ALTON – An Alton man accused of leading police on two high-speed chases within days of each other faces multiple felony charges. Joshua J.

2 months ago
COLUMBIA - Grieving community members can join the second annual Emotional Freedom After Loss Retreat. From Nov. 14–16, 2025, at the Toddhall Retreat and Conference Center in Columbia, 15 women will come together for the weekend retreat. You will receive a discount code if you register by Oct. 20, 2025. Teresa Reiniger, who organized the event, is a grief coach who works with people year-round, but she hopes the retreat is a special time for women who need to heal. “We do not, as a society, take time to grieve,” Reiniger said. “This is perfect for that. Step away from everything else and go into a weekend where you’re working on your grief. I say ‘working on your grief’ because grief is work. It is hard to go through. There’s so much that goes along with it.” During the retreat, women will come together for a weekend of nature walks, massages, yoga, breathwork, journaling and pampering. All meals and accommodations are
