Idyllwild, Calif. (KESQ) – A therapeutic sanctuary in Idyllwild is working to recover after being severely damaged by a powerful flash flood that tore through the area last week, leaving behind a trail of destruction.
The sudden surge of water inundated the neighborhood, sending torrents of mud and debris through roadways and properties. One of the hardest-hit locations was a local healing space, known as A Human Sanctuary.
Sascha Breuer, who helps run the sanctuary, described the terrifying moments when the floodwaters arrived.
“We have flood gates that we just put in and I opened both, and within seven minutes the whole back of this started piling up with water. We’re talking at this point it was just below my chest… There was a lot of swearing and me rushing forward and backwards. There wasn’t really time to freak out — just frantically unlodging everything.”
Sascha Breuer, Idyllwild Resident
Julie Anne Steiger, who also runs the sanctuary, said the timing couldn’t have been worse. The site had just completed major upgrades, including new fencing and walkways.
“This month we were supposed to launch workshops on the land here. A lot of the spaces that I had curated… were a part of what was swept away. A lot of the materials I had put out internationally and with my heart and a lot prayer are now three feet under soil.”
Julie Anne Steiger, Idyllwild Resident
While the initial mess has largely been cleared, Breuer says the real work is just beginning. In addition to rebuilding the sanctuary grounds, they’re also working on preventive measures to protect against future flooding.
“Clean up — which is the most immediate part, but we also have to build a flood barrier.”
Sascha Breuer, Idyllwild Resident
Despite the loss, the community’s support has been overwhelming. Giving those behind the sanctuary hope that their work will not only continue — but grow stronger.
A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to help with recovery and rebuilding efforts. For more information or to donate, click here.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — The St. Joseph Fire Department has been awarded $1,000 from the Missouri American Water Company.
With this funding, SJFD said it will purchase a new supply hose. Assistant Fire Chief Jamey McVicker said that Missouri American Water has been fantastic and has helped SJFD for several years.
“That thousand-dollar grant will go towards replacing some of the hose that is either broken, in disrepair, or is just aged,” he said.
SJFD plans to replace one of its smaller hoses, which is primarily used for house fires.
McVicker said SJFD appreciates the support of the community.
“We have been blessed with the support of this community through grants from different businesses, and we are so very thankful for that,” he said.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — A local senior living community opened its doors to the public Tuesday to showcase its new renovations.
Benedictine Living Community, located at 1202 Heartland Road, hosted an open house event from 1:30 to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23, in St. Joseph.
The senior care facility recently remodeled their assisted and independent living apartments and gathering spaces, such as the dining hall, with minimal impacts to the facility’s daily functions.
The apartments were renovated with new paint and finishes to enhance resident comfort.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — The St. Joseph School District recently took part in the Beginning Teacher’s Assistance Program, also known as BTAP, at Lafayette High School.
The training was led by Darbie Valenti-Huff and was all about helping new teachers get their careers off to a strong start — offering professional development, mentorship and a chance to build connections with other educators.
This program is part of the Missouri Teacher Development System, or MTDS — a statewide effort to give educators continuous opportunities to grow.
“We are able to bring our mentors as extra support, so then when we come back to the school and we want to implement things, we have someone who was there as a veteran,” first-year teacher Arianna Davis said.
Davis said the training is required for all first-year teachers so they can learn how to recognize students’ needs in the classroom — and put that knowledge into practice during lessons.
The goal of the training is to boost teachers’ confidence and encourage collaboration that helps build stronger relationships between students and educators in the classroom.
“Of course, we don’t know everything that’s going on at home, but just being familiar with the signs for each of those things helps us understand our students more,” Davis said.
Davis said she plans to use some of the techniques from the training to better capture her students’ attention.
“Being able to take the nontraditional aspects and learning and bringing that to the classroom to help them transition into middle school, I think, is extremely important,” Davis said.
She said her goal after completing the BTAP program is to grow as a teacher for her sixth graders, so she can serve them better and connect with them on a deeper level.

On Monday, Versailles police said in a news release that they found an unconscious woman with a head wound when they responded to a shooting at about 7:30 a.m. in the 100 block of South Burke Street.
A witness said Yeager had been sitting in her vehicle with the door open when a gunshot rang out, the statement says. The suspect then ran south on Burke Street.
Investigators found surveillance footage that linked Anselmo’s vehicle to the scene, the statement says. Yeager had sought a protection order against Anselmo, her former romantic partner, and was in a civil suit against him, police say.
Prosecutor Dustin G. Dunklee stated in a release that the suspect was arrested in Miller County at about 6 p.m. on Monday.
Dunklee said his office and the Versailles Police Department will not release any further details.
Anselmo was in the Morgan County Jail on Tuesday afternoon. Dunklee recommended he remain jailed without bond.
