Kyle Friesenhahn has been placed on unpaid leave from his diving coach position until the case is settled; he also lost a part-time coaching job with Fort Zumwalt high schools.

New searchable database identifies how schools perform on cost, graduation and loan defaults. See how schools such as St. Charles Community College, Lindenwood University and Missouri Tech compare.
President Barack Obama used part of his State of The Union address Feb. 12 to promote the release of an education scorecard, a tool he said "parents and students can use to compare schools based on a simple criteria: where you can get the most bang for your educational buck." The College Scorecard was released the following day. It does not rank schools, like The Princeton Review or U.S. News & World Report. Instead, it provides information about cost, gradaution rate, loan default and median borrowing. In the future, it will also include average earnings for graduates who attended school using federal loan dollars. What does it say about schools in the St. Charles County-area? St. Charles Community College COST The average net cost is $3,…

Debate at Lindenwood University touched on healthcare, Syria, budget cuts.
Missouri's three Republican candidates for U.S. Senate squared off Monday night in what was expected to be a contentious debate at J. Scheidegger Center on the campus of Lindenwood University. The debate came days after St. Louis businessman John Brunner took aim at former Missouri Treasurer Sarah Steelman and U.S. Congressman Todd Akin in an attack ad which criticized Steelman's votes in the state senate in support of bonds and Akin's votes on earmarks. However, the candidates refrained from attacking one another for much of the debate, which was moderated by 97.1's Jamie Allman. The three agreed on many issues ranging from the need to gradually increase the age of eligibility for social security to the need to completely repeal the …

Lindenwood's Sarah Schnieders coming on strong to help to lead team.
ST. CHARLES - Sarah Schnieders looks back on her first year at Lindenwood University in horror. The five-foot-11-inch forward hardly recognizes the girl she was just two short years ago. "A stupid freshman with a terrible attitude," she recalls. "That was me. I can't believe some of the things I did." Thanks to a second chance from a forgiving coach, those child-like misgivings are nothing but a laughable memory. Schnieders, a St. Dominic grad, is averaging 11.1 points and 3.6 rebounds for the Lions, who sport a 3-4 record heading into Tuesday's game at Harris-Stowe State University. With the St. Peters native making a major contribution, the Lindenwood basketball program has done a complete about-face. The Lions, who …

Immanuel Lutheran Church has opened its Connections Café to Lindenwood students. It’s part of the outreach and international relations ministry the vicar and volunteers are building.
Vicar Micah Miller, 36, arrived at Immanuel Lutheran Church in August. Miller is a third-year student at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis and is fulfilling his "vicarage," or field placement requirement at Immanuel. When Miller met with the Rev. Scott Schmieding, senior pastor of Immanuel, he learned that a lot of his time would be developing outreach toLindenwood University students specifically focusing on international students. “As the Vicar, I said ‘Yes, sir!’” Miller said, with a smile and openness of a person ready to serve. Opening the church Connections Café to the students one night a week is one part of this developing outreach. The café is in the atrium of the church, and it is great space. It is attached to the church, not in…
