GODFREY – Lewis and Clark Community College’s Project READ volunteer tutor, Sharon Eberlin, has earned a 2023 Spotlight on Service Award, presented by Illinois Secretary of State and State Librarian Alexi Giannoulias. Eberlin was among only 10 exemplary volunteer tutors statewide to receive this honor in a May 10 ceremony held at the Illinois State Library in Springfield. According to Project READ Coordinator Sheila Vaughn, Eberlin puts in two and three times the amount of time asked of tutors. In March 2020, Eberlin took on the challenge of tutoring online, helping her English as a Second Language (ESL) student secure a full-time job. “She is outstanding in motivating her tutees and in finding ways to communicate with them,” Vaughn said. “In her four years with Project READ, she has participated in every one of our extracurricular tutor activities, mentored new tutors and has taken the initiative to learn Spanish and Vietnamese to better serve her students.&rdquo

This weekend only, you can visit an exhibition in the Delmar Loop of rock gods taken by photographer gods — with curation from some of the city's biggest rock 'n roll fans. Jeff Appel, a St. Louis-based dealer who represents photographers across the Midwest, put together the three-day pop-up exhibition for an empty storefront fittingly located just a few doors down from Blueberry Hill, at 6388 Delmar Boulevard. He says he turned to local music fans Tom "Papa" Ray of Vintage Vinyl (and previously, and now controversially, KDHX) and Lauren Elwell of KSHE (94.7 FM), as well as musicians in beloved local cover band El Monstero, to help him decide which guitar icons to feature.

EDWARDSVILLE — Madison County officials have announced the distribution of an initial round of local grants aimed at the prevention of substance abuse, utilizing funds from a settlement in a lawsuit against opioid distributors. The county is receiving approximately $3.7 million over a period of years, through 2038, as its share of the opioid settlement. The county is using the settlement to provide grants to local agencies and organizations. “These initial grants will allow the recipients to provide critical, much-needed services,” said Madison County Mental Health Board Director Deborah Humphrey. “The services of these community partners will help mitigate the harms caused by the opioid epidemic.” State’s Attorney Tom Haine said: “These wonderful groups were already doing great work to help those affected by our ongoing opioid abuse epidemic. We are glad that these additional funds are now available to help boost their efforts in our community.
