By Jeanie [email protected]

ALTON — Like many high school students, Laylhany Davis likes to spend time with her friends, participate in sports and play in her school’s marching band.

Unlike other students her age, she is also a successful community activist.

Organizing and leading several peaceful demon-strations from Edwards-ville to Jerseyville and Grafton over the past couple of months in the effort to end racism and police brutality, the 17-year-old from Alton is getting people’s attention and she doesn’t plan to stop anytime soon.

“I’m not the same per-son I was a year ago,” she said, not long after orga-nizing the demonstration in Jerseyville. “If you look at my (Facebook) pro-file now, it’s all protests

from this year. But, if you looked at it from the same time last year, it’s probably just me being a normal teenager.”

Originally from Colora-do Springs, the soon-to-be high school senior moved to Alton with her family after her dad was mur-dered about 11 years ago. She was 6 years old.

“I think it was kind of like a breaking point,” she said. “My whole life, I’ve seen a lot of violence in mostly black

Action on opioid settlement comes after long period of silenceBy Scott [email protected]

EDWARDSVILLE — Friday’s announcement that Madison County is filing a claim against Purdue Pharma L.P. for opioid crisis damages came after a long silence on the issue in county govern-ment.

Madison County State’s Attorney Tom Gibbons announced his office is filing the claim against to recover some of the cost of the coun-ty’s fight against opioid addiction and large num-bers of overdose deaths over the past decade.

On Saturday, he said some have mischaracter-

ized his action with the lawsuit, noting there was “not unified sup-port” in the county for

joining the suits.“The litigation

has already essen-tially occurred and is over,” he said. “We did not participate in that.”

Instead, Gib-bons said, the

county will file a claim from part of the settle-ment with funds specifi-cally set aside for local governments. The total settlement is between $10 billion and $12 bil-lion, he said, “divvied up in a few different piles.”

“We’re just participat-ing in what is still avail-able to us,” Gibbons

Market dayBy Dylan [email protected]

JERSEYVILLE — Four days after the state entered Phase 4 of Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s Restore Illinois plan, the Jersey County Farmers and Arti-

sans Market launched its annual event — not quite sure how state stipula-tions would change the popular weekly market.

“I’ve been in constant communication since April with both the Illinois Farmers Market

Association and the Jersey County Health Department,” said Whit-ney McIver, Jersey Coun-ty Business Association Special Events Coordina-tor and Farm-ers Market Manager.

“They recommend that everyone attending fol-low some sim-ple guidelines intended to keep both the vendors and participants safe,” she said. “Those guidelines have been sent to vendors and will be posted around the market for customers to see.”

Those guidelines have

not prevented shoppers. On June 30 — when this year’s first market was held — people were showing up 30 minutes before the market opened.

The Jersey County Farm-ers and Arti-sans Market is offered every Tuesday 4-7 p.m. through Sept. 22. The market sets up in the parking lot of Outra-

geous Outdoors at 902 S. State St. in Jerseyville.

Dispute lingers over why airport grille was closedBy Jill [email protected]

BETHALTO — The High Flyers Grille is grounded at the St. Louis Regional Airport, with different views on why.

Bethalto Mayor Alan Winslow said water was shut off to the seven-year-old business on June 15.

Andrew Carruthers, the airport board’s attorney, has said the water disconnection prompted the airport to lock up the space High Flyers had leased from the airport.

Grille co-owner Erin

Ventimiglia said she and her partners — Paul Ventimiglia and Chris Hines — received no notice before the grille was closed.

“We were still pay-ing our High Flyers’ employees to mow, clean and maintain the premises,” Erin Ventimiglia said. “In the days prior to being locked out, we had an employee there prepar-ing for reopening.”

She alleges that, at the conclusion of the airport board’s June 18 meeting, a member instructed airport
