Rural Health Inc. Groundbreaking Today in Metropolis

Today at noon, community leaders and residents will gather in Metropolis, IL, for the groundbreaking ceremony of Rural Health Inc.

With a focus on improving overall health outcomes, this project marks a significant milestone for the region.

Scam Warning: Massac County Residents Targeted by Fraudulent Power Company Calls

The Massac County Sheriff’s Office is alerting residents about a recent scam targeting local households. Individuals are reporting receiving phone calls from someone impersonating a representative from Ameren.

During these calls, the scammer claims that the recipient’s power service is at risk of being shut off unless an outstanding balance is paid immediately. Authorities urge residents to be cautious and refrain from providing any personal or account information over the phone.

Legitimate power companies typically reach out through official communications such as mail or email, not via phone for urgent payment requests. If you receive such a call, it is recommended that you hang up and contact your power provider directly to verify your account status.

Stay vigilant and share this warning with friends and family to help prevent potential scams.

MCHS Marching Band Heads to Walt Disney World: Join Them in Celebrating and Supporting

Exciting news for the MCHS Marching Band! They have been selected to perform in a parade at the iconic Walt Disney World this June, marking a significant achievement for the talented group. This opportunity is not just a recognition of their hard work and dedication, but also a chance for them to showcase their skills on a grand stage.

In order to make this dream a reality, the band is actively raising funds to help offset the costs for each student. Your support can make a big difference! This Thursday night, as we cheer on our MCHS Football team at the home game, you can help the band by visiting their concession stand.

The band will be selling raffle tickets for a chance to win half of a processed hog and a chest freezer, alongside a delightful selection of baked goods for purchase. Don’t miss out on the chance to grab some sweet treats while supporting this talented group of musicians.

In addition to the raffle and baked goods, the concession stand will feature delicious BBQ Baked Potatoes, and for those looking to warm up, there will be Hot Chocolate and Hot Cider available while supplies last.

We invite everyone to come out for a fantastic night of football, delicious food, and community spirit. Join us in supporting your MCHS Marching Band and help them reach their goal of performing at Disney World. Let’s make this a night to remember!
