ALTON - Alton High School will have another memorable spring production when it presents Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at 7 p.m. on April 27, 28, and 29 at AHS Auditorium. Anne Davis, the Alton High director, said the production is based on the following: "Way, way back many centuries ago, not long after the Bible began lived a man named Jacob and his 12 sons. The production is based on their lives." Davis said the story in this Alton High production is told to the audience by three narrators (Olivia Buck, Madison Ingram, and Makenzie Jones). Joseph, (Aaron Swanson) was Jacob’s (T.J. Lockhart) favorite son and he bestowed upon Joseph an Amazing Technicolor Coat. This made his 11 brothers (Aden Mayhew, Brandon Hayes, Eli Ware, Isaiah Moore, Jayden Snow, Kyle Neace, Landon Owen, Marvin Short, Mackenzie Ingram, Matt Taylor, and Max Barham) very jealous. So jealous, that they sell him into slavery, and off to Egypt he goes. Joseph first serves in the household of Potiphar

ALTON - New rubber mulch has been installed at Olin Park, a 4.7-acre park located in the City of Alton at State Street and Grand Avenue. The City of Alton Parks and Recreation Department maintains the park. The new mulch installation occurred after a $15,000 environmental grant was awarded by Madison County. "Olin is the only public park with a playground within a mile radius and serves a highly populated and diverse portion of the city, including an array of socio-economic classes," Alton Parks and Rec Director Michael Haynes said. "The playground is approximately 6,500 square feet and has had a wood mulch fall surface since its inception over a decade ago. "Without constant maintenance, wood mulch surfacing can become compacted, causing water flow issues and unwanted vegetation growth. In addition, wood mulch can float and wash away, absorb water, erode, or blow away. "Replacing the current wood mulch with 100% recycled rubber mulch nuggets will rectify the aforementioned issues

The origins of 420 Day are hazy. The number has been linked to rumored police radio codes that supposedly indicate whether there is marijuana on a suspect and it’s also a reference to a popular after school meeting time to smoke, popularized by a group of Californian teens in the 1970s. Either way, 420 Day is becoming a larger holiday as more U.S. states legalize the substance for recreational use. Several St. Louisans told St. Louis on the Air it is high time for Missouri to celebrate legalized recreational cannabis — and that there is still work to be done.
