An award for heroism goes to Cpl. Justin Trinidad.
Each year, Creve Coeur-based Monsanto holds an Global Safety Award ceremony to highlight acts of heroism and ethical behavior at its properties around the world to and remind employees about the importance of safety. One of this year's examples is a story fit for a TV show. Javiaer Franco works for Monsanto in South Africa, and was on a canoe trip on the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe with his wife Patricia and their children in March 2010. Cpl. Justin Trinidad was working as a security guard at the U.S. Embassy in Harare at the time, and he and his girlfriend Kaylynn Hankey were on the same safari trip as the Francos. As the group paddled up the river, a guide warned that a hippo was in the water and that they needed to exit the river. Most …

Ben Lueken wanted to honor his late mother, a former Marine, and face a bigger challenge than football.
Three years ago left tackle Bernard “Ben” Lueken was the most highly recruited football player at Chaminade College Preparatory School. At 6 feet 5 inches tall and 320 pounds, Lueken had coaches from the University of Missouri, Iowa, Iowa State University, Michigan, Nebraska and Kansas State visiting the high school's campus in Creve Coeur. But it was Mark Mangino, then the head coach at Kansas, who made four visits during Lueken’s junior and senior years and got him to commit to KU. Lueken's performance as a true freshman at Kansas was promising, playing in nine games during the 2008 season. But in April 2009, he suffered injuries off the field which left him something of a question mark going into the fall 2009 campaign, and he left…

Creve Coeur man honored for his work collecting toys and donations for needy children.
In the news business, its not uncommon for sources to ask for anonymity. In general, granting that priviledge is determined on a case-by-case decision. Such was the case last month when one of our reporters wanted to profile an amazing display of holiday lights in Creve Coeur. The display also serves as a collection point for toys and financial donations to the Toys For Tots program and other charities. The homeowner didn't want to cause a neighborhood traffic bottleneck, so we went ahead and granted the request, which allowed us to tell this story. That anonymity was short-lived, as the city of Creve Coeur last month named Bruce Koenemann the 2010 Citizen of the Year for his efforts. Koenemann, the CEO of United Construction in St. Louis…
