Police report that man was not shot in s unset Hills, but in Jennings
by Jaime Mowers
Story Of Shootin
A man who said he was shot in the parking lot of a Sunset Hills Burger King on Monday night, Sept. 17, lied to police. “We determined that the inciden t that was reported did not occur in Sunset Hills – it occurred in Jennin gs,” Sunset Hills Chief William Police LeGrand told the Times Wednesday afterno on. “The victim had in fact been shot, but the victim did not get shot in Sunset Hills. He fabricated the story to

provide some sort of cover so he wouldn in some sort of difficu ’t get lty over where he was.” LeGrand said the case has been turned to the St. Louis over County Police Depar because the inciden tment t happened in Jennin gs. “We will be filing charges locally (against him) for filing a false police report ,” LeGrand said. The 45-year-old man filed a report the Sunset Hills with Police Department that said he had been shot several times after a man
with a gun approa ched him as he was walking toward the door of the Burger King at 10734 Sunset Hills Plaza on Monday evenin g. The man told police he grabbed the of the gun, then barrel struggled with the alleged suspect. Despite gunshot wounds to the head, shin and right leg, the victim said he drove himself home and was then taken to the hospital by his wife, according to the report. His injurie police s were reportedly non-life threatening.

St. Louis Chapter boasts 60 counselors; is one of 370 chapters across the country by Marty Harris
Kirkwood resident Larry Ross spent 35 years in the banking industry before retiring as a senior vice president with Bank of America almost three years ago. Since he retired, Ross, 65, has been putting his professional knowledge to use as a SCORE volunteer helping small businesses. “I just think you can really make a deep impression on individuals in this business,” Ross said about SCORE. “You can enjoy their successes and help them through difficult times. “SCORE’s primary goal is to work with small business owners either through face-to-face counseling or through cyber counseling,” said Ross. “In addition to that we do education. We run seminars and workshops throughout the year. “Business owners typically operate on their own,” Ross said. “We act as
July 15 - 21, 2011
their advisory board.” SCORE has three things going for it: experience, knowledge and it’s free, volunteer Bob Boles of Manchester summarized. Boles joined the SCORE team about two years ago after he retired. He was an educator for 12 years before buying an Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics franchise in 1970. In 1995, he began selling seminars to schools to train teachers on how to use reading and writing to raise test scores. “I got into (SCORE) to give back to the community that’s been so good to me over the years,” Boles said, who tells the SCORE story and gives presentations to chambers of commerce throughout eastern Missouri. What Is SCORE? SCORE, a nation-wide organization which began in the mid-1960s, stands for Service Corps of Retired Executives. However, since about half of volunteers
are still in the workforce, it doesn’t see story really apply today, so the organization is just known as SCORE, Ross said. 13-PT pages 12, “Nationally we have 370 chapters and 13,000 counselors,” Ross said. The St. Louis Chapter has
60
July 15 - 21, 2011
The St. Louis Chapter also has branches in St. Charles and Kirkwood. Ross is office manager at the Kirkwood office at 333 S. Kirkwood Road, located in PNC Bank. Ross is also incoming chairman of the St. Louis chapter. SCORE volunteers have experience in many fields from sales and marketing to retail to managing manufacturing on the shop floor. Whatever business an individual has or a prospective entrepreneur can come up with, someone in SCORE has been in that business or been in one close to it, Boles said.

Broadway in downtown St. Louis, space it shares with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). SCORE is a resource partner with the SBA, a business partner with the
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Veterans Business Resource Center and offers business counseling at St. Patrick’s Center and at the Justine Petersen organization at 1023 N. Grand Blvd.
Kitchen Table Businesses Small business owners are encouraged to contact SCORE. “Many of our clients have five employees or less,” Ross said, adding their sales are predominately in the $500,000 to $1 million range. “Some are called ‘kitchen table businesses,’ he added. “They operate out of their homes using their laptops. “During this recession, many small businesses are struggling and they need to focus on their marketing,” he said. “Many have never created a business plan or thought about where they want
to go for the next three to five years. “We help them put together their business plan and focus them on their marketing and we stay with our clients as long as they want us,” Ross said. SCORE has many success stories. “I had a client who was selling out of his basement and home,” Ross said. “I was able to help him get a loan to open a location where he could actually package and sell from that location. He was then able to hire two people.” Ross also counseled an individual who is opening a banquet center. “I reviewed his loan application and gave him advice for the information he needed to provide the bank,” Ross said. “He got the loan and he’s now in the construction process and will be opening in a couple of months.” “I get energized by people’s successes,” Ross said, who has a 40-client case load and works about 40 to 60 hours a month. Volunteers must commit to 20 hours a month.

A Resource For Chambers Another segment of SCORE is working with chambers of commerce. “We work with about 30 chambers in the St. Louis area,” said Ross.

Lots of Rides and Food This year promises to be one of the biggest and best July 4 events ever in Webster Groves! The Fairgrounds will be filled with more than a dozen colorful, fun and classic amusement rides provided by PBJ Happee Days Shows, Inc., one of the finest companies of its kind. The huge Lions Club Foods Tent will once again be one of the most popular places in town for all four days as a place to meet and, of course, to eat. As always, Lions Club members will be grilling and serving a wide variety of freshly-prepared and reasonablypriced food such as full slabs of ribs,
Hundreds of Volunteers In order for the Webster Lions July 4 Carnival and Barbecue to occur, members of the Lions Club—and their families and friends—sacrifice their personal holiday fun to work virtually non-stop for a full week on the Fairgrounds. From the time set-up begins until clean-up is concluded, more than 6,000 volunteer hours are expended by Lions Club members and many other volunteers. Everything on July 4 Fairgrounds is coordinated and supervised by members of the Webster Groves Lions Club. The overall chairperson for the Webster Lions 2012 July 4 Carni-

val and Barbecue is Vicky Swederska. The Webster Lions donate substantial funding toward the spectacular fireworks display on July 4. The Lions Club also commits significant financial support to the reconditioning and restoration of the Lions Athletic Fields following the July 4 Carnival and Barbecue. Memorable and Safe July 4 Holiday The annual Webster Lions July 4 Carnival and Barbecue involves a considerable commitment to the community on the part of the Lions Club. Safety is always a foremost concern. Several years ago, for example, the Webster Lions spent $17,000 to upgrade the electrical system that serves the July 4 Fairgrounds site. The July 4 Carnival and Barbecue is the single largest project of the year for the Webster Groves Lions Club. Depending on the weather, the financial results are better some years than others. Year in and year out, the Lions Club works tirelessly to make the Community Days/July 4 festivities in Webster Groves a safe and memorable celebration for all! Many Benefit From Webster Lions Generosity Some past recipients of contribu-
tions from the Lions Club of Webster Groves include: Community Days/July 4 fireworks; midway booths; Memorial Park maintenance restoration; Delta Gamma Center for Children with Visual Impairments; Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation; Kilo Diabetes & Vascular Research Foundation; Meals on Wheels; St. Louis Society for the Blind; Leader Dogs for the Blind; Mid-South Eye Care Foundation; Missouri Lions All-Star Football Game; Mid-America Transplant Services; and Missouri School for the Blind; Lions Athletic Fields at Memorial Park; Make-A-Difference Day in Webster Groves & Shrewsbury; Webster Groves Historical Society; WebsterRock Hill Ministries; Webster Groves Fire Department; Webster Groves Police Department; Missouri Lions AllState Marching Band; the Learning Center; Webster Groves High School Baseball Team; Webster Groves High School Football Team “Turkey Day Luncheon; college scholarship awards to 10 local high school graduates; D.A.R.E.

Outstanding Community Involvement The Lions Club of Webster Groves is involved all year long in the planning and organizing of Webster’s Annual Community Days/July 4th Celebration. This dedicated effort by the Lions Club began in 1960 when Webster Lions moved its 34-year-running summertime carnival and barbecue from Labor Day to July 4 as part of a then-new local event called Webster Groves Community Days. The subsequent 52-year partnership between the Lions Club and Webster’s overall July 4 festivities has been a very special and very unique collaboration for the community and for people from all parts of the metropolitan region.

a water break from competition.
Ask a dozen adults what the highlight of the Webster Groves’ annual July 4 Celebration is, and you will get a dozen different answers: the fireworks, the parade, the barbecue, the entertainment, seeing friends and neighbors, and so forth. But ask a dozen children and teenagers about Community Days/July 4 celebration in Webster Groves and the answer will always be the same: the Carnival Rides are the very best! For the 86th consecutive year, the Lions Club of Webster Groves will hold its annual summer-time Carnival and Barbecue. This tradition serves, first and foremost, as an opportunity for families, friends and neighbors in the community to come together in a safe, pleasant and patriotic setting. Since 1926, the Webster Groves Lions Club has relied on its annual Carnival and Barbecue as the group’s primary fundraising event of the year.

Preserving Historic Neighborhoods
Downsizing Can Be Exciting & Challenging
Residents help to retain unique character of their neighborhoods through historic district designations

When children move out and on with their own lives, a home may become too big for its occupants. At this point, residents may feel it’s time to downsize to a smaller home. Downsizing can be exciting and challenging at the same time. Going through and packing belongings can be a trip down memory lane. But chances are a smaller space will mean parting with a number of belongings
which have been collected over time. To make the process easier, first assess how much space there will be in the new home. Many times floor plans or room dimensions are available. First measure large items, such as furniture, to be sure it will fit in the rooms. Then think about storage possibilities. Next, make a running list of what items can be discarded and where those items will go. Some belongings can be donated to charity, while others may be given to family and friends. Many other things could end up in the trash or recycling bins. Knowing
where things will go will make them easier to sort. For those doing a major clean-out of the home, it could be efficient to hire a dumpster to be placed onsite. This way, larger bulk items can simply be tossed inside. Some municipalities restrict what can be placed in the regular trash or how much garbage can be collected, so this alleviates the stress of dealing with excess trash. When actually beginning to get rid of things, start with the areas that re-

ceive the least amount of use. Belongings stored in the attic or basement may be simply taking up space and hold less sentimental value. People can then work their way toward items that are used on a regular basis. Duplicates of things can be donated. It can be cathartic to clear out clutter and get ready to start anew. Some people find they have to downsize because of financial reasons. In these cases, thinning out belongings can also be a way to earn a few extra bucks. Selling or auctioning off seldom used items may produce a little extra cash that can help finance moving expenses or even bills.
