What Could It Hurt! My granddaughter came over the other day, looked at all the bottles of cherry juice lining the kitchen counter, and widened her eyes. “Seriously, Nano? Seriously?” was all she said. Had there been a thought bubble floating above her head like the ones expressing inner monologues of cartoon characters, it might have said, “Whoa! She’s really thirsty.” Cherry juice is just one of several crackpot alternative medicine therapies I embrace from time to time, to address residual effects of an accident several years ago. After surgeries, physical therapy, acupuncture, laser treatments and a boatload of pills, natural remedies are worth a try. And being of the “more is better” school of thought, I say, bring them all on. To quote the memorable observation of Tim Sullivan in the Cincinnati Enquirer years ago, “Wretched excess beats miserly minimalism eight days a week.”

So I’ve gone through Chinese herbal supplements, tubs of fresh pineapple, vats of grape juice (sickeningly sweet), and tart cherry (better). Lately I’ve added a raisin regimen that involves submerging golden raisins in a bath of gin, letting the liquid evaporate, and eating nine every night. You cannot imagine the running cynical commentary I’ve endured from the other person who lives in this house. It’s enough to make me wish I hadn’t let all the gin evaporate. I also take vitamins – lots of them. We could eat out several times a week for less money, and enjoy it more. Shoot, I could finance a pilgrimage to Lourdes, for that matter, though I’m not sure if it’s still considered a sacred miracle site. So many things learned in grade school have been discredited. I used to make fun of a high school friend’s mother, who was probably ahead of her time in health food trends. Mrs. O. was always lecturing us on the

benefits of various vitamins she’d arrange in rows on the table. It was a regular “Valley of the Dolls” over there, except with vitamins instead of uppers and downers. We couldn’t leave for school until the whole assortment was swallowed, with a chaser of some vile potion she concocted each morning. Omygod, I thought to myself recently, I have become Mrs. O. When did this happen? More to the point, If I had to turn into somebody’s mother, why not my own (who, by the way, would certainly regard the raisin thing as a complete waste of Beefeater gin). Any day now, a miracle could kick in. The sun will come blazing through the window, I’ll spring out of bed, click my heels together, dance across the room and break into song. Oh, wait — this isn’t a 1940s musical. But hey, nine raisins every night and enough cherry juice to see me through the apocalyptic crack of doom: Life is sweet.

News In Webster Schools

Officials Fear State Tax To Increase District Deficit

Webster and Kirkwood school districts to discuss on July 2, 5:30 p.m. in Webster Groves by Jim Merkel

Webster Groves School District officials worry that action in Jefferson City may worsen a $711,237 deficit in a 2013-14 budget unanimously approved by the school board on Monday. Operating expenses in the new budget are set at $55.3 million, a 4.5 percent increase over the 201213 budget of $52.8 million. Operating revenue for the coming year is $54.6 million, down from $55.3 million in the year just ending. The deficit itself doesn’t worry the officials. It’s part of an expected cycle, Assistant SuperintendentChief Operating Officer Diane Moore said. The district built up a surplus of about $16 million in the last three years after a tax increase in 2010 and expect to use the surplus to fund deficits for the next two years. If the board continues operating as it has in the past, it would seek another tax increase in 2015. What concerns the district is possible action by the state legislature that could leave the district swimming in red ink. As it is, the budget anticipates receiving $5.3 million from the state, down from $5.6 million the 2012-13 fiscal year that

ends Sunday. “We will have to watch very closely what happens in the state arena,” Moore told the board on Monday. A state income tax reduction passed by the state legislature, but vetoed by Gov. Jay Nixon, could cost the district up to $750,000, Moore said. If the state legislature overrides Nixon’s veto in its upcoming veto session in September, “we would have to use the fund balance to make up the difference,” she added. Had the cuts come earlier, the district might have been able to make its own adjustments, she said. The tax-cut bill, HB 253, includes the following provisions: • A .5 percent personal income tax cut phased-in over 10 years if state revenues increase by at least $100 million a year. • A 50 percent business income tax deduction phased in over five years. • A 3 percent corporate income tax rate cut, phased-in over 10 years, as long as state revenues increase at least $100 million a year. • An additional $1,000 personal exemption for taxpayers with $20,000 or less of Missouri adjusted gross income. District Superintendent Sarah Booth Riss has called a meeting of the legislative advocacy committee of the Webster and Kirkwood school

districts to discuss the issue. Several local state representatives and state senators plan to attend the meeting, said District Community Relations Director Cathy Vespereny. It will be at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 2, at the Webster Groves School District office, 400 E. Lockwood Ave. The big reason for increases in operating expenses is a 3 percent jump in salaries for teachers and support staff, said Moore. In past years the raises have been limited to 1 or 2 percent. Also, the district expects to hire four more teachers and two additional teacher aides to deal with enrollment increases. Enrollment rose from 4,068 students in the 2005-06 school year to 4,366 in 2012-13. A major reason for this, officials believe, is that a number of parents took their children out of private schools and enrolled them in public schools. They also believe that in some cases, empty nesters sold their homes to younger families who sent their children to the Webster Groves district. The district expects local receipts, mainly property taxes, to bring in $47.5 million in 201314, down slightly from $47.8 million. The sequester budget cuts are expected to bring a drop in federal revenues, from $1.35 million in 2012-13 to $1.26 million in 2013-14. County revenue is expected to dip slightly, from $565,722 in 2012-13 to $552,000 in 2013-14.

Moratorium OK’d For Redevelopment Area

Council to hold public hearing July 18 on 6-month moratorium on rezoning requests & Manchester/Kirkwood roads area by Dennis Hannon

The Kirkwood City Council has imposed a moratorium on rezoning petitions for the area around Manchester and Kirkwood roads, which is officially under study for redevelopment. The council has scheduled a hearing for its July 18 meeting on the moratorium specifically, and the potential redevelopment of the

Manchester/Kirkwood Road area in general. The Kirkwood Planning and Zoning Commission voted June 19 to recommend the moratorium, in a vote taken at the request of the council. That establishes the zoning moratorium, despite the lack of official action by the council, City Attorney John Hessel said. In effect, the commission announced it will not consider any rezoning petition for the area for six months, thus imposing a de facto moratorium, said Hessel. The lapsed time actually will be about seven months, as the council cannot vote on a moratorium de jure – also to last six months – until its next meeting, July 18. Currently, there isn’t a proposal to

redevelop the Manchester/Kirkwood Road area, only a study conducted by PGAV Planning of St. Louis. The council appropriated $45,900 Feb. 7 for the project and heard the results May 16. The key finding was that the 15acre area studied around Manchester and Kirkwood roads could, with the help of city financing, be transformed into a thriving business district. The area could generate retail sales of $28 million a year (more than five times the current level), and – not incidentally – annual tax revenues of $740,000 (more than four times those now collected), PGAV reported. The study area stretches roughly in a “T” shape along Manchester Road approximately from the Lou

Mayor Raises Questions On Connector Plan

Board to hold July 9 public hearing to discuss South County Connector roadway by Dennis Hannon

Shrewsbury Mayor Felicity Buckley did not attend the work session of the board of aldermen Tuesday night, but she had a dominating impact just the same. Buckley left a list of trenchant questions about the South County Connector project, which not coincidentally is to be the subject of a public hearing at the board’s next meeting, July 9. Recitation of the questions – performed by Board Member Mike Travaglini, who presided over the meeting – took roughly as long as any other segment

of the brief proceeding. The mayor raised the following issues: • The funding coming from only county taxpayers, when the connector equally serves South St. Louis. • Who will maintain the connector and the landscaping? • Who will pay for the landscaping? • The county does not have the resources to fund current road upgrades and maintenance, how then to pay for the connector project? • How does this serve mid-South County, since the roadway will terminate in the city of St. Louis? • How does this plan fit with future extensions of MetroLink? • All traffic study data needs to be made current to determine needs accurately. • MetroLink was supposed

to address the same need as the connector. Buckley went on to question the impact of the road project on Shrewsbury specifically. For example, the proposed elimination of the Interstate 44 entrance and exit on Shrewsbury Avenue – an idea she has spoken of approvingly – will have a large and unexplained impact on the city, she said. Buckley also proposed that the project go along the south side of Deer Creek, rather than intruding upon the newly resurgent shopping center on the north side. She also suggested that the road will not be able to carry the traffic it will attract, which could result in backups into streets in Shrewsbury. The board decided on an open format for the public hearing, with everyone in the same room.

Board Weighs 3 Options To Fund New Firehouse

by Linda Jarrett

The Rock Hill Board of Aldermen spent two-and-a-half hours in a work session on Tuesday hashing out options to fund a new firehouse. Fire Chief Kevin Halloran told the board that a bare bones house would cost approximately $1.3 million, although that number could reach $1.5 million with equipment and furnishings. The firehouse is currently temporarily behind City Hall at 320 Thornton Ave. It moved there from its eight-year temporary home at 1015 Charleville Ave. when CVS bought property for a pharmacy at the northwest corner of Manchester and McKnight roads in which the Charleville site is situated. The city requested a $1.5 million TIF to relocate the firehouse. That plan failed when the Webster Groves School District vigorously opposed the TIF. Carl Ramey, with financial consultant Stifel Nicolaus, outlined three options on how the city cound finance a new firehouse. One would be purchasing Certificates of Participation to be repaid at a time determined by the board. This is a type of financing where investors purchase a share of the lease revenues rather than the bonds being secured by those revenues. Many cities use COPs to finance projects, such as city halls and firehouses, Ramey explained The second would be going to the voters for a bond proposal, and the third is the city using its own reserves. “This (using reserves) would cause the most stress to the city,”

Citizens/Businesses: Protect Property Rights I have some questions for the Kirkwood Planning and Zoning commission concerning the proposed redevelopment at the corner of Manchester and Kirkwood Road (Lindbergh). I can understand the need to redevelop the vacant car dealerships. But why do they want to destroy the block of businesses immediately east of the former Mitsubishi dealership? If this block was mostly empty I could understand. However, I only saw one vacancy in this block. The rest were filled with taxpaying businesses. Why was the city attorney upset when a resident passed out flyers to the residents on Taylor Avenue? He complained that the resident was unin-

formed. Well, if the city is about to destroy the lives of the residents of Taylor Avenue, they have a right know. Why did they tell MoDot and the business owners but not the residents? Is it because the city P & Z does not believe the residents have property rights or perhaps they thought they could sneak their plan past the residents? Furthermore, the city attorney insisted that, “there was no plan.” Yet, all kinds of drawings and renderings were projected on the walls showing which properties would be taken and for what use. In addition, P & Z voted to send a recommendation to the city council to place a moratorium on development in the area. Sounds like a

plan to me. Finally, why does Kirkwood want to go through with this development when Rock Hill tried the same thing and it has many vacancies? It makes no sense to build more retail space when there is a large amount of non -leased space nearby. Furthermore, why are they driving out the existing businesses? In conclusion, the residents and businesses need to rise up against the city government and protect their property rights. Don’t give in. Bill Heger Rock Hill

Corrigan “Insulted All Men Who Are Fathers” In his Father’s Day editorial on June 14, Don Corrigan tried to be insightful and funny, but failed. He gleefully ranted about a survey done by Visiting Angels, citing its conclusion that one out of three children would choose Mom over Dad were one of them needing to move in during their declining years. Dad’s liabilities? He is more likely to make inappropriate remarks, is more sloppy, lazy and even hogs the TV remote. If Corrigan cared to do rigorous (rather than slapdash) research, he might have read “The Hazards of Being Male” by Herb Goldberg, “Father and Child Reunion” by Warren Farrell,

or the book I myself edited (available at the Kirkwood Public Library) “Men Freeing Men.” In these books Corrigan would have found that the faults and virtues of moms and dads pretty much even out. Although condemning the media for assaulting daddy on Father’s Day, Corrigan proceeded to do exactly that. He warns fathers to trim their nose hair and ear hair. They must be sure to keep food stains off their BBQ aprons. Also Corrigan reminded “dear old dad” to keep his hands off the TV remote. Then, with snarky sarcasm, he ended with, “Oh, yeah, Happy Father’s Day ... ”

Fix Deer Problem Yourself

Kirkwood A Great Place To Live

Resident Beth Gygax, who lives on Oak Tree Drive, told the Webster Groves City Council (Webster-Kirkwood Times, June 14) that “my neighborhood has deer that don’t go away and are ruining the gardens.” Oh my lands, your gardens are getting ruined? Call out the National Guard. Deer aren’t afraid of people? Run up to them banging pots lids together, they won’t like that. Get a dog, they won’t like that. Get some human hair and sprinkle it around, they won’t like that. There are lots of things you can do – yes you. Don’t spend our tax dollars because deer are eating your garden – take care of it yourself. If you have a deep freeze, buy a bow – nothing like some backstrap on the grill.

Grateful For Help After A Fall To the folks who came to my aid after my five-point landing on the walk in front of OK Hatchery on Saturday afternoon, June 15: Many, many heartfelt thanks. To OK Hatchery for furnishing the dressings, and especially to Terisa and Robin (I hope I have the names right) for their medical assistance for my scrapes and getting me on my feet. The offer in my parting words of thanks still stands: I’ll gladly devine your trees (gratis, of course), in appreciation to these good Samaritans! David M. Homeier Webster Groves

Dear Kirkwood Community and other friends: This past week has been most difficult. We have lost a son, grandson, brother, uncle and dear friend. Many lives have been affected by Brandon’s passing and our hearts go out to Keenan’s family. The exceptional amount of love and support we have felt has been most comforting. But above all, the young people have organized and rallied together making this heartbreaking time

I am writing this on Father’s Day. I guess this means I’m not lazy. I won’t be trimming my nose hair or ear hair or addressing hygiene issues since I’m already well-groomed. And I won’t be hogging the TV remote since our home doesn’t have a TV. But now I’m going to join my family for dinner. Maybe I can make it through the meal without uttering inappropriate remarks. This won’t be easy, since I’m not in the best of moods after the way Don Corrigan insulted all men (this includes me) who are fathers. Francis Baumli Des Peres

a little easier to bear. To see so many young people work together in such a time of mourning is powerful. We are proud to have raised and to continue to live and raise our family in Kirkwood. Thank you, Kirkwood. Thank you for your love. Thank you for your support. And above all, thank you for making this a great place to call home. The family of Brandon Allen Richards (Goon)

Listen To The Highway Patrol This is a public safety open letter to Kirkwood Superintendent Tom Williams and the Kirkwood School Board. Vehicle accidents caused by distracted driving are drastically on the increase. My wife (Nancy) and I were almost hit head on by a driver who was on a cell phone on Argonne in front of The Kirkwood Historical Society’ Mudd’s Grove. I laid on my horn and the young man looked up and swerved back into his lane just in time and then laughed – some joke! The Missouri Highway Patrol at Bolivar reports that deaths due to cell phone use on Missouri roads and highways now exceed deaths due to drunken driving. Cell phone use, or texting while driving, can turn your vehicle into your coffin. Someone else’s distracted driving can also turn our family vehicle into our coffin. To help reduce such accidents high schools, such as Kirkwood High School (KHS), should offer drivers’ education (DE) which teaches drivers to be safe, responsible and courteous. Rules such as staying 100 percent focused on driving; no cell phone use or texting while

driving and other rules for safe driving are taught. Kirkwood High School, unfortunately, stopped teaching DE because the school board believed it was too expensive. It instructs students who want DE to go to Webster Groves or Lindbergh high schools where it is offered. Many more KHS students would take DE if KHS offered it. Teaching DE off campus drastically reduces enrollment. All drivers need to be carefully taught to drive safely. Years ago I took DE at KHS at no cost during sixth period. It was an excellent and most valuable class. Webster Groves and Lindbergh high schools believe DE is most important to teach and so should KHS. Insurance companies also recognize the need for DE; those insurance companies give a reduced rate to students who have taken DE. For everyone’s safety’s sake, DE should be taught at KHS. Listen to The Missouri Highway Patrol. Dick Reeves Kirkwood

Rock Hill is considering offering low-income residents the opportunity to opt out of trash service. In the late 1990s, Rock Hill was plagued with a huge rat infestation that took months to eradicate because the city did not require trash pick up. Being part of a community entails more than living in it. It requires the responsibility of every citizen to ensure public health. Rock Hill’s mandatory trash pick up law needs to be upheld. If low-income citizens need help paying for trash removal, the city should start a dollar-plus program to help pay the trash bills of those who cannot. Every neighboring community has mandatory trash pick up laws. Let’s not repeat history in Rock Hill and be the only community that allows our neighborhoods to lose value due to trash problems.

World-Class Music In Webster

Monday, June 17, marked the final concert of the 3rd Annual Missouri Chamber Music Festival (MOCM). To have such a grand event here in Webster is truly a blessing. The various ensembles include the best musicians from across the country to include members of the St. Louis Symphony, the Boston Symphony and the Dallas Symphony. This years’ ambitious programming included works from the 17th century into the 21st to include a commissioned piece composed specifically for and performed by the Calyx Piano Trio. Artistic Directors Nina Ferrigno and Scott Andrew are already in the planning stages for next year’s event to take place around the same time next year. I would urge everyone to make it a point to attend any or all three of the concerts if they have an interest in Chamber Music. World-class music in Webster within walking distance. Wow! For more information about MOCM, please visit mochambermusic.org. Bob Roeder Webster Groves

Spinning Wheels, Going Nowhere In response to Bonnie Riverdahl’s June 14 letter, “People With Guns Kill People,” I submit that people with knives kill people, as do people with bombs, box cutters, swimming pools, cars, ropes, etc., etc., etc. Do we ban everything that could potentially kill? Those who are anti-Second Amendment rights need to just accept the fact that new and stronger gun control measures will never happen. The NRA isn’t the strongest voice in support of the Second Amendment, the people are. In a perfect world, there would be no criminals, no violence, no murders, no possibility of government tyranny and, therefore, no need to arm lawabiding citizens. Knowing that I have the right “to keep and bear arms” to protect myself makes living in our imperfect world less frightening. Take up another cause, you are spinning your wheels and going nowhere.

A full moon had bubbled up out of the Ionian Sea on the east coast of Sicily while I was waiting for my ride to Tripi. My German friend, Reinhart, arrived from the Catania airport in a rented Fiat 500 a little after 9 p.m. We headed north along the east coast of Sicily, passing through nearly 50 highway tunnels that burrow through coastal mountains. The highway swung to the west at Messina, just kilometers across from the toe of Italy’s boot. At Falcone, a north coast town on the Tyrrhenian Sea, we turned off of the highway. Headlights found roads that wound past olive groves and climbed toward mountain villages. In the village, the small Fiat barely negotiated the narrow, u-turn twists of stone streets. At a wide place, we parked.

The village of Tripi clings to the side of a small, conical mountain. As we began our walk down a block of steps toward the vacation house, the chimes of the church clock counted out the hours: 11 p.m. A few months earlier, I had received an invitation from friends in Berlin to meet at their vacation home in Sicily the last week of May. I looked at my calendar. I looked at accumulated airline miles. Yes. I could do this! Reinhart opened the house and turned on power and water. He opened the door to the terrazzo. Moonlight bathed the mountains above a deep valley. The lights of the village of Tripi clung to mountain escarpment below us. Reinhart’s wife, Angela, was born in this village. She and her family had lived in this house with her grandmother until they moved to Germany when she was a youngster. But deeply imbedded is memory of play on the rocks by the terrazzo above the deep abyss of the valley. After her grandmother died, the house fell into disrepair. When she married Reinhart

over a decade ago, they bought the house and renovated it into a vacation home. Angela, who works for one of the political parties in Berlin, has become obsessed with learning everything she can about her native Sicily. She even leads tour groups from Germany. Village of Tripi records go back to about 1300, but the town is believed to be older. The village clings to the side of a small, conical mountain that juts from the valley floor a few miles in from the sea. A major earthquake in Messina province in 1908 destroyed many ancient structures. On the mountain’s top, 2,000-feet above sea level, is the crumbling remains of a castle believed to date at least to 1154. It was probably built by Greeks who occupied Sicily in that era. A nearby Greek cemetery is believed to have been in existence several hundred years BC. One fine mid-day during my visit we hiked up the steep switchback trail to the castle. We rose past the cactus and the mespel and lemon trees and through a grove of pines. Wild flowers and butterflies lined the path. At the top, amid the crumbling walls of stone, we could see beyond the valley with its olive groves north to the Tyrrhenian Sea with its island volcanoes. To the southwest we could just make out the windblown steam from Etna, Sicily’s largest active volcano. Lizards darted along the path. The village, with its old stone houses (some crumbling), and its tiny, terraced gardens, clung to the mountainside below. We visited the lovely Sancturario di Tindari that overlooks the sea and the valley near Falcone. We traveled to the colosseum at Taormina. At Milazzo, we traveled by jet boat to Vulcano Island and traversed the steep trail to the towering volcano with its sulky, sulphurous steam above the island in an azure sea. At Forza d’ Agro, where the wedding scenes for “The Godfather” were filmed, a police officer gave a private tour. One evening, we were treated to a Sicilian dinner by Angela’s cousins from Messina at their Falcone beach house. The meal was capped with Dominica Cannavó’s oh-so-smooth limoncello. For the people who tend gardens and who look after neighbors and notice strangers in the quiet village of Tripi, surrounded by mountains, this is community. This is family. This is a place with roots tangled deep in rocks that still stand, despite the perils of the ages.

Where Community and Spirit Meet

a message from the mayor by art mcDonnell In between bike rides, the Kirkwood pool, and digging for worms, the grandkids wore me out during their wonderful three-week visit. In the middle of all that, I also took on the duties of President of the St. Louis County Municipal League, where I hope to work with other cities to make our region even better. So I’m keeping my column short this month. I’ll see you all at the Kirkwood Community Freedom Festival and Fireworks next Thursday, July 4. Have a happy holiday and a safe month!

Investing In Park Appeal Neighborhood-friendly Lockwood Park undergoes $300,000 facelift by Megan Favignano

Major upgrades have been made to the small, three-acre Lockwood Park, located in Webster Groves behind the College School at Newport Avenue and Newport Place. More improvements to the park may be on the way. Most of phase one park improvements were completed in December, with landscaping to the park just recently added. Phase one upgrades included creating separate play areas for children ages 2-5 and children ages 5-12. “A 12-year-old and a 2-year-old on the same playground can be tricky,” said Mike Oppermann, director of parks, recreation and community development for Webster Groves. Phase one also added an outdoor seating area with a fire pit and a trail that weaves through and around the park. “The trail provides secure access,” Oppermann said. “People of all abilities can now access the park through that trail.” Oppermann said he has seen people use the trail for exercise as well. The city used “stamped” concrete for the trail. As park visitors walk the trail they will see traces of leaves and other nature images imbedded in the concrete. Dave Surmon’s house backs up to the park. He said he likes the walking path because his two children, who attend The College School, walk through the park to school. “It (the trail) makes it more accessible and it makes it easy to get to the school,” Surmon said. “(And) aesthetically, it’s so much nicer.” Oppermann said just having parks in a neighborhood can have a positive impact on residents’ daily lives. “I look at the parks as the lungs of the city,” Oppermann said. “This chaotic concrete jungle out there that we’ve created, the parks are a refuge from that.” Webster Groves’ Capital Improvement Program (CIP) outlines the city’s investments during a five-year period (2011-2015). That outline slots completion of phase one of Lockwood Park for this year. “It was Lockwood Park’s turn. It was tired, to say the least,” Oppermann said. “It was out of sync with

at The College School, said the school uses the park in its curriculum and activities. As the park’s landscape began to change, the school’s kindergarten class documented those changes. Students wrote in journals, drew pictures and created models of Lockwood Park’s improvements. With the park located directly behind the school, Rusbarsky said teachers will continue to use the space in the fall. Although construction and the bulk of landscaping improvements are finished, Oppermann said landscaping is “always a work in progress.” The parks department roped off an area of the park and planted seeds for different types of native prairie grass. It will take a few years before that area looks like a prairie.

The money went to Lockwood Park’s first phase of renovations since the park was next on the city’s list for improvements. Oppermann said about 90 percent of the funding for the park’s renovations came from that grant. The other 10 percent came from the city’s tax for parks and recreation. He said the entire Lockwood Park project, from planning through construction, cost about $300,000. Adrienne Rusbarsky, director of admissions

Ramey said. “If you want to do cash, you have to analyze what your available revenues are. If you never go back into the bond market again, and you use your reserves, a lower bond rating won’t affect you.” Sandy Stephens, Rock Hill finance director, said using cash was a long term risk to the residents. “If your rating goes down, and in ten years you want to borrow money for something else, like a community center, it may affect them.” Stephens said the pension fund was another “serious issue” for the city.

Possible Phase Two Upgrades Should funding become available, the second phase of improvements to Lockwood Park could happen in three or four years, according to Oppermann, The second phase addresses parking and other items that Oppermann said will complement phase one improvements. However, the first phase represents the bulk of the park’s planned improvements. The parks and recreation department and city of Webster Groves will pursue grants toward further phase two improvements. However, since phase two depends on funding from grants, Oppermann said it is not a guarantee. Oppermann described the city’s approach to park renovation as “planned and professional.” Webster Groves hired Planning Design Studio (PDS) to design the improvements to Lockwood Park. PDS designed a master plan for the park with the theme “explore nature.” Webster Groves has renovated — at some level — 95 percent of its 17 parks in the last 15 years, Oppermann said. “People would see (upgrades to) Blackburn Park and Margaret Park and they would see Deer Creek Park and the question was always, ‘When is it our turn?’” Next on the list for major improvements, Memorial Park.

“The city should pay $250,000 a year to the pension fund. So we have two high priority issues. You have to decide what you want to address and where you’re going to take the money from, so that’s why you need to make a decision on that.” City Administrator George Liyeos said the city had been paying the pension fund for several years, but it was not in this year’s budget. “We’re going to revisit that since our cash position is such that during the summer months, we are low in revenue, and if a contribution is made, it will be made after we get our revenues from the

holiday season,” he said. Should the city use the $1.8 million in reserve, “it puts you in a difficult position from a cash flow perspective, and money is already tight.” Mayor Daniel DiPlacido said that while he, at first, supported a bond issue, he now thinks the city needs to “chip in.” Board members Bob Weider, Edward Mahon, and Graber supported the idea of a bond issue, while board members Philip Scherry and Ed Johnson did not. The board and staff will review the options presented to them and make a decision on how best to proceed.

Behind the scenes at City Hall

Tech-savvy GIS provides efficiencies, enhanced services In 2007 the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) division of the City’s Information Technology (IT) Department was launched. In six short years, it has digitized many of the city’s mapping and data functions. Today there is a greater ability to create maps, analyze and plan projects, and improve emergency response time. Departments such as Fire and Police and Public Works can provide services more quickly and efficiently. And, citizens can now easily find needed – and sometimes just plain fun – information about Webster Groves. City efficiencies High-resolution aerial photography with excellent spatial accuracy has provided tremendous benefits for the Webster Groves Fire and Police departments. Before GIS, the Fire Department had binders of “run cards” in each vehicle describing how to get from the firehouse to the hundred block of a street. Now, all fire hydrants and most building connections have been located and mapped; resources include: • web maps with address, intersection and hundred-block search capabilities; • digital and paper map books, in case the web maps are unavailable; • wall maps throughout the police and fire departments. GIS also is used to maintain tree inventories, especially in our business districts and parks. The Parks Department can evaluate the need to replace trees on city property and to remove trees at risk for falling. Property data obtained from St. Louis County and added

to the City’s GIS system can be accessed more easily and used by the Public Works and the Planning and Development departments, enabling staff to evaluate projects more quickly. This data includes zoning designations, lot sizes, property owners and historic district status. In addition, old plat books, surveys and ordinances have been scanned and are in the process of being linked to the property data. Community Information Citizens can now go to the City website to the map center, webstergroves.org/mapcenter, and locate many different types of information through maps. Information available includes maps of streets, zoning, trash collection, census population, historic districts, parks and street maintenance. Also, all the historic walks in Webster Groves are now mapped for those who want an interesting and healthy adventure. Add to these specific maps an interactive map of the City as well as its business districts. Another major benefit of the City’s website to citizens is the availability of online application forms for basic plumbing, mechanical and electrical permits, and more. Residents, business owners and contractors can save time through this online service. We suggest that you visit www.webstergroves.org and see what the City has to offer in our business districts, our parks and historic districts. Enjoy this online journey.

This interactive map of the City and surrounding area is available in the Map Center on the City’s website, webstergroves. org/mapcenter.

Work to begin on North Rock Hill

City Hall closed Independence Day

bOARDS & COMMISSIONS

Construction is scheduled to begin later this summer on improvements to North Rock Hill Road, from Kirkham Avenue to the city limits at Bismark Avenue. Gershenson Construction Co. will replace the deteriorated concrete pavement and curb, and widen the pavement to include two 11-foot driving lanes and two eight-foot parking lanes from Kirkham to Gore; and two 12-foot driving lanes and one eight-foot parking lane from Gore to Bismark. The existing sidewalk and driveway approaches and curb ramps will be replaced. In the parking lanes, interlocking, permeable concrete pavers will be installed that allow for storm water to filter through to a pipe that connects to the Metropolitan Sewer District storm drainage system. The Webster Groves City Council voted recently to accept Gershenson’s bid, the lowest base bid received, for $799,620. The bid came in at a considerable amount below the engineer’s estimate and the amount budgeted for the work ($1,029,840). The project will be funded through the ongoing Prop. W. bond issue for street improvements that was approved in 2010.

City Hall will be closed on Thursday, July 4 for Independence Day. Trash collection this week will be one day later in Thursday and Friday pickup areas.

The Webster Groves City Council is seeking applicants for the following: • Arts Commission • Business Development Commission (Seeking applicants from Crossroads, Yorkshire Plaza, or Owen Development.) • Crossroads Special Business District Advisory Commission (Must own property or operate a business within the District.) • Farmers Market Commission (Meets 1st Monday of Month - 8 A.M.) • Old Orchard Special Business District Advisory Commission (Must own property or operate a business within the District.) • Old Webster Special Business District Advisory Commission (Must own property or operate a business within the District.) • Parks & Recreation Commission • Personnel Board • Traffic Advisory Commission (Alternate Member) Applications are available at City Hall on the bulletin board, or apply online at www.webstergroves.org/ boardapplication. application deadline is July 12, 2013.

Kirkwood Teen Pursues Acting In LA Zach Waldrop nominated for 2013 Young Artist Award; has appeared in several TV series

by Alice Dunaway

For Kirkwood native Zach Waldrop, walking the red carpet was a reality instead of a dream. Waldrop, who uses the stage name Zach Louis, was nominated for a 2013 Young Artist Award in the category of Best Performance in a DVD Film for his performance in the movie “Golden Winter.” “The awards ceremony was fantastic,” Louis said. “I couldn’t have guessed that would have happened since I’ve only been out here for a year and a half and I got this huge nomination. I got to go to this huge ceremony and walk the red carpet before going into the press room. Then I went and watched the ceremony. Everyone in L.A. calls it the ‘kiddie Oscars’ because it’s so huge.” Louis moved to Los Angeles a year and a half ago to pursue his acting career. Since then he has appeared in episodes of “Modern Family,” “Boss” and “Family Game Night.” Before moving, Louis sang in the Kirkwood United Methodist Church choir for nearly four years, performed in plays at North Kirkwood Middle School and took a variety of dance and acting classes. “He really thought on his feet and added a lot to the things we did,” said Kathy White, Louis’ former choir teacher. “The kids enjoyed having him in class a lot. He was a lot of fun and I knew acting was what he wanted to do. He’s a very busy, motivated kid and I’ve missed him since he’s been gone.” Louis had always been interested in acting, but became serious about it after winning a modeling contract when he was 12 years old. “I’d always grown up watching a lot of TV and I performed in all the school plays I could,” he said. “I won a modeling contract and that gave us the idea that I could actually do this.”

Louis acted and modeled in the area, taking lessons with Carrie Houk before moving to Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, Louis noticed that auditions were a much bigger process. “When I first moved to California, it was intimidating going into big California auditions,” he said. “That got better for me though. If you go to auditions a lot then you get to know the people you are auditioning with and the casting directors, too.” After moving to California, Louis also began performing improv shows at the L.A. Comedy Connection Theatre after seeing a poster near his house. “Improv is great. You can be anything since when you’re up there the audience just randomly throws out suggestions, like you’ll have someone in the audience yell at you to be a chicken,” Louis said. “It’s really fun to interact with the audience since you can’t do that when you’re behind a camera.” Louis finds acting and improv ways to explore a variety of characters and personalities. “My favorite part about acting is you can be anything. You can be everything from a normal kid from a pirate to an alien,” he said. “When I was younger I always watched SNL and I love watching that because you got to do anything and they always were so many different characters.” To prepare for a role, Louis studies the script and tries to figure out what his character is all about. “I get the script and study, study, study it. I try to think about where the character’s coming from, what he wants, what he is walking into and how he feels about it,” Louis said. Despite the ups and downs of Los Angeles, Louis keeps a positive outlook on his career. “Acting is one of those things you can’t get upset about. If you don’t get an audition, you can’t worry about,” Louis said. “You have to know you did your best during your audition and you can’t get down on yourself if you don’t get it. You have to keep moving because something good will eventually happen.”

Kirkwoood’s New Redevelopment Area from page 4 Fusz auto dealership on the west to North Taylor Avenue on the east. It extends along Kirkwood Road from Manchester on the north to Wilson Avenue on the south. Battle lines on the council already have taken shape over the prospective redevelopment. Council members Gina Jaksetic and Gerry Biedenstein have been critical of how aspects of the study, and subsequent action by the council, have been handled. Biedenstein particularly has been miffed that PGAV and city officials interviewed commercial property owners in the study area, but not residents. His criticisms have prompted sparks more than once – particularly from Council Member Bob Sears – as he suggested a lack of interest in the views of residents.

Questions On Mayor’s Appointee To P & Z Commission Sears accused Biedenstein of “laughing at me” during the council’s protracted discussion of Mayor Art McDonnell’s nomination of Allen P. Klippel, Jr., to the planning commission. Biedenstein and Jaksetic did not tie Klippel’s appointment directly to the prospective redevelopment, but they questioned McDonnell’s method of making his selection. Jaksetic objected that the mayor recruited a candidate with whom he is personally acquainted, rather than selecting someone off the long list of volunteers for city service. “I know why the mayor chose Mr. Klippel; I just don’t know why he didn’t pick someone (also qualified)

from the list,” she said. Biedenstein said he thought “it sends the wrong message” to pick person who has made a career in commercial real estate at a time when a major redevelopment project could bring issues before the commission in which the interests of business and residential property owners are in conflict. McDonnell admitted during the discussion that he had dropped at least one candidate from consideration because he thought he might be susceptible to undue pressure from owners of residential property in the redevelopment area. However, both he and Klippel said their discussions about the appointment included no questions about the prospective redevelopment of the Manchester/

Kirkwood Road area. “That discussion did not take place,” Klippel said. Asked if the mayor might have known the answer anyway, due to a long-standing acquaintance, Klippel retorted that “I wasn’t asked the question, so I don’t know how he would know an answer.” Klippel remained unfazed by the rancor over his appointment, realizing no one was questioning his qualifications to serve on the commission. He is first vice president of Industrial Properties at CB Richard Ellis Inc. and a recent president of the board of directors for the Kirkwood School District Foundation.

Extraordinary Black Missourians from page 1 This book has 100 of them,” said Wright. “That’s a major reason why my wife, Sylvia, and I put this book together.” Wright was an assistant junior high school principal in the Webster Groves School District in the 1970s. By the time his retirement was nearing in 2008, he was serving as interim superintendent for St. Louis Public Schools. He also is a past president for trustees of St. Louis Community College. “I’ve always loved history, but I only recently started teaching it as an adjunct professor at Fontbonne,” said Wright. “History has been a hobby forever for me. My interest in history really started when I joined the Negro History Club when I was a student at Sumner High School.” Wright’s research for his new book led him to folks like Cathay Williams, who became the first female Buffalo Soldier. Better known Missourians in his book include Dred Scott, Annie Malone, Maya Angelou, Arthur Ashe, Lou Brock, Ron Himes. Langston Hughes, Scott Joplin, Nathan Young, Red Foxx, Nellie and many more. Closer to home, some of those important black Missourians are buried in

James Milton Turner, a leader in African-American education, civil rights and foreign diplomacy during the decades after the Civil War, is buried in Sappington Cemetery State Historic Site in Crestwood.

Theodore McMillian, a grandson of slaves, was the first AfricanAmerican judge in the city of St. Louis, and later was named by President Jimmy Carter to the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. McMillian filed a suit to end segregation at the municipal pool in Webster Groves. all photos this page courtesy of Mercantile Library the Sappington Cemetery State Historic Site in Crestwood. They include Moses Dickson and James Milton Turner, who both battled against the enslavement of AfricanAmericans. Rev. Dickson was founder of the Knights of Liberty, which grew to 150,000 men who fought with Union forces in the Civil War. After the war, Dickson helped found Lincoln University in Missouri, pushed for suffrage for state blacks, and toured Missouri to draw attention to crimes of violence against blacks. Turner was educated in clandestine schools in St. Louis before the Civil War and joined in the war effort under Col. Madison Miller. After the war, Turner fought for public schools for blacks until appointed as ambassador to Liberia by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1871. Contemporary Leaders More contemporary leaders who are profiled in Wright’s book include Theodore McMillian, a grandson of slaves, who went on to graduate at the top of his class from St. Louis University Law School. “He wasn’t out of law school long before Benny Gordon in Webster Groves called on him for help,” said Wright. “The new Webster municipal pool was declared for whites only, and Gordon asked McMillian to file a law-

suit to end the segregation.” This was one of the first of many successful civil rights cases for McMillian, who went on to become the first African-American judge for the city of St. Louis, later nominated by President Jimmy Carter to the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Although McMillian won in court in 1950, Webster Groves shut the pool down rather than deal with the “problems of mixed swimming.” It wasn’t until city leaders were ousted in elections in 1953 that the pool was opened again and integrated. A well-known political figure, whose 1st Congressional District took in Rock Hill and parts of Webster Groves, is William Lacy Clay Sr. Wright said Clay merits a place in his book as the founder of the nation’s Congressional black caucus. Clay was active in civil rights activities both before and during his 16 terms as a U.S. Congressman. He retired in 2001, after controversial stands for labor, for affirmative action and against the Vietnam War. Sports and entertainment figures also find a place in Wright’s book, including Josephine Baker, Count Basie, Albert King, as well as James “Cool Papa” Bell, Sonny Liston and Satchel Page. Webster Groves High School grad Ivory Crockett also gets some attention. “Ivory Crockett was an Olympic

star and became known as the world’s fastest human for running the 100-yard dash in 9 seconds in 1974,” said Wright. “His record will stand forever, because 100-yard dashes are no longer held now.” Role Models Important “Role models are important for everyone,” said Wright. “When we give African-American kids these accomplished models, it makes them feel good about themselves. When you feel good about yourself, you are just naturally going to do better in life. “But it’s not just about black kids,” added Wright. “It’s about knowing our history. How sad it is now that Jay Leno goes out and asks basic questions about our history, and Americans are clueless.” Ivory Crockett is the world’s fastest man in the 100-yard dash, a record that will stand forever. Crockett was born in Webster Groves. In his book’s introduction, Wright notes the first African-Americans came to Missouri almost 300 years ago to mine lead for the French. For half of those years, they were slaves. For another 100 years, they were secondclass citizens. Wright argues it is a marvel that so many succeeded, after such cruel beginnings Wright said our first black U.S. President, Barack Obama, is a role model for many black youngsters. Wright can only shake his head at media outlets that seem to tear the president down on a 24-7 basis. “Change is hard,” said Wright. “It’s not really that surprising that there is so much animosity out there. Change is a long process that involves anger, denial and finally acceptance.”

Kirkwood has garnered kudos from a national municipal utility organization for the efficient operation of its electric department. The American Public Power Association (APPA) June 18 presented Kirkwood Electric with its E.F. Scattergood System Achievement Award. The award is conferred annually to a municipal power program that has distinguished itself by innovative operations. The award was presented to Mark Petty, director of Kirkwood Electric, at the APPA’s annual conference in Nashville, Tenn. The APPA cited Kirkwood’s innovative strategy of purchasing power on the open market, departing from its tradition of relying on a single provider, Ameren Electric Co. The change, introduced by Petty, is credited with returning Kirkwood Electric to profitability after two years of deficits. The open-market policy paid immediate dividends when put into full force on May 31, 2011, the day the single-source contract with Ameren expired. Kirkwood signed a contract

with American Electric Power saving the city $600,000 over the following 12 months, Petty reported at the time. The city was able to cancel a planned rate increase and provide a slight reduction instead. Meanwhile, profitability in the electric department has regained its former health, Petty reports. “We had a $4 million margin for the fiscal year that ended March 31, 2012,” he said. “For the fiscal year that ended March 31, 2013, we had a $3 million margin. “We’re on track to replenish the cash account we had for our reserve fund. It’s also allowed us to make capital improvements in the infrastructure while we’re in an economic downturn. You can’t do much better than that,” he added. Kirkwood’s electric rates are marginally lower than those paid by Ameren customers, and among the lowest in the nation, Petty said. Petty, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was an electrical engineer and director of fuel purchases for the municipal electric department in Detroit, Mich., before taking over as director of the Kirkwood Electric in 2006. Petty is scheduled to present the APPA award to the city council at its July 18 meeting.

Dirty Wars Kent’s Grade: B Genre: Documentary Rated: This film is not rated.

KENT’S TAKE: Author and investigative reporter, Jeremy Scahill, undertakes an eye-opening journey into the underbelly of modern warfare. Scahill begins his journey in Afghanistan while reporting for U.S. television. Embedded with a U.S. patrol unit, he finds that he is being insulated from the real war as he hears snippets about NATO night raids. Hearing of one raid in a distant town, he leaves the green zone (a safe zone for allied troops) to travel into the unprotected areas to interview family members of victims. While there, he learns that American troops raided, and killed their target, a Mr. Daoud along with two pregnant women. They described soldiers prying bullets out of walls and the victims to cover their tracks. Witnesses were then taken and interrogated/tortured to further cover the evidence. Returning home, Scahill appeared before the House Judiciary Committee requesting a full investigation, but his request fell on deaf ears. Scahill eventually chances upon a photo of Vice Admiral William McGraven, the commander of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). The deeper he digs, the more he discovers that JSOC is running covert operations throughout the Middle East – 1,700 raids in one month alone. The targets are high priority Taliban operatives, but the victims of these raids and drone attacks are often women and children. According to Matthew Hoh, a former high profile State Department employee, “JSOC has taken over the war.” What Scahill also learns is that JSOC has been active in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as outside of the stated battlefield in countries such as Yemen. In Yemen in 2009, a JSOC raid/drone attack killed 46 people, many of whom were women and children. The U.S. claimed there were Taliban training camps, but witnesses claim the attack hit one of the poorest regions and simply killed innocents. This convoluted, complex documentary takes viewers on an interesting and ambiguous journey.

While Scahill’s investigation takes him on a frustrating, depressing and sometimes dangerous journey into the covert anti-terrorist operations carried out by JSOC, the yin of protecting U.S. citizens by bringing the war to the Taliban’s doorstep is countered by the yang of the collateral damage of young, innocent victims as well as fueling anger within the populace that grows more terrorists in future generations. To further muddy the waters he delves into the story of Al Aulaqi, an American citizen born and raised in the U.S. who slowly became a terrorist after 9/11. His story is one of a typical American childhood with trips to Disney World and sports events, but as he experienced the hatred and prejudice of citizens after the 9/11 attack, he began turning toward radical Muslim philosophies for guidance. Eventually he began speaking out against American interests and encouraged attacks upon Americans. Al Aulaqi soon found himself on JSOC’s target list. An American citizen was now on the U.S. list for targeted assassinations. While Scahill’s investigation unearths ,as the title states, “dirty wars,” his insinuations seem rather naive. Is he condemning our government? Its tactics in this war? Or the philosophy of drone attacks coupled with covert night raids? Is he condemning the U.S. government’s lack of moral vision? As a viewer, I find myself wanting to ask Jeremy Scahill: What solutions do you suggest for this situation? Do we fully pull out of the Middle East theater? Do we only attack known/confirmed targets with troops, which is the only way to minimize collateral damage? Is there a middle ground? And is that middle ground an acceptable risk? The message of this documentary is the exact dilemma the Bush and Obama administrations have faced for the past 12 years. At what length should the government go to ensure its citizens’ safety? Is authorizing the assassination of a U.S. citizen acceptable if he is plotting to kill more Americans? And in order to keep terrorist activities to a minimum, is it necessary to play by the enemies’ rules? These are the questions that are going to define our future as generations of Iraqis, Afghans and Yemenis either embrace the idea of democracy or that of revenge upon the American interlopers who killed their families.

Students Hold Fundraiser For Families Affected By Tragedy by Jaime Mowers

In the wake of a recent Kirkwood graduate’s shooting death and murder charges filed against one of his closest friends, students are pulling together to raise money for the families of Brandon Richards and Keenan Miller. Brandon Richards, 18, was shot and killed on June 17 in Kirkwood. His friend, Keenan Miller, 18, and another person, Nicholas “Nick” Lunceford, were charged the following day with second-degree murder, armed criminal action and attempted delivery/distribution/sale of a controlled substance. Friends of Richards and Miller are holding a car wash on Saturday, June 29, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., at the Kirkwood Early Childhood Center, 100 N. Sappington Road. There will also be food

and games for kids at the car wash. The cost is $5 per car and additional donations are welcome. The proceeds will benefit the Richards and Miller families. “Brandon and Keenan were best friends and we want to do something to help their families,” said 2013 Kirkwood graduate Meghan Tinkham, who is helping organize the fundraiser. “We know how Richards hard it is on the families and we want them to know that we support them through everything.” Tinkham said at the end of the car wash Saturday evening, students will hold a musical tribute to Richards.

“Show-Me Creativity” Is Theme for the 2013 Parade Thursday, July 4 at 10 a.m.

• Begins at Lockwood and Selma, ends at Elm and Glendale (Memorial Park) • Theme: “Show-Me Creativity” in honor of Webster Groves being named the 2013 Missouri Arts Council’s State Creative Community Award for promotion of the arts and art education. • Sponsored by Shur-Way Auto Body Parade Route The parade travels along a twomile route through the streets of Webster Groves and draws a crowd of thousands of spectators with more than 80 units. See map below.

The parade begins at Lockwood and Selma and travels west on Lockwood. It turns south on South Gore and travels down Gore to Big Bend. It then turns east on Big Bend and turns one last time south on Elm Avenue. The parade ends at Memorial Park (at the intersection of Elm Avenue and Glendale Road).

Marshals Educators from the Webster Groves School District who promote creativity in our youth through music, art, drama and exploration will be the Grand Marshals in this year’s parade. Special thanks to Sarah Booth Riss, Superintendent of Schools at the Webster Groves School District, for her help in coordinating this group. In addition, volunteers from Webster Groves Masonic Temple will serve as Parade Marshals again this year, lining up units, enforcing security measures and securing the course. Parade Judges Judges for the parade are: • Ginger Fletcher Krueger is Managing Director of the Webster Groves Art & Air Fair -the “artists’ art fair” that just celebrated its 10th anniversary. The juried fair, held the first week of June every year, continues to attract quality artists in every category. • Baker Symes is an acclaimed musician with three bands that often perform in Webster Groves: Ticket

to the Beatles, Musyc, and Baker Songs for Children. He also works at Centerpoint adolescent outpatient program as a licensed professional counselor. • Steve Woolf has been the Artistic Director of the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis for over 25 years. The Rep is in its 47th season with comedy, drama, mystery, music and more! Judges have the honor of selecting parade units to receive awards in the various categories listed below. Units should include adequate signage to be considered for awards, which will be given at the July 16th City Council meeting. Parade Awards For each category there will be a first place (Best) and an honorable mention (Outstanding) winner awarded. The categories are as follows: Children’s Entry, Civic Entry, Classic Entry, Commercial Entry, Neighborhood Entry, Performing Entry, Best Theme, Visiting Entry and Novelty Unit and Special Judges’ Awards (three awards for deserving units that impress the judges for various reasons.) Safety Of course, safety is of paramount importance, but parades are inherently risky, so it’s important that parade participants and spectators do all they can to help. The parade of over 80 units travels along a two-mile route through the streets of Webster Groves and draws spectators numbering in the tens of thousands. With regard to parade units, several safety measures are in place and enforcement will be without exception.

Times file photo by Diana Linsley Each sizeable motorized unit will have wheel walkers, whose job it is to keep the path clear in front and on the sides of the unit. Parade participants will not be allowed to throw candy or other items from a moving unit; however, they may have walkers (separate from the wheel walkers) who will hand the items to spectators on the sidewalks. There will be no throwing of water balloons or large super soakers allowed from any parade unit or spectators. Along the parade route, parents and adults should keep close track of their children and ensure that they are not endangering themselves by running in front of a parade vehicle to get a piece of candy or trinket. Remain on the curb or behind it. Safety is everyone’s job. Please help by doing what you can.

Webster Groves Lions Club Hosts 88th Year Of Carnival & Barbecue • July 3 through July 6 on Lions Athletic Fields at Memorial Park (Elm and I-44) • See Schedule of Events on page 3 for hours of operation 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 88th 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. Bring Old Eyeglasses and Used Sunglasses To The Fairgrounds An ongoing project of the Webster Lions and other Lions Clubs is the collection of old eyeglasses and used sunglasses for recycling and for reuse by people in Central and South America. In the midst of having fun and enjoying the July 4 Fairgrounds, everyone is urged to bring and to donate old eyeglasses and used sunglasses at the Lions Club Booth in the Fairgrounds midway. These donated glasses will be recycled and become a “Gift of Sight” to needy people in other countries. 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 reasonably-priced

food such as full slabs of ribs, half slabs of ribs, pork steaks, chicken, rib tips, rib eye steaks, bratwursts, hamburgers, hot dogs, baked potatoes, corn on the cob, baked beans, and more. 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 53-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. 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 Li-

This will be the 88th consecutive year that the Webster Groves Lions Club will hold its summer-time carnival and barbecue. Times file photo by Diana Linsley

ons Club. The overall chairperson for the Webster Lions 2013 July 4 Carnival and Barbecue is Teddi Speeler. 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 contributions from the Lions Club of Webster

2013 Miss Webster Groves Pageant Friday, July 5 - 7:30 - 9 p.m.

Webster Groves Aquatic Center

(Webster Groves Recreation Complex in the event of rain) An ever-popular event associated with Community Days is the Miss Webster Groves Pageant. The goal of the pageant is to select a well-rounded representative of the City of Webster Groves, who may appear at various activities throughout the year. Each candidate is qualified to be the next teen ambassador, Miss Webster Groves 2013. Candidate Qualifications Candidates are Webster Groves residents entering or exiting grades 10-12. They will be judged in the areas of interview, poise and appearance, sportswear, evening wear and contribution to the community, with some weight given to grade point average with curriculum justification. Mistress of Ceremonies Miss Webster 2011Cari Hill will serve as Mistress of Ceremonies this year. Cari is a graduate of Webster Groves High School and just completed her first year at William Jewell College. Cari is dual majoring in political science and communications. Judges Judges this year are Missouri State Representative Jeanne Kirkton; Business Development Commission Member Lee Moss; past Miss Websters Melinda Bond (1991), Sara Krenski (2001) and Jodie Schutt (2007); and Webster Groves/Shrewsbury/Rock Hill Area Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Rebecca Olsen. Pageant Entertainment Maple Bacon will perform for the pageant this year. Maple Bacon is a St. Louis originated blues-rock band consisting of Dan Nesbitt on vocals and rhythm guitar, Scott Couch on drums, Matt Foley on bass, and Carson Mann on lead guitar and vocals. The flavor of Maple Bacon has been described as jammin’ yet groovy and the group never fails to entertain. With such covers from artists like The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles and Stevie Wonder, it’s no wonder why the fans can’t get enough bacon. The group can be seen live every other Tuesday at Venice Cafe so come on down and bring your musical appetite! Jessica Ruhlin again serves as the choreographer of the opening number for her third year. A Webster native, Ruhlin is a professional dancer with Common Thread Contemporary Dance Company. She has danced with the Louisville Ballet Company, Missouri Ballet Theatre, at the Muny and Stages St. Louis, and for various companies in New York City. She has been invited to perform at the International Ballet Competition and to both dance and choreograph for Regional Dance America. Ruhlin teaches dance and musical theatre at COCA, as well as movement therapy in health clinics. Pageant Contributors and Sponsors The 2013 pageant would not be possible without all the community support it receives. Each Miss Webster candidate is sponsored by a local merchant or organization. Huge thanks go out to each and every candidate’s sponsor. Please support the following merchants who have so graciously sponsored the pageant: Embroider the Occasion, Fizzy’s Soda Fountain and Grill, Frontier Wealth Advisors of Raymond James, Gerber Chapel Funeral Home, Lubeley’s Bakery & Deli, Prudential Advantage Realtors, Summit Jewelers, Tresses and Toes Salon. In addition to candidate sponsors, Miki McKee Koelsch photographed the candidates seen here, and professional photographer and artist Abigail Garcia will take photographs of the pageant.

by Linda Jarrett

When Glendale’s Maura Schiller awakes on Mother’s Day, she will be served a beautiful breakfast made by her children — who believe her to be “the greatest Mom ever.” Maura and her husband, Tom, have three children, two with special needs. Elise, 14, was born with a rare genetic condition, brancho-oculo-facial syndrome, which left her hearing and visually impaired. She is now losing all of her sight in one eye. Tommy, 10, was diagnosed at age 2 with autism. By the time the Schillers got the diagnosis, Maura was pregnant with her third child, Timmy. “I worried the whole time,” Maura said, noting that the chances of having another autistic child were high. “But Timmy (now 7) was born normal and healthy.” Having three children in itself brings challenges, but when two have special needs, those challenges multiply. Managing their medical appointments, along with school schedules, missed buses, baseball practices and games Maura Schiller cuddles on the couch keep both Schillers on their toes. with her three children, Elise, 14, cont. p. 8
