LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – An organization representing 24 north St. Louis County municipalities has announced a new initiative to take on crime on several fronts.Vinita Parks Mayor James McGee says it’s essential to act now.“It’s so important that we got everybody carrying guns, and it’s just the wild, wild west,” he said. “You have open carry, young people—13 (years of age)—carrying automatic weapons with extended clips.”Among the steps they’re working on: gun control legislation to address the issue of kids with guns.

Students at 14 schools went home around lunch time on Tuesday, and 17 principals announced early closures for Wednesday.The high temperature on Tuesday was 96 and the high for Wednesday is expected to reach 94 degrees, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder.

The bond money will also pay for 13 more schools to get air cond...

It was déjà vu all over again for the Rockies on Tuesday night at Tropicana Field.It was a double dose of ugly.And it was a stark reminder that the Rockies remain light years away from becoming a competitive team.The Rockies entered the eighth inning with a 4-3 lead over Tampa Bay. They ended up losing, 12-4, as the Rays pounded Colorado’s bullpen for nine runs on eight hits, a walk and a hit batter.Actually, it should have only been seven hits because Rockies left fielder Nolan Jones misplayed a line drive by Randy Arozarena but the official scorer ruled it a hit and an RBI for Arozarena instead of an error on Jones.Flashback to Sunday afternoon at Coors Field: The White Sox pummeled relievers Matt Koch, Justin Bruihl and Justin Lawrence for seven runs in the eighth en route to a 10-5 win.Tuesday night, lefty reliever Brent Suter, so good this season, gave up five runs on four hits and a walk. He took the mound having given up just two hits over his last seven appearances, bu...
