Many congratulations to Katrina Stierholz and the Playground Committee.
It looks like all difficulties with the Board of Public Service are resolved, the contractor is ready, and construction of the young children’s playground in what is now the SDCC parking lot should begin in March. Katrina and the Committee spent many, many hours making this dream come true. Erica Webb had a very special 21st birthday celebration.
She received her AA from St. Louis Community College on her natal day. Skinker DeBaliviere resident (and former SDCC director) Nancy Farmer is a candidate for the Democratic nomi nation for state treasurer.
Her in-house polling shows her garnering 52% of the vote!
On January 18, 2000, St. Roch Troop 98 Scout Master Steve Santen received the district Award of Merit for giving his time and effort as an adult volunteer.

He has been continuously involved with Scouting at St. Roch Catholic Parish since joining Pack 98 there in 1968.
As a member of Troop 98 Steve became an Eagle Scout in 1976 and was an officer in the West District Chapter Order of the Arrow. Steve became an Assistant Scoutmaster at Troop 98 in 1978 and led a troop contingent to Philmont Scout Ranch in 1984.
In 1996 Steve accepted Troop 98’s invitation to serve as Scoutmaster.
