When cops start raiding press outlets, everyone takes notice. This isn’t how this works — not in the United States with its long list of guaranteed […]

PIASA - Reagan Beilsmith finished a successful girls' track season this past spring and is now ready for fall cross country challenges, her Piasa Birds’ girls cross country coach Gary Bowker says. Now a junior, Reagan will once again be one of Southwestern’s top female runners in cross country. Reagan is a reigning 3,200-meter Macoupin Conference champion and Bowker expects big things from her in cross country.

She won the Macoupin County Meet with a time of 15:35.77 in the 3,200
