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

Missouri high school forfeits playoff football game for interesting reason

This season has been one to forget for The Principia School's high school football team (St. Louis, Missouri). Now, the Panthers' 2026 season is over despite still having a playoff game on the schedule. According to a report from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the team forfeited its second-round postseason game against Crystal City (MO). The reason for the forfeit? To address culture issues. “While we’re disappointed with how the season ended, we believe this was a necessary step in moving our program forward,” The Principia School athletic director Shawn Brown told the Post-Dispatch. With the loss, the Panthers finish the season with a 2-7 record. The team gave up 54 or more points five times and 60 or more points four times. In their six on-field losses, the Panthers lost by an average of 29 points. In their two wins, the Panthers did put up a ton of points, scoring 70 against Veritas Christian Academy (MO) and 66 against Confluence Prep Academy (MO). This year is just the latest what's been a trying near-two-decade stretch for the Panthers. Principia School last won more than five games back in 2009. Since that season, the Panthers have compiled an overall record of

Illinois health officials prep to transfer patients from metro-east hospital

Illinois regulators are preparing to potentially transfer patients out of Gateway Regional Medical Center in Granite City and ambulances are being sent to other hospitals. The hospital is still open, but the Illinois Department of Public Health confirmed Gateway and another medical center owned by the same company are on bypass status due to “staffing instability.” St. Louis-based KMOV first reported the development. The operators of the 278-bed safety net hospital have been late paying staff. An IDPH spokesman said that the agency had alerted the state’s labor and employment security departments about unmet payroll at Gateway and at Vista Medical Center in Waukegan, Illinois. Both hospitals are owned by California-based company American Healthcare Systems. “Gateway and Vista are private, for-profit hospitals whose operations and finances are managed by American Healthcare Systems. Their lack of communication, transparency, and responsible financial management and contingency planning is extremely concerning,” the spokesman for the IDPH said in an email. “The Illinois Department of Public Health’s highest immediate priority is the health and safety of the patients and has been working and communicating with hospital administrative leaders in this regard.” Representatives from Gateway Regional Medical Center and American Healthcare Systems did not respond to

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

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...
