HAPPY GO LUCKY F*CKS UP AGAIN!

Yesterday, a 3-year old boy was left in a van for over a hour while on a field trip with Happy Go Lucky Daycare,on Airport Rd across from Imos. Apparently, they forgot the child after they arrived at the Science Center,caring two separate van loads of children. The boy had no serious injuries. But this is plain negligence. This is not the first thing gone bad at this daycare. They've had complaints of not feeding their children proper meals, letting the children fight each other. There is no one properly trained there to administer medicine to children with asthma or other conditions. They have no structure. And this is a state paid facility. I think they needed to be investigated!

BILL INTRODUCED TO STOP THE PURCHASE OF FIREWORKS IN ST. CHARLES

Councilman Dave Beckering, 7Th Ward, sponsored a bill to amend the current firework law. Under the proposed bill fireworks would be limited to sparklers and non-reporting, non-exploding fountains only on private property during 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. The city's current ordinances allow anyone older than 16 to fire off a host of pyrotechnics within the city limit, including "firecrackers, fireworks, torpedoes, bombs, rockets, pinwheels, fire balloons, Roman candles, toy cannons, toy pistols" and others.The proposed change keeps the 16-year age limit for those allowed to light fireworks, and prohibits anyone from lighting any fireworks on city land without a permit from the mayor. I believe if this bill is passed, it still want stop people from buying and lighting fireworks in and around the St. Louis/St. Charles area.
