It is just so horrible how their life had to end and they will be missed." Rudawsky said a vet told the family "based on their wounds and where we found them in our yard, that they were attacked and killed by at least two coyotes…

Sunday night, Shaare Emeth released this following statement: The Shaare Emeth Board of Directors is excited to announce that Congregation Shaare Emeth and B'nai El Congregation will, once the members of B'nai El approve the necessary changes to their bylaws, enter into a new and innovative collaboration to create a lasting legacy for B'nai El on the Shaare Emeth campus.

Father Michael Brunner shared a message with several takeaways about life.
The following message was shared in the bulletin of St. Anselm Parish in Creve Coeur by Pastor Michael Brunner. It is republished here with permission: February 2, at the end of this week, is Groundhog Day, one of my favorite days of the year. It gives me real hope and provides a scientific basis for my greatest physical and psychological need this time of year, that winter will soon end . . . or not. If not soon, then at least an ending point is pointed out. There is light at the end of the tunnel. This tradition comes to us from the German settlers first in Pennsylvania, and stems from beliefs associated with Candlemas Day, February 2nd’s feast of the Purification in the church calendar, that was for centuries the day the clergy …

Police patrol all the schools and the day was very uneventful.
As is said in the vernacular: “All is quiet on the western front.” After a threat was made anonymously on an Instagram account sometime Wednesday, Fox 2 News reported a second Instagram account had been created and that the user profile picture was that of the shooter in the Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, CT. And with that Ladue school officials exerted extra caution and delivered an overnight message to school parents and the media that security would be heightened and extra caution taken at all buildings in the district on Thursday. School officials were working with local police in Ladue, Olivette and Creve Coeur at 2 in the morning to make sure all security possible would be in place.

The officer stopped subjects who reportedly had supplies and a list of area temples.
A Creve Coeur Police officer is being credited with action that likely spared Temple Israel from being victimized by two burglars.

The Olivette bakery with a deep history in Creve Coeur and University City closed several weeks ago.
Pratzel's Eastgate Bakery may have closed its doors but its baked goods live on. The St. Louis institution for almost a century closed its doors sometime in late summer.

After a summer of legislative maneuvering to expand restaurant use in certain parts of the city along with allowing bakeries on smaller pieces of property in Creve Coeur, Ray's Donuts is getting ready to make its debut later this month.
