The University City group worked Jan. 6 to develop a survey that would help it understand community attitudes about city services.
A mayor's task force met Jan. 6 at City Hall in University City to discuss objectives and strategies for providing more activities and greater access to resources for youth and seniors. Mayor Shelley Welsch called for people to be nominated to head the task force. She said its job will be to become more familiar with the concerns of the community and to present University City citizens with access to information that will aid them.

Wow! It cost how much to take a picture with Santa?
Editor's Note: I wrote this last December and am re-posting it today. I thought it might resonate with other parents. Labor costs must be hitting the North Pole. Wow, did I got major sticker shock when I took my son to get his picture taken with Santa over the weekend at the mall in Alton, Illinois. The cheapest package was $20.00. My eyes glazed over at $45.00. I'm not stuck in the late 1970s thinking 2 bucks will get you into a movie, but the Santa inflation came as a shock. I was expecting to shell out $10.00 maybe $15.00. Or at the most $20.00 But, after all that, it appeared it wasn't to be. Santa's mall enforcer elves said he was at a restaurant across the street doing a meet and greet breakfast. Immediately I was skeptical, …

We spent Sunday morning in the ER after my son got into my multivitamins.
Sunday morning was a teachable mommy moment. I hate those. They make me feel terrible. My son got into my multivitamins, so off we went to the emergency room. "I did it," said Alex, my 2-year-old, sounding so proud as he stood amongst the pills on the floor of our bedroom. Did you take some pills I asked. Silence from Alex. He had spit-up on his t-shirt so all the evidence pointed toward the possibility he had popped one or more into his mouth. Saturday night, I had taken my vitamin and put the bottle on my bed-stand. Had I tightened the lid? I think. I'm sure I did. But I couldn't really remember. Having moved into our house about 2 weeks ago, things are still a mess. And I kept putting off organizing until I had time. Well, clearly …

Thanks for your concern Marsha. We took my son to St. Louis Children's Hospital. I can't recall the doctor's name but she was very professional, as were the nurses. We had a very short wait. We do have a co-pay as we're fortunate enough to have health insurance.   more ›
