ITS WEDNESDAY. TIME FOR OUTTOWN!Hello All
It has been a whole lot goin on this week, so lets get rite to it.
I guess the big newz story wa steh amazing comeback from the Kansas City Jayhwaks this week (Yeah, I know its in Kansas City, but the STL is claiming them too)during the Final Four game. It was the Jayhawks’ Mario Chalmers (PICTURED) who hit a 3-pointer with 2.1 seconds left in regulation to push the game into overtime, and the Jayhawks grinded it out from there for a 75-68 victory Monday night over Memphis in one of the best title games in recent memory. Chalmers' shot pulled Kansas into a tie after being down nine with 2:12 left. "We got the ball in our most clutch player's hands, and he delivered," Kansas coach Bill Self said. It was the first title for Kansas since 1988, when Danny Manning, now an assistant coach for the Jayhawks, led them to an upset of Oklahoma. And the shot earned Chalmers the most outstanding player honor.

American Airlines has cancelled more than 20 flights at Lambert St. Louis International Airport today, according to the airport's website. The airline is trying for a second time to comply with federal rules about wiring on about 300 of its planes. Airline officials said they canceled a total of about 500 flights Tuesday but didn't know how many would be scrubbed Wednesday. It depended on how quickly the airline could inspect and, if necessary, rework the wiring in its MD-80 aircraft. Since the FAA began looking more closely at airlines' compliance with safety directives, there have been cancellations at Southwest, Delta Air Lines Inc. and UAL Corp.'s United Airlines.
The only candidate officially on the ballot for Kirkwood Mayor has won the election. City Council member Art McDonnell will be the new mayor. Former Council member Connie Karr was among the five people killed in the February city hall shootings. She was also running for mayor. Karr's supporters said going ahead with the election was okay, essentially crowned McDonnell the victor before a single vote was cast. Official election results may not be available for a few days because of voters writing in candidate names.
Slain St. Louis Police Officer Norvelle T. Brown will live on forever in the community he served. Drive past the North Patrol division on Union Blvd and now you’ll see that Margaretta Avenue is now Norvelle T. Brown Ave. The permanent tribute runs a couple of blocks to Geraldine. Officer Brown’s mother says the slain officer was watching the celebration from heaven. Brown was just 22 years old and had been a police officer for just 10 months when he was shot and killed in the line of duty in August 2007. The Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board approved Tuesday morning an application to merge some operations of Kenneth Hall Regional Hospital, East St. Louis, Ill.'s only hospital, to Touchette Regional Hospital in Centreville, Ill.

Former Vashon High School coach, Floyd Irons publicly apologized this week for breaking the law using a radio commercial on station 104.1 to reach out to kids as well as his adult supporters. The message sounds upbeat at the beginning, but ends as a tough admission that he failed to meet his own standards. St. Louis radio station 104.1 has been running the ad for more than a week. Earl Wilson, head of the Gateway Classic Sports Foundation is planning a farewell meeting for Irons before he leaves to serve a year in federal prison. As part of his sentence agreement, Irons spoke to the Missouri State High School Activities Association about any violations of athletic rules that occurred while he was coaching basketball at Vashon High School in St. Louis.
