EDWARDSVILLE While most of the city council’s final meeting of 2020 was routine, Mayor Hal Patton added a new element.
Patton announced the findings of his race relations and equity report and copies were placed on the city’s website for residents to review, discuss, print and share.
He recounted that back in late May, after the death of George Floyd in Minnesota, there were nationwide protests, including about 600 people in downtown Edwardsville.
“As mayor, my first and second thoughts were, ‘We need to keep our officers and our residents safe and we need to protect our downtown’ but this group had a lot to say and they did so peacefully.

EDWARDSVILLE For some, learning from home may be a struggle or just boring without your friends around but for one Cassens Elementary student, as long as he has his Legos, it does not bother him too much.
Josh Hall, son of Kim and Thomas Hall, says he is focused on schoolwork during the unusual school year. Josh believes he is strongest in reading and some more work is needed on his math skills.
“This year, my goal is to practice more math because I want to be better,” he said. “I’m really good at reading because I like to read books. I’m [also] really good at building Legos.”
