The Riverbend Growth Association, lead by Monica Bristow, marshaled Growth Association Ambassador’s to be present for the momentous event. Monica welcomed the new establishment to the area and pledged the assistance of the Association in helping the operation succeed. After that, the group stepped out into the sunny, but frigid, winter day cut a blue ribbon in front the clinic. After the words of welcome and the cutting of the ribbon, the staff conducted tours of the completely renovated space. The clinic Manager, Michelle Gross, LPN, explained that the facility has 3 fully equipped exam rooms, a lab room and a procedure room intended for sutures, etc. Gross said that the clinic will have a staff of 7 including Physician’s Assistants; Nurse Practitioners; and Registered Medical Assistants. Dr. David Burnside, M.D., Director of Alton Memorial’s Convenient Care Clinic has been in the Memorial Hospital system for 16 years and thinks the time has come for establishment of clinics such as Convenient Care to address health issues that “do not warrant an ER visit.” “Visits to the clinic,” says Burnside, “will cost significantly less than a visit to the Emergency Room because the clinic does not carry the full suite of medical devices and equipment typically found in a hospital ER. However, Dr. Burnside was quick to add that “Convenient Care has the full weight and purpose of Alton Memorial Hospital behind it and that, when through the process of quick diagnosis, it becomes apparent that the patent requires the capabilities of a hospital, the patient will be quickly transported to the hospital.” Gross says that the hours of operation are from 2:00pm through 10:00pm seven days a week.

Here we take you into the Family Kitchen where the ladies have fun and learn the tricks of the trade between three generations of cooks.   Bee’s Spicy Pumpkin Pie from scratch: Picking Out Your Pumpkin: Bee’s tip: When picking out your pumpkin, you want to make sure it is a pie pumpkin. Her favorite kind to use it Long Island Cheese pumpkins, but they can be hard to find. Her grandson, Nicholas Kohler, usually picks out the pumpkins for her.  “I look for pumpkins that are a more creamy tan color rather than your typical orange color,” said Nicholas. “The guts in the middle are a brighter orange than your average pumpkin. I like to buy mine fresh at produce stands to get the best quality for my pie.” Nicholas also added that since you only need 2 cups of actual pumpkin, you only need a pumpkin that is about 8-10 inches in diameter.   How to Cook Pumpkin To bake a fresh 6-7 pound pumpkin, cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds and strings. Places both halves, hollow side down, in a large baking pan and add a little water.  Bake, uncovered in preheated 375- degree oven for 1 ½- 2 hours or until tender. Remove. When cool, scrape pulp from shells and puree, a little at a time, in food processor or blender. Mix with a little salt. Set in strainer to remove moisture.  Pie Crust 1 Cup Flour 1 teaspoon sugar ½ teaspoon salt 5 tablespoons butter, chilled and cubed 3 tablespoons margarine, chilled and cubed 3 tablespoons ice water Combine flour, sugar and salt.

"I appreciated Austin and his work ethic and his poise, his dedication and the tireless effort that he put in to prepare himself to play. He’s much better now than he was when he started, but made the decision to go ahead and play with Shaun. It's all out in the open, there’s no controversy. "We're moving forward with an experienced quarterback that for all intents and purposes lost his job because of injury. You all understand why we went that way because of the production that we got earlier out of Austin. The last few weeks have been difficult for him. The defenses that he’s faced have been especially good. Again, I don’t want to present anything that appears to be cloudy, but this is in my opinion and the offensive staff's opinion, what’s best for this football team right now." Hill, who suffered a quad/thigh injury in early September against Minnesota, admits that once he was healthy, it was tough not to be taking the snaps under center. "When that happened, I still had a job to do," he explained. “You just kind of have to dust yourself off and go do what you’re asked to do. It was hard, but still at the same time, it’s not like getting cut and you're out of here. You've got to really be able to wipe it off and accept your role at that time. Also, I had the two weeks of injury that I was just fighting to get a jersey. I knew those weeks I wasn’t going to be starting, so as it kind of all play https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/2108.mp4 2014-11-13T04:47:00-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/riverbend-weekend-111414-video-2109.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/2109.jpg Riverbend Weekend 11-14-14 This week's Riverbend Weekend will be interrupted to bring you the Governor of the Riverbend debate, moderated by Aunt Ricky. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/2109.mp4 2014-11-13T18:49:57-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/rams-week-11-preview-peyton-manning-video-2110.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/2110.jpg Rams Week 11 Preview: Peyton Manning Brian Stull (@StullySTL) is a special contributor for Riverbender.com and is a former sideline reporter for the St. Louis Rams The Rams have quite the challenge coming up as one of the greatest quarterbacks to play the game, arguably playing his best ball, visits the Edward Jones Dome to add to the Broncos' division lead.

Over the last three weeks, the Rams defense has allowed opponents an average of only 45.3 yards rushing—down from the 144.7 teams averaged against St. Louis prior. And as they prepare to travel to San Diego for their Week 12 matchup, middle linebacker James Laurinaitis says the experience from the first half of the season is finally paying off. “The more you understand the scheme, the faster you play,” pointed out Laurinaitis. “For the guys that were here two years ago with Blake (Williams)—we’ve been able to play the scheme the way it’s played, we’re used to it. But there’s a lot of guys that are young that weren’t a part of that. For whatever reason, it’s just a better understanding.” Twelve defensive players are either in their rookie or second season for St. Louis. “I think guys have learned, experience is invaluable,” continued Laurinaitis. “When you have a ton of experience—now that these guys are building back there. The rookies are half way through the season now, they’ve seen a lot of football at the pro level so they can start to play things faster. That’s the important thing, we have a lot of guys that are getting experience and really getting more experience playing with each other. “There wasn’t any magic fairy dust, we all stick to the script and just kept practicing the way we knew how to and we’ve just gotten better results.” https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/2117.mp4 2014-11-19T18:19:00-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/grannys-uniforms-work-fashions--more-video-2119.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/2119.jpg Granny's Uniforms Work Fashions & More Granny's Uniforms Work Fashions & More was honored by the River Bend Growth Association with a Ribbon Cutting commemorating the Upper Alton store’s third anniversary.  As its name indicates, Granny’s is definitely the place to go in search of quality work-related clothing; what’s more, the shop carries school clothing for many of the Catholic and private schools in the area.

Owner Katie Roach, LMT specializes in Myofascial Release and Massage Therapy.  Katie, a 2009 graduate of Boulder College of Massage Therapy in Boulder, CO, offers clients the opportunity to experience Myofascial Release (MR), a whole-body approach that is highly effective in tracing pain back to its source.  Fascia is a sheet or band of connective tissue enveloping, separating, or binding together muscles, organs and other soft structures of the body. According to the Fascia Research Society, fascia is the most pervasive, but perhaps least understood network of the human body. Fascia MR addresses the fascial system, which is affected greatly when the body goes through trauma such as whiplash, surgery, athletic injuries, postural dysfunctions, and chronic pain which results in restricted range of motion and pain. Through MR, these fascial restrictions can be eliminated along with self-care methods that Katie shows each client individually. The result is pain-free movement and being able to enjoy life fully and all its adventures! https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/2194.mp4 2015-01-22T16:16:00-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/local-vendors-of-the-riverbend-compete-in-the-battle-of-the-beers-video-2195.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/2195.jpg Local Vendors of the Riverbend Compete in the Battle of the Beers Lily's Lounge, in the Atrium Hotel of Alton, recently hosted the Battle of the Beers.

In this session, an attempt to change the agreement with the Calhoun Ferry Company by having them pay one third of annual dredging fees, which was thought to sound the death knell for the ferry service, was defeated after much input from those in the audience who represent tourist related businesses and those worried about how the City would replace tax money gained through tourism.

Joell Aguirre, Director of Member Services, congratulated Eppel on his successes and thanked him for his RBGA membership.  After introducing his staff, Eppel introduced his wife Patty, son Jacob and daughter Sophie who were on site for the celebration. Watch the video and see Aguirre skillfully draw the notoriously introverted Eppel out his shell to describe for us how he’s built Eppel’s Pantry and Deli into the place where everyone knows your name.

After watching the video this River Bend Growth Association event, you will have no doubt why Dream Home Realty Centre, Inc., and the ‘Dream Team’ that Managing Broker and Owner Sherry Gilleland has assembled, are winners of the Small Business of the Month award for May 2015.

Balding’s disillusionment prompted him to start Partners Agencies, Inc., which are independent insurance agencies.  A Partners Agencies agent, because they work with a network of over 30 national and regional carriers, save their clients premium, while making sure that those they insure know exactly what is covered.

Nosce, who has been a part of the Riverbender.com Community Center for five years, is moving away to continue his education at Illinois Sate University.  John Hentrich, Volunteer Executive Director of the Center, said:"It has been very rewarding to watch Daniel grow from a participant at our dances, to a young volunteer, and then an employee who managed birthday parties and other private rentals. He has expressed to me on many occasions how we have impacted his life and career choices." "He has been a true pleasure to work with and a great role model for other kids." Daniel has been the emcee and an organizer of dances at the Community Center since 2012. Nosce said working at the Community Center has been one of his most cherished memories so far. "The Community Center has become another home for me," he said. "I have seen a lot of folks walk through the doors and a lot of them became my friends. My philosophy is it is all about the kids. If they are having fun, it is worth it." Nosce said the Riverbender.com Community Center has an incredible volunteer base. "Without volunteers, what it does wouldn't be possible," he said. "Volunteers range from young and old. They come in different backgrounds and are some of the hardest working people I have ever met. All of the volunteers are the glue that holds the Community Center together." The Alton youth said there have been many middle school students who have learned how to behave themselves at the Riverbender.com Community Center and most of them always smile. "The people at the Community Center taught me to always smile no matter what the odds and to believe in myself," he said. "The Community Center has really helped me grow as a person." Nosce plays the saxophone and piano and he has given a lot of free music lessons to youth over his time there. Music is Nosce's passion and love.

The restaurant is intimate, cleverly decorated and takes full advantage of the rivers vista.  But let’s face it, it’s the food that makes the restaurant and that’s where your journey begins; from start to finish, it’s a trip you’ll remember  and  want to take again.

It’s uncommon for the Growth Association to hold a ribbon cutting over the weekend, but after RBGA Director of Member Services Joell Aguirre heard what Bill had in mind for the event, she realized only a Saturday afternoon would work.  As if to emphasize Bill’s aspirations toward restoration of classic cars, the A+ parking lot was ringed with mint condition classics from local car clubs. Anton also used the gathering of friends, well-wishers and the media to voice his gratitude for the help he received from the Service Corp Of Retired Executives (SCORE) in taking his business from an idea to a reality.  SCORE is an organization made up of a network of expert business mentors who offer free confidential services with the intent of optimal success for new businesses.  They also work with existing businesses to help identify ways to increase profit, improve employee and customer satisfaction, and achieve work/ life balance.  Richard Rook of the local SCORE Chapter helped Anton build a business plan, and identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats involved in opening an automotive repair/restoration business in Alton. Tom Hoechst, CNB Bank and Trust Business Development Officer, was also on hand for the ceremony.  Anton praised Hoechst and CNB Alton Market President Steve Thompson for their help in securing financing for his business.

Keller became a dentist at Carrow and Chapel’s practice in 2013.  This July, when Dr. Carrow decided to trade his dental tools for golf clubs and a fishing rod, Drs. Chapel and Keller decided to form a new partnership. On Thursday afternoon, the River Bend Growth Association celebrated the new partnership with a ribbon cutting.  RBGA Director of Member Services Joell Aguirre presided over the ceremony which was attended by family, friends and Godfrey Mayor Mike McCormick as well as Growth Association Ambassadors, whose function is promoting the RBGA and recruiting new members.  Watch Joell as she congratulates the Dentists on their newly formed partnership and finds out not only about their practice, but an interesting coincidence (truth can be stranger than fiction) that binds the two dentist.  Chapel and Keller Dentistry 4113 Humbert Road Alton, IL 62002 618-465-7777 Chapel and Keller Dentistry Hours Monday:              8:30am – 5:00pm Tuesday:             7:00am – 7:00pm Wednesday:        8:30am – 5:00pm Thursday:           7:00am – 3:30pm Friday:                7:00am – 3:30pm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/2476.mp4 2015-10-18T23:11:00-05:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/the-downtown-alton-chili-cookoff-video-2477.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/2477.jpg The Downtown Alton Chili Cook-Off Elijah P's warehouse was packed wall-to-wall with chili contestants during Downtown Alton's Chili Cook-Off.

Co-Manager Christine Favilla began the presentation by welcoming all those in attendance and by thanking all those who banded together to make the Grass Roots Grocery project a reality. After introducing Co-Manager Sara McGibany and Steering Committee Members and staff who were present, Christine introduced Dr. Jackie Burns, Professor and Department Chair of Sociology at Principia College. For years Dr. Burns has been leading the metro-east in the area of social enterprise. She spoke briefly about the devastating effect globalization has had on communities across the nation and how she expects the new grocery store to play a role in revitalizing the community. Mayor Brant Walker lauded Sara and Christine for their effort in giving life to the new grocery store and spoke of its importance to revitalization of the Hunterstown neighborhood. Favilla spoke of a program initiated by Grass Roots employees with the intention of building community and relationships by giving every kid and every police officer who walk in the door a free piece of fruit. She thanked the Simmons Hanly Conroy Law Firm – specifically the Simmons Employee Foundation - for their sponsorship of the program.

City of Wood River Mayor Frank Akers attended the ribbon cutting along with Councilwoman Cheryl Maguire, Fire Chief Steve Alexander, Park & Recreation Department Director Jason Woody and Aquatics Center Manager Fred Slow.  The Mayor said that he’d received many complements on the great improvement to the property on which the store was built - property that had been neglected for several decades.  Akers went on to urge all the residents of the river bend area to come by and see what Advance Auto Parts has to offer. Usually after all of the speaking about the new business, it’s time for the ribbon to be cut, but Advance Auto Parts is no ordinary corporation.  As a way of jump-starting its relationship with their new community, Advance Auto Parts corporate office gives new stores $1,000 to donate to a charity of their choice.  Victor and his team chose to donate the $1,000 to the United Way. Watch as Victor presents a ceremonial check to Maura Wuellner, Director of United Way’s Illinois Region.   Focused on going the extra mile in customer service, Advance Auto Parts will not make you pay for wiper blade and battery installation, makes loaner tool sets available to its customers and test batteries, alternators and starters for no charge (pardon the pun.)

When Aguirre asked how the merger came about, GCS Credit Union CEO Keith Burton said “Credit Unions have been around a long time, and Bell Credit Union’s been around for about 80 years.  Due to different circumstances….a lot of times credit unions have a hard time facing regulations so they look for a strong partner to further their existence; we’re happy and excited that they picked GCS Credit Union.  We feel we are a very good fit.”  Addition of the Alton location brings the number of GCS locations to 8. Jon Norman, a familiar face within the former Bell Community Credit Union, will act as Branch Manager and is excited about the how the new relationship will expand the financial service offerings to the area.

In fact, the Christmas Spirit was in full affect thanks to a group of first responders and bikers who team up every year for the Patches and Badges for Kids annual shopping spree.  15 years ago, Brent Wells was given the task of making Christmas bright for underprivileged children in the Riverbend. Every year since then, he along with his brothers and a dedicated staff of volunteers have delivered on that mission. This year, 34 children from all around the Riverbend received a Christmas they will never forget.  Escorted by a team of volunteers, these children filled their shopping carts with the toys, clothes, shoes, and coats that they wanted to have.  The children are nominated by social workers at each of the local schools.  As each group made their way around the store, the smiles brightened up everyone’s night. Watch the video for more…   The money this year was raised through numerous sources.  The Illinois Hog Chapter held a charity ride that ended up at Music Fest III at the Alton Wood River Sportsman’s Club in August.  The Red Knights MC held a charity ride as well. Brent’s brothers and other’s close to the organization give freely each year. One group stood out among the rest though, Pride Fitness in Wood River found ways to make contributions throughout the year. They donated dues for special nights, sold water with Patches and Badges labeling, and put a lot of creative effort into procuring donations for the special event.  To donate to Patches for Badges or to become involved with their mission, you can visit them at PatchesandBadgesForKids.com  or follow them on their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Patches-and-Badges-for-Kids-NFP-113666362020012/?fref=ts   Video and Story by Dan Pyle Host of Riverbend Weekend on RBTV https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/2519.mp4 2015-12-04T15:36:00-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/carrollton-at-roxana-boys-basketball-12415-video-2520.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/2520.jpg Carrollton at Roxana Boys Basketball 12-4-15 The Hawks take on the Shells in Roxana. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/2520.mp4 2015-12-04T15:55:00-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/deliverance-temple-service-12615-video-2521.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/2521.jpg Deliverance Temple Service 12-6-15 Deliverance Temple, located at 1125 East Sixth Street in Alton, holds its service every Sunday starting at 10:00 AM. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/2521.mp4 2015-12-06T15:02:00-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/shop-with-a-cop-helps-to-put-more-presents-under-the-trees-of-the-river-bend-video-2522.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/2522.jpg Shop with a Cop Helps to Put more Presents Under the Trees of the River bend The annual Shop with a Cop program helps spread Christmas cheer to families who may not be able to cover everyone on their shopping list.

Two areas where Phoenix stands out in the area of Physical Therapy are personal training and specialization in Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT).  Physical Therapist Chris Amick specializes in VRT, he explains Vestibular as an inner ear disorder causing disequilibrium, dizziness and vertigo.   VRT is an exercise-based regimen that can significantly reduce Vestibular symptoms by stimulating the body’s central nervous system to adapt and compensate for changes to balance due to inner ear issues and concussions.  The office offers over 2000 square feet of space containing training and exercise equipment for both rehabilitation and training. Phoenix Physical Therapy is open  Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 7:30am to 6:00pm and by appointment on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

Cpl. Christopher Belchik is a Marine who was killed in action on Aug. 22, 2004, by a roadside bomb during his second deployment to Iraq, assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division. He was the first veteran in this area to return home KIA. One of the joys in Chris’s life was his motorcycle that he purchased while stationed at Camp Lejeune North Carolina. Although many joked with him about its pink/purple paint job, Belchik was proud of his 1995 Suzuki Katana. Chris would call his brother from Iraq and ask about his bike, making sure it was being taken care of and covered at all times. Older brother Brian knew he had to maintain that responsibility and forever hold the motorcycle close to his heart. After much persuasion, Brian let go of the motorcycle and into the hands of Pinto’s Kustoms in East Alton. “We originally asked Brian if we could use this bike to do this project and he actually didn’t want anyone to touch it,” said Jason Thompson, CEO of the US Veterans Foundation. “But after a little convincing, we got hm to release the bike to us and we dropped it off over at Ethan Humbert’s shop, at Pinto’s Kustom’s who took it in and completed the project just for the cost of parts. They didn’t charge any labor or anything.” The US Veterans Foundation , Ted’s Motorcycle World , Iron  House CrossFit, Pinto’s Kustoms & Collision and family and friends all came together to raise the funds to complete a project that the Belchik family could only dream of. Brian’s Saturday morning started out pretty much like any other. As Belchik and his colleagues were conducting their weekly workout session at the Iron House CrossFit Gym in Godfrey, little did he know there were dozens of family and friends waiting for him https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/2537.mp4 2015-12-20T14:56:00-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/deliverance-temple-service-122115-video-2538.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/2538.jpg Deliverance Temple Service 12-21-15 Deliverance Temple, located at 1125 East Sixth Street in Alton, holds its service every Sunday starting at 10:00 AM. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/2538.mp4 2015-12-21T01:25:07-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/the-east-alton-skating-academy-presents-home-for-the-holidays-video-2539.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/2539.jpg The East Alton Skating Academy Presents "Home for the Holidays" The East Alton Skating Academy held a winter ice show dedicated to the men and women of the U.S. armed forces at the East Alton Ice Arena.

Brad Hagen grew up in Jersey County and said that since he’d gotten into the restaurant business he’d dreamed of having a seafood place on the water.  When his friends Joe and Jan DeSherlia, owners of Grafton Harbor , contacted him late last year about availability of some space above their General Store and Gift shop, Hagen saw the opportunity to live his dream. Grafton Oyster Bar’s menu emphasizes Seafood and Cajun Creole Cuisine and offers specials on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.  Tuesday’s special is dollar oysters and on Wednesday’s kids eat free.  Hagen said that the Oyster Bar would soon be offering ‘Dinner Night for Two’ for $35 on Tuesday and Wednesday night’s featuring appetizer, salad, entrees and choice of dessert.

The award is given to locally-owned small businesses, which are members of the RBGA. Raging Rivers has won the honor several times, and was given the RBGA "Captain of the River Bend" Award in 2015.  Award winners are chosen by community nomination. Businesses in the River Bend networked with RBGA then submit applications. Those applications are reviewed by a committee, which chooses them based on several factors such as, number of employees, community involvement, innovation and reputation.  "It's a very competitive award," RBGA director of member services, Trish Holmes, said. "The winners are very deserving of the award."  Raging Rivers General Manager Donna Smith said she was "thrilled" to receive the award. She said she was excited for the season to begin on May 28, as well.  "We've don't have any new attractions this year, but we've got a lot of work done to the park," she said.  Park improvements include, a new seamless swirl pool. Smith said one of the two pools went seamless last season, but now they both have the improvement. The seamless design allows people to travel faster on the ride without seams scratching backs and hindering the experience. She said they have made cosmetic improvements to "Itty Bitty Surf City," a kids' park within Raging Rivers.  "You have to go there, and just be surprised by it," said Scott Adams, one of the park's owners. "It really pops."  Adams said Raging Rivers was an excellent "stay-cation" getaway, and said visitors to the park could "get away from it all for a few days" in Grafton. He cited the village's expanding restaurant selection and lodging accommodations as well as Raging Rivers.  Raging Rivers https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/2672.mp4 2016-05-03T22:37:00-05:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/edwardsville-at-alton-baseball-5516-video-2673.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/2673.jpg Edwardsville at Alton Baseball 5-5-16 The Redbirds and Tigers step up to the plate in Edwardsville. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/2673.mp4 2016-05-05T14:23:00-05:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/midwest-members-credit-union-video-2674.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/2674.jpg Midwest Members Credit Union Midwest Members Credit Uniton, formerly Shell Community Federal Credit Union, is committed to being "The One Place to Go" for all your financial needs. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/2674.mp4 2016-05-05T21:50:00-05:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/hats-off-to-hayden--video-2675.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/2675.jpg Hats Off to Hayden Firetrucks, police, the mayor, East Alton citizens, teachers, students, and super heroes filled the streets outside Eastwood Elementary to celebrate Hat's Off to Hayden and declare Hayden Brown's special day.

The new expansion office is located on the corner of Essex and Sinclair in Jerseyville in the former First Bank Branch Office. It had a soft opening May 2, and celebrated a grand opening ribbon cutting on May 11. It will operate to sell premium pre-owned cars, said Quality Auto Network Jerseyville General Manager Robin Soehnlin.  "We sell pre-owned vehicles here, and all of them go through the service department where a multitude of highly-trained and factory-trained service workers give each vehicle a 172-point inspection," she said. "Each vehicle must pass before they can be sold here."  The Jerseyville office is staffed by Soehnlin as well as one member of the Stevenson family, whose patriarch began the business in 1958, and at least one highly-qualified salesperson.  Joe Hanahan has been working at the extension since it opened. He said the dealership extension has already sold several cars during its short time open. He has more than 30 years experience selling vehicles to River Bend residents.  "I like it up here," he said of Jerseyville. "There are nice people and it's a good community. People here are really supportive of our business."  That sentiment was shared Wednesday morning by Quality Auto Network Co-Owner David Stevenson. Stevenson described the decision to purchase and utilize the former bank branch as "a natural choice."  "I liked the building and the location," Stevenson said. "We really liked doing business with people in Jerseyville as well."  The extension will house surplus vehicles from the Alton lot, which currently holds as many as 150 pre-owned vehicles.

Formerly Shell Community Federal Credit Union, the name change reflects changes both in the financial institution and the community which it serves. Shell built its refinery in Wood River in 1917 and Shell Community Federal Credit Union opened to serve the refinery workers and their families in 1935. The last two and a half decades saw the Shell Wood River Refinery, through a string of mergers, joint ventures and sales, transition to ConocoPhillips. With the recent expansion of its charter to include other communities in Madison County, the Credit Union thought it was time for a name change.

Broadway, the name of the game is purchasing closeouts, overstocks and out of season products that they then turn around and sell deeply discounted to the public.  One never knows what they’ll find on any given day because inventory is always changing.  “We specialize in bringing in one-off opportunities and then selling them at 50% of the cost.  So for example, the La-Z- Boy recliner, if you get on your smartphone and research that model it sell for $1,000, we sell it in-store for $500 – while supplies last.” Said owner Shawn Downing . Discount Liquidation Products is also an authorized U-Haul dealer and rents trucks, trailers and any of U-Haul’s lineup.  “It’s another added service.  That way, if you bought that kitchen island but you have a car and no way to get it home, I wanted to offer another solution to you to get it home.” On Thursday April 27, the Riverbend Growth Association (RBGA) held a ribbon cutting ceremony to recognize Discount Liquidation Products as its newest member.   Attending the event, along with Growth Association Director of Member Services Trish Holmes, was Alton Housing and Development Director Greg Caffey, Mark Ellebracht, host of WBGZ’s morning ‘Let’s Talk’ program and 16 RBGA Ambassadors. Discount Liquidation Products is located at 1848 E. Broadway in Alton, next to door to the Alton Law Enforcement Center.  Discount Liquidation Products also has a location in Granite City.

Main Street with a ribbon cutting. The store is built around Greg Brummett’s artwork which includes jewelry made with silver, copper and semi-precious gemstones, lamps, tables and a form of art called Steampunk.  The art of Steampunk is defined as a style of science fiction - mixing modern technology with the Victorian period.  The result is a ‘have-to-see-to-believe’ collection of curious and clever lamps, tables and wall decorations. The shop also stocks locally made candles, pottery with handmade soaps and sugar scrubs made by the couple’s daughter. ‘Crafted in Grafton’ is a term used often by Janey who says about her shop “you’re going to get something unique, you’re going to get something special and something you can’t get anywhere else.” Janey thanked Jeff and Sandy Lorton for inviting them to move their shop to Aeries Winery while the Brummett’s searched for the perfect location. When it comes to promoting Grafton, Illinois, Janey Brummett stands out as one of the town’s greatest fans.

ALTON - The Cookie Factory Express was the scene of a Riverbend Growth Association ribbon cutting on Wednesday Jan. 3 at Alton Square Mall by the post office. The event was meant to showcase long-time entrepreneur Linda McCormick's second business at Alton Square Mall and those that attended received free cookies. The new Cookie Factory Express, which opened on Nov. 20, 2017 is already off to a strong start thanks to the holiday season at Alton Square Mall. Owner McCormick stressed is not a replacement for Cookie Factory Bakery and Cafe, which started in 1978. It is simply an addition and one of convenience for Alton Square Mall shoppers and customers and those in a hurry. McCormick believes Alton Square Mall is on the upswing and that the investment Hull Property Group is making in our community will benefit the river bend area greatly. The products at the new Cookie Factory Express are birthday cookies, delivery and boxed lunches.

Its usage led to the coal tar residue being rememdiated beneath the surface. Ameren Illinois Program Director for Manufactured Gas Plant Remediation Dave Palmer said phase one of that remediation will begin in June and last around eight months. Phase two will also take around eight months, but may run congruent to phase one if all things are successful. Remediation is set to be complete between eight and 16 months.  "It's not a new technology, it's been around for a while in the industry," Palmer said. "It's just the first time Ameren Illinois is using it. If it works well, we'll use it in other places." Palmer said the technology is being utilized in Alton, because the site is in a tricky location. Highways and high-traffic roads are in the vicinity of the location, as well as many as three local businesses and a sewer system built in the 1800s. Ameren Illinois's usual method of excavation extraction is not available with those obstacles. "If it was in the middle of a grassy field, we'd be looking at an entirely different scope," Palmer said.  Ameren Illinois is under no obligation to do this remediation, and in previous interviews has told Riverbender.com it is an effort to prevent a future potential problem by being proactive. They are working on similar projects in East St. Louis and Downtown Belleville.  Once finished, Palmer said the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency will ensure the chemical compounds are in small enough amounts for the site's continued usage as a zoned industrial and commercial location.

UMV Board of Directors recommended Executive Management contact OSF Saint Anthony regarding a partnership.  Martinez met with Ajay Pathak, President and CEO of OSF Saint Anthony Health Center. The two found they held commonalities in thought around expansion and improvement of health and wellness for those they serve. “Over the last two years, we’ve focused on how to take health care in a different direction, transforming health care and making it more impactful here in the river bend.”, said Pathak.  “Our thought was to bring health care out to our community, where its members live and reside, where they recreate, where they work, closer to where their kids go to schools, where they come together.” He described the partnership between OSF and UMV as another step in the process of giving access to health care by making it convenient, coordinated and easy for the residents at United Methodist Village to come together and utilize. Pathak thanked Steve Schwartz, Board Chair of the United Methodist Board of Directors for his specific leadership in this program and bringing it together. “We feel it is a partnership that will improve the lives of the greatest asset we have out here, that’s you, our residents that live out here.”, said Schwartz.  He thanked Ajay and Anita and the staffs of both organizations who put a lot of work into making the new clinic a reality.

Mayor went on to thank members of the community who took time to assist City employees in protecting Grafton from being overwhelmed by water. Eventually the Mayor told of his getting a call in late May by a producer from CNBC and said that they were doing a documentary and ask if they could come to Grafton and talk to him and other residents who had experienced the flood of 1993.  Mayor Eberlin said that if they come he’d try to carve out some time for them. Once in town, the Mayor took a crew of 6 or 7 members from CNBC out in a boat to tour the city.  At the end of the tour, Marcus Lemonis introduced himself and, in the words of the Mayor, had a very heart –felt conversation that included a lot of emotion.  At the end of their talk he said Lemonis said “Mayor I love this town, I want to help this town.”  Marcus Lemonis is famous as the multimillionaire businessman and star of CNBC's reality television show, The Profit, in which he tries to save struggling small businesses across the country.

There was so much to see as families walked the decorated downtown streets, stopping off at all the different activities. Many of the businesses in downtown Jerseyville got in on the fun too, not just with decorating their storefronts but hosting some of the activities inside their stores. Cookies, hot chocolate, and coffee were offered in a few store locations. Others opened their doors for crafts or even to host the North Pole Post Office, giving kids a chance to get their letters out to Santa. For adults, live music included Isaiah Christian & the Rebel Saints, Carl & Jay Acoustic Styling, Flatliner, and Music of District 100. One of the most packed parts of the festivities was the Exhibition Tent, featuring an additional stage where choirs and other talents performed. The tent hosted many booths selling an array of wares. The tent was filled with warm heaters, making it the go-to spot for attendees to shop and get warm before heading back out into the cold and fog. Jerseyville’s Historic Cheney Mansion was also open for tours during the day. Food trucks were also set up along with popcorn for sale and lots of fried treats. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/3739.mp4 2020-01-27T18:39:00-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/hillsboro-at-eawr-girls-basketball-12820-video-3740.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/3740.jpg Hillsboro at EAWR Girls Basketball 1-28-20 The Hilltoppers travel to Wood River to take on the Oilers. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/3740.mp4 2020-01-28T15:58:00-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/marquette-goes-bald-to-battle-cancer-video-3741.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/3741.jpg Marquette Goes Bald to Battle Cancer Marquette Catholic High School held its annual St. Baldrick's event which featured students raising funds to shave their heads in the name of cancer research. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/3741.mp4 2020-01-31T20:15:00-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/murray-the-groundhog-makes-river-bend-winter-prediction-video-3742.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/3742.jpg Murray the Groundhog Makes Riverbend Winter Prediction Curious to see what the next six weeks of the winter will entail, residents of the Riverbend gathered at the Alton Visitor's Center to see if Murray the Groundhog would see his shadow.

In this excerpt, we discover the beginnings of The Dominant Ninth Choral Society. Mrs. Charles B. (Cora) Rohland was founder and director of the Dominant Ninth Choral Society, which won national recognition under her guidance.  As a teacher, she left her impression on many students who continued in the field of music.  At the time of her death, the music section of the Hayner Memorial Library was largely made up of choice and useful books carefully selected by her.  Cora D.

The mayor, Tom Stalcup, expressed disappointment and clarified that some of the opposition involved "threats and personal attacks" towards the developers. Despite this setback, he hopes that the situation won't affect the town's reputation as a business and development friendly municipality.

Pastor Matt joins by phone to discuss friendship, connection and the example of Jesus before offering a prayer for the program and its listeners. Brian also talks about his own Christian faith, baptism and desire to make spiritual questions approachable without pretending to have every answer. Later, longtime friend Freddie Hausman shares how they met through church softball and discusses recovery, forgiveness, prayer and seeking God’s help. Their conversation explores addiction, financial hardship and what it means to place difficult circumstances in God’s hands. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/7133.mp4 2024-06-06T15:23:00-05:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/our-daily-show-blog-talk-with-sydney-caffeine-and-concerts--video-7134.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/7134.jpg Our Daily Show!

Mr. Lipsker from the Greater Alton Community Development Corp spoke in support of a proposal to address homelessness using ARPA funds. The proposal includes hiring an executive director and expanding outreach and development projects, such as low-income housing and overnight warming locations. A discussion ensued about the community's involvement and the need for an executive director to secure grants and additional funding. Jackie Monroe, speaking as a private citizen, opposed establishing a homeless shelter in Alton. She cited recent incidents of crime and disturbances, urging the council to use police power to investigate why non-residents are being attracted to Alton. Mike Drake spoke against the Salvation Army's Hope House project, proposed for the 1000 block of Oakwood. He argued that it would negatively impact local businesses and residents and urged the council to reject the plan. Various resolutions were discussed, including authorizing the execution of permits, paying bills, installing decorative bridge lighting, and designating honorary street signs. A significant discussion was held on amending the city code to expand acceptable residency areas and the due process procedure for employee termination. The council debated whether the mayor or the HR director should have the authority to enforce residency requirements. The meeting concluded with approving resolutions for demolition projects, adopting a policy for decorative bridge lighting, and disbursing ARPA funds for priority projects. The council also discussed a letter soliciting donations for the Killian project, clarifying that postage costs were covered by the Killian fund. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/7146.mp4 2024-06-10T19:03:38-05:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/our-daily-show-ft-wood-river-main-street-riverbend-patriots-and-more--video-7147.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/7147.jpg Our Daily Show!

He reflects on the demands of the automotive industry, the toll an unbalanced career can take and the value of supportive people and daily accountability. Marburger also explains why he views a relationship with Jesus as the foundation for life and redefines success through five areas: spirituality, relationships, parenting or mentorship, health and finances. The conversation covers gratitude, prayer, routines, forgiveness and learning to set pride and ego aside. The episode includes a discussion of Ephesians 6:10–11 and the meaning of putting on the full armor of God. Brian and Marburger emphasize that faith is about relationship rather than perfection, while encouraging honest reflection during seasons of struggle and change. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/7197.mp4 2024-06-20T15:23:00-05:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/our-daily-show-blog-talk-with-sydney-floating-away-video-7198.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/7198.jpg Our Daily Show!

Mike Drake discussed planning commission recommendations, focusing on a text amendment and a special use permit for the Salvation Army's Hope House. He urged the council to vote down the positive recommendation for the text amendment and approve the negative recommendation for the special use permit. The council moved on to audit accounts, with a discussion on the use of ARPA funds, confirming that $78,592.87 allocated for road improvements was permissible under the General Government Services amendment. A resolution to amend the city code to expand the acceptable area for residency for city employees was laid over for further discussion, pending clarification of recent changes. The council approved a resolution to honor Reverend Thomas Wright with a street sign at the corner of 5th Street and Marquette, and declared certain city-owned property as surplus for sale, including a 2001 Grand Mare chipper and various commercial mowers and bucket trucks. A resolution was passed to place 'No Parking' signs on Golf Road to prevent semi-truck parking issues. The council discussed an ordinance to establish a process for evaluating brick streets uncovered during road maintenance, allowing for consideration of preserving historical brick streets in good condition. Additional topics included the status of the new Holiday Inn, union labor concerns at the ultra development site, increased dumping issues, and the completion of beautification projects. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, noting the opening of My Just Desserts under new ownership as a positive development for the city. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/7209.mp4 2024-06-24T18:00:00-05:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/our-daily-show-christina-boyer-centerstones--act-program-video-7211.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/7211.jpg Our Daily Show!

He detailed how each trash truck represents about 1,300 customers and highlighted the issues with the netting on these trucks, which often fails and causes litter on the roads. The cleanup efforts by Madison County cost taxpayers about $40 a bag, totaling $250,000 appropriated in 2023 and $100,000 in the past year. Rusty discussed his personal cleanup efforts under the Illinois Adopt Highway Program, where he has collected about 280 bags of trash over 60 weeks. Pastor Jim Landry expressed support for the city manager, mayor, and city council members and raised concerns about the TIF process and the slow progress of redevelopment projects in downtown Wood River. He emphasized the need for more accountability among landlords and better maintenance of properties. He also highlighted the importance of parks and the need for attractive playground equipment to attract families to the area. Stephanie Schley shared her frustration about a recent accident on Eaton where her husband's truck was hit for the second time in three years. She advocated for more stop signs and a reduced speed limit on Eaton and Whitewall, emphasizing the safety of residents and the high traffic on these streets. The council approved several sponsorship agreements for the Wood River Recreation Center, including with State Farm Insurance Agent Mike Vanistock, Shelter Insurance Agent Mark Smith, Wood River Donut and More, Franchise Sports Bar and Grill, and Attic Treasures Resale Shop. Additionally, the council approved requests to seek bids for sealing city-owned parking lots, concrete sidewalks at various locations, and hydro-excavating.

All members, including McAfee, Strabel, Brown, Meehan, Elliott, Jan, and Allen, were present, with no absentees. The meeting commenced with a public forum addressing city business, where it was motioned to give each speaker five minutes to address the council. There were two speakers scheduled, and a motion was made to suspend the rules to allow more time and conversation with the speakers. Rob Holmke from Alt Marina was the first speaker. He presented the current state of the marina, highlighting that many components were reaching the end of their reliable service spans. Despite recent city-funded projects, such as replacing the main backflow apparatus, ADA-approved pedestrian entrance floats, water heaters, and dredging the harbor, significant issues remained. Holmke emphasized the need for replacing the exposed wood decking, which had rapidly deteriorated, causing safety hazards. He proposed using concrete decking as a solution, citing its durability, low maintenance, and safety advantages. Holmke's presentation detailed the financial aspects and benefits of concrete over wood or composite decking. He urged the council for a positive recommendation on the resolution to replace the marina's decking with concrete. Council members engaged in a detailed discussion, asking questions about funding, maintenance, and future capital projects. The marina's funding sources, such as slip fees and the city's role in covering larger capital expenditures, were also discussed. Greg Brown also spoke, supporting Holmke's points and emphasizing the importance of the marina as a city asset. He highlighted the economic and community benefits of maintaining the marina, including its role in hosting events and attracting visitors. Brown assured the council of the feasibility and long-term benefits of the proposed concrete decking. The meeting proceeded with the approval of various resolutions and motions, including the authorization of demolition proceedings, acce https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/7264.mp4 2024-07-08T19:53:44-05:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/national-eucharistic-pilgrimage--video-7265.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/7265.jpg National Eucharistic Pilgrimage Dozens of community members joined the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage from Ss.

The market also offers baked goods, coffee, gourmet chocolates, cooking dips, mixes, and spices, kettle corn, small-batch jams, jellies, and pickles, as well as non-food items like art from regional artists, leather goods, hand-made baskets, skin-care and hair-care products, soaps, dishware, children’s items, wood furniture, hand-woven rugs and wool, jewelry, and more! Besides vendors, expect live music daily at the market, live demonstrations of different arts and crafts, gardening tips, and more- the market runs rain or shine and only cancels in extremely inclement weather.

The story of Alton Sportsman’s Park and the years of baseball played there will be told by three people. Archibald Daniels was an umpire who lent his services to games played between “the Fats and the Leans.” A.J. (Doc) Bushong, a catcher for the world champion St. Louis Browns, played a game against an Alton team at Sportsman’s Park in August 1886. The Browns won the World Series two months later. Bill Gatewood was the first pitcher to throw a no-hitter in the Negro National League. Gatewood pitched for the St. Louis Giants, who played in Sportsman’s Park against the Cuban Stars baseball club of Havana Cuba in 1916.   Archibald Daniels – Portrayed by Jeff Pruett A.J.

Harrison explains how worship and daily spiritual practices help him remain grounded when circumstances do not yet reflect the promises he believes he has received. The discussion also covers community life in downtown Alton and Harrison’s school board candidacy. He shares his desire to support students, teachers and families by addressing barriers connected to truancy, expulsions, transportation and access to community resources.

In this Halloween Eve episode of Conspiracies with Brian Trust, they separate historical questions from modern customs while acknowledging that not every claim is settled. The conversation considers Christian perspectives on Halloween, including whether churches should hold trunk-or-treat events and how parents can discuss frightening or darker themes with children. Brian and Troy also debate elaborate horror decorations, Halloween’s commercialization and whether traditions can take on new meanings over time. Along the way, Brian reflects on a conversation with a woman sharing her faith publicly in the Alton and Bethalto area and on community Halloween events in the Riverbend. Personal stories and humor accompany a broader discussion about faith, folklore, parental responsibility and respecting differing views. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/9274.mp4 2025-10-30T21:24:39-05:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/alton-halloween-parade-2025-video-9275.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/9275.jpg Alton Halloween Parade 2025 The most haunted small town in American will continue one of the longest running halloween parades in the nation as ghost and ghouls once again fill the streets of Alton. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/9275.mp4 2025-10-31T11:28:48-05:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/our-daily-show-interview-isra-madison-county-grassroots-meeting-at-piasa-armory-115-video-9278.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/9278.jpg Our Daily Show Interview!

Following the Alton City Council’s vote on late-night liquor licenses, this body cam footage offers a look back at what downtown Alton was like after 1:00 A.M. before the earlier closing time went into effect. Our officers were out in force-addressing disturbances, citing violators, and making arrests when needed-to keep the area safe. Since the 1:00 A.M. closing rule was implemented, the difference has been clear. Downtown Alton is now calmer, safer, and more enjoyable for everyone. This footage serves as a reminder of how much progress has been made toward creating a better late-night environment in our community. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/9325.mp4 2025-11-12T10:40:00-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/our-daily-show-with-cj-ft-alton-elite-jiu-jitsu-lacy-ministries-unlimited-and-more-video-9326.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/9326.jpg Our Daily Show!

They also consider what traveling through time would mean personally, including the chance to revisit family, resolve regrets or recover missed moments. This episode of Conspiracies with Brian Trust moves from established scientific concepts into speculation involving Nikola Tesla, alleged hidden technology, prophecy, remote viewing, ghosts and UFOs. The conversation also examines claims surrounding Tesla’s papers, Donald Trump’s family and the alleged Nazi device known as Die Glocke. Other topics include supposed images of modern devices appearing in historical scenes, the 1942 Battle of Los Angeles and theories that UFOs could be future humans or multidimensional phenomena. Brian and Troy distinguish these mysteries and conspiracy claims from the more limited forms of time travel supported by relativity. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/9361.mp4 2025-11-20T21:24:25-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/roasterz-coffee-celebrates-ribbon-cutting-ceremony-in-wood-river-video-9362.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/9362.jpg Roasterz Coffee Celebrates Ribbon Cutting Ceremony in Wood River Wood River's newest coffee shop is off to a great start in Wood River.

Caitlin reflects on losing her father and facing the holidays without him, while the group considers why shared moments can matter more than material gifts. The discussion also addresses mental health, communication and the need to care for yourself before helping others. Dwayne shares lessons from addiction recovery, prison, sober-living work and rebuilding his life through faith after giving so much of himself that he had little left in a personal crisis. Brian and his guests emphasize gratitude, compassion, community support and the belief that love is more constructive than violence. They also speak about learning from the past, asking for help and relying on faith while continuing to work toward healthier relationships and choices. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/9461.mp4 2025-12-18T15:25:37-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/conspiracy-and-mysteries-with-brain-trust-video-9462.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/9462.jpg The Origins of Christmas: Pagan Traditions, Faith and Modern Celebrations Brian and Troy examine claims about the origins of Christmas and ask whether learning the history behind the holiday should affect how families celebrate it today. On Conspiracies with Brian Trust, they also discuss why the season can bring both joy and grief, especially for people facing financial strain or the loss of loved ones. The conversation explores proposed connections between December 25, winter solstice observances, Saturnalia and ancient sun worship. Brian and Troy consider stories involving Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz, interpretations of Jeremiah 10 concerning decorated trees, and arguments that Christian traditions absorbed customs from older cultures. They also weigh faith, commercialization and historical inquiry against the value of family traditions and childhood wonder. The episode presents disputed historical and religious claims as topics for discussion rather than settled conclusions. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/9462.mp4 2025-12-18T21:23:24-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/the-bridge-christmas-service-video-9463.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/9463.jpg The Bridge Christmas Service Join us tomorrow night at 6:00 pm at The Bridge for our annual Christmas Candlelight service. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/9463.mp4 2025-12-21T12:05:39-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/deliverance-temple-in-alton-video-9464.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/9464.jpg Deliverance Temple in Alton Join us Sundays at 10am https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/9464.mp4 2025-12-21T12:11:18-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/the-bridge-christmas-service-video-9465.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/9465.jpg The Bridge Christmas Service Join us tomorrow night at 6:00 pm at The Bridge for our annual Christmas Candlelight service. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/9465.mp4 2025-12-21T19:31:40-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/our-daily-show-ft-associated-physicians-group-keith-short-and-more-video-9466.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/9466.jpg Our Daily Show!

Scoggins explains why he continues to thank God publicly even while facing uncertainty and reflects on the people who helped shape his relationship with Jesus. The discussion explores mental and emotional struggles, regret, separation and Scoggins’ efforts to remain connected with his children and family. He and Brian also talk about prayer, online faith communities, kindness and the impact of checking in on someone who may be having a difficult day. With connections to Jerseyville, North Alton Baptist Church and local community ministries, the episode emphasizes honest conversation, “faith over fear” and the belief that no one has to face hardship alone. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/9584.mp4 2026-01-29T15:24:36-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/conspiracy-and-mysteries-with-brain-trust-video-9585.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/9585.jpg Jeffrey Epstein Records, Whistleblowers and Unresolved Questions with Troy and MJ Brian, Troy and MJ examine the continuing demand for answers about Jeffrey Epstein, focusing on survivor testimony, whistleblowers and questions surrounding withheld or heavily redacted records. The discussion considers the risks faced by people who speak publicly and the frustration created when prominent cases remain unresolved. This episode of Conspiracies with Brian Trust also reviews Epstein’s financial background, influential social connections, the handling of his 2008 case and allegations that surveillance or blackmail played a role in a broader network. The hosts discuss Virginia Giuffre, Maria Farmer, Ghislaine Maxwell and other public figures associated with reporting or records related to Epstein. The conversation includes the hosts’ opinions and speculation about intelligence ties, political influence and possible connections to other cases. These claims are presented as discussion rather than established findings, and association with Epstein does not by itself establish criminal conduct. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/9585.mp4 2026-01-29T21:30:17-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/our-daily-show-interview-talking-trash-with-rusty-wheat-video-9586.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/9586.jpg Our Daily Show Interview!

She and Brian discuss surrender, gratitude and the personal sense of clarity and peace they find through faith. The conversation also explores Lisa Marie’s decision to “love God out loud,” take small steps of obedience and approach church and everyday life with a “come as you are” mindset. She reflects on dreaming bigger about legacy, developing a servant’s heart and supporting others through community efforts in Grafton and Jerseyville.

The guests weigh arguments for enforcing immigration law against concerns about detention, due process, treatment of people without criminal convictions, family separation and operations discussed in Minneapolis and Chicago. They also consider how U.S. practices compare with immigration enforcement in Canada and Europe. Conspiracies with Brian Trust also explores how news coverage, social media algorithms and AI-generated content can produce sharply different narratives about the same events, emphasizing the need to distinguish verified information from opinion and speculation. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/9624.mp4 2026-02-05T21:22:06-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/our-daily-show-interview-bricks-for-water-set-for-214--video-9625.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/9625.jpg Our Daily Show Interview!

At 9:20 AM , Dr. Chris Green joins us for an in-depth discussion on Heart Health After 50 — what changes and what actually matters . We’ll break down why heart risk increases even for people who have always felt healthy, how blood vessels naturally stiffen with age, and why inflammation plays a larger role than most realize. Dr. Green will explain which warning signs often get overlooked — including fatigue, shortness of breath, sleep issues, and subtle changes in energy levels — and which numbers truly matter, from blood pressure trends to cholesterol patterns and blood sugar levels. We’ll also talk about what actually works when it comes to prevention: consistent movement, strength training, quality sleep, stress management, and early detection. It’s a conversation centered on proactive, steady care — not panic — and why small, sustainable habits make the biggest long-term difference. At 10:35 AM , it’s Blog Talk with Sydney as Sydney Sinks joins us to discuss her latest Riverbender.com piece.

The conversation revisits Aaron’s earlier testimony about addiction, recovery and finding faith. Brittany also shares her own experience with addiction, the importance of getting back up after a relapse and the support she has found through prayer, church communities and tent revivals. Brian and Brittany explore gratitude, surrender, church hurt and the value of finding a welcoming Christian community. Their discussion emphasizes honest prayer, personal change and offering hope to people who feel alone in difficult seasons. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/9650.mp4 2026-02-12T15:24:28-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/conspiracy-and-mysteries-with-brain-trust-video-9651.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/9651.jpg Reincarnation, Past-Life Memories and the Mystery of Consciousness Brian and Troy explore reincarnation through religious teachings, reported past-life memories and questions about whether consciousness can continue after death. On Conspiracies with Brian Trust, they compare ideas from Hinduism and Buddhism with Christian and other Abrahamic perspectives on life, judgment and rebirth. The conversation examines reported cases involving young children, including James Leininger’s memories of a World War II pilot and accounts connecting unusual birthmarks, specific locations and violent deaths to alleged previous lives. The hosts discuss why many such stories emerge in early childhood and acknowledge the skepticism surrounding them. They also consider theories that place consciousness before the material world, along with deja vu, old souls, spiritual continuity, grief and the hope of seeing loved ones again. The episode blends reported case studies with personal beliefs and broader philosophical reflections rather than presenting reincarnation as settled fact. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/9651.mp4 2026-02-12T21:23:42-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/belleville-east-lancers-at-alton-redbirds-girls-basketball--video-9652.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/9652.jpg Belleville East Lancers at Alton Redbirds Girls Basketball The Lancers and Redbirds take the court in Alton. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/9652.mp4 2026-02-12T22:07:52-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/our-daily-show-interview-precision-point-armory-a-detailed-look-at-classes-offered-video-9653.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/9653.jpg Our Daily Show Interview!

On You’re Beautiful with Brian Trust, he explains that his mission is to reach even one person for Christ and reflects on how a relationship with Jesus changed his life. Lonnie shares his experience with PTSD, anxiety and depression after returning from Iraq, as well as the story behind Pig Pen to Grace Ministries. The discussion also covers studying Scripture, serving others, giving and tithing, and using clothing or other forms of “silent representation” to begin conversations about faith. Brian, Brittany and Lonnie also consider how churches can welcome people from different backgrounds without losing sight of their beliefs. Throughout the conversation, they emphasize grace, love, personal transformation and meeting people in their struggles rather than judging them. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/9743.mp4 2026-03-05T15:25:30-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/conspiracy-and-mysteries-with-brain-trust-video-9744.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/9744.jpg Brian Trust and Troy on Epstein, Justice, AI, CRISPR and Bio-Convergence Brian Trust and Troy examine public distrust, unequal accountability and the rapid growth of emerging technology in this unscripted episode of Conspiracies with Brian Trust. Their opinion-driven discussion asks why wealthy and powerful people appear to face different consequences within the justice system and how media narratives can shape assumptions about guilt. The conversation revisits earlier episodes about Hollywood desensitization and Eyes Wide Shut before turning to claims and unanswered questions surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and his connections. The hosts present these subjects as speculation and debate rather than established conclusions. Later, they discuss CRISPR gene editing, AI, automation, the dead internet theory, Neuralink and bio-convergence. They weigh potential medical and practical benefits against concerns about job losses, privacy, human augmentation, convenience and control. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/9744.mp4 2026-03-05T21:23:42-06:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/our-daily-show-with-cj-nasello-ft-vitality-elite-ft-and-more-video-9745.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/9745.jpg Our Daily Show!

If you've been involved in an accident, people always ask me, "What should I do?" First, and most importantly, seek medical treatment. Go to the hospital or contact your doctor and schedule an appointment. Many people are injured far more seriously than they realize after an accident. Sometimes they're embarrassed or think they'll be fine, so they don't go to the doctor—but that's a mistake. Second, don't speak with the insurance company if they contact you. Remember, they work for the insurance company, not for you. Their job is to protect their interests, not yours. Third, I know it's difficult these days—my kids do it too—but stay off social media. Don't post anything about the accident or your activities. Anything you post can be used against you during your case, and you don't want to help the other side. Finally, contact us. We'd be happy to represent you. We'll help get your vehicle repaired, work to get your medical bills taken care of, and fight to get you the compensation you deserve. That's what we do. At the end of the day, it's about you. https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/video/10274.mp4 2026-08-03T13:08:00-05:00 https://www.riverbender.com/video/details/wood-river-city-council-meeting-video-10275.cfm https://s3.amazonaws.com/riverbender/videoThumbs/10275.jpg Wood River City Council Meeting The Wood River City Council meets on the first and third Mondays of the month.
