HEARING ON LANDFILL

On Tuesday, April 19, 2005 theDirector of the Division of Environmental Services, Department of Community Health and the Environment of St. Charles County will hold a public hearing in the County Administration Building, Multi-purpose room at 201 North Second at 7pm to consider a request from St. Peters Quarry L.L.C. N/K/A Metro Fill Development, L.L.C. to issue a license for the construction and operation of a demolition landfill. This is the property located on the southwest corner of Arena Parkway and Friedens Road. It consists of 27.338 acres.

Good For Her

You would think with all the fast food businesses in town they would be appreciative of your business. Not so at Steak and Shake on First Capitol Drive. A lady walked in the other day and walked over to the empty counter and took a seat. A man, later identified to be the manager, took it upon himself to berate her for not waiting for someone to seat her. She told him she thought the “Wait To Be Seated” sign applied to the tables and booths. Not so he admonished her. “The next time you come in here wait to be seated at the counter, do not seat yourself.” Much to her benefit she got up and walked out.

Mayor’s Salary in 2007

On Tuesday’s Council Agenda I noticed Councilman Larry Muench is requesting a date for the City Council to discuss what the Mayor’s salary will be in 2007. With the election for a new Mayor still two years away I wonder what the rush is all about? We have heard there are some individuals who want the job but they would not be interested unless the position pays a premium. Whatever happened to the days of public service?

Volunteer Subscribers

We recently had a campaign for volunteer subscribers. The response overwhelmed us. Thank you very much for your kind consideration. We will continue trying each week to bring our readers the news they can find no where else.

We are always looking for suggestions on how to improve the First Capitol News. If you have any ideas or suggestions we would be pleased if you would send them to us for consideration. Is there anything we are doing you would like us to change? Is there anything we are not doing you would like to see us do? Please let us know how you feel so we can continue to improve the First Capitol News.
