I approached a couple and one, Maplewood, agreed. Last summer 16th Ward constituents enjoyed the use of the Maplewood outdoor pool at a reduced rate. I have once again asked the city of Maplewood, and the request will be put before the city council in May for approval. The outcome of this meeting will be posted on my website. If the agreement is approved again, I will post when the passes may be purchased for summer 2008. This is a great example of how municipalities can work together as a team by sharing resources to help each other out regionally. If you have suggestions or ideas on how we can improve our community, I am more than happy to listen. Please stop by the Starbucks the first Friday of the month from 7:45-8:45 a.m. and have coffee with me. St. Louis Hills Southside Entrance – Progress Report | by Steve Doss t. Louis Hills has always been a great place to live because the neighbors, businesses, and churches work Stogether to build a unique caring community. When I put out a request in the last newsletter for funds to help build a new neighborhood identification marker on the Southside of the neighborhood, all three entities answered the call. We have achieved our goal and plan on breaking ground for the pillar in April. The number of neighbors who have donated are too numerous to mention but special thanks goes out to the following church groups, businesses and associations: St. Gabriel’s Golf Committee Imo’s St. Raphael’s Men’s Club Lesher’s Flowers Aboussie and Associates McDonald’s – Procter Family Franchises Artega Studios Mitchell Mechanical Bartolino’s/ Chris’ Restaurants Schaefer’s Auto Care Eichelberger Realty Sharamitaro & Associates, CPA Gilmore Electric Standard Travel Hampton Shoe Repair Ted Drewes Home Stretch Team – Realty Executives of St. Louis Webster Mortgage Group Thanks for all you do to make this a great neighborhood.

We changed our name from the St. Louis Hills Homeowners’ Association to the St. Louis Hills Neighborhood Association in order that both owners and residents would feel included. Our board members live throughout the Hills. We attend different churches or no church; we are Republicans, Democrats and independents; we have lived here forever or are relatively new to the neigh- borhood. We all share a lively sense of humor, we are definitely not always manageable, but we genuinely like one another (almost always). And thanks to our board members and volunteers, St. Louis Hills is still a jewel, but no longer hidden. Join us at our next general meetings on March 12 and June 12 at 7:00 p.m.

  • Noblest Redbird of Them All
    The Noblest Redbird of Them All News of Stan Musialʼs death last Saturday fills me with memories and thoughts, which I now feel impelled to write down, albeit in a rather disorganized way. I was an 8-year-old in St. Louis when Stan joined the Cardinals late in the 1941 season. Although I donʼt think I saw him play in 1941 (he played only 12 games that year), it was my privilege to see him in at least a few games every year of his career after that: 1942-44 and 1946-63. At the time, my brother Bill and I pretty much took this for granted: We loved the Cardinals, went every year to some of their games, and they had this great player. But in later years we have reflected on how unusual it is to be able to follow such a superstar through his whole career, and without making special trips to other towns just for that purpose. Itʼs almost impossible today with superstars changing teams so often, but back then you could do it. From the beginning, Musial put up impressive offensive numbers, but the so-called experts often described his “corkscrew” batting stance as awkward. Well, to us kids at the time, it didnʼt seem awkward at all: Obviously, it was producing better results than other stances, so we tried to imitate it, which is probably one of the reasons why neither I nor any of my friends of that time ever made the major leagues. Stan always claimed that this stance gave him a good view of the strike zone.
