Way to go skaters & coaches! The first place team was the Fond Du Lac Blades out of WI, second place went to the Skyliners out of NY, third to St. Louis Synergy and fourth to team Del Sol out of Southern CA."

— Karen Roseman, Kirkwood-Webster Groves Patch.

 "C'mon people, this was always a public document. What's the big deal? Give it a rest already, the matter is done. Can council members please get back to governing? Thank you."
— Earl Higgins, University City Patch

Brentwood Community Vegtable Garden: "Where is the Brentwood Community Vegtable Garden site? Does anyone else call Whole Foods Market Whole Paycheck Market?"
— Stewart Clark, Maplewood-Brentwood Patch

 "They should make students that flunk a grade have to pay to retake the grade. That would make money and force parents to ensure their kids are doing the work to pass."
— Breanna, Hazelwood Patch

 "It looks like Wildwood is the only community that will fork out the money for this BBQ."
— MartyMoose, Eureka-Wildwood Patch

: "Get over it. The BASH IS BACK!"
— Steve, Eureka-Wildwood Patch

Local Pool Hall: "Does anyone know of a place to play pool (the more local the better) that doesn't allow smoking?"
— Amanda Holtom, Maryland Heights Patch

: "I know for a fact when Kirkwood has severe weather move into the area knocking down trees and power line, the dispatchers receive approximately 300 calls per hour. Keep in mind, Kirkwood has its own Electric Company and the police and fire dispatchers answers their phones after hours. They also answer the Kirkwood Water Department and Street Departments phones after hours. Their are a lot of questions unanswered about who would answer all of these other departments phone lines as well as dispatching for the these three departments and the Kirkwood Park Rangers. Kirkwood is a unique small town with a lot of family ties and our dispatchers are just as much family as our Council is."

— Jim Cox, Kirkwood-Webster Groves Patch.

 "Why so many DWIs? That's really troubling. . .people need to get it together and not endanger others and themselves."
— Alex, Maryland Heights Patch

"Another great read is Look Again by Lisa Scottoline."
— Trish Feldt, O'Fallon Patch

Overseas Patchland: "I am a sergeant currently deployed in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and wanted to say hello to my hometown. Miss Home!!!"
— Billy Amman, Arnold Patch
