Schardan is off probation and focusing on a career as a comic, something he began before heading to Michigan. He also is in the third year of a relationship with Earlene Gotto. He met Gotto, who was divorced, at a Belleville bar a few months after leaving prison. Schardan made her laugh — something she said she sorely needed. A couple of weeks later, he told her he was a felon.
“Did you murder somebody?” Gotto, 43, asked. He told her no, then explained his past. Gotto didn’t flinch.
“Let’s see where it goes,” she remembers thinking. Now, she describes him as ’so much more than a bank robber.”
Still, she admits, early on in their relationship, every time the TV news mentioned a bank robbery, she would look up to see if the police sketch or photo from surveillance video looked like Schardan.
Schardan has passed through several jobs — including a stint as a strip club security guard — on his way to comedy. Today, he and Gotto live together, along with his son, Kody, 17, and her son, Jory Frick, 26, in Fairview Heights.

… The one looked pretty bad, but I really couldn’t tell,” Foley said. “It’s pretty messed up. It’s pretty scary.”
The ambulances left the area quickly with lights and sirens running, witnesses said.
Police have a section of the parking lot near building 311 taped off and were conducting interviews. A K-9 unit dog was also on the scene.
Students who live at the apartment complex are flocking to the scene to get a glimpse of the activity, but media has been moved to an area off private property.
With three shooting victims on Friday, a total of five people have been shot in Cedar Rapids in five days. Raphael C. Blackwell Jr. was shot and killed early Monday morning outside of a strip club. Another man was shot in the mouth on Tuesday evening, but had non-life threatening injuries.

Mr. Spence, a wealthy St. Louis businessman, should have learned that lesson before he ever entered the race. After all, he pushed aside his friend, Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder, when Mr. Kinder stumbled over contradictory explanations for spending taxpayer dollars on personal stays in St. Louis luxury hotels and his relationship with a former stripper.
Voters tend to forgive mistakes. But they won’t put up with a thick fog of contrived answers that obscure the truth.
Here are the facts related to Mr. Spence’s role on that bank board, as laid out in an Associated Press story by reporter David Lieb:
…
At least Mr. Kinder’s ultimate explanation for ending up in a Southside dive bar fawning over an-ex stripper had a certain panache. He claims he simply was looking for a bathroom and decided to have a glass of wine.

Rory C. Reid, MSW, a licensed therapist and author who specializes in the treatment of sex offenders, states it is necessary for these individuals to avoid viewing seductive displays in order to minimize the risk of re-offending.
Our neighborhood convenient store is located on the same block as two grade schools and within blocks of two known sexual offenders* (one convicted of rape of a minor, the other for possessing child pornography), according to Family Watchdog.
Would the parents of these students feel safer if there were no visible triggers for sexual predators who happen to be passing through?
Is it OK that young women in our community are now being sent the message that pole dancing is just another form of exercise? I hope we can see these classes for what they are, training and recruitment for work in strip clubs and the like, which brings with it drug abuse, theft and other crime.

Bear Necessitis, a strip club in East St. Louis, has both girls and a breakfast buffet. It does not accept Bear Bucks.
…
Not that I would have wanted a dance anyways. The girls were clearly unhappy in their positions, really not enjoying what they were doing. Is it too much to ask that my strippers appreciate the good work that they do? Most of them were getting on in years (mid-twenties), and their ages were clearly showing.
…
Speaking of ocean-going vessels, the breakfast buffet tasted as though it was a dish best served on the high seas in the 1790s. Not only was everything cold and soggy, but it also all tasted the same. I’m pretty sure some maggots used the dish as a swimming pool. The best thing I can say about it is that at the end of a long night of drinking, I would appreciate something to quiet my stomach. But for the strip club connoisseur, I say that you can definitely find better food options at pretty much any other club around the greater St. Louis area.

Advocates back strip club surcharge to restore critical funding, protect jobs
…
Simon said Senate Bill 3348 would require all strip clubs that permit alcohol to pay a $5-per-patron fee. The funds would be distributed to community-based sexual assault prevention and response organizations, such as Call For Help, Inc., which is facing a 10 percent cut in state funding in Fiscal Year 2013, after sustaining a 29 percent in state funding between 2009-12.
…
Last year, the Texas Supreme Court upheld legislation that funded crisis centers through a $5 entrance fee at strip clubs that permit alcohol. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge of that decision, effectively opening the door for other cities and states to purse similar measures. California is among the states seeking legislation; it is considering a $10-per-patron fee.

IL Lieutenant Governor Backs Strip Club Fee Law
…
When asked why other clubs that sell alcohol weren’t targeted in this legislation, Simon said the research this bill was written on found the strongest correlation between strip clubs, alcohol and violence. She said many women who work at strip clubs become victims of sexual violence, but also men who visit the clubs who are often intoxicated and carry a lot of cash are easy targets for assault and robbery.
Simon says she and other lawmakers are working with strip club owners to find a solution that makes all parties happy, but so far, it’s not clear what that compromise would be. California is debating a similar bill, but it requires a ten-dollar entrance fee. This bill was based on research and a similar bill out of Texas.

He started with ambitions of becoming a boxer. By all accounts, he was pretty good, fighting in the Golden Gloves and eager to become a pro.
Friends called him “Buttercup” back then.
When he entered the Air Force, doctors found that he had a weak heart. He was honorably discharged a few weeks later.
He returned to St.Louis, where he hooked up with Lawrence, who had just split up with his comedy partner.
Lawrence was the straight man of the act; Mr. Lairy became the new comic.
“Stick ‘em down,” Paper would say.
“Paper, you say, ‘Stick ‘em up.’”
“Oh, no wonder I ain’t made any money all day.”
Lawrence recalled: “The closest we came to vulgarity was ‘damn’ and ‘hell.’”
They performed often with strippers, but “We were angels compared to what comedians do today,” Lawrence said.
