From the Editor’s Desk
Good morning, Jefferson County! We’re starting the week with school news, development decisions, and a look ahead to some Friday night fun. Today’s edition highlights student achievements and district plans at Northwest, along with Arnold Planning Commission votes involving new businesses and a debated residential rezoning.
Looking ahead to Friday, October 23, families can enjoy the Arnold Chamber’s free Trunk or Treat while helping stock Gateway Food Pantry, and comedy fans can support the STL Veterans Ball at an all-veteran stand-up show in Imperial. You’ll also find the week’s weather outlook, upcoming government meetings, and Winnie—a gentle shelter cat waiting for someone to give her a chance. Thank you for making local news part of your day!
Student successes, facility improvements, enrollment trends, and new bus-tracking technology highlight the school board’s latest meeting.
Planning commissioners back Andy’s Frozen Custard and Century Credit Union plans while rejecting a Lonedell Road rezoning amid traffic and safety concerns.
Arnold’s free October 23 celebration promises more than 40 trunks, two haunted houses, and a food drive benefiting Gateway Food Pantry.
The Last Laugh Comedy Night brings an all-veteran lineup to Imperial on October 23 to benefit the STL Veterans Ball.
Check the forecast, keep up with local government meetings, browse community events, and meet Winnie, our adoptable pet of the week.

I Almost Threw Out My Keurig. It Wasn't Broken.
Every cup from my Keurig started tasting weak, flat, stale — so I unplugged it and stuck it in a closet. Then I learned the dirty secret of grocery store K-Cups: by the time a pod reaches your kitchen, it's usually spent months going from factory to warehouse to truck to shelf. The flavor oils are long gone. Some brands even over-roast to hide it.
The fix wasn't a new machine. It was fresh pods from Angelino's, a family-owned L.A. roastery that roasts, packs, and ships within 3–5 days — straight to your door, from 39¢ a cup. Over 1,000,000 happy customers. 50+ flavors, no subscription required, and 15% off your first order, applied automatically at checkout.

Adoptable Pet of the Week
Hi there, I’m Winnie! I’m about 2 years old and patiently waiting for a home to finally call my own. I can be a little shy in the shelter, which means I sometimes get overlooked—but there’s so much more to me once you give me a moment.
Since moving into the cat playroom, I’ve really started to come out of my shell! I enjoy the company of other cats and have discovered that I quite like soft pets and quiet affection from kind humans. I may not be the loudest or boldest cat in the room, but I promise I have a sweet, gentle heart just waiting for the right person to notice.
Adoption fee: $50 (already spayed). Your fee includes vaccinations, deworming, flea and tick treatment, a microchip, and a wellness exam with the shelter veterinarian.
I can’t wait to see the memories we’ll make together. All I need is someone willing to take a chance on a quiet girl who will love you in her own special way.
