ALTON - The 15th annual Alton Miles for Meso 5K Race and 3K Fun Run/Walk was once again a huge success. On Saturday, Sept. 23, community members enjoyed a family-friendly morning with bounce houses, vendors, live music and food.

That’s what we’re all about. It’s a horrible, horrible disease.” Simmons Hanly Conroy , a national law firm that specializes in mesothelioma lawsuits, sponsors the Miles for Meso event.

JERSEYVILLE - A Jerseyville man is facing two felony counts of witness harassment while a Fieldon woman has been charged with criminal property damage in Jersey County over the past week, according to recent court filings. Timothy L. Moxey, 42, of Jerseyville, was charged with two counts of harassment of witnesses, once on Sept. 1 and again on Sept. 3.
