One Creve Coeur City Councilwoman said Monday she had to stand up for a defeated city council candidate. Her colleagues said they were "saddened" and "appalled" by references to a recent prayer to remember the Holocaust.
Three weeks after Creve Coeur's new city council was seated following April's elections, allegations concerning dirty campaign tricks boiled back to the surface Monday night when one councilmember invoked the words of an invocation to recognize Holocaust Remembrance Day. Ward 4's Jeanne Rhoades referenced "the price of staying silent," part of an invocation used last month by B'Nai Amoona Rabbi Carnie Shalom Rose. She did so in speaking out about a last minute campaign flier which colored the end of the Ward 1 race between Cynthia Kramer and David Caldwell, won by Kramer. The flier, paid for by an employee of the printing firm Kramer's campaign used, accused Caldwell of being a bully, mirroring an allegation leveled at Caldwell by a …

Ward 3 Councilmembers shared feedback about deer, smoking shelters and other topics.
Ward 3 Creve Coeur City Council Members Charlotte D’Alfonso and Bob Hoffman discussed issues of importance to residents and talked of issues that will affect the city in the near future Tuesday night at a town hall meeting at the Creve Coeur Government Center. The issue of deer in the city was raised by a number of attendees. Hoffman said “there was a lot of passion both ways” on the deer issue, as some residents want the deer removed or killed, some reject killing, and others don’t see them as an issue. Hoffman added that some blame the deer for causing car accidents and the destruction of landscaping while others have sighted hostile deer. D’Alfonso said most of the deer sightings have been concentrated in the city’s third ward, with …

Lawmaker wonders if proposal would undermine purpose of Creve Coeur's existing smoking ban.
Two weeks after city staff prompted discussion of the potential for establishing smoking shelters in Creve Coeur, council members formally debated the language behind an a proposed ordinance Monday night. Ward 1 Councilwoman Beth Kistner suggested amending the ordinance to exclude locations where food and drink is served, saying she could see the shelter creating an opportunity for patrons to create "a de factor outdoor bar." Ward 3 Councilman Robert Hoffman repeated his opposition to all shelters, saying "it's wrong to do this," and that it defeats the purpose of the stepped-up smoking ban which went into effect in January. Lawmakers voted unanimously (D'Alfonso and Saunders absent) to defer the ordinance to the next meeting. …

It's amazing that complainers try to mine message ideal as some sort of personal intellectual property. It's been used in poltical debate and analysis for decades by both parties here and across the world. The claim of "I didn't know" is disingenous. The "wink wink" culture continues to flourish in Creve Coeur for self-selected insiders. And you really want us to sign up for this "For the Love of… more ›
