Solar Panels Mean Savings for Mehlville Schools
The district estimated an annual savings of $130,000 when they approved solar panelling for five buildings.
The Mehlville School District has already been able to reap some savings from solar panels atop five district schools, which were installed in December. At the end of last school year the district’s Board of Education approved a 20-year agreement with StraightUp Solar to install solar panels on the roofs of Beasley Elementary, Hagemann Elementary, Bernard Middle, Oakville High and the Witzel Alternative Academy. The panels are expected to offset roughly $130,000 in annual energy costs. Each system will prevent the consumption of 3.3 million pounds of coal and 6.6 million pounds of Carbon Dioxide emissions over the course of the 20-year lease agreement, according to the district website. During the April 25 Board of Education Meeting Chief …

Hazardous Household Waste Center Now Available to South County Residents
You can drop off old batteries, paint and other toxic materials year-round in Lemay.
The opening of the Saint Louis Household Hazardous Waste center means residents of St. Louis County, St. Louis City and Jefferson County can now drop off pool chemicals, pesticides, gas, oil, aerosol cans, paint—even light bulbs and batteries—all year round. The center opened earlier this week at 291 E. Hoffmeister in Lemay, and will make the current once-a-year collection schedule obsolete, CBS St. Louis reports. St. Louis County solid waste manager John Haasis tells CBS how materials are stored on the site, and when they get incinerated. Read the full story on CBS St. Louis, or learn more information on the center’s website.

Veterans Group Hoping for Jefferson Barracks Cemetery Expansion
The group has asked the St. Louis County Council for its support in the expansion of the national cemetery into nearby Sylvan Springs Park, which is owned by the county.
A St. Louis County veterans group has asked the St. Louis County Council for its support in the expansion of Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery into nearby Sylvan Springs Park. Two members of the group - Al Katzenberger and Mike LeBlanc - presented a petition containing more than 2,000 signatures in favor of the acquisition to the council at Tuesday's meeting. They are hoping the county will work with the Veteran's Administration to make the expansion into Sylvan a reality. Katzenberger, a liaison for Jefferson Barracks National Chapel, Cemetery and Expansion, told Patch that it is expected the cemetery will run out of room by 2025. He said the expansion into Sylvan, which is a 55-acre park, could provide burial space for another 25 to …

I agree with you! It's awful hearing all the traffic, noise, and music from the Wal Mart parking lot when in the cemetery. That land was supposed to be for Cemetery expansion before greedy StL county sold it 20 years ago. Wal Mart wants to leave that location anyway. So in 5 years we will have NO PARK and another empty retail space where Wal Mart sits..... more ›

There is a difference in "EDUCATION SAVINGS" vs "EDUCATION INDOCTRINATION". I would assert that solar roofing panels equipment is an "investment" , not a savings. Using someone else's money is only a saving for "freeloaders". That, folks is exactly what public school officials are teaching. I would also assert that the energy solar world is "Indoctrination of one's beliefs", not necessarily an "… more ›
