BETHALTO - “It’s exciting times,” Todd Hannaford said, CM’s athletic director. The fall sports season usually brings a lot of excitement around the Riverbend area, but that excitement is ramped up to 11 for the Bethalto community. Work has been going on at their football stadium this summer to make it look almost unrecognizable from a season ago.

Pawloski entered Eden Theological Seminary in Webster Groves Missouri in September of 2015. Eden offers first-year students an opportunity to go to seminary tuition free.
