Narrow Gauge Brewing Company is something of an underground phenomenon. Opened in 2016 as a brewpub in Cugino's Italian eatery (1595 North Highway 67; Florissant), the brewery only started limited local distribution in late 2021. The brand is still relatively unknown to casual St. Louis drinkers.
JERSEYVILLE - Pig on a Wing will be closing its restaurant located at 807 State Highway 16 in Jerseyville on March 31 and shifting focus to its food trucks. Owner Steve Walker said they will be adding a second food truck under a different name and with different food options later this spring. “This winter we decided to start building another food truck, and in April, that’ll be complete and ready to roll out,” Walker said. “That gives us two food trucks to work with and two food trucks that I have to staff, so we decided to put our efforts into the food trucks.” The name of the new food truck is going to be “Rolling Dogs,” and Walker said it will feature a different sandwich selection from the original Pig on a Wing food truck. “The second food truck, it’ll be sandwiches also, but just different from Pig on a Wing,” he said. “So it’ll be different varieties for people to look forward to.” Walker

BETHALTO - Junior Abrianna Garrett has been a constant for the CM Lady Eagles soccer team. The dangerous forward must always be marked, or she is going to make the other team pay. She burst onto the scene her freshman season with a 27-goal, 10-assist campaign. She followed that up the next season by scoring 37 and assisting seven. Her freshman year she teamed up with teammate and close friend Aubree Wallace. Wallace netted 23 goals to go along with Garrett in the 2020-21 season. As many know, Wallace was sidelined the entire following season dealing with an ACL tear during basketball season. That's when Garrett stepped it up the most and scored 37 to help bolster her team's attack. "She does what she does. She's relentless and very direct," CM head coach Eric Zyung said about his goal scorer. "She shares the ball well, but then she has an act for the goal. She just knows how to put the ball in the back of the net. She knows how to finish." As a junior, she's picking up right

EDWARDSVILLE - The first “Battle of the Badges” blood drive of 2023 is set for Monday, April 10. The Edwardsville Police and Fire Departments have rekindled this friendly competition in an effort to encourage much-needed blood donations. The blood drive will take place from noon to 6 p.m. at the Edwardsville Public Safety Building, 333 S. Main Street. The American Red Cross will operate the event from the second-floor training room. The fire and police departments collaborate on the Battle of the Badges blood drive at least twice a year.

ALTON - Today, Sierra Club Illinois announced a lawsuit against Prairie State Generating Co. (PSGC) for operating the Prairie State Energy Campus (PSEC) without a permit. Sierra Club’s lawsuit urges PSGC to cease operations until it obtains a lawful CAAPP (also known as a Title V) permit required by the Clean Air Act. The Prairie State coal plant is one of the dirtiest and deadliest plants in the United States. “No plant is above the law, especially one that is among the most polluting coal plants in the country,” said Christine Nannicelli, Senior Campaign Representative for the Beyond Coal Campaign of Sierra Club Illinois. “PSEC’s owners, like the Illinois Municipal Electric Agency (IMEA) and the Northern Illinois Municipal Power Agency (NIMPA), are actively pursuing federal taxpayer subsidies and investors to install carbon capture technology at the plant. Prairie State should instead be focused on complying with basic environmental laws like the Clean
