ALTON - The Alton Municipal Band enters week two of its 132nd season of Concerts in the Parks with a celebration of conductor Jennifer Shenberger, who has co-directed the band for a decade. The theme of the concert, “Jen’s Tenth Anniversary Playlist,” will feature some of Shenberger’s favorites: music that the band has performed before, and music that she remembers listening to growing up. Performing alongside the band this week is solo percussionist Noah Petti, who will dazzle the audience with his virtuosic musicianship. The band will present the concert twice: once on Thursday evening at 7:30 (Riverview Park), and once on Sunday evening at 7:00 (Haskell Park).

GODFREY - The Rolling Hills Golf Course located at 5801 Pierce Lane, Godfrey, suffered a minor beam support failure in their clubhouse causing the Godfrey Fire Department to come and intervene. General Manager Rick Martin said a support beam rotted out causing the building to lower a couple of inches. The wooden part at the bottom of the beam deteriorated enough to cause the support beam to fail. Martin and the staff were forced to shut down the restaurant and bar area due to safety precautions. The pro shop and courses are still open per usual. The beam was located near the garage where all of the golf carts are stored but Martin says that staff were able to retrieve some carts before the fire department shut the area down. It's expected that there will still be enough carts for the course's regularly scheduled league. During this heat wave, the course is still able to sell bottled soft drinks and canned beer to its guests until the lounge reopens. "I mean, the golf course is

Holloway faces charges of two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of intentional homicide to an unborn child, dismembering a human body, offenses related to motor vehicles, and concealment of a homicide death. Chief Pulido said in a video broadcast on Monday: “That monster had an on-and-off relationship with Liese for about two years. “She had an expected delivery date in late July and that ‘monster’ savagely decapitated her and brutally murdered the unborn child.” Pulido said today the Alton Police Department has a very experienced staff, but “unfortunately, this crime is one of the most horrific actions we have ever seen
CHICAGO - Today, Governor JB Pritzker signed legislation into law requiring insurance and managed health plans provide coverage for continuous glucose monitors, an essential tool for diabetes care. SB2969 expands safe and affordable treatment options for thousands of Illinoisans. Continuous glucose monitors are essential devices for patients with both Type I and Type II diabetes to maintain safe blood sugar levels and prevent the need for emergency medical care. The bill was signed at Lurie Children’s Hospital, a major endocrinology center that treats thousands of diabetic patients each year. “No one—regardless of their socioeconomic status or insurance coverage—should go without the care they require,” said Governor Pritzker. “But for too long, diabetics have had to make the impossible choice between obtaining this necessary medical equipment or putting food on the table. That is an unacceptable burden to ask diabetics to bear, and this legislation
