    Project planner is a felon BY GEORGE PAWLACZYK
    Kevin Byrne, business representative of the Carpenters' District Council of Greater St. Louis, said the union agreed to work with United Front to place carpentry students in jobs. Byrne also said he was unaware of Koen's criminal background.

    ESL OKs incentives for apprentice program, factory BY TANIA E. LOPEZ
    The City Council approved a financial incentive to bring a carpenter's apprenticeship program and factory into East St. Louis.

    The idea behind the proposal is to start an apprenticeship training school and factory for disadvantaged people. The program is a cooperative between The United Front Inc. and United Brotherhood of Carpenters, the metro-east's carpenters' union. Once carpenters graduate from the program, they automatically are entered into the union then go out into the community to help rebuild it.
