Rita Swiener, a St. Louis Community College-Wildwood professor, was awarded the 2012 Community Service Award sponsored by Commerce Bank at a luncheon held Nov. 30 in St. Louis.

A Wildwood man was charged Aug. 16 with writing fake checks and cashing them last April. Michael Larocca, 32, of the 2500 block of Elm Forest Court in Wildwood, was charged with three counts of forgery. They are felony charges. Maryland Heights Police said Larocca cashed one check from a man legally. He then forged three more checks from the same man and cashed them at Commerce Bank at 12633 Dorsett Road in Maryland Heights, police said.
