Charlie Foxman says goodbye to his Creve Coeur studio.
The Midwest Martial Arts Academy typically closes its doors for the last week of the year. But when Charlie Foxman did it Saturday, he did so for the last time, after 26 years in business at the location just east of Interstate 270 on Olive Boulevard in Creve Coeur. Foxman said the decision came within the last six months when the Drury Development Corporation, which owns the shopping center, approached him about a lease extension. Instead, he decided to make a change. "Now is the time I can enjoy what I do," he said by phone last week. That means spending with his grandchildren, volunteering, watching his first full Monday Night Football game in 26 years. But he's quick to say he's not retiring. He calls it "refiring." Foxman will …

Tell us who you think deserves consideration for having had an impact on Creve Coeur in 2012.
We've reached that time of the year where we're in a reflective mood, and we're asking you to help us put 2012 in perspective. It is time to talk about who should be the Creve Coeur Newsmaker of the Year. Ah, but what does that mean? The beauty is, as they say, in the eye of the beholder. You get to help build the team picture, so to speak. Someone who did the most good? Parkway Northeast Middle Schooler Sam Klein could qualify for that. The young man was featured on NBC Nightly News and won a St. Louis Patch contest asking that very question. ALSO: Could it be Creve Coeur Mayor Barry Glantz? He won a Mayor's race that people had been talking about for nearly 2 years as longtime Mayor Harold Dielmann retired following term limits. The city…

Sam Klein's work was profiled in the Sunday "Making A Difference" report.
Sam Klein may be the leader in the clubhouse when it comes to the "What I did over summer vacation" story when class resumes in August at Parkway Northeast Middle School. How many 12 year olds can say they were featured on a network news broadcast? Klein's passion for recycling led to the formation of his own company, resulting in money for charities while at the same time saving space in area landfills. That was enough to get NBC Nightly News interested in the backstory. Here's a link to the report, from NBC's Kevin Tibbles. We'll be checking in with our young philanthropist to see what kind of feedback the report has generated for his cause.

Klein has a passion for recycling and started his own company, Inkcycle Group.

The segments, which highlight people doing good things in their communities, typically air toward the end of the newscasts, starting at 5:30 p.m. Keep in mind that "breaking news" or changes…
