"It’s one of the most idiotic things I’ve seen this board do. I’ll go on record with that," said Ward 2 Alderman Kathy Schweikert.
At the last regular meeting of 2012, Lake Saint Louis Mayor Mike Potter put a slate of appointees for city boards and commissions in front of the board of aldermen for approval. The only appointment that failed to be approved was former alderman John Pellerito. Pellerito, who lost his Ward 3 seat to Richard Morris last year, was one of Potter's choices to sit on the city's Tree Board. When the time came for the motion to be made to approve the appointments, Ward 3 Alderman George Rich moved for all the appointments except for the tree board to be approved. When his omission was pointed out, Rich named the other Tree Board appointment, but left Pellerito out of the motion. "John is very qualified, and we need people," Potter said, but Rich …

The ceremony went on despite the rain and participants were rewarded with some tree-related fun and a free tree.
It seems to rain every year Lake St. Louis celebrates Arbor Day and Saturday was no exception. Cold and blowing rain kept the crowd away from the celebration but about a dozen residents braved the weather and came out to participate. Lake St. Louis celebrated Arbor Day Saturday May 14 in Boulevard Park under the gazebo. This is Lake St. Louis’ tenth anniversary as a Tree City USA and third consecutive year receiving a Growth Award. To achieve TCUSA status a community must meet four criteria: have a Tree Board, have a tree ordinance, hold an annual Arbor Day event and spend a minimum of $2 per capita on trees. Lake St. Louis has met these criteria for ten years. This year's celebration featured a proclamation by Jim Bowers, …
