Barking dogs cause feud between animal shelter and Belleville neighbors

The opening of an animal shelter in a former furniture store on Sherman Street in Belleville over the summer has sparked a neighborhood feud that seems to be escalating. Operators of the TNR and Rescue shelter argue that they’re performing an important community service by taking in stray and abandoned dogs and cats and adopting them out to good homes. Neighbors say they can’t sleep, work or live in peace with 25 dogs barking at all hours. “When I’m in bed, I can hear those dogs barking,” said Michelle Orlando, 46, a veterans service officer who lives across the street from the shelter in a small white frame home on Page Avenue. “It’s constant. I have a hot tub and a pool in my backyard, and I can’t even enjoy them.” Orlando said her 12-year-old son is dozing off at school because he isn’t getting enough rest, her 23-year-old daughter held pillows over her ears while home sick with the flu and Orlando had to get a prescription for sleep medication from her doctor. Other neighbors voiced similar concerns to a BND reporter who visited in the early evening on a recent weekday, when a chorus of dogs could be

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

TCU closing in on adding Saint Louis transfer Robbie Avila

TCU is closing in on adding Saint Louis transfer Robbie Avila two weeks into the 2026-27 college basketball season, On3’s Joe Tipton confirms. Avila, the reigning Atlantic-10 Player of the Year, earned a preliminary injunction to play a fifth season from a St. Louis City Circuit Judge last week. This seemingly cleared the way for Avila to once again suit up for the Billikens this season. However, the College Sports Commission stepped in and blocked his route back to Saint Louis, as the program’s roster was already at its 15-player limit. This ended his stint with the program. $39.99 gets you a...
