WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Mike Bost (IL-12) issued the following statement today regarding a potential government shutdown, which would occur Saturday evening if a spending agreement is not reached: "As the clock ticks closer to a government shutdown, House conservatives are fighting to end the border crisis and keep essential government services funded. The House has passed spending bills for military construction, veterans' programs, defense, homeland security, and the State Department. That's over 70% of government operations, responsibly funded. "The Democrat-controlled Senate, on the other hand, has passed zero appropriations bills. If the government shuts down, remember that House Republicans sought to restore certainty for American families, while the Washington Democrats failed to act."

ALTON – Refabulosed Relics, 615 East Broadway in Alton, has definitely earned a “high five.” On a chilly rainy afternoon in October of 2018, Christy Hellrung opened her doors to the public for the first time. So many things have changed since this day, and yet the “little business that could” has weathered the storms. From street closures for sewer/rainwater separations to COVID, and now ongoing construction across the street and an unpredictable economy, Hellrung says her business’s survival is certainly a cause for celebration. “We are a vintage, secondhand boutique specializing in home decor, architectural salvage, fashion accessories, toys and so much more,” Hellrung said. “We’ve been serving the Riverbend area for five years now. Our mission is to re-love and reuse vintage items to keep them out of our landfills.” The idea started as a space to paint furniture in the back room, dedicating the front for pickup.

CARLINVILLE - The Sangamon County Coroner Jim Allmon announced Friday that an investigation has been launched into Heinz Funeral Home/Family Care Cremations in Carlinville after he said there were incidents regarding identification of human remains. Allmon said the Sangamon County Coroner's Office and Sangamon County Sheriff's Office have launched the investigation. A press conference was held Friday about the situation, led by the coroner. Allmon said on Monday, Sept. 25, his office was contacted by a local hospital about a body that had been in its morgue for more than a month. Allmon said the family of the deceased woman had selected Heinz Funeral Home for assistance shortly after her death. "The family said they had already been provided with what they thought were the cremated remains of their mother," Allmon said. Allmon added that he had to tell the family of the woman that the cremated remains were not those of their mother and the body was still at the hospital morgue. Coroner
