Couples Names: Matt and Lisa City: Alton Date met/started dating: November 1, 2018 Date Married: October 10, 2020 What makes your relationship special? We both had been married previously many years ago with ugly breakups. We had both prayed for many years to find the right person to share our lives with and had many bad relationships. I (Lisa) volunteered at Hope Rescues and volunteered with Matt’s son and daughter. His son Chris introduced us and we attended a fundraiser event for Hope.

On January 20, the Post-Dispatch laid off one employee and eliminated two other open positions — but it took another week after that for managers to enact a second set of cuts. Last Friday, January 27, the daily slashed four positions from the paper's prep sports outfit, STLhighschoolsports.com. Along with a staffer who voluntarily left in December and won't be replaced, that means the prep sports team is now down from eight employees to three.

WASHINGTON – In a speech on the Senate floor today, U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, called on the Senate to pass a policing reform bill following the killing of Tyre Nichols by five former Memphis police officers. “Many Americans are struggling with feelings of grief and disbelief after watching the videotapes of Tyre Nichols being beaten to death by a group of Memphis police officers. Mr. Nichols was a 29-year-old father of a young son. He worked the second shift at FedEx with his stepfather. He loved skateboarding and photography – and he loved his mother so much he had her name tattooed on his arm. He had no criminal record. One friend told a reporter that Mr. Nichols was even thinking of becoming a police officer, to try to make the system better from the inside. The videotapes of the deadly assault on Mr. Nichols by Memphis police officers on January 7th are horrific and sickening,” said Durbin.
