JERSEYVILLE - Expansion is, at long last, on the horizon for the Jerseyville Public Library thanks to the generosity of the City of Jerseyville. The Board of Trustees began work on their vision for expansion of the library facilities by exploring grant opportunities as far back as 2010. In 2012, the Library’s architects quoted an amount which would be sufficient for the expansion plans and that amount was requested via a grant through the Illinois State Library. After seven years of applying, the library was finally awarded the grant in 2020. Also notable about that particular year was the onset of the COVID Pandemic. Due to the pandemic’s far-reaching impact on the economy, particularly construction costs, supply chain issues, etc., the grant amount became insufficient to see the expansion through as it was originally envisioned. The Board of Trustees began trimming away at those initial plans and eventually came up with a project that would maintain the integrity of the

Kid Rock had a little fit yesterday when he learned that Anheuser-Busch was standing by its recent partnership with trans activist and influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Bud Light recently enlisted Mulvaney to help the brand connect with consumers (and sent her a can with her face on it to celebrate her first “365 Days of Girlhood") and some snowflakes like Kid Rock are big mad about it. The beer giant isn’t caving to pressure from a mounting Bud Light boycott, though.

EDWARDSVILLE - Civic Memorial softball shortstop Bella Thien is off to a magnificent start this season, hitting .391 with two home runs and 16 RBIs as the Eagles have gotten off to a 6-1 start. Her second homer of the year came on Apr. 3, when Thien sent a three-run shot over the left field fence to give the Eagles some cushion in what turned out to be a 6-4 win at Edwardsville, which is a signature win for the CM program. For her efforts on the field, Thien has been selected as a Tom Lane State Farm Female Athlete of the Month for the Eagles. Thien, who's coached by Lucas Angelo, was ecstatic following her homer and the Eagles' sixth win of the season. "I'm feeling good," Thien said in a postgame interview.

Thien doesn't remember the pitch she hit over the left field fence, but just wanted to find some way to get on base and extend the Eagles' lead. "I don't remember
