2 years 8 months ago
ALTON - Several bids and demolitions for various properties around Alton were approved by the Committee of the Whole at their meeting on Oct. 23, 2023. A $1,656 bid for 913 Humboldt Ct. was accepted by the committee. The bidder previously stated this property is a lot connected to their backyard. They claimed to have been maintaining the property for 13 years as the city and/or county has been unable to effectively manage the lot’s overgrowth, but the bidder has plans to “beautify” it. “My plans are to continue to keep up with the maintenance and plant native species landscaping to help with the efforts to beautify and support the growth of our wonderful town,” the bidder wrote to the city. A $1,093.78 bid for 225 Hamilton St. was also approved. While the bid was placed by a different individual than 913 Humboldt Ct., they cited similar reasons for the bid - the bidder wrote that 225 Hamilton St. is next to their current property and they also seek

Senior Carter Dennis Scores In Final Game For Marquette, Is The Tucker's Automotive Repair & Tire Male Athlete Of The Month

2 years 8 months ago
ALTON - If there’s anyone who’s embodied the spirit of Marquette Explorer football over the past few seasons, it’s been Carter Dennis. Usually an unsung hero on the offensive and defensive line, in Marquette’s final home game of the season, head coach Eric Dickerson drew up a play to get the senior lineman the ball. Carter made a move like a seasoned halfback, got to the outside, and scored a six-yard rushing touchdown in his final game wearing Explorer Blue at Public School Stadium. The touchdown got the biggest cheer from the night from Marquette fans, and from Carter’s teammates alike. “When we drew up that little play to get him the ball, I had no idea we’d be down by the goal line,” said Eric Dickerson, on getting Carter the ball in the fourth quarter of their final regular season game. “It was a great team moment there, and for Carson to end his high school career that way is awesome.” Carter thought so too. “It
