COLLINSVILLE - The Collinsville Police Department has received a donation of a ballistic vest for its K9 officer, Kingo, from Brady’s K9 Fund, an organization dedicated to supporting police dogs across the United States. Brady’s K9 Fund was established by an 8-year-old boy named Brady, who recognized the need for body armor for K9 officers, similar to that worn by their human partners. Since its inception in 2018, the fund has raised over $1.25 million and provided vests for more than 950 K9s in all 50 states. The organization aims to equip these dogs with essential protective gear, allowing them to perform their duties safely. “The work that K9 officers do is invaluable to our community,” said the Collinsville Police Department in a statement. “We are grateful for the support of Brady’s K9 Fund, which helps ensure that K9 Kingo is well-equipped and protected during his shifts.” Brady’s K9 Fund continues to seek support from th

This staggering figure highlights not only the commercial nature of the holiday but also the deep-seated human desire to express love and affection. But where did this tradition of celebrating romantic love originate, and how has it transformed into the elaborate festivities we see today? The Historical Roots of Valentine’s Day Valentine’s Day has its origins shrouded in mystery, with various theories tracing its beginnings back to ancient Rome.

February 14th is a date often associated with love and romance due to the celebration of Valentine's Day. However, the day has also been marked by pivotal events that have shaped history in various ways. One of the most notable events on February 14 occurred in 1929, known as the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. In Chicago, during the height of Prohibition, seven members of George 'Bugs' Moran's gang were brutally murdered by assailants allegedly hired by rival gangster Al Capone. This shocking event highlighted the violent turf wars that characterized the era of organized crime in the United States. The massacre not only captured the public's attention but also led to increased scrutiny of law enforcement's inability to combat crime effectively, ultimately contributing to the eventual demise of Prohibition. In the realm of sports, February 14, 1989, marked a significant milestone as the first-ever NBA All-Star Game was held in the new Madison Square Garden, New York City. This event
