WOOD RIVER - There was a sense of excitement about the future from students who attended the career fair open to all schools last week at East Alton-Wood River High School.

2 years 9 months ago
As the FDA is warning about infant head-shaping pillows, experts are reminding you about best practices: infants should sleep on their back on a flat, firm fitted sheet, and they should be alone on that surface.
