Back To School, A New Coach, Fresh Market & Trash Haulers
Here's a look at some of what's making news this week in Creve Coeur.
- The newest school campus in Creve Coeur this school year is actually a refurbished old one. Families attending Ladue's Fifth Grade Center, at the former Westminster Christian Academ campus on Ladue Road, are invited to a school social Monday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. The first day of class there is Wednesday.
- Back to School is also the fall sports season, with practices starting bright and early Monday morning. Student-athletes need to have their physicals and paperwork done before they can practice. Among those we're following this season--the Chaminade Red Devils, as Antoine Torrey begins a new era as the new head football coach. The team will have an intra-squad scrimmage Friday night, with gates opening at 5:30 p.m.
- Friends and family will have a chance to remember the late Creve Coeur and Olivette City Administrator Mike McDowell on Monday. McDowell died suddenly Friday. A funeral service will be held starting at 10:00 a.m. at St. Timothy's Episcopal Church in Creve Coeur.
- Monday's Creve Coeur City Council meeting has plenty of subjects that could have residents talking all week. A work session will discuss a city committee's recommendations for how to put out bids for trash service in Creve Coeur. The existing contract expires next year. The panel is suggesting that residents could start paying for rear-yard trash pickup. That discussion will run from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. followed by the council session. Lawmakers could also decide the fate of a Koman Group request for a zoning change that the developer says is key to bringing the Fresh Market grocer to Creve Coeur.
