WASHINGTON – U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) joined U.S. Senator Edward J. Markey (D-MA) in introducing the Protecting Kids from Gun Marketing Act , legislation that directs the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to prescribe rules that prohibit the marketing of firearms to children. The legislation comes as Americans suffered 52 mass shootings and 3,700 gun-related deaths across the United States in the first month of this year alone.

These weapons include Chicago-based WEE1 Tactical’s ‘JR-15’ assault-style

JERSEYVILLE - The Jersey Community High School Band Boosters are excited to announce our first annual Share the Love donation campaign. Despite JCHS’s commitment to our student musicians, the band still has many underfunded needs. With a goal of raising $10,000, we hope to improve aspects of the band program for our talented high school students who perform throughout the year during community parades, memorial ceremonies, jazz events, and athletic events. The JCHS band program, under the direction of Erin Bittles, currently has $75,000 in worn equipment which needs replacement.

We have prioritized needs beginning with the instruments in the worst condition. The band is in need of a new sousaphone, quad drums an
