Who Was The Creve Coeur Newsmaker Of The Year In 2012

We've reached that time of the year where we're in a reflective mood, and we're asking you to help us put 2012 in perspective.

It is time to talk about who should be the Creve Coeur Newsmaker of the Year. Ah, but what does that mean? The beauty is, as they say, in the eye of the beholder. You get to help build the team picture, so to speak.

Someone who did the most good? Parkway Northeast Middle Schooler Sam Klein could qualify for that. The young man was featured on NBC Nightly News and won a St. Louis Patch contest asking that very question.

Could it be Creve Coeur Mayor Barry Glantz? He won a Mayor's race that people had been talking about for nearly 2 years as longtime Mayor Harold Dielmann retired following term limits.

The city of Creve Coeur named a pair of Citizens of the Year for their work volunteering on causes like the arts and the environment. Would Dan Tierney or Kathleen Engel get your vote?

How about Delmar Gardens CEO Gabe Grossberg?

What about now-former? Or Ruth Ahlemeier, the district mom who drew attention to an ugly "tradition" of bullying which has lasted for years and is now the subject of a civil rights complaint?

There. We've set the scene a little for you. Please add your voice. There could be any number of worthy candidates. Start chiming in and tell us why you think they deserve the label. We'll recap and have a final thought on it December 28.
