“Life does not rely on art to continue, and in turn, art often eschews the routines we create, but when the two cross on a city street, both are enriched and enlivened as the space between is closed with the help of the other.” The quote is drawn from East Coast photographer Ross Mantle in his closing notes from the new coffee table-size book, “Please Touch: Sculpture for a City.” Mantle has photographed 53 specific sculptures installed throughout the St. Louis area under guidance from the Gateway Foundation. The 183-page book, produced by the foundation and published by Prestel, captures vivid, glossy and colorful photographs of sculptures designed by worldrenowned artists. Additionally, the book is a commemoration of the foundation’s 30 year existence. “Please Touch” includes 23 photographed sculptures from the

TWO SECTIONS

foundation’s multi-million dollar project, Citygarden, a 24-hour public art display that opened in 2009. It is located between Market and Chestnut streets on the north and south, and Eighth and 10th streets on the east and west in downtown St. Louis. The other 30 sculptures featured in the book were shot at various locations

in the city and county, including Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, Webster and Washington universities and St. Louis Community College-Meramec to name a few. “Please Touch” is dedicated to the late Peter Fischer, who was the chairman of the foundation and brainchild of Citygarden. Fischer

and St. Louis-based signs designer Kiku Obata orchestrated the initial groundwork of “Please Touch” after the photographs were taken by Mantle in 2014. Fischer died in July 2015, before the book was published. “He is the godfather of this book,” said Paul Wagman, a senior cont. p. 10A

Women Will Gather To “Celebrate The Vote” Suffragists to gather at downtown St. Louis location where women protested 100 years ago for their right to vote by Don Corrigan

Saturday, Sept. 3 Central Library 1301 Olive St., 10 a.m.

One-hundred years ago, suffragists converged on downtown St. Louis wearing white dresses and sashes that said, “Vote For Women.” On Sept. 3, 2016, the white dresses and sashes will be back at the Central Public Library, 1301 Olive St.

This time the women will be celebrating their hard-earned right to vote, rather than seeking the right to participate in American democracy. The suffragists saw the realization of their dream with the U.S. Congress’s passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Linda McDaniel, a co-director for the local League of Women Voters (LWV), said St. Louis is the perfect location to celebrate the work of the suffragists. The Saturday, Sept. 3 event is called “Celebrate the Vote” and gets underway at 10 a.m. with music and costumes. The reenactment of the white sash

parade will begin at 10:30 a.m. to be followed by patriotic speakers. The library site and parade area will include food trucks, “girl band” music and voter registration tables. “The suffragists met here in St. Louis quite often a century ago,” said McDaniel. “They demonstrated and made their presence known with their sashes and white dresses at the 1916 Democratic Presidential Convention in St. Louis. It had an impact. “Later, in 1919, they met at the Renaissance Hotel and began planning what should be on their agenda next cont. p. 8A

HOW TO REACH US

Back To School & A Fresh Start by Katy Miller kfmiller99@yahoo.com

This back-to-school season started poignantly for me, with my fifth grade daughter announcing that she really didn’t like the clothes at GapKids anymore and could we shop for a firstday-of-school outfit at someplace a little more grown up? For me, this was some version of, “Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.” In fact, this marks the first school year ever in which I didn’t choose the First Day of School Outfit for either my daughter or my seventh grade son. Just like any New Year’s custom, the start of a new school year means a fresh start. For us this year it was an out with the old (Mom) attitude and in with the new. I remember going through the same transformation my kids are in now … when I started a subscription to Seventeen magazine, poring over the pictures of fresh-faced teens in oversized Benetton rugby shirts and stirrup pants. Believing Seventeen to be a better source of wisdom than my mother led to several years of First Day of School Outfits which were

quite sweaty, as they were probably meant for teenagers living in upstate New York in October, rather than St. Louis in early September. Summer creates a hiatus in “normal” life. School’s out. We slow down. We go away for summer vacation. As a kid, you might be away from home and family for the first time at summer camp. When I went away to summer camp for the first time, I met kids from Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Chicago. They listened to REM and the Violent Femmes. Some girls shaved their heads on one side and let the other side grow long, so they could flip it out of their eyes. I found out about the existence of Cheez Whiz in other kids’ care packages (my mom was very health-conscious). I came home from camp, slightly transformed – not just with a mixtape of edgy music, but some 14-year-old version of a broader world view. During a gap or space in what is “normal,” we often change. So, backto-school is a season of tension – it is

the transition from one thing to another, it’s the pull. Not quite the long, heady season of summer (for a kid in St. Louis, that’s sticky days, hours at the pool, the freedom of staying out till dusk and bike riding with friends) and fall’s crisp mornings, the smell of falling leaves and fireplaces, the farmers markets and churchyards full of pumpkins. Sometimes we may lull ourselves into believing: This is who I am now and I’m done. Now, I am the girl who dyes the tips of her hair blue. Now, I am the dad who stays home with the kids. When we are young, we tend to think that our latest change is our last. I will always love to wear Benetton rugbies and stirrups pants. As adults, we know that life is our school. We are always back-to-school. We are who we are today, but like the seasons, we are also and always becoming.

New Plan Proposed For Starbucks Public hearing on proposal in Reliance Bank before board of aldermen Sept. 12 by Linda Jarrett

With the Starbucks and Reliance Bank issue poised to be on the Sept. 12 agenda, the Des Peres Board of Aldermen on Monday approved an agreement with the Lochmueller Group for a site plan review of the proposed coffee house at 11781 Manchester Road. Reliance Bank had approached the city in February and asked for a permit to put a Starbucks in the bank

building which was being redeveloped. Even though the planning and zoning committee had approved the request, residents on Vinetta Drive and in Harwood Hills came out in force to oppose the plan. In April, the board denied issuing a permit to Reliance Bank, citing that additional noise and traffic issues would have an adverse impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. Reliance Bank sued the city, and in June, the St. Louis County Circuit Court found in favor of the bank and ordered Des Peres to issue a permit for them to operate a Starbucks on that site. The city appealed the ruling. Last month, Reliance Bank

submitted a revised master plan with a reconfigured Starbucks for the city’s consideration and the city put its appeal on hold while it reviewed the new plan. The plan moved the order window from the rear of the building to the west side to cut down on noise, and made changes to the Manchester Road entrance by making it larger. Hours of operation were reduced from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Originally, the plan was to close at 2 a.m. They proposed a curb cut on Vinetta Drive, both as a by-pass exit

Mark Zimmer Gets To Work On Council He fills two-year term vacated by Tim Griffin after he was elected mayor in April by Dennis Hannon

After playing short-handed for three months, the Kirkwood City Council is back at full strength, having duly sworn-in on Aug. 18 its newly elected sixth member, Mark Zimmer. For Zimmer, who was elected Aug. 2 to fill the unexpired council term of Mayor Tim Griffin, it was a literally a step up. He has sat through scores of council meetings in the audience seats on the floor of the council chambers. Now he will sit on the council dais, which is elevated about two feet above the floor. Griffin was elected mayor April 5, vacating a council seat he had held since 2014. Zimmer now will fill the two years remaining on Griffin’s term. After that, he will be eligible to run for two full terms. The biggest difference in serving as a member will be listening and watching on behalf of the whole city,

rather than just for his own information, Zimmer said. “You want to try and ask questions that citizens might ask, and address concerns that citizens might Mark Zimmer have,” he said. And keeping an open mind on issues will be a bit different as a council member. “Now I have to do it; I have to prove it,” Zimmer said. Two mind-twisting zoning issues arose during Zimmer’s first meeting, raising questions that might be brushed off by a layman as too boring (see sidebar on council meeting). But a council member has no such luxury. It emerged in discussing a zoning proposal for a new mixed-use condominium development across Madison Avenue from city hall – an issue which, until recently, had been on the council’s back burner for several months – that handicapped parking spaces in the development would be 8-by-17.5 feet, with a 5-foot

egress area for passengers to exit their vehicle. That’s in compliance with federal standards, which normally are regarded as quite stringent. But in Kirkwood, the standard for handicapped parking slots is 9-by-19 feet, with a 5-foot egress area. No one on the council could recall when or why the rule was adopted. Some council members considered the difference negligible; some considered it a serious obstacle to the project. Council Member Paul Ward declared the development appropriate for Kirkwood. Council Member Maggie Duwe flatly stated “you have to meet the Kirkwood code.” The council put the issue back on hold until its Sept. 1 meeting. Meanwhile, Zimmer will contemplate what to do on what might be his first contested vote. What he will ask, Zimmer said, is “what’s the reason that the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards are not sufficient enough for Kirkwood? If I were going to make the standards more stringent than the ADA, I would want to know the reason.”

Council Delays Review Of Condo Plan To Sept. 1 Meeting by Dennis Hannon

The Kirkwood Council decided once again to kick the can down the road on a decision on a preliminary plan for a 3.5-story luxury condominium structure at 201 S. Kirkwood Road at Madison Avenue directly across from city hall. “I think this is a nice development; it’s just trying to put a round peg into a square hole, or vice versa,” said Council Member Nancy Luetzow. She pressed several objections to the project, including what she called its “parking deficit,” as well as the setback proposed for the condo building’s front on Madison Avenue and setbacks for the parking area on the west side of the property. Council Member Maggie Duwe objected that the parking area planned for the structure did not offer handicapped spaces compliant with Kirkwood requirements. The spaces did, however, comply with federal standards set down in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The council voted 5-2 (Luetzow and Duwe opposing) to keep a resolution accepting the preliminary plan alive for another two weeks meaning it will be on the Sept. 1 agenda. Rezoning The council also deferred consideration until September a bill to rezone a 4.62-acre site on the western edge of the city, along I270. The rezoning would be from R-1 single-family residential to R-3 single family, using a community unit plan permitting the use of flexible lot lines. The property, to be called Emerson Estates, reassembles four parcels – 425 Emerson Ave., 4020 Boaz Ave. and 2017 and 2029 Lily Ave. – into eight lots averaging about 17,000-square feet. The existing lots on Boaz and 2029 Lily were added to the city in a voluntary annexation in December. Though the development involves complex runoff management and complicated access issues, it was approved unanimously by the planning and zoning commission June 16 and endorsed by the only property owner to address the council’s public hearing.

Aldi Given Green Light For Store At Center Of Kenrick Plans call for store to open in October by Dennis Hannon

The developers of an eight-acre site east of Kenrick Plaza, christened The Center at Kenrick (formerly Lower Kenrick), now have the green light to begin building the Aldi store. Plans are to renovate the existing building in time for an October opening. The Shrewsbury Board of Aldermen – in a meeting especially rescheduled for Aug. 22 to vote on the issue – approved the special use permit the developers – the Midwest Players Investment Fund, LLC – needed to get their project rolling. As a result, Midwest Players “are

still on track for an opening of Aldi between Oct. 3 and Oct. 15, and hope to have the remainder of the project done by the middle of November,” said Board Member Mike Travaglini. The project will occupy a refurbished 80,000-square-foot building just east of the Walmart Supercenter in Kenrick Plaza. Aside from Aldi, Midwest plans to lease space to several smaller retail operators not yet named. The Aldi store will create a kind of “grocery row” along Watson Road, extending from the food store in Walmart, east to the Dierbergs store at MacKenzie Pointe. There is worry in some quarters that cut-throat competition might develop, Travaglini said. He noted, however, that the three stores seem to serve

different functions for customers, and at different price points. “A lot of people seem quite concerned about Aldi coming in,” Travaglini said. “And a lot of people are quite excited about it.” All things considered, “we’re glad to have Midwest Players as part of our community,” he added. Kenrick Plaza Bonds In other action, the board approved the issue of $17.5 million in revenue bonds to continue financing of the Kenrick Plaza development, which includes the Walmart Supercenter. The bonds are to be repaid from earnings from retail operations in the plaza, though the city would become obligated in case of catastrophic

failure. For that reason, the bonds are carried as a liability on the city’s books. St. Vincent Parking Restrictions The board also gave final approval to parking restrictions along both sides of St. Vincent Avenue at Murdoch Avenue and Nottingham Avenue. Police Chief Jeff Keller said the change – along with the partial demolition of a city-owned fence along both intersections – should improve traffic safety. Enclosures on Front Porches The board gave a first reading to a bill that would permit construction of

Community Helps Bring In Balanced Budget As we begin a new school year, I want to offer my heartfelt thanks to the large number of students, parents, staff and community members for your many ideas to help us address our financial needs. Our focus is to continue supporting students while being sensitive to the taxpayers of our community. We implemented some of the budget-cutting suggestions, which resulted in cutting $5 million from our operating expenses. The board approved a balanced budget for the 2016-17 school year. Unfortunately, some of the ideas (such as those mentioned in last week’s letter in the Webster-Kirkwood Times) may

sound good, but are not feasible or do not offer a long-term solution to our financial situation. For example, redirecting funds from our dedicated maintenance and technology budgets would result in deferring maintenance and technology needs. This type of short-term solution would not be beneficial to the overall success of our students. A complete and specific response to the suggestions made in last week’s paper can be found by visiting the district’s website at www.kirkwoodschools.org. We encourage continued dialogue and invite everyone to our next Meet, Inquire and Collaborate (MIC) for Student Learning session

on Wednesday, Oct. 5, at 7 p.m. The event will take place in the north gym at Nipher Middle School, 700 S. Kirkwood Road. Please visit the district’s website www.kirkwoodschools.org and click on the MIC logo on the right. Information can also be found on the KSD YouTube Channel or Facebook (search for Kirkwood School District) or on Twitter @ kwoodschools. Thank you all for your continued suggestions and support of our students. Darnel Frost, President Kirkwood School District Board of Education

Farewell & Thanks From Bookshop’s Foy It is with great sadness that I must close the Webster Groves Bookshop at the end of this month. I know that this feels sudden (and it is), and I wanted to provide some clarification to our loyal customers who have expressed such heartfelt gratitude and sadness since we announced the closing of the shop just a few weeks ago. The bookshop has been a part of my family’s life for more than 30 years of the shop’s 51 years, and has been a constant source of personal joy and a rewarding connection to the local community. I have always felt that the shop was not owned by anyone in particular, but that

I was simply taking care of it and ensuring that it remained a warm and inviting gathering place around books for all to enjoy. My plan was to keep the shop open as long I could, until I couldn’t. I’ve often said, “They’ll probably take me out of here feet first.” Unfortunately, my health declined swiftly, and starting just a couple months ago I was no longer able to be at the shop and manage the ongoing responsibilities. I am so grateful to our staff for their tireless work over the years, and particularly for helping to keep the shop operating without disruption during this period of uncertainty.

While my family and I would have loved nothing more than to see the shop continue on, any change in ownership triggers a new lease and creates circumstances that would not allow the shop to remain in its current location. I know that this disappoints many of you who would have liked to see the shop continue to operate. I want to thank everyone for their loyal support, encouragement and friendship through all of these years. My life has been enriched by all of you and I shall miss you!

WG School Board “Negligent” In Its Duties In his first month, the Webster Groves School District’s new CFO discovered that the district has been eligible for several years for state funding to cover the entire cost of full-day kindergarten, plus additional state money for other programs. Perhaps a $1 million annually. Yet, while the district has been eligible for years for these state funds, the district can only recover that state money for this budget year and last. Previous years’ state funding, perhaps from 2009 to 2014, is lost forever. During that time, the district sought four tax increases. One tax increase in 2015 was specifically earmarked to pay for free full-day kindergarten. The board of education is legally obligated by the state to pass a budget, including finding all revenue sources. The board failed our community in fulfilling this obligation for those years that

state funding was available but the district did not access it. Last year, the Missouri Ethics Commission fined the tax campaign’s treasurer, who also served as the district’s CFO, a total of $1,100, for knowingly violating four campaign finance laws. In response, the board’s officers wrote: “We want to state publicly that we have complete confidence in Dr. Moore as our chief operations officer and the entire administrative team for the district.” The board failed the community by negligently retaining a CFO after

receiving notice by the MEC of her multiple finance violations and not investigating at that time her part in failing to find all state funding sources. The victims of these mistakes on the part of the board are not just those parents who needlessly paid thousands for full-day kindergarten. They also include those families who sacrificed full-day kindergarten because they could not afford the tuition for a program the board considers invaluable. Greg Mueller Webster Groves

Thanks For Full-Day Kindergarten I wish to congratulate the new administration in the Webster Groves School District for its decision to offer free full-day kindergarten to Webster Groves families, along with the choice of half-day kindergarten. Full-day kindergarten allows time for children to learn non-academic

skills, including social and emotional skills, along with kindergarten-level academic skills. The choice of free full-day kindergarten will be a great benefit to many Webster Groves families. Sarah Unsicker Shrewsbury

School Board Did Not Perform Due Diligence “Alleluia,” indeed, Ann Schroer (Aug. 18 Mailbag). The Webster Groves School District now has free full-day kindergarten! Thanks, sadly, do not go to Webster Groves Board of Education, nor to the recently departed top administrators. The thanks should be directed to the newly arrived interim COO/CFO, and the new superintendent. I don’t wish to sound harsh, but, perhaps, those who have sat on the board of education should have urged the former superintendent

and COO/CFO to structure the implementation plan for free fullday kindergarten around what the newly acquired state foundation formula funding would allow. That new funding status would have allowed for funding free fullday kindergarten in its entirety, with extra money to boot. As a result of our new CFO’s discovery, the district will receive nearly $2 million in funding associated with full-day kindergarten just from last year and this year. Of course, money we may

have received before 2015-16 is lost. Parent tuition for 2015-16 will be refunded. Parents who paid in years prior won’t be reimbursed. It is water under the bridge, but I hope we will see, henceforth, board of education members who ask tough questions, clarify, research and truly represent us. I also hope to see a much greater engagement from parents and others in the community. Many brains are much superior to few. Kim Mumm Webster Groves

Made Off With Hillary Sign Earlier this month, someone stole the “Hillary for President” sign that I had placed in my front yard, inside the gated fence. They committed the crimes of theft and trespassing. They can rest assured that I will be replacing the sign. They should also bear in mind that their activities are anti-American. I understand that some people have a tremendous amount of distaste for Hillary, but that doesn’t give them the right to silence my speech. I personally believe the election of Trump would have catastrophic results for our country, but I’m not trying to stop anyone from expressing their support for him. Kathy Schrenk Kirkwood

Speaking Up For The Environment Like most people, I’m very concerned about the zika threat, particularly in southern coastal states, and in light of congressional failure to act on funding to combat zika. But I want to compliment Allison Dold — a Webster Groves High School student — on her letter about how mosquito spraying impacts other insects, the ecosystem, and even our own health. Honeybees especially, which play a significant role in the ecosystem, are endangered today. It’s always heartening to hear people advocate for the environment, ecosystem, and health of our planet and speak up for life forms which have no voice of their own. Bonnie Riverdahl Webster Groves

Helping Hands In Kirkwood Last Thursday I had the misfortune of having my car die. I got out and began to push the car out of traffic. Almost as quickly as I got out, there appeared a man and woman ready to lend assistance. They helped get the car out of the way. While waiting for a tow truck, a homeowner offered water. While it is best to avoid car trouble, if you are going to have any, may I suggest the corner of Woodlawn and Quan in Kirkwood. Thanks to those kind people. Tom Brown Webster Groves

Hawaii, The Sequel The first time we took our family to Hawaii 11 years ago, I made many mistakes. For example, I wouldn’t let my husband and children go anywhere near flowing lava. Also, I bought everyone matching outfits to wear to a luau. Let’s examine that second mistake first. Now there are some families – such as the ones featured on the Awkward Family Photos website – who are perfectly comfortable dressing alike in public settings. Other families, such as the Bufes, are more reluctant. “Look,” I reasoned back then. “We’re in Hawaii! This is what people do! Everyone who goes to a luau wears matching Hawaiian shirts and dresses. Trust me!” Turns out, I was wrong. “We’re the weird family with the matching clothes,” my son, Will, then 14, explained to the luau host when he and his sister were called onstage. “It’s my mom’s fault,” Jane added, helpfully. She was 8 years old at the time. To avoid further public humiliation, their 11-year-old brother, Sam, refused to leave his seat altogether. Lesson learned. When my husband and I took them all back to Hawaii last week, I did things differently. I selected luau clothes that merely coordinated, rather than matched precisely. And I turned all my lava-related worries over to a higher power. His name was Hank. The Bufes, you see, are a do-it-

yourself kind of family, with each member playing an assigned vacation role. My husband’s job is to plan the itinerary. The kids’ role is to enjoy the itinerary. My role is to point out all the ways that following the itinerary can result in serious injury or death. Let’s just say this trip’s itinerary could have included several trips to urgent care. In the case of the 10-mile hike on razor-sharp volcanic rock that my husband had originally planned, an emergency helicopter rescue was well within the realm of possibility. Which leads me back to Hank. If you ever want to see lava up close AND avoid divorce, he is your guy. Hank will lead you by bike along a four-mile-long gravel road through what was once a neighborhood, but is now a sea of the aforementioned volcanic rock. When the road ends, he will guide you on foot to flowing lava, noting that the noxious fumes you are smelling could fill your lungs and incapacitate you. But he is so enthusiastic, you almost don’t mind. When you finally reach the exact spot where you would have personally threatened your family’s life if they took one more step, Hank points out that the warm surface you are walking on wasn’t there two days earlier. So how’d the trip go? Well, Sam said he’d prefer matching shirts next time. While we did make two stops for medical supplies – and Hank gets the credit here – we didn’t tap into our health insurance even once. In other words, it was a success.

Suffragists In St. Louis from page 1A after receiving voting rights,” said McDaniel. “That’s when they came up with the League of Women Voters (LWV). They met in Chicago the next year to draw up bylaws and establish the LWV, but it really started here.” McDaniel and LWV members have offices in Brentwood near Brentwood Boulevard and Manchester Road. Voter education is a key mission of the LWV in St. Louis. That mission is one of the reasons why LWV will have voter registration available on Sept. 3. The Golden Lane As a sort of warm-up for downtown’s “Celebrate the Vote” activities, a “Celebration of Women” event took place at Chesterfield Mall on Saturday, July 23. It was sponsored by the Women’s Journal and Gateway To Dreams, a nonprofit community created to bring positivity and dreams back to the St. Louis Metro Area. The July 23 women’s happening was a collaboration of local women’s authors and suffragist re-enactors, according to Karen Hoffman, executive director of Gateway To Dreams. Rebecca Now of Webster Groves appeared in costume as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a major figure in the women’s rights movement in the 19th Century. “Many people do not realize that a significant event in the women’s rights movement occurred 100 years ago right here in St. Louis,” said Now.

“Nearly 3,000 women in St. Louis dressed in white, carrying yellow parasols and wearing gold sashes that said ‘Votes for Women.’” “As men walked down Locust Street to the Coliseum to the Democratic Convention, poised to renominate Woodrow Wilson to a second term, they saw this silent demand on each woman’s sash,” Now added. “This was a major event in the history of non-violent protest, and has been named “The Golden Lane” for the color of the umbrellas and sashes.” On July 23, Now appeared as feminist Stanton and spoke on the historical significance of the women’s rights movement, which began in 1848 in Seneca Falls, N.Y., with the first ever Women’s Rights Convention. The convention launched the movement that resulted, 72 years later, in women receiving the right to vote. The Golden Lane marks one of the largest peaceful protests in the history of the United States. Women’s historian Margot McMillen, author of “The Golden Lane: How Missouri Women Gained the Vote and Changed History,” writes about how the women stood shoulder to shoulder, each one in a dress that brushed the pavement, advocating their cause. Golden Lane Awards “Celebrate the Vote” on Sept. 3 will include short remarks from four women who have been chosen as Golden Lane Award winners. The award recognizes women who have

made contributions to lift women up and improve opportunities for both men and women. The honorees are: • Beth Stroble, president of Webster University and a resident of Webster Groves, has held symposia for women in business and has made the school a leading voice for diversity and inclusiveness. Founded in 1915, Webster University was one of the first institutions of higher learning for women. • Maxine Clark is founder of BuildA-Bear retail stores and currently is with the Clark-Fox Family Foundation. She is championing women’s education and recognition for St. Louis civil rights icon, Frankie Freeman. She resides in Clayton. • Adrian Bracy is CEO of YWCA of St. Louis, which serves more than 20,000 women and their families through its sexual assault center, its 10 Head Start centers, teen activities, transitional housing programs and after school activities. She lives in Chesterfield. • Anne Geraghty-Rathert, a pro-

fessor at Webster University, is the founder of The Willow (Women Initiate Legal Lifelines to Other Women). The project helps women who need legal assistance. One of its first cases involves a woman named Angel coerced into the sex trade. According to Geraghty-Rathert of High Ridge, Angel’s captors kidnapped her, another young woman and a child, then brutally murdered two elderly women. Angel was convicted alongside her captors, despite her low-level mental functioning. She is serving a life sentence. The courts did not recognize her as a human trafficking victim. “We are pleased to recognize the Golden Lane Awardees and to hear their words,” said McDaniel. “They will be an inspiration for ‘Celebrate the Vote.’ “We are hoping that grandmothers with bring their granddaughters to see the celebration of those who fought for women to have the right to vote,” said McDaniel. “We owe a debt of gratitude to those women of the Golden Lane who came to St. Louis 100 years ago and made history in America.

Conflict Of Interest Charges Directed At Councilman Matt Armstrong denies that any conflict exists by Mary Shapiro

Two Webster Groves City Council members are tussling over whether one can properly act as liaison to the Old Webster Special Business District Advisory Commission without having an actual or perceived conflict of interest. Council Member Greg Mueller, during a Aug. 16 council work session, said a business owner had approached him about Council Member Matt Armstrong. Armstrong was absent from the work session. In May he was appointed as council liaison to the commission. While acting as a liaison to the commission, Armstrong, an attorney, is representing someone suing an Old Webster business/owner in St. Louis

County Circuit Court, Mueller said. “This is an actual or apparent conflict of interest, though there needs to be a council decision on what to do,” Mueller said. City Attorney Helmut Starr said that Armstrong would have the option of simply not participating in any discussions or votes regarding the particular business. Mara Perry, director of planning and development, said Armstrong has not attended any commission meetings. At the suggestion of Council Member Frank Janoski, the council asked Janoski to attend the next commission meeting instead of Armstrong. “I think that’s the smartest thing to do for now until we figure out what to do,” Mayor Gerry Welch said. The lawsuit is strictly an internal dispute over ownership and control of a business in the district, Armstrong

later said. “The lawsuit has nothing to do with that business district or its development. “If Greg Mueller had bothered to read the public court papers, he’d know that,” he added. In an Aug. 22 email to council members, Armstrong said he represents Wiroj “RJ” Asusing, one of three owners of the Sushi Station and who is in a minority shareholder dispute with his business partners, married couple Natchanok “Pui” Nammakhot and Jacob Magnum, about the management and control of the business. In regard to commission meeting attendance, Armstrong said he couldn’t attend the May meeting because he had a court hearing; was in court mediation in Miami, Fla., at the time of the June meeting; and was out of town on vacation at the time of the July meeting.

“Frank Janoski is always welcome to attend meetings, but my intention is to attend these meetings,” he said. Armstrong also said “I don’t appreciate how Greg handled this – he could have called me directly with concerns.” In the email, Armstrong said he was “surprised to learn that you took the opportunity of my absence to publicly speculate about whether my representation of a Webster Groves-based client created a conflict of interest with my role as the ex officio council liaison to the Old Webster Special Business District Commission.” “Your silence during the past week indicates to me that this was not worthy of public discussion, but, more likely, that it was amateurishly raised in my absence by someone for some imperceptible political gain,” Armstrong wrote.

Starbucks Proposal for those who do not want to wait if the order line is too long, and also allows Vinetta Drive residents to access the Reliance Bank/Starbucks site as a way to get to Harwood Road. The planning and zoning commission approved the new plan and it will be on the Sept. 12 agenda. Harwood Hills resident Bob Ashcraft asked that the site review study’s scope be expanded to include Starbucks. “My concern is that the entrance will be hazardous and I would like the study to look into a right-in, rightout entrance,” Ashcraft said. “There is only room for two cars between the entrance on Harwood and the intersection with Manchester Road.” City Administrator Doug Harms said the agreement with Lochmueller was the result of the settlement and calls for “traffic engineering assistance” at that site. “Later on, we have an ordinance authorizing the Lochmueller Group to do a planning study of the Manchester

enclosures on front porches. The city has long-since ceased enforcement of its ban on enclosed front porches, but the planning commission must, nevertheless, continue hearing petitions for variances to build them, said Travaglini. Eliminating the restriction would also eliminate a continuing nuisance for the commission, he said. The bill will be up for a final vote at the board’s Sept. 13 meeting.

Road corridor which may include some traffic calming analyses and techniques,” he said. “I think this larger study will look at this issue.” He added that the judge and MoDOT rejected the right-in, right-out proposal which had been suggested. “The ordinance says if actual traffic conditions are worse than the study, the board has the right to revisit,” Harms said. According to Harms, the court ordered the city to issue the permit based on the original site plan. “They disagree with us that the Starbucks inhibits traffic movement,” he said. “We will have a public hearing at the Sept. 12 meeting, and vote on the 26th. “If we approve, the appeal will be dropped,” he said. “But if the board of aldermen does not approve the settlement, the appeal will continue to the state appeals court and then likely the state supreme court. Estimated time for appeal 12 to 15 months at a cost of $25,000 to $50,000.

Sale of City-Owned Property Finally, the board discussed the possible sale of miscellaneous properties the city holds throughout Shrewsbury, Travaglini said. The parcels are too small to be of use to the city, and are a maintenance liability.

“Please Touch: Sculpture For A City” from page 1A vice president and partner at FleishmanHillard and spokesman for the Gateway Foundation of St. Louis. “They (the Gateway Foundation) interviewed many photographers for the book, but decided on Ross because of his feeling for combining people with sculpture. They thought he had a good instinct for that.” Wagman said the book “serves as a benchmark of what the foundation has accomplished and fits with the foundation’s mission to bring art right into people’s homes.” The Gateway Foundation’s mission is to “strive to enrich St. Louis life and culture by supporting efforts to acquire, create and improve tangible and durable art and urban design.” Some of the distinctive sculptures featured in the book are London native Julian Opie’s “Bruce and Sarah Walking,” made out of an LED double-sided monolith aluminum and glass; Austrian native Erwin Wurm’s “Big Suit” made from painted aluminum; Chinese artist Zhu Wei’s “China China” made of bronze; United Kingdom artist Allen Jones’ “Backflip” created out of corten steel and Kansas native Tom Otterness’ “Gulliver” sculpted out of bronze. “Please Touch” also has in-depth essays written by five authorities on art. Those

essayists are: Paul Ha, current director of the List Visual Arts Center at MIT; Warren Byrd, a founding partner who helped design Citygarden; Bob Duffy, veteran St. Louis journalist and art critic; Patricia Phillips, dean of graduate studies at the Rhode Island School of Design; and Peter MacKeith, dean of the Fay Jones School of Architecture at the University of Missouri. The Gateway Foundation of St. Louis was founded by the late Aaron Fischer, a St. Louis businessman, and his late wife, Teresa. Their son Peter later became its chairman. The notfor-profit organization says its purpose is to “enrich life and culture in the St. Louis area by supporting efforts to improve and enhance public spaces, as well as acquire, create and place public art around the St. Louis region.” The organization hopes that “Please Touch” reinforces its mission and purpose as constituted by its original founders. It also hopes to continue its philanthropic generosity without fanfare. “The foundation doesn’t talk about themselves and doesn’t receive public attention, but it wants people to know about this book because it’s another gift to the city,” Wagman said. “Please Touch” can be ordered through Amazon.com for $60 or at Citygarden at a discount for $45 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is also available at Left Bank Books. ABOVE RIGHT: This whimsical sculpture “Gulliver” is located on the campus of St. Louis Community College-Meramec in Kirkwood. The artist is Tom Otterness. FAR LEFT: “Please Touch” includes 23 photographed sculptures from Citygarden and 30 sculptures featured in the book were shot at various locations in the city and county.

Aquatic Center news

Advice from the WG Police Department Currently every inner-ring suburb in St. Louis County is experiencing a substantial increase in thefts from vehicles, usually from those that are unlocked. Our police department is working diligently in cooperation with other departments to prevent these crimes and make arrests. Even though the WG Police Department is making staff adjustments to provide good coverage, it is difficult to catch these suspects as they are often on foot, operate in ‘middle of the night’ hours, and are capable of observing approaching police vehicles from a great distance. This makes apprehension extremely difficult

and adding additional police would likely not reduce these random thefts. We need community cooperation from our residents to curb these vehicle thefts. Here is how you can help. • Call 911 immediately to reports suspicious persons or activity. Do not confront a suspicious person. • Remove all valuables from your vehicle including purses, credit cards, cellphones, and other valuable items. • Do not leave firearms in your vehicle. • LOCK YOUR VEHICLE and REMOVE THE KEYS. With assistance and good vehicle locking practices, you can be the best help to the Police Department in discouraging these random vehicle thefts.

Great Rivers Greenway Trail open house planned

Chefs Challenge Aug. 11

An open house on the Shady and Deer Creek Greenway trail system is planned from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 8 at City Hall, 4 E. Lockwood Ave. The trail will provide a great way to travel between Lorraine Davis, Barbre and Deer Creek parks, with ultimate plans to connect to other greenways in the Great Rivers Greenway system. Restoration efforts along the creeks will include diverse native habitat plantings, including sedges, shrubs and trees, and an overlook shelter at the confluence of the two creeks.

Ice Arena improvements are nearing completion The 22-year-old Webster Groves Ice Arena is scheduled to reopen on Aug. 29, barring any unforeseen complications, as its substantial infrastructure renovation nears completion. It includes the installation of new refrigeration equipment and replacement of the desiccant system, which should improve the ice quality especially in the hot summer months. In addition, the dasher boards surrounding the rink will be replaced during the next maintenance break, after 22 years of wear-and-tear and countless hockey games. Ninety percent of the $590,000 renovation cost was covered by a $475,000 Municipal Park Grant and a $50,000 donation by St. Louis Rockets Hockey Association.

Coming soon: pickleball courts

The Webster Groves Recreation Complex gymnasium will be closed Aug. 29 through Sept. 2 for floor refinishing. When it’s completed, pickleball courts permanently will be painted below the finish.

Recycling drive collects 19 tons

More than 39,000 pounds of discarded electronic items were collected at the electronic recycling event Aug. 6, hosted by the City of Webster Groves in partnership with Midwest Recycling Center. Some 525 participants from 40 zip codes brought items to the event, on the Moss Field parking lot at Hixson Middle School.

Golden anniversary for Rep The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis is celebrating its 50th year. With its national reputation for offering outstanding performances, the Rep has become an important institutional arts anchor in Webster Groves. Each year tens of thousands of visitors come to our community to enjoy the Theatre. The mainstage season has six productions beginning with ‘Follies’ in early September. It includes the favorite ‘A Christmas Carol’ during December. The schedule of performances is on the Rep’s website, www.repstl.org.

Chef Jesse Mendica from Olive + Oak Restaurant emerged victorious Aug. 11 as the Webster Groves Farmers Market hosted the Chefs Cook Real Challenge. Chef Jesse, shown here shopping for ingredients at the market, edged out Chef Jason Tilford of Milagro Modern Mexican and won a Mac chef knife from Bertarelli Cutlery. The summer cook-off features local chefs who compete in friendly “Iron Chef”-style competitions at six area farmers markets in the area, using the best Midwest farm and artisanal food products. Chef Jesse will compete in the grand finale event Oct. 8 at Midtown Farmers Market in University City. For more information, visit www.midwestfarmersmarkets.org.

Parks receive sunscreen dispensers Patrons of Memorial and Larson Parks will notice new sunscreen dispensers. Former Council Member Kathy Hart worked with Director of Parks and Recreation Scott Davis to obtain a grant from the Melanoma Foundation of New England to fund the dispensers. Along with this effort, a not-forprofit group called the David Long Foundation (501(c)3 pending) is being formed, Kathy said, and Webster Groves will be its pilot city. Three more dispensers soon will be installed in other Webster parks. Look for fundraisers for the foundation once tax-exempt status is achieved.

Nineteen thousand and counting…

Sunscreen dispensers aren’t the only nifty perk for Parks and Rec patrons. Since a year ago, when a water bottle filler was installed at the Webster Groves Fitness Center, an estimated 19,762 water bottles have been spared from landfills. The City of Webster Groves is committed to sustainable solutions.

Kirkwood’s Cleveland Avenue is home to 4 sets of twins

August 26 - September 1, 2016

SEEING DOUBLE

by Jennifer Grotpeter

Although having twins many years ago was somewhat of a rarity, there’s no shortage of twins on one Kirkwood block. Thirty years ago, one in 53 newborns was a twin. That number is now closer to one in 30, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Kirkwood has had its own twin baby boom in the 900 block of Cleveland Avenue, which is home to four sets of twins. Cleveland is a fairly quiet street. It doesn’t go all the way through to Manchester, so there’s not much traffic. It was once mostly small-frame houses, but as the babies have boomed, so too has building and many of the homes are now newer and bigger. Schweiss Family The Schweiss family was the first to have a set of twins arrive. The couple moved in 23 years ago and soon had a son, Ben. When Ben was just 15 months old, twin siblings, Tim and Emily, arrived. Mother Anne Marie Schweiss got her wish of wanting her children to be close in age. “I am the oldest of five children and the sibling closest to me was four years younger – I always hated that and wanted my children to be closer together,” she said. “When I told my mom I was pregnant again she said,

Cleveland Avenue twin Emily Schweiss holds the block’s newest set of twins, 11-week-old Madison and Henry Hunter. Another set of Cleveland Avenue twins, 15-month-olds Leona (left) and Millie Gwyn-Giaminetti, are also pictured. photo by Ursula Ruhl ‘Wow, that is closer together.’” Schweiss’ mother-in-law was a bit skeptical about whether the couple was actually having twins. “When I was pregnant with my first, my husband told his mom we were having twins to tease her,” Schweiss said. “So when I was pregnant for the second time and we found out it was with twins, she wouldn’t believe him!” Schweiss twins Emily and Tim attended Keysor Elementary School in Kirkwood first through fifth grade,

often sharing classes. Eventually, Tim followed his older brother to Chaminade, and Emily went to Nerinx Hall in Webster Groves. Tim now attends the University of Missouri-Columbia and Emily is at the University of Dayton. With twins now almost grown, Schweiss reflected: “It wasn’t always easy, but it was nice having all three children so close in age as we could always do everything together – even now.”

BUILDING HAPPINESS

Fourteen-month-old twins Anna and Henry Bealmear. Their proud parents are Joe and Rebecca Bealmear, who moved to Cleveland Avenue in 2015. photo by Diana Linsley Gwyn-Giaminetti Family Fifteen months old Leona (“Onnie”) and Millie Gwyn-Giaminetti are the newest twins in the neighborhood. The family just moved to Cleveland Avenue from the Webster Groves area last month. Their moms, Meg Gwyn and Meg Giaminetti, are native Kirkwoodians, however. “All of our immediate family live in the area so the kids are able to play with their cousins often, and having family so

August 26 - September 1, 2016

close provides us lots of support,” Gwyn said. Onnie and Millie have a big brother, 3-year-old Liam, who is teaching them to appreciate toy trucks. It remains to be seen if he will gain their appreciation of baby dolls. Gregarious Onnie has bright blue eyes and a soft swath of baby-blonde hair, while laid-back Millie is a little more reticent. “They both enjoy waving and saying ‘hi’ to anyone,” Gwyn said. “If we ask for hugs and a kiss, they love to give them out.” Bealmear Family Joe and Rebecca Bealmear lived in Glendale for 11 years, but after a baby shower filled their small home with welcomed twin supplies, they realized they might need a bigger house. Members of First Presbyterian Church of Kirkwood since 2007, they were familiar with what Kirkwood has to offer. “We have been part of the community for a long time, so when we decided our little home was too little for twins, we knew we wanted to focus on Kirkwood to grow our community here and take advantage of the amazing schools, thriving downtown, and walk- and bike-ability,” Rebecca Bealmear said. “We love taking walks and going to the many parks, and are excited to raise our children here!” The couple moved to Cleveland Avenue in June 2015, a day before their twins, Anna and Henry, were born. At 35 and a half weeks pregnant, Rebecca Bealmear wasn’t doing any heavy lifting for the move. “I did a lot of supervising, and at 5 a.m. the next morning my water broke,” she said. Their twins, Anna and Henry, are now busy toddlers, enjoying their Indestructibles, books made of a water and tear resistant material similar to Tyvek, which were a gift from neighbor Anne Marie Schweiss. The twins also love their pets, Welsh Corgi Llewelyn and twin

Webster-Kirkwood Times

cats, Calvin and Hobbes.

The

Hunter Family Nicole and Tim Hunter have the tiniest set of twins, 11-week-old Henry and Madison. When the Hunters were looking to return to the St. Louis area several years ago, Nicole knew she wanted to raise her children in a family-friendly, walkable neighborhood – Cleveland Avenue had potential. There is a lovely yard for older brother Benjamin’s play-set and downtown Kirkwood is only a mile and a half walk, even if steering a stroller built for two pumpkin seats and a 4-year-old takes some manuevering. “We have a fleet of strollers – they take up half the garage,” she said. The Hunters have seen their neighborhood grow quite a bit in the seven years since they’ve been there. “When we first moved in there weren’t so many kids, but now with the new houses going in more families are moving in,” she said, noting there’s now another set of twins in the house behind theirs. Hunter recalled the surprise she and her husband had when they learned she was pregnant with twins at her nine-week doctor visit. She had nearly forgotten about the appointment and even told her husband he needn’t bother going with her. Fortunately, he went anyway. “The tech looked at me kind of funny, so I looked up at the screen and it was so clear...I knew we were having twins – it was the biggest shock of my life,” Hunter said. While Henry and Madison were slightly premature, as is common for twins, neither baby had to spend any extra time in the hospital. Madison is 36 minutes older, and a bit bigger than her brother. They’ve both mastered those wonderful, happy, quizzical baby facial expressions that melt hearts and cause one to forgive a lot of laundry and 140-plus dirty diapers a week.

The Reel World

Movie & DVD Reviews by Kent Tentschert & Lynn Venhaus Movie questions or comments? reelworld@timesnewspapers.com

Don’t Breathe Kent’s Grade: BGenre: Horror/Thriller Rated: R for terror, violence, disturbing content, and language including sexual references.

THE PLOT: Rocky (Jane Levy), Alex (Dylan Minnette) and Money (Daniel Zovatto) discover that a local blind man (Stephen Lang) may have tens of thousands of dollars stashed in his rundown house in an abandoned part of Detroit. Breaking in, they begin a burglary, but soon find themselves captured in an ordeal of survival. KENT’S TAKE: “Don’t Breathe” is a tense, moody thriller that uses its strengths well, but is shaky in a few spots. Writer/director Fede Alvarez does a good job of using the four characters in this film to flip our allegiances back and forth between the three burglars and the blind man. Initially introduced as thieves, Rocky, Alex and Money are punks and perps, but soon we discover that Rocky’s and Alex’s motivations are somewhat noble, yet, as they plunder the Blind Man’s home, they become victims as he turns the tables on

Stephen Lang plays a blind man in “Don’t Breathe” them. This film falters in its following of a well-worn path of predictability. These characters are put through the ringer – punched and shot, beaten with hammers and crowbars and frightened out of their minds (like its viewers) but they continue to get back up for more. Although there are no innocent souls in this film, Alvarez deftly creates sympathy for various characters at differing times. In fact, audiences will feel sympathy for every character in this film at one point or another. Thus, thriller and horror fans will enjoy this film as its jump-scares and violence will hold them firmly in their seats. Although “Don’t Breathe” is predictable, the intelligent writing strengthens its foundation to help catch viewers breath.

Obituaries Townsend, Mamie Rush. Longtime Webster Groves resident Mrs. Mamie Rush Townsend passed away suddenly on Friday, Aug. 12, 2016. She was 73. Mrs. Townsend leaves to cherish her memory a faithful and devoted husband, Rev. Moses D. Townsend, and three daughters: Miriam (WGHS Mrs. Townsend Class of ’85), Mary (WGHS Class of ’87) and Maria (WGHS Class of ’89). A funeral was held on Thursday, Aug. 18, 2016, 11 a.m., at the West Side MB Church, 4675 Page Blvd. in St. Louis, Mo. Zweig, Frederick Stanley died on Aug. 16, 2016, at age 96 at his home in Kirkwood, Mo. He was born on July 1, 1920, in St. Louis, the son of Carmen Rescia Zweig

and Frederick A. Zweig. He grew up in south St. Louis and graduated from Roosevelt High School. He married his childhood sweetheart, Evelyn Boersig Zweig, who Mr. Zweig survives. Fred entered the military in February 1943, achieving the rank of first lieutenant in the Sixth Armored Division of the Third Army where he served with valor in Europe. He fought at the Battle of the Bulge and earned the Silver Star and Bronze Star Medals. He had a successful career in advertising, marketing, public relations and management consulting. Fred founded Waymaker Institute, and served corporate, institutional, government and religious clients to clarify mission and ideology, and to identify and develop the full potential of organizations, products and people.

Fred Zweig was devoted to lifelong, self-directed study of the human condition, focused on identifying the common elements of ancient metaphysics, depth psychology and the implications of the frontier state of quantum physics and natural science. His Promethean quest reflected deep commitment to human enlightenment and greater possibilities; and as he believed this work would continue forever, life after life, he is now preparing to advance the human project yet again. His finite form will be dearly missed by his family, friends and all others he touched with his generosity and inspiring words. He and his wife celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary this past April. In addition to his wife Evelyn, he is survived by his daughter, Ellen Edman (Marshall Freerks), and sons John Zweig (Marcia McMinn), Steven Zweig (Susan Even) and Mark Zweig. He has nine grandchildren: Jennifer Edman, Rachel White, Benjamin

Zweig, Alexander Zweig, Lincoln Zweig, Christina Niehues, Anna Zweig, Olive Zweig and Hazel Zweig; four great-grandchildren: Matthew and Evelyn Chan, Ada and Ruby White, and a sister, Carol Mortika. A family service is planned. His remains will be interred at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. Memorial donations may be sent to the Pathways Hospice Foundation, 14805 N. Outer 40 Road, Chesterfield, Mo. 63017.

Angry Trump Fans Erroneously Target Webster Business Lady Grey Beads mistaken for N.Y. jewelry store by Jaime Mowers

In a strange twist of mistaken identity, a Webster Groves business owner has been receiving threats from angry Ivanka Trump supporters since the daughter of the Republican presidential nominee purchased jewelry from a store with a similar name. It started last week when Ivanka Trump purchased a pair of cuffs from a New York jewelry store called Lady Grey. The proprietors, who count Beyonce and other celebrities among their customers, sent Trump a handwritten note telling her they were donating the proceeds from her purchase to the Hillary Clinton campaign, the Everytown for Gun Safety Organization and the American Immigration Council. After posting the letter on Instagram, the story went viral – and

that’s when Webster Groves resident Lynnae Tanner Ruff, who owns Lady Grey Beads, began receiving threatening phone calls and scathing comments on her business’ Facebook page. She doesn’t have a storefront, but sells her beadwork online and at jewelry shows. “I started getting very strange, rude calls and nasty comments on my Facebook page and I had no idea what was going on,” Ruff said. “The first woman who called launched right in with, ‘What you did to Ivanka Trump was terrible.’ I told her I had never sold any of my pieces to Ivanka Trump and that it had to be some other Lady Grey. When she realized it was Lady Grey (in New York) and not Lady Grey Beads, she offered her sincerest apologies.” Ruff was continually surprised by the hateful comments that kept

appearing on her Facebook page in the following days and responded to each comment explaining the mix up. “I had to politely, but assertively let people know this wasn’t me, but another Lady Grey,” she said. “Most of them have been apologetic.” Ruff is most concerned about people mistaking her business for the one in

New York because she does beadwork for charities and fundraisers and doesn’t want the mix up to affect any future donations. She hopes she’s done enough damage control. “I’ve had to serve up some slices of humble pie to people, but it’s slowing down now,” she said Tuesday.

Pioneers Remain Optimistic After Opening Loss Next up is host Vianney on Aug. 26 by Rick Frese

Despite dropping a 22-14 season opener to powerhouse Chaminade, second year Kirkwood Coach Farrell Shelton remained optimistic about his youthful football team’s future. Chaminade, the 2015 Class 5 state runner-up, staged a fourth-quarter rally to pull out the victory on Aug. 19 at Lyons Stadium. Kirkwood suffered its first season-opening loss since losing 20-0 to powerful Hazelwood Central in 2002. “We’re one play away from winning the game. We’re one play, OK. I’m very proud of the way you played tonight,” Shelton told his team following the game. Kirkwood had seven illegal procedure or offside penalties, six coming in the first half. The Pioneers had difficulty running the football, totaling 40 rushing yards on 24 attempts. Senior quarterback Reece Goddard did complete 15 of 24 passes for 202 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Kirkwood’s swarming defense kept the game close. Senior linebacker Ivan Burnett led the way with 10 tackles, including six solos, followed by

sophomore defense end Avrell Ferguson (nine tackles) and senior cornerback Isaac Moye and junior cornerback Drew Mobley (seven tackles each). Junior cornerback Armon Tindle recovered two fumbles. Tindle’s second fumble recovery came in the end zone after Daron Clay forced the fumble at the one-yard line. Kirkwood’s first touchdown of the season came with five minutes left in the third quarter. Junior running back Shelbyon Polk was one yard shy of converting a two-point conversion to even the score. After Kirkwood’s defense stopped Chaminade on four plays, the Pioneers answered with their second touchdown of the season. Goddard and Polk hooked up on a quick inside pass that turned into a 25-yard touchdown with 1:05 remaining in the third quarter. On the two-point conversion Goddard, rolling right, found senior wide receiver Antonio Phillips open in the end zone to give Kirkwood a temporary 14-8 lead. But Kirkwood couldn’t maintain the lead as Chaminade scored twice in the fourth quarter on long touchdown plays. “I don’t want to make any excuses,” Shelton said. “But how many guys on this team started for the first time on var-

Lauryn Miller’s future just got brighter. The 6-foot-2 Miller, a Kirkwood High School senior, will take her basketball talents to UCLA, where she hopes to have many opportunities to inspire on and off the court.

or will attend law school and become a sports agent. Before any of that happens, she said she hopes to play professionally. “I hope to play at least a couple of years,” Miller said. Miller’s final list Lauryn Miller of schools she considered attending included Missouri, Texas Christian University, Ohio State and Notre Dame. Her father, Alvin, was a standout wide receiver at Notre Dame. Miller visited the UCLA campus in Westwood last May. She plans to sign

her letter on Nov. 9, the first day of the signing period. Miller said the UCLA coaches like her playing style, which will blend nicely with what the Bruins do offensively and defensively. “The coaches love the ability that I have and they hope to build off that,” Miller said. “I’ll go out there and just push myself to my capacity.” During her senior high school year, Miller wants to focus on improving defensively. Miller missed much of her junior season with a serious knee injury, but came back in time to help Kirkwood to a Class 5 state runner-up finish. In 10 games, she averaged 11.9 points and 6.7 rebounds.

WebsterWaves Prepare For A Special Day I don’t know how many Webster citizens realize what a great swim team we have at our recreation center during the summer. Our children get the opportunity to participate in the St. Louis County Municipal Swim League and this year 305 swimmers and divers participated. Coach Lea Berndsen is a wonderful encourager of our youth. She challenges and supports them constantly and has for the past 10 years. For the last six years Webster swimmers and divers have placed first in the conference, competing against Crestwood, Kirkwood, Ballwin, Manchester, Sunset Hills and Fenton. Of course, our children are to be commended as well as the coach. Webster Waves Proclamation Day,

presented by Mayor Gerry Welch and the city council on Sept. 5, will pay tribute to them all. Lea Berndsen and her assistant coaches, David Weaver, Larry Hoerr, Stephen Hoerr, Clare Fleming, Kier Verhoff and Ashley Boesch deserve a nice thank you for their supportive ways of encouraging our young boys and girls to do their best always. Lea received a beautiful citation at the Aug. 16 council meeting. Parents and volunteers do a great job of coming and encouraging the children at their meets during the summer.

spoke to Don Larson. Today I am happy to report that this section of sidewalk has been replaced and it is no longer an unsightly hazard. Thank you Karen and Don for your time and attention to getting this sidewalk replaced. It is a pleasure to live in a city where the public works department will respond to a call from one of its citizens. Alec Hill Webster Groves

Letter Writer’s Response Was “Insulting” I found Ms. Cobb’s response to my letter on food costs (Mailbag, Aug. 12) insulting and ill-informed. Had Ms. Cobb taken the time to read the nutrition data of the foods I recommended she would have found that eggs, peanut butter, milk and cereal are all sources of protein. I also cited casseroles which can be made with meat, tuna, or the like. Furthermore, I did not intend this to be a comprehensive list of nutritional foods. Certainly, kids should have vegetables and fruit. Corn, especially during the summer, is very reasonable in price as are several greens. A can of Gatorade powder can provide gallons of nutritional drinks

Regarding her snide comment about my family, yes, we did provide our children with nourishing food. I also had nourishing food as a kid during the Great Depression when times were very hard. In neither case did we receive outside assistance. Now that my children are raised, I send substantial amounts of money to organizations that feed children, adults, and provide other vital medical-related services. I am not indifferent to people’s needs, but I do want to see allocations used wisely. Jerry M. Powers Webster Groves

St. Lucas Celebrates Young Servant Leaders

Feeding Children No Place To Cut Costs I believe Jerry Powers was missing some very important details when he drew up his hypothetical, cost effective meal plan for a child in poverty. I noticed he made no mention of fruits, vegetables, or other sources of the important nutrients that children need in order to remain healthy and to grow. Simply adding a few apples or carrots into your weekly meal plan of bland peanut butter sandwiches and tuna noodle casseroles and suddenly, you’re $5 over your weekly allotment of $28 per child. These programs are so much more

than just making sure these children don’t have to go to bed hungry, they are also there to ensure they can eat well to encourage healthy growth. I challenge anyone who thinks $4 a day to feed a child is adequate to try living off of that for a week and see if your math, your outlook and your health remains the same. There is a time and place to cut costs, feeding our children should not be one of them. Kara Wurtz Kirkwood

Corrections To Article On Monday Club We are very appreciative of the nice article, coverage and picture of our beloved Monday Club. However, there are two errors: The most important is the line “Before use by the Monday Club, the building was the first public library in Webster Groves.” In truth, the land at 37 S. Maple belonged to Mr. and Mrs. William Jagar. Mrs. Jagar was a member of the Monday Club. The Jagars donated the lot to the Club, which was begun in 1887 by Mrs. James F. Allen and 11 other women, with the stipulation that it erect a building which would also be used as a public library until other arrangements could be made. The library was open two

evenings and days a week, and used for Club functions at other times. The Monday Club purchased books, and provided heat, light and the librarian’s salary. The library remained at the Monday Club from 1911 until 1929. The second error is that Anne Branch Cushing was not one of the 12 (not five) original members. She was indeed the president during the building and dedication of the Monday Club building in 1911. Mrs. Cushing was the 11th President of the Club and held office from 1910-1912.

FALL 2016

Travel To Ste. Genevieve For History, Wine, Fall Foliage With cooler weather around the corner, thoughts will turn to seeing the seasonal colors change from greens to hues of golds, yellows and reds. Opportunities abound for enjoying the fall foliage while also taking in the many sights within a short drive of St. Louis. Ste. Genevieve, America’s original French Colonial village, is just an hour from St. Louis down Interstate 55. The town is truly a gem along the Mississippi River. Day trippers enjoy the easy proximity and ambiance of the downtown shops and historic sites, as well as the award-winning restaurants, wineries and microbreweries of the region. “Many visitors know of Ste. Genevieve as Missouri’s first settlement or they know of it as the ‘gateway’ to the Ste. Genevieve Wine Country,” said Sandra Cabot, director of tourism. “In the near future, they may know it as one of the newest national park sites due to the legislation that was introduced in Congress this year.”

The legislation stems from a report by the National Park Service that recognizes the historic significance of rare French Colonial buildings and the early French and German influences in Ste. Genevieve’s National Historic Landmark District. For those who haven’t been to the town recently, it’s worth the drive to see the recent additions to the mix of shops or to take in a festival, such as Rural Heritage Day on Saturday, Oct. 22. Re-live life in rural middle America circa 1850-1860 with demonstrations from plowing to quilting, games, old-fashioned treats and more. One of the new faces is ASL Pewter Foundry, a “watch the artists at work” showroom and sales gallery. The town also has a flurry of new art galleries to feature the works of local, regional and international artists and photographers. Opening in 2016, galleries include Rhinehart & Rhinehart’s, Gallery 109, Riverside Studios, What Nots & Oddities and the Audubon Gallery inside Audubon’s Restaurant. For more information, visit the website, www.visitstegen.com.

Jefferson County: First Stop For Wine Excursions Wineries, historic site among attractions close to home off I-55 St. Louis County’s southern neighbor, Jefferson County, may not be the first consideration when taking a wine-tasting tour. But with its close proximity to St. Louis and picturesque rolling hills, wine enthusiasts are discovering that it is the perfect place to begin an excursion to savor the vintages south along Interstate 55. Jefferson County, bounded roughly by the Mississippi River on the east, the Meramec River on the north and the Big River on the west, includes the towns of Barnhart, De Soto, Imperial, Hillsboro, House Springs, Herculaneum and Kimmswick. Just west of Barnhart off Highway 21 is Persimmon Ridge Vineyards. Savor its wine in an outdoor setting while listening to live music on Saturdays and Sundays, 2 to 5 p.m. The winery is open year round with a four-season tasting area. LaChance Vineyards in De Soto was founded in 2012 when Harold and Tami Hamby relocated from their home in Wildwood to family property in De Soto. What was once a small family farm, the 80 acres now has nearly 5,000 grapevines with plans to expand. Guests can sample wines in the indoor tasting room or outside on the patio or partially-covered deck. Listen to live music on Friday nights or Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Hillsboro is home to Wild Sun Winery, which is located on a 10-acre estate. Stop by to sample its variety of fine wines. On Fridays through October, the winery has

A number of wineries call Jefferson County home. live music from 6 to 9 p.m. Missouri wine meets Italian hospitality at Villa Antonio Winery in Hillsboro. Visitors can sample award-winning wines paired with authentic Italian cuisine while listening to live music. The wines are hand-crafted in the Northern Italian tradition. The winery is open year round. It features live music on most Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. and on Friday nights during peak season. While not in Jefferson County, another winery to consider is The Terrace at French Village, located in the old Werner home built in the 1890s, about 10 miles east of Bonne Terre. The winery is open Fridays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. with weekend entertainment and a unique twist on its tasting room. In addition to its wineries, Jefferson County boasts historic and natural attractions that are a must see. Mastodon State Historic Site near Imperial is home to the Kimmswick Bone Bed, one of the most extensive Ice Age fossil deposits in the country. Site excavations have yielded bones of mastodons and giant ground sloths. A full-size replica of a mastodon skeleton at the museum can’t be missed. Washington State Park, near De Soto, is also testament to the area’s prehistoric times.

Two-thirds of Missouri’s known petroglyphs, or rock carvings, can be found at the park. The park also features three hiking trails, Ozark overlooks, plus easy access to the Big River for swimming or fishing. About 30 covered bridges once spanned Missouri’s rivers and creeks. Only four remain including Sandy Creek Covered Bridge north of Hillsboro. John H. Morse constructed the bridge in 1872 as part of a countywide building program in Jefferson County. The bridge now makes up the Sandy Creek Covered Bridge State Historic Site. For a different kind of adventure, take a zipline canopy tour and play paintball at Adventure Valley, located in House Springs. The zipline tour features over a mile of ziplines through a wooded ridge.

Shop & Dine In Kimmswick The quaint, historic rivertown of Kimmswick is growing leaps and bound making it the perfect day trip or girlfriends getaway. It is located off Interstate 55 just south of St. Louis in Jefferson County. “We have over 28 shops in town now,” said Mary Hostetter, owner of the Blue Owl Bakery and Restaurant. “All buildings are full except one.

Fall Puts On A Splendid Show In The Ozark Highlands Natural beauty surrounds Ellington, a 2-hour drive from St. Louis For a relaxing float down a river or a more strenuous hike on the Ozark Trail, fall is a beautiful season to enjoy the natural wonders surrounding Ellington. Nestled in the Ozark Highlands of Reynolds County, the small town is located at Missouri Scenic Highway 21 and Scenic Highway 106 approximately 125 miles south, southwest of St. Louis. The area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts for floating, boating, fishing, swimming, hunting, camping or hiking. The Current River, the first river to be designated as a National Scenic River, is located just west of Ellington. It is known for its crystal clear water, large gravel bars and hundreds of springs. Southeast of Ellington sits Clearwater Lake for boating, swimming, water skiing, camping, picnicking, sightseeing, hunting and fishing. Webb Creek Recreation Area offers a secluded camping area with pavilions, modern restrooms, a playground, beach, showers, plus a full-service marina with boat rentals available. Three rivers – the East Fork, Middle Fork and West Fork – come together to form the Black River as they enter Clearwater Lake to the north. Webb Creek Recreation Area is located on the west side of the lake. It has a secluded camping area with pavilions, modern restrooms, a playground, beach, showers and a full-service marina. The Current River Conservation Area, encompassing approximately 28,000 acres

Relax and enjoy the beauty of the Black River in a canoe. photo courtesy Ellington Chamber of Commerce of state land, is home to a multitude of wildlife such as deer, turkey, eagles and elk. Also in the area is Blue Spring. Known for its blue color, it is the sixth largest, and the deepest, spring in Missouri. To see the spring, called “Spring of the Summer Sky” by early Native Americans, requires a quarter-mile forest hike. The parking area has picnic tables and bathrooms. A 1.5-mile trail connects the Blue Spring parking lot with the Powder Mill campground. Listen for the bugle call of the elk. Thanks to a recent elk restoration program by the Missouri Department of Conservation, elk now roam the Ozark Highlands. See them at Peck Ranch, the Current River Conservation Area and on private land in the Elk Zone. Since 2011, the herd has grown to over 120 cows, calves and bulls. Hikers will find plenty of adventure and

water along the Blair Creek and Current River section of the Ozark Trail. Along the trail, they’ll discover Blair Creek, Bloom Creek, Current River, Rocky Falls, Klepzig Mill and Buzzard Mountain Shut-Ins. For information about the area, stop by the Copeland-Shy Visitor center. The center is located at 155 W. Walnut St., in the house thought to be the oldest in Ellington. Learn about the area’s history at the Reynolds County Museum, 233 S. Second St. in Ellington. The museum is open March through November, Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the second Saturday of each month, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call 573-9452121 for more information.

Visit The Land Of Lincoln For One-Of-A-Kind Adventures Fall is the perfect time for a trip across the Mississippi River to the Land of Lincoln for one-of-a-kind adventures. Quincy, Ill. While the beauty of Great River Road National Scenic Byway is worth the trip, travelers won’t want to miss the sites of Quincy, Ill. Nestled on the banks of the Mississippi River, this gem of a river town is a two-hour drive north of St. Louis. Built in 1825, the town boasts over 3,600 buildings on the National Historic Register, 70 locally-owned eateries, 30 parks, 18 Lincoln storyboards and 11 museums. The area also has five wineries, some dating to 1857. In 2014, these wineries partnered to create the Mississippi Valley Wine Trail running through Adams, Pike and Hancock counties. Quincy is known for some of the best architecture in the state outside of Chicago. Its prestigious 16th & Maine was named by National Geographic as one of the 10 most architecturally significant corners in the U.S. To check out the area, take one of five self-guided driving tours. Experience days gone by during Quincy’s Frontier Settlement Day on Saturday, Sept. 10, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., in the Log Cabin Village on Quinsippi Island. Re-enactors will depict activities and life as it was in the 1800s including Lincoln splitting rails, plus live music and activities for young and old alike. The event is free. On Saturday, Oct. 8, noon to 10 p.m., Oktoberfest will celebrate Quincy’s German heritage in the former Dicks Brothers Brewery District. Enjoy brewery building tours, home brew samplings, live music, German food and beverages. Free admission.

Litchfield Litchfield “where land and water come into play” is a great escape for Route 66 enthusiasts and outdoor lovers. Located on Interstate 55 and Route 66, 60 miles north of St. Louis, it has long been known for its history along the Mother Road. In 2013, a History Museum and Route 66 Welcome Center opened to reflect the Route 66 era. The historically preserved downtown features many points of interest. Jubelt’s Bakery & Restaurant has been serving hungry travelers since 1922 and the Ariston Café is one of the oldest restaurants along Route 66. As dusk approaches, take in a movie at the Litchfield Skyview Drive-In, the oldest continuously operated drive-in on Route 66. It is open through October. For fishing, boating, hiking, camping and riding, head five miles west of Route 66 to Lake Lou Yaeger. The 1,400-acre public lake features many recreational opportunities with picnic areas, hiking trails, campgrounds, horse trails, swimming, two marinas and more. On Oct. 1 and 2, the lake will be the site of the 5th Annual West Fork Encampment, a historical reenactment of life in the 1800s with artillery and historical demonstrations. In Litchfield, checkout the Litchfield Pickers Market on Sept 11 and Oct. 9. This open air market, with hundreds of vendors, specializes in items prior to 1980 and refurbished vintage and antique items. Metropolis In 1972, Superman put Metropolis on the map when it was adopted as his hometown. Today, the town, located at Exit 37 on Interstate 24 at the southernmost tip of Illinois on the Ohio River, proudly honors its favorite son with a 15-foot bronze statue

The annual Fort Massac Encampment will be held on Oct. 15 and 16 at Fort Massac State Park in Illinois. photo courtesy Metropolis Tourism in the middle of Superman Square. In addition, a statue of actress Noel Neil, posed as Lois Lane, stands just two blocks down the street. Metropolis is also home to Fort Massac State Park, which overlooks the Ohio River. With Fort Massac and a nearly 1,500-acre park, it draws both nature lovers and history buffs. Enjoy picnicking, camping, hiking, fishing, boating and seasonal hunting programs, plus disc golf on an 18-hole course. See what life was like back in the 1700s and early 1800s at Fort Massac State Park’s 43rd annual Fort Massac Encampment on Oct. 15 and 16, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. During the event authentically-garbed troops will face off in the Battle of Drouillard Creek. It will also feature demonstrations of the skills and lifestyles of early residents, along with food and activities. The replica 1802 fort at the state park remains closed pending structural rehabilitation. Effingham Effingham, located about 100 miles from St. Louis in Central Illinois where Interstate 57 meets Interstate 70, welcomes thousands of travelers each year with its many hotels and restaurants. The town, easily recognizable by its gleaming Cross at the Crossroads, attracts visitors with such attractions as the Funfest Amphitheater, MY Garage Museum, The Effingham Performance Center, Firefly Grill, Tuscan Hills Winery and Lake Sara. It also features numerous events such as the Corvette Funfest Sept. 15-19 at Mid America Motorworks. Participants enjoy a weekend of special displays, car shows, a

Cuba, Steelville Beckons Nature & Art Lovers Area features float trips, music concerts, mural tours, art exhibits & more

Enjoy the great outdoors with getaways down Interstate 44 to Steelville and Cuba, which are situated in some of the most popular recreation areas in the state. Both Cuba and Steelville are located on the Meramec River. Some call Steelville the “Floating Capital of Missouri” with its location on three rivers: the Meramec, Huzzah and Courtois. But both towns offer other attractions as well.

Cuba Cuba, 80 miles southwest of St. Louis on I-44, dubbed “the Route 66 Mural City,” boasts 12 colorful, outdoor murals. Each mural tells a story and depicts scenes from local and national history, including visits from Harry S. Truman, Amelia Earhart and Bette Davis. The area also touts a history museum, a veterans memorial and the huge Route 66 Red Rocker. Shoppers can find unique items at resale, art and gift shops and antique malls plus dining at area restaurants. A visitor center is located at Interstate 44 at Exit 208. Cuba hosts numerous events throughout the year including the annual Lion’s Club Car show on Saturday, Sept. 24. The Rt. 66 Cuba Fall Festival will be held on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 15 and 16. The fall festival features crafts, music, food, trolley tours, a chili cook-off, Taste of Cuba, wine tasting and more. Steelville While Steelville offers lots of fun on the water, it is also home of the Meramec Music Theatre and Gallery Zeke.

The town of Cuba boasts 12 colorful outdoor murals.

The Steelville Arts Council operates both the music theatre and the art gallery. The Meramec Music Theatre brings wellknown musical acts to the area, ranging from country to oldies. Upcoming shows include The Booth Brothers on Sept. 10, “A Tribute to Karen Carpenter” by Dawn Day on Sept. 24 and The Isaacs on Oct. 29. For a complete schedule, visit www. meramecmusictheatre.com. The next exhibit at the art gallery is a quilt show Sept. 3 - 11. A wood carvings exhibit, “Into the Woods,” will be on display Oct. 8 - 30. Hours during the exhibits are Fridays and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays, 1 to 4 p.m. For a nature hike, the Zahorsky Trail is located on the Meramec River just north of Steelville. Zahorsky woods is a 56-acre woodland with ridges, bluffs and bottomlands. Set on the blue waters of Huzzah Creek is Dillard Mill State Historic Park in Davisville. The site features one of the state’s best-preserved gristmills, completed in 1908. Most of the machinery in the mill is still intact. At the Huzzah Conservation Area, the Ozark Hiking Trail transects most of the area and allows hikers access to many of its unique features. Take a guided tour of Onondaga Cave State Park in Leasburg and drop into a world of stalagmites, stalactites, and active flowstones. This National Natural Landmark illustrates why Missouri is often called “The

Cave State.” The park’s Vilander Bluff Natural Area provides a panoramic view of the Meramec River. Easy access to the Meramec River allows visitors to canoe or fish. Numerous lodging options are available. In Steelville, Kick’n K Farmhouse & Arena, overlooking the Meramec River, offers two vacation rental homes – an 1899 farmhouse which sleeps up to 10 and the new Sunrise Cabin. Bass River Resort features canoeing, kayaking or rafting trips on the Courtois, Huzzah and Meramec rivers, plus riverside camping along the Courtois River, RV sites and cabins for groups from two to 20 people. Activities include horseback riding, swimming in its outdoor pool and more. Huzzah Valley Resort has been outfitting trips on the Huzzah, Courtois and Meramec rivers since 1979. It also offers camping, lodging in cabins, canoeing and other activities. In St. James, get away to Lost Creek Ranch located next to Maramec Spring Park. The park boasts the fifth largest spring in Missouri. An average of 100 million gallons of water flows from the spring daily. Maramec Spring Park contains 1,860 acres of forest and fields. The 200-acre public area provides many amenities and activities such as a cafe, store, camping, wildlife viewing, picnicking, playgrounds and fishing. The Meramec River flows through the park. The park is owned by The James Foundation.
