Pro-life group shows that mifepristone is safe

2 years 7 months ago
Over the weekend I observed that conservatives have been notably silent about the flaky legal reasoning behind Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk's nationwide ban of the abortion pill mifepristone. Today, National Review's Michael New takes a different approach: instead of trying to defend Kacsmaryk's ruling on legal grounds, he claims that mifeprestone is, in fact, more dangerous ...continue reading "Pro-life group shows that mifepristone is safe"

On April Fools's Day, those watching the St. Louis CITY SC game got a huge dose of on-screen cuteness when the camera panned to T-Rav Baby. She was wearing a ravioli pillow and pink headphones and cheesing for the camera. Of course, we had to celebrate her and tracked down her dad, Chris Buerke, to find out more about how T-Rav Baby came to grace our screens.

Alton Little Theater Hosting Summer Acting Classes For Students Aged 8-17

2 years 7 months ago
ALTON - Alton Little Theater is launching summer acting classes for youthful performers, with a dozen 90-minute classes from June 20th through the end of July (with an open, no-charge showcase on Monday, July 31st for family members). Classes from 1 to 4:00 p.m. will be held at the ALT Showplace under the direction of Artistic Director, Kevin Frakes and Executive Director Lee Cox. Up to 30 students will be accepted for the first-ever real-theater-immersion classes offered for students ages 8-17. ALT's goal is to begin building a broader base of youth involvement in the coming three years since plans are afoot to produce the full version of FROZEN, a revised Disney tribute, and so many more shows that may require casting opportunities for under 18 (even though ALT tries very hard not to compete with concurrent school Theater programs). Application forms and more information can be obtained by calling Lee Cox at 618-462-3205. This is a nominal cost for the classes, but NO ONE ever

2 years 7 months ago
ALTON - Back in the day, cats getting stuck in trees and fire departments coming to the rescue used to be commonplace. There is a new technology twist to this story that doesn’t involve cats, and this time it’s the local responders who need assistance. Earlier this month, the Alton Police Department tactical drone got stuck up in a tree. “The Alton Police Department called me first out of all the other tree services… they called early and we hurried to their rescue,” said Aaron Hodge, owner of Riverbend Tree Service. Riverbend Tree Service provided this rescue as a complimentary service to the city and giving back to the community. In a letter from Alton Chief of Police Jarrett Ford, Jarrett wrote “Your service went above and beyond to retrieve the drone. We appreciate you and your community partnership”. Hodge believes that the Alton Police Department called Riverbend Tree because of his longstanding contract in managing the trees throughout
