kalb Athlete of the Month for Father McGivney
GLEN CARBON - The Father McGivney boys soccer team has been improving after each game and is coming off arguably its most impressive win yet this season, a 5-1 win over Gateway Metro Conference rivals Marquette Catholic. In that game, junior Spencer Martin had a goal and an assist. He now leads the team with five goals on the season. Martin is a Byron, Carlson, Petri, & Kalb Athlete of the Month for the Griffins. McGivney improved to 6-7-1 on the season after Thursday's result and sits at 3-3 in the GMC. Martin noted the team's slow start to the season but thinks the Griffins are turning it around. "Our first five, six games were against really hard schools like Columbia, Triad. So, we start slow, but we'll pick it up by the end of the season," he said after a 7-0 win over Metro-East Lutheran back on Sept. 13. He scored twice in that game. Martin has had a bit of an interesting soccer path throughout high school. He commuted from Edwardsville to Chaminade High School in Creve
