Good morning, Saint Joseph.

St. Joseph Animal Shelter shortened lost pet hold times to 5 business days and manager Holly Bowie advises owners to call the shelter immediately with recent photos, microchip details, or current registration information—if contacted during business hours, the hold may be extended to give extra time for reunification.

The Noyes tennis courts in St. Joseph will be closed for resurfacing beginning June 9—crews plan to take about a month to complete work on the courts, restroom building, and lights at the tennis and horseshoe courts.

The Noyes football field and track will stay closed because the school district is renovating them.

Friends of Krug Park will host Park-a-Palooza at Krug Park on June 14 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The free event features a petting zoon, food vendors, a balloon artist — and pony rides for $5 each.

The store is back in operation and ready to serve customers.

A former St. Joseph School District ROTC instructor sued the district claiming discrimination after he was forced to resign when his need for restroom breaks for prostate cancer surgery led to poor ratings.

St. Joseph's Noah Cameron pitched six scoreless innings for the Royals against the Cardinals, becoming the second pitcher (since Fernando Valenzuela in 1981) to allow one run or fewer in each of his first five MLB starts.
