The recipients for the month of March are Haylie Eilerman (10) (right) & Cali Breden (11) (left).

If something published in this newspaper caught your eye in the past decade, there’s a decent chance it was because of Nick Pistor. That’s odd, I’ll admit. Nick made his name as a reporter at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which is, of course, not this newspaper. We met many years ago while competing on coverage of City Hall – his specialty. There was Rams drama. There were spending fights. Tantrums, too. If you stick around St. Louis long enough, the stories recycle, sometimes with only…

Did you know that nearly 80% of Jewish families around the world engage in the Passover Seder, a ritual feast that has remained remarkably consistent for over three millennia? This statistic underscores not only the significance of Passover in Jewish culture but also the resilience and adaptability of its traditions. As families gather each year to commemorate their ancestors’ liberation from slavery in Egypt, they partake in deeply-rooted rituals that connect generations and impart fundamental lessons about freedom, faith, and community. Unpacking the Meaning of Passover Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is one of the most important festivals in Judaism.

EDWARDSVILLE - A group of eight 4th grade girls that attend St. Mary’s School have been busy working on a “Nature Club” everyday at recess. The girls came up with the idea because they all share a love for being outside, helping animals, and observing how plants, trees, seeds and grass grow. The girls have been working hard to organize, plan, and come up with fun ways to make money for their club so they can use the money to support community organizations that support nature. All their hard work came to fruition this weekend when they hosted their first check presentation at Metro East Humane Society. They were able to donate $50 to the organization. They were excited to learn that with the $50, MEHS will be able to help four dogs. Katie from Metro East Humane Society expressed her appreciation to the girls. Katie said, “Thank you for stopping by and for supporting MEHS! We loved having you out and sharing our love for animals and the environment with you.”

April 11th has been a day of remarkable events throughout history, ranging from groundbreaking scientific achievements to pivotal political developments. One of the most iconic events in modern history took place on April 11, 1970, when NASA launched Apollo 13, a mission that would become one of the most famous in space exploration. Originally intended to land on the Moon, the mission faced a critical failure just two days into its journey when an oxygen tank exploded. This catastrophic event led to a heroic struggle for survival as the crew, along with mission control, devised innovative solutions to bring the astronauts back safely to Earth. The phrase 'Houston, we have a problem' has since become synonymous with crisis management and problem-solving under pressure. The successful return of the Apollo 13 crew is a testament to human ingenuity and resilience. Fast forward to April 11, 1981, when the first space shuttle, Columbia, was launched on its maiden flight, STS-1. This
