On the same day the nation watched the historic inauguration of Barack Obama, an eastern Missouri city welcomed its first black mayor.
Earl Cook on Tuesday became the first African-American mayor of Festus and the first in all of Jefferson County.
Former Mayor Gene Doyle planned to announce his departure to coincide with Obama's inauguration in Washington. Doyle told a packed room at City Hall that he was stepping down because he thought that change was needed, not because he didn't like being mayor.
Cook had been a council member and mayor pro-tem of the city of 9,600 about 35 miles south of St. Louis.
Cook said he'd rather not be thought of as the African-American mayor, just as the mayor.
He'll hold office until 2010. |

One of the men -- Ross W. Crum, of Robertsville -- was flown by helicopter to Barnes-Jewish hospital in St. Louis with serious injuries. The other man -- William S. Triola, of Grubville -- was taken by ambulance to St. Anthony's Medical Center with "moderate" injuries, according to the Missouri Highway Patrol. The pair were struck about 6 a.m. today on Highway 30 about a third of a mile west of Route Y near Robertsville in Jefferson County, police said. Read the full story |
