A man accused of breaking into more than a dozen south St. Louis County businesses in August appeared in court Tuesday morning.

Illinois Democratic Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski is criticizing a plan by President Donald Trump to send National Guard troops to Chicago to fight crime. On the latest episode of the Politically Speaking podcast, Budzinski said Trump’s threats to send troops under the guise of fighting crime is a distraction from the president’s woes. “I think that this is a manufactured crisis by this administration, I would argue, perhaps to distract from political issues like Jeffrey Epstein or the fact that he made a commitment also on day one to reduce the costs of groceries, and he's failed to do that,” she said.

SWANSEA — Bill Crispin was found alive in a remote area near Swansea Baptist Church on Saturday, Aug. 30, 2025, following an extensive search involving local authorities, volunteers, and specialized rescue teams. The search effort, which took place in the Swansea area, was coordinated by Missouri Valley Search and Rescue and included more than 70 citizens who volunteered to assist. Crispin was located at the back of a bean and cornfield, reportedly too weak to move further. Crispin was last seen leaving an independent living facility on Aug. 23, 2025, to visit a local store but never returned.

Jeff Parker, mayor of Swansea, expressed gratitude to all involved in the operation. “Without this search guided by Missouri Valley and the citizens who came out, this would not have had this result. Bill was found in a very remote area and too weak to move anymore,”

EDWARDSVILLE - The Edwardsville Community Unit School District #7 recently celebrated the renovation of Lincoln Middle School. On Sunday, Aug. 31, 2025, community members gathered at Lincoln Middle School for a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tour of the school’s new addition. This celebration also marked the building’s 100th anniversary. “Today, we’re excited to once again host the District #7 community as we welcome you to the Lincoln Middle School ribbon-cutting and centennial open house,” said Superintendent Dr. Patrick Shelton. Opened as Edwardsville High School in 1925, the property at 145 West Street in Edwardsville has undergone a recent transformation.
