Jim, 66, Retired as a Chemical Company Executive. Then He Went Back to School and Became a Nurse: "Grateful for the Chance to Do What I'm Doing"

Jim Segbers spent decades as a chemical engineer and retired as an executive vice president. Most people would call that a finished career. He called it a starting point. In April 2025, at 66, Segbers was the oldest of 50 students in the graduating class at Goldfarb School of Nursing in St. Louis, according to First Alert 4 reporter Russell Kinsaul of KMOV. “I feel like I’ve got a little bit left to give,” he told the station. The station reported that Segbers retired from Chemline Inc. in north St. Louis County. He is a father and grandfather, and he and his wife, Mimi, were foster parents to nine children and adopted three of them. As retirement got close, he sat down and asked himself what came next. “What’s on the other side of retirement? I grabbed a pad of paper and I said, ‘Jim what makes you happy?’” he told KMOV. His answer, the station reported, was working toward a goal, solving problems and being meaningfully helpful to others. So instead of filling his days with golf, grandkids and travel, he enrolled in nursing school. He stood out on day one, being as much as 40 years older than

A Missouri high school forfeited its football playoff game over problems with the team’s culture, and it hasn’t said what those problems are

The Principia School in St. Louis forfeited its football playoff game against Crystal City on [date per STLToday], citing problems with the program’s culture rather than injuries or a low number of players. The decision ended the Panthers’ season, and the school has kept the specific nature of those cultural issues private, as reported by STLToday . Principia athletic director Shawn Brown said the decision was made with the future of the program in mind. “While we’re disappointed with how the season ended, we believe this was a necessary step in moving our program forward,” Brown said. Crystal City advanced automatically to the Class 1 District 2 championship game because of the forfeit. It is scheduled to face Louisiana on November 13. Not the usual reason to forfeit a playoff game The Panthers finished the year with a 2-7 record, which includes the forfeit. Their two wins came in high-scoring games against Confluence Prep Academy and Veritas Christian Academy, but the team had a tough time defensively, with on-field discipline also becoming a talking point in high school sports after an Ohio soccer player was sent off by a referee . Principia gave up 54 points or more in five

A University City, Mo., Tow Truck Took 150+ Cars From Driveways and Backyards in 3 Years, No Warrants, a Lawsuit Says

In Missouri, renewing your plates means gathering paperwork first. The state wants a paid personal property tax receipt and, for many vehicles, a safety or emissions inspection certificate no more than 60 days old, according to its plate renewal requirements. St. Louis County cars also have to pass the Gateway emissions program. If any one of those steps fails, the tags lapse, and plenty of owners leave the car in the driveway while they save for the fix.

TCU lands Saint Louis star Robbie Avila amid roster-limit kerfuffle: What it means for the Horned Frogs

TCU is on the verge of landing Saint Louis star Robbie Avila in a bombshell November transfer portal acquisition, per CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein. Avila was granted a fifth year of eligibility thanks to a preliminary injunction last week, but the College Sports Commission blocked Saint Louis from adding the reigning A-10 Player of the Year to the roster because the Billikens already had a full 15-man team. Adding Avila would have violated the roster limits imposed by the injunctive relief settlement in House v. NCAA.
