ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. - For a couple that lives off Sontag Road, the site and smell of an unmaintained sewage system have worsened dramatically over the last few months. A situation that's gone on for years, and now the community and a councilman are speaking out about the issue and similar ones in the area.“Right in the middle of a number of homes is this septic system that has failed, so I think it's a perfect storm of a problem," said Councilmen Mark Harder.He became aware of the issue just a few days ago.

Opinion: Reject Neguse’s Protect America’s Rock Climbing Act and protect Wilderness instead

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:27:22 GMT

We humans want the most out of life, so why shouldn’t we push to get more of what we want?That’s what some rock climbers must be thinking. They want to enter designated Wilderness in order to drill permanent anchors into wilderness rock faces, turning these wild places into sport-climbing walls.When the Wilderness Act became law in 1964, it put wildlife and wild lands first, decreeing that these special places should be left alone as much as possible. This unusual approach codified humility, arguing that some wild places, rich in wildlife and natural beauty, needed as much protection as possible.So far, the Act protects less than 3% of what Congress called “untrammeled” public land in the Lower 48. These are unique places free of roads and vehicles and most manmade intrusions that afflict the rest of America.The Wilderness Act also prohibits “installations,” but to get around this, a group called the Access Fund has persuaded friends in Congress to introduce a bill that would, in ef...

More than half of US employers ready to try four-day workweek

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:27:22 GMT

More than half of American employers offer a four-day workweek, or plan to, according to a survey released Tuesday. A poll of 976 business leaders by ResumeBuilder.com, the job-seekers website, found that 20 percent of employers already have a four-day workweek. Another 41 percent said they plan to implement a four-day week, at least on a trial basis. American employers have experimented with a four-day workweek over the decades, typically in times of recession. But the idea has gained traction in recent years.  If a four-day week ever becomes standard, it would mark the biggest change to the national work schedule since the five-day workweek, adopted by automaker Henry Ford in 1926.  We can’t say, however, that the four-day workweek would rank as the most profound change to the American workplace, not even in the last three years. That distinction probably goes to remote work, a movement that exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic and shows no signs of ...

Review: ‘Flash’ starts with much promise before fading to cliche

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:27:22 GMT

By Jocelyn Noveck | Associated Press“It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature,” went a famous ’70s commercial catchphrase. But we learn in “The Flash” — the much awaited, long gestated new DC Studios offering — that it’s Father Time one musn’t cross. Because trying to change the past can really mess you up when you get back to the future and realize you’ve inadvertently changed that, too.But of course, we already knew that. We learned it from Marty McFly, immortalized by Eric Stoltz in “Back to the Future.”Relax! Of course it was Michael J. Fox, though Stoltz was initially cast in the role. But in “The Flash,” Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) realizes just how badly he’s messed up the space-time continuum when he arrives back from changing the past — just one teensy little thing, really — and learns that in his current world, Fox never replaced Stoltz. “I’ve destroyed the universe,” he frets in...
