All eyes were to the skies for Monday’s spectacular celestial event

onday’s interlude of aweinspiring darkness — set against a backdrop of clear skies and hot, humid temperatures — induced business owners to close shops, schools to release students to the great outdoors, and neighbors to gather for front lawn viewing parties. It was a heavenly event most in the U.S. will never experience again — an almost three-hour Tango between a distant sun and a proximate moon. The lucky winner in a celestial lottery, much of the St. Louis Metro area fell within a 2,000-mile-long, narrow band that stretched from coast to coast. The payout was “totality,” a word not often visited yet heard regularly in conjunction with “The Great American Eclipse.” As the eclipse began to unfold beginning at about 11:45 a.m. on Monday, all eyes were pointed to the skies. Odd-looking cardboardrimmed glasses stretched ear-toear across the faces of young and old alike. Many of those faces traveled to the area from out of town. Eclipse viewing events took place throughout the day. Many were drawn to Webster University for festivities celebrating and observing the full solar eclipse. Professors from the university also worked with students at the Steger Sixth Grade Center to set up scientific equipment and collect data on how bees behave during a solar eclipse. Many Kirkwoodians gathered throughout that city’s downtown area, and in particular Kirkwood Station Plaza, for an eclipse viewing party. The Magic House also held a viewing event on its front garden. At Moss Field Schools everywhere released students for a couple of hours to allow them a fun and educational experience that only a total solar eclipse could provide. Hundreds of students at Hixson Middle School were ushered onto Moss Field. Parents were invited to join their « continued on page 8A

Eclipse Day: An Unscripted Holiday by Katy Friedman Miller I sit down to write this column with an eclipse hangover. It’s Tuesday morning – the day after “totality” – and I am tired and a little melancholy. Seeing the eclipse, and being part of a delightful, Mid-County St. Louis savoring of nature with dozens of friends and neighbors, leaves me wishing that we could make this an annual event, but the sun and moon won’t cooperate. It was as if there were a holiday I didn’t know existed, so that made the celebration totally unscripted and more pleasing than many a July 4, when I know just what to expect. Certainly, the sweatiness was the same as July 4 – but, everything else was a revelation, including the Eclipse cookies from Lubeley’s. Up until Sunday night, I was torn about whether to leave my kids in school to participate in their school programming or take them out to participate in the block party where we’d been invited. After a friend of mine mentioned that this could be a spiritual experience (people who know me, know I would not pass up a spiritual experience), I decided

they could miss a half day of school without giving up their opportunity for a Harvard education. Plus … a spiritual experience! College essay material at the least. On Monday at 11:30 a.m., to the block party we went. Sunnyside Avenue in Webster Groves, where Gavin Perry, a Washington University scientist and his wife, Lynne Shields, set up a huge telescope and various cardboard shadowboxes to view the eclipse – there were both The Land of a Thousand Suns and the Eclipse-a-Tron 5000 (patent pending). “Why 5000?” I asked Gavin. And he replied, “3000 wasn’t enough and 9000 was too much.” The generous friends and neighbors laid out a spread of communal food in driveways. Kids from college age to 3 years old mingled. Abundant eclipse viewing glasses were available. Ice-cold water for all. And did I mention the cookies from Lubeley’s? Much of our community – St. Louis and the surrounding areas, but also a
large swath of the United States –paused together on Monday to look up, unselfconsciously, in our goofy glasses, at the sky. Not down at our phones – but up. Nature! The sky! What we take for granted every day, the light of the sun, was fully interrupted by the path of the moon. We heard the cicada’s hum. We noticed the stars and planet. We could look directly at the sun and take in the silvery darkness of our day. We all stood in awe for a minute together. You might not use the word spiritual for that, but it sounds pretty right on to me. Several hours after the eclipse, I picked up a couple things at the grocery store. I asked the man working the seafood counter whether he’d gotten to take a break to see the eclipse. “No,” he said, “a lot of us did, but I figured someone needed to stay in here and help the customers if we had any. I’m planning to watch the NASA website later.” A positive attitude. But, I do hope that the guy gets the day off on April 8, 2024.

Opposition Thwarts Plan For Senior Housing Lutheran Senior Services was eying site on Edgar Road for 2-story complex by Jaime Mowers After facing strong opposition from Webster Groves residents, Lutheran Senior Services said it will not move forward with developing the green space west of its Laclede Groves senior living community. During a recent meeting, more than two dozen residents whose property would be affected, voiced opposition to Lutheran Senior Services’ plans for building a two-story, 39-unit apartment complex. It was intended for lowincome seniors in the wooded area off Edgar Road between Florence Avenue and Chestnut Hill Lane. Twenty-seven residents from 17 households signed and delivered a petition against the plan at an informal meeting with Lutheran Senior Services representatives on Aug. 17. Earlier this month, representatives from the organization floated the idea of expanding its Laclede Groves campus to homeowners in the area.
Although the idea was very preliminary, residents were adamant about stopping it from going any further. Residents raised several concerns, just as they did in 2004 when Lutheran Senior Services proposed a 47-unit apartment building in the same area. Lutheran Senior Services withdrew that proposal after a public meeting that drew strong opposition to the project. Residents opposed the development then for the same reasons they do now – traffic concerns, pedestrian safety, loss of green space, the commercial nature of the building, the impact it would have in a residential neighborhood and how property values would be affected. There are also concerns about increased lighting, sewer capacity issues and whether enough right-of-way space would exist to construct a street for an entrance/exit onto Edgar Road. “Nothing has changed since they last proposed something like this, so we still have all of the same concerns,” Florence Avenue resident Katy Sommer said. Mark Schoedel, vice president of construction and technology for Lutheran Senior Services, prepared a presentation outlining the reasons
for the project, but he encountered opposition at every turn. “This is not compatible with the neighborhood in any way,” Florence Avenue resident Carol Hemphill said. “This is inappropriate in size, scale and shape as a multi-family dwelling. Instead of complementing our neighborhood, it detracts from it and disrespects it, too.” “Loud and Clear” Lutheran Senior Services has been interested in developing the property because of a growing need for affordable senior housing in the Webster Groves community. The organization has more than 830 people on its waiting list for affordable housing communities in the Kirkwood and Webster Groves ZIP codes, according to Schoedel. He pointed to the probability of Lutheran Senior Services being awarded low-income housing tax credits to help fund the project. He also cited the success of the Village at Mackenzie Place in Affton, which also serves low-income seniors. He said the «continued page 18A
Shrewsbury
Residents Have Their Say On Airbnbs In City Concerns center on enforcing regulations by Dennis Hannon Judging by the reactions of the approximately 25 Shrewsbury residents attending the town hall meeting held by the board of aldermen Tuesday night, there is a wide range of opinion on bringing hostelries such as Airbnb to town. Some residents said they oppose an Airbnb presence until the city could show that it intended to adopt and enforce regulations governing hostelries. “First of all, I am against it. And second of all I want to know what rules are to be in place, and who’s going to enforce it,” said Margaret O’Brien, who was in the Ward 2 group. “Let’s say you have a rule saying you only could stay
six nights. Who’s going to go in there and say ‘Hey, you’ve been in there too long?’ “You don’t enforce enough of the ordinances that (the city has) now,” she added. “It’ll ruin our property values.” Barbara Lucks, also in the Ward 2 group, spoke of the complications the city would encounter in code enforcement and ensuring liability coverage and guaranteeing a continuous presence of a responsible person on the premises. “I think you should have a management company, definitely,” for each housing unit offering rentals, she said. Others expressed the opinion that Airbnb really was a non-issue. Shrewsbury is a small town, out of the way, and not likely to attract many Airbnb operations, some said. For example, the mood among the
half-dozen persons in the Ward 1 meeting room was “either pro or not worried about it,” said participant Anne Roberts. Only two participants came to the Ward 3 meeting, and the conversation quickly turned to other issues, principally code enforcement and the shameful indifference of many dog owners to their obligation to clean up after their pets. Some residents pointed out that the city is not rigorous in enforcing yardmaintenance ordinances for rental properties, so it might be unfair to impose even more stringent requirements on property owners simply because they choose to offer shorter-term rentals, one attendee said. The city also is lax in enforcing the new ordinance governing setting out «continued page 18A
Board Takes No Action On Golf Cart Regulations by Linda Jarrett In response to repeated complaints regarding a resident operating a golf cart in a dangerous manner, City Administrator Doug Harms asked the Des Peres Board of Aldermen on Monday for direction in regulating golf carts. Last April, an officer gave the resident a ticket but the prosecuting attorney dismissed the case saying the law regarding motor vehicles was too “vague,” said Public Safety Director Keith Krumm. “State law prohibits operation of golf carts and low-speed vehicles on state highways, but that does not apply to city streets,” Harms said. Resident Cynthia Elder said she had seen the woman in question speeding with kids hanging on with one hand on the golf cart, and urged the board to put some regulations in place. Bansbach Road Resident Brian McDonald said he was experiencing similar issues with ATV’s and other farm-type vehicles speeding along Bansbach and into Des Peres Park. “You might want to start thinking about this,” he said. The Public Safety Commission recommended that golf carts be allowed if they meet the standards of a low-speed vehicle. Golf carts do not meet this standard unless you add lights, blinkers, and seat belts. The board voted to take no action on the issue. New Restaurant The Des Peres Board of Aldermen on Aug. 14 unanimously approved Circle 7’s permit to open a restaurant in Des Peres Commons, 11769 Manchester Road. Board Member Ben Sansone wanted to amend the permit to eliminate the southern curb cut and restrict left turns at the eastern Manchester Road curb cut. Board Member Jim Kleinschmidt said that due to these proposed changes, he wanted to send the bill sent back to the Planning and Zoning Commission. After much discussion, the board members withdrew their requests and voted for the restaurant with the condition that the proposed changes be reviewed before any action is taken.

City’s Finance Director Joan Jadali Resigns She has taken job as finance director for city of Chesterfield by Mary Shapiro Joan Jadali, long-time assistant city manager and director of finance and administration for Webster Groves, is leaving Sept. 1 to become Chesterfield’s new finance director effective Sept. 5. Jadali, who lives in St. Charles, has been with Webster Groves for 10.5 years. She was hired as the director of finance and administration in March 2007 and then promoted to add the assistant city manager job in July 2014.
During a city council meeting on Aug. 15, Webster Groves Mayor Gerry Welch said Jadali is “greatly respected and admired” by officials and staff. “Joan has been an innovative, accommodating person,” City Manager Steve Wylie said. Council Member Greg Mueller praised Jadali, saying the city’s budgets have been recognized with awards and have been fiscally sound “due primarily to her hard work and diligence.” Jadali said her feelings on leaving Webster Groves are bittersweet. “I have had a great career with many fond memories and wonderful relationships that I have established here in Webster Groves,” she said. “I will miss my co-workers very much.
However, Chesterfield is providing me with new opportunities and challenges that will broaden my skill set and I am looking forward to them.” Overall, Jadali’s 17 years of experience include various facets of finance specific to municipal government. Jadali has been a regular speaker at the Government Finance Officers Association conferences since 2010 and has been featured in numerous publications. She has received the GFOA Distinguished Budget Award for Webster Groves from 2008 to 2017. Welch said it may take a few months to find Jadali’s replacement.

Bicyclists Display Reckless, Illegal Behavior For the fourth time in a month (and numerous times in the past), I have witnessed reckless, illegal behavior by cyclists on Kirkwood roads. They run stop signs and lights whether traveling alone or in packs, not even slowing down to look at oncoming traffic or pedestrians and not signaling their intention to turn. In groups, they occupy the whole lane, forcing drivers to speed up to pass them. If they don’t have any regard for their own safety and welfare, they should consider the driver who may accidentally hit and injure or kill
them. That this driver may have to live with this traumatic memory for the rest of a lifetime is inexcusable. And bicyclists should certainly not expect to collect any monetary claim from a driver when illegal behavior is involved. With the school year beginning, it is important not only to set a good example of proper, legal bicycling rules on streets for children, but also to avoid involving these students in reckless injuries by cyclists as they walk to or from school. Children copy adult behavior. Would you teach your
children to speed through stop signs and lights? Then why do you? I am all for bicycling for exercise and as a means of transportation. I applaud the safety helmets they wear. But if a car hits them, a helmet will not prevent injuries to the rest of their body. And if I see any more of this reckless disregard for traffic rules, I will lobby for licensing and requiring insurance for these bicyclists, the same as is required for motorists.

Claims Disrespect For Authority Is Rampant As I was watching the rioting and violence in Charlottesville on television last week, I began to read the Aug. 11 letter, “President Trump Needs Help, Spread the Word,” and could see before my eyes how easily hatred evolves into chaos and anarchy when it is fueled by the kind of rhetoric used in that Webster-Kirkwood Times letter. It would seem President Trump’s only crimes are in standing with Israel, protecting our borders and our citizens from terrorists, and enforcing the rule of law. I cannot
imagine anything more dehumanizing (and destabilizing) than the wildly unfounded insinuations made about our president in the letter. To say the least, it is unhelpful to a man who carries a heavy burden of responsibility in this very dangerous age. Disrespect for authority is rampant at all levels of our culture and this is how it starts. I believe the honorable thing for each citizen of our nation to do is to give honor to whom honor is due. What would be helpful is to be a
part of the solution — starting in our very own city of St. Louis — which is now known as the murder capital of the nation. Volunteer! Help some children learn to read; affirm them in their intrinsic worth. Work in a food pantry or with Habitat for Humanity. Help some of the Nepalese and Bosnian immigrants seeking to make a home here with their gardening. Build and stop tearing down. And spread the word! Karen Bacon Oakland
Declares President Trump As Both Bad & Sick I applaud John Postel for his tongue-in-cheek letter to Mailbag last week, and for the most part agree with all that he said. However, he was wrong on two points. He said, “President Trump is not a bad man, he is not an evil man, but he is a sick man.” Sadly, he is a bad man. It is possible to be both bad and sick. Would a good man sexually assault women and brag about it, mock the appearances of several women, mock a disabled person, defame a Vietnam War POW who was tortured, repeal
crucial protection to the environment that will affect generations to come, undermine international cooperation on climate change and America’s credibility on the world stage out of mindless spite, plan to finance a large tax cut for the rich by throwing millions of the poorest, most vulnerable Americans off of Medicaid, defame a hero of the Civil Rights movement in a series of racist tweets, etc.? The second (and most important) incorrect statement Mr. Postel made
was, “Certainly President Trump’s followers are not Nazis.” No, certainly most of his supporters are not Nazis, but the events of this week prove that most Nazis are President Trump supporters. Oh, did I mention giving a forced condemnation of the Nazi, KKK and alt-right violence a day after the tragedy in Charlottesville, and then retracting it and showing his true colors the following day as proof that Donald Trump is a bad, evil man?

Learn Results Of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases Regarding Ms. Sperber’s Aug. 11 letter urging education on the safety of vaccination, I agree that education is key. But it must consist of facts and be based on careful, peer-reviewed research. The writer contends that infant mortality in the U.S. is higher than in other countries and suggests that this statistic might be explained by the higher administration of vaccines to young children. In developed nations, the primary risk factors for infant mortality are preterm birth and low birth weight, neither of which is related to vaccination. Countries with lower infant mortality rates (and better prenatal care) have fewer preterm and low birth weight infants than the U.S. Increased vaccination

has actually decreased mortality in children under 5. Big Pharma is an easy target for corporate greed, but vaccines are not a big moneymaker. Drug companies profit most from drugs used daily for common chronic diseases. By contrast, a vaccine is used once or only a few times during a lifetime. Public clinics and assistance programs help assure that vaccines are available to all who need it, at little or no cost. Vaccines are not 100 percent effective. Some people do not develop the immune response. Very young children who have not yet been vaccinated are susceptible to disease spread by an unvaccinated person. People with compromised immune systems or with certain allergies
cannot receive vaccines for medical reasons. Forgoing vaccination isn’t just a “personal medical decision”— it affects the health of our entire community, especially the most vulnerable. Yes, education is crucial. If you distrust the CDC and medical organizations, talk to an older adult or someone who has lived in an undeveloped country. Ask them about the consequences of now-vaccinepreventable diseases. This is why vaccines were developed and why health care professionals endorse them. Amy Endrizal Glendale
– Correction – In the Aug. 18 Mailbag, a point made by letter writer Maya Moody was lost in the editing process. The unedited sentence should have read: “In fact, our infant mortality rates should alarm
us to consider the health of our reproductive-age women and access to prenatal care.” According to Moody, the edits to the published version of her letter changed the meaning of the sentence.
“Have A Great School Year” After being retired from teaching for 20 years, back-to-school time still rings a bell for me. This year I am so excited to see all the Kirkwood Elementary School yard signs. No doubt these happy signs represent young parents of elementary school age children now living in Kirkwood. I live in the Tillman school district and see lots of “Trailblazer” signs. I have also seen Westchester signs. I’m still riding around looking to see signs from North Glendale and Keysor. Having taught 36 years at Westchester and graduated a daughter, son and granddaughter from Kirkwood, I know you (or your parents) have chosen an excellent school district. To all of our Kirkwood students and teachers: Have a great school year and be all that you can be. Erma Reid Kirkwood Retired School Teacher
Nothing Unfair In Recent Reports
I am responding to a couple of letters about how unfair the Webster-Kirkwood Times was to report the arrest of two teachers in the Webster Groves School District. I see nothing unfair about reporting the news as it happens. The shame should fall with the two persons who committed the crimes. They are the ones who should have given thought as to how this would affect their families, jobs and community. It’s called accountability and responsibility. Nancy Behnen Shrewsbury
Thanks Webster U. For Eclipse Event A big thank you to Webster University for the community-wide invitation to the outstanding eclipse event. The faculty lectures were extremely interesting and enlightening about many aspects of an eclipse from religious and historical thinking about the event to the reaction of bees during an eclipse to how best to ( or not to) photograph the event. There were plenty of treats and handouts and the access to the roof of the parking garage provided a wonderful place to experience the eclipse. So many in the community enjoyed the hospitality. Thank you Webster University. Gerry Welch Mayor, Webster Groves *** I expect those of us who were interested enjoyed Eclipse Day in a variety of ways. I wanted to commend Webster University for its excellent program. The event started with four lectures which were multidisciplinary. Then, with the assistance of plenty of helpful volunteers, we were directed to the roof of the parking structure where the celebration continued. There were complimentary eclipse glasses and snacks as well as food trucks. I really think they did a great job and I appreciated that they shared it with whomever wanted to join. All you needed to do was register for this free event. Thank you Webster University! Pamela Peigh Webster Groves

The Great American Eclipse: What You Didn’t See by Mary Bufe email: mary@bufe.com
So the Great American Eclipse happened, and you can still see. Still, you might have missed a few things. I will take your questions now. Q. Did the eclipse cause anything unusual to happen? A. Yes. It caused the shutdown of the Chattanooga Bakery Co. website. Q: Why is that? A: Chattanooga Bakery Co. makes MoonPies, and it was overwhelmed with demand. According to the company’s president, who was quoted in the local paper, “You could almost follow our orders along the path of totality from Oregon to South Carolina.” Q: Wow. Did anyone else profit? A: Bonnie Tyler did. Digital sales of her 1983 “Total Eclipse of the Heart” recording increased 503 percent last week. Q: Do you know any good “Total Eclipse of the Heart” trivia? A: As a matter of fact, I do. Q: Like what? A: The song’s original title was “Vampires in Love.” Q: Wait. “Total Eclipse of the Heart” is about vampires? A: Apparently. Jim Steinman, the songwriter, says he originally wrote it for a vampire-related musical. Q: Why did he change the name? A: Well – and I’m conjecturing here – he may have wanted a title that had a better chance of making everybody’s Great American Eclipse 2017 music playlist. Q: Is it also true that he originally wrote the song for Meat Loaf, but Meat
Loaf’s record company refused to pay him, and so he gave it to Bonnie Tyler instead? A: Yes, it is! Q: Why does that matter? A: You switch out Bonnie Tyler singing “Total Eclipse of the Heart” with Meat Loaf singing “Vampires in Love” and this Great American Eclipse could have had an entirely different experience. Q: Enough on that. Did the eclipse do anything good for science? A: It raised awareness of ISO 12312-2. Q: What’s that? A: It’s the International Organization for Standardization’s specifications for solar eclipse glasses. That has now got to be the most well-known ISO standard ever, even more popular than ISO 3103. Q: What is ISO 3103? A: The official international standardized method for brewing tea. Q: Did the eclipse have any other unexpected effects? A: It caused ESPN to pull a play-byplay announcer off a football game. Q: Wait. Wasn’t he pulled because his name was Robert Lee, and the game was being played in Charlottesville, where they just removed a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee? A: No. It had to be the eclipse. I mean, come on. I’m pretty sure this announcer is a different guy. Q: Did the eclipse affect anyone else? A: It didn’t prevent one of The Bachelor in Paradise contestants from leaving before the first rose ceremony. But then, I don’t think she was in the path of totality. Q: You watch that show? A: Heavens, no.

An Impressive Show “I thought it was amazing” from page 1A children on the field, and many did. “I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to hear crickets!” announced Hixson Principal Grace Lee, just moments after the sky darkened for a minute and 15 seconds. A minute’s walk from Hixson, the Webster Groves Aquatic Center was offering a “Viewing Pool Party.” Melanie Carr and her family, residents of Webster Groves, played pool-side hosts to family members who had arrived for the eclipse event from Utah and Kentucky. Outside of the aquatic center, seated beneath the shade of a large tree, Jerry Sherman of Harster Heating and Air Conditioning was enjoying lunch, eclipse glasses in one hand, a sandwich in the other. A group of employees from PLS Logistics in St. Louis, along with a few of their family members, were gathered on the Moss Field parking lot for a better eclipse experience than afforded by their downtown office location. Gathering At Grant’s Farm Sisters Melinda and Debra Comfort drove through the night from Boston to St. Louis to make sure they were here for the solar eclipse. The pair arrived at the Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site and Grant’s Farm at 5:30 a.m. Monday, well ahead of the park’s solar eclipse viewing party. Their friend, Edna Boyd of the Central West End, joined the sisters. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime event so we wanted to be here,” Melinda Comfort of Virginia said. She said viewing the solar eclipse in St. Louis coincided with her sister’s move to the area from Boston. As soon as the sisters saw the solar eclipse they knew it was well worth the all-night drive. “It really was so awesome,” Debra Comfort said. “Seeing the eclipse while the birds were chirping and the temperature was dropping ... the way it all came together was an amazing experience.” Melinda Comfort agreed with her sister: “I didn’t know what to expect, but it surpassed my expectations.” Francis Schmitz of Chicago and girlfriend Thania Triska of O’Fallon, Ill., were also glad they made the trip to Grant’s Farm. The day before the eclipse, Triska drove to Washington, Mo., to one of the only places she could find that still had eclipse glasses available for purchase. She arrived at the store only to find they had just sold out. She and her boyfriend searched the internet to find an eclipse party providing the special viewing glasses, and Grant’s Farm was their pick. “This location is perfect and it was just awesome – truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Triska, who had fashioned a pinhole projector out of a Frosted Flakes cereal box for viewing the eclipse. “I took the day off (work) and it was totally worth it. It was even more amazing than I thought it would be – I have the chills. You could hear the birds and the crickets get louder, and you could feel the cool down. It was amazing on a celestial level.” Linda Martens of Shrewsbury grappled with how to describe her feelings after seeing the solar eclipse. “It was just ... astounding,” she said. “This is the most incredible thing I’ve seen in a very long time. I’m so glad I came out here, but now I wish I would have driven to De Soto (Mo.) for that extra minute of totality.” Looking Up From A Library Ellen Hinkebein and her 7-year-old daughter Olivia O’Brien of University City were among dozens who experienced Monday’s eclipse on the front lawn of the Webster Groves Public Library. Library staff handed out eclipse viewers,
safety information, snacks and water. “This is awesome. We wanted to share the experience with a group of strangers to make it more memorable,” said Hinkebein. Olivia described the sun as “an apple someone took a big bite out of and put it back in the sky.” “This is history – it’s cool to see it has grabbed everybody’s attention,” said Matt Reilly of Webster Groves. Tricia Beavin, also of Webster Groves, remembered seeing an eclipse in 1979 as a freshman at the University of Kansas. “It made a real impact on me. The chance to experience it with the crowd’s excitement is really fun,” Beavin said. Husband Bill rescheduled a Monday business flight to be with his family. Gerry and Sharon Rullkoetter live just a block from the library. They viewed the eclipse with daughters Laura Landsbaum, of the Houston area in Texas, and Lisa Walters, of Webster Groves. Also joining them was Laura’s friend, Casey Mackenzie of Kirkwood, and Laura’s boyfriend, James Geary of Phoenix. “This is a significant event, and I didn’t want to miss it because I might not be around for the next one,” said Gerry Rullkoetter. Just west, on East Lockwood Avenue at Webster Groves City Hall, employees stood outside the building to catch a glimpse of the historic event. “I thought it was amazing, with the street lights coming on,” said Police Det. Jillian McCoy. “There was what looked like a diamond ring around the sun at totality,” added Deputy City Clerk Jennifer Conrad. “Residents at Sunrise Senior Living, across from city hall, were sitting outside, counting down and cheering when the eclipse happened. It made me teary.” Valley Park Levee Solar Eclipse viewers got a unique perspective from atop the Valley Park levee. Visitors came equipped with lawn chairs, cameras, tripods, binoculars, telescopes, sunscreen and sun hats. “I studied beforehand on how you can get the best eclipse experience from a high place with unobstructed views,” explained Laurie Astroth of Kirkwood. “I hike the trail up on the levee all the time and immediately thought of this vantage point.” Astroth and her sister, Beth Garza, formerly of Kirkwood and now of Austin, Texas, were not disappointed. The levee afforded great views as the moon took out the sun and the sky grew ominously dark over the Meramec River Valley. “The skies were as big for me as the actual eclipse,” said Astroth. “The quality of light was amazing. It wasn’t dusk. And it wasn’t dawn. It was a twilight zone and we half expected some aliens to land when the dark took over.” Aliens did not land on the fields below the levee, but there were plenty of people from out of town visiting friends and relatives in Kirkwood and Sunset Hills for a chance to see the 2017 celestial extravaganza. Dave Anich of Chattanooga said he thought the levee perch was perfect. He was on his cell phone to relatives in Tennessee telling them what they could expect as the phenomenon of the eclipse headed southeast on its path through the United States. Ed Craighead of Manchester set up his tripod and telescopic equipment on one of the highest points on the levee surrounding Valley Park. He offered all comers a view of the disappearing sun as the moon gobbled it up. “Come and take a look – get the view of a lifetime,” said Craighead. “There is no charge.” A number of Times’ staffers and correspondents contributed to this story.

Relax, Savor Flavors Of Wines In Jefferson County Scenic countryside close to St. Louis is perfect setting for growing number of wineries With the growing number of wineries making their home in the rolling countryside of Jefferson County, wine enthusiasts are discovering this hidden jewel close to St. Louis, south along Interstate 55. Jefferson County is bounded roughly by the Mississippi River on the east, the Meramec River on the north and the Big River on the west. It includes the towns of Barnhart, De Soto, Imperial, Hillsboro, House Springs, Herculaneum and Kimmswick. Just west of Barnhart off Highway 21, the family-owned Persimmon Ridge Vineyards invites guests for a quiet experience at its vineyards and winery with Norton and Chardonel varieties. 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. In Hillsboro on an expansive 10-acre estate off scenic Highway 21, Shrewsbury native Ed Wagner and Mark Baehmann of South County opened Wild Sun Winery on Sept. 17, 2015. Wild Sun’s portfolio of wines includes a barrel-fermented Chardonel, semidry and sweet reds and whites, a dry red blend, a Norton, a Cabernet Sauvignon. With a “great” beer master, Wild Sun is also looking to introduce a line of craft beers. The winery, open all year, has ample seating for parties large or small on decks, patio and under its new pavilion, plus acres of open green space with shade trees. In addition to wine, a limited food menu is available, including pizza, soup, sausage, cheese and bread. Picnic baskets, folding chairs and blankets are welcome.

Guests can sample wines in the indoor tasting room or outside on the courtyard patio or partially-covered deck. Listen to live music while enjoying the views on Friday nights or Saturday and Sunday afternoons. LaChance also offers a selection of local sausage and cheeses or guests may bring a picnic basket. The winery also serves lunch Wednesday through Sunday. Dinner is served on Thursday and Friday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m., by reservation only. Call the winery for reservations at 636-586-2777.

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 is on display at the museum. 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, 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 county-wide building program. The bridge now makes up the Sandy Creek Covered Bridge State Historic Site.

As fall approaches, Missouri Wine Country is preparing to celebrate its German heritage and its wineries with annual festivals. The season is the perfect time to discover the area’s award-winning wineries, its quaint historic towns and scenic countryside. Augusta and Defiance along Highway 94, as well as the historic river town of Washington, located off Highway 100, boast a number of wineries. Tourists are invited to sample locally-manufactured vintages, tour the wineries and stroll through the towns’ historic districts while browsing through the shops. Augusta The small town of Augusta is situated on the bluffs overlooking the Missouri River Valley about 35 miles west of St. Louis. In 1980, Augusta, not California, was designated as the “First United States Wine District.” As touted on its website “It (wine) is the lifeblood that holds together our community and is as central a feature to our town as the Missouri River.” With approximately 11 bed and breakfast establishments, restaurants, unique specialty shops, the quaint village is perfect for a weekend getaway. Montelle Winery is among the excellent Missouri wineries in Augusta with spectacular views of the rolling hillside vineyards. Its philosophy is to farm its vineyards with a respect for the land and the environment resulting in wines that are continuously recognized for their uniqueness and superior quality. Stop by, relax on Montelle’s deck with a magnificent view of the Missouri River Valley and enjoy its wine, music on weekends and cuisine from the Klondike Cafe. Noboleis Vineyards is one of Augusta’s newer wineries. In 2010 its first vintage of grown, produced and bottled Noboleis Vineyards wines won awards at the Missouri Governors Cup. Live music is featured on the weekends and a tasting room is open year round for a relaxing visit among the vineyards. Augusta’s annual Harvest Festival will celebrate the area’s German heritage on Sept. 15-17. The event will feature artists, artisans, vendors, a parade, a German pancake breakfast, presentations on German history and more. For more information and reservations, contact the Greater Augusta Chamber of Commerce at 636-228-4005. In addition, plein air artists are invited to paint throughout the festival. Artists may also exhibit and sell their art at the Harmonie-Verein (American Legion Hall). Begin the holiday season at Augusta’s 35th Annual Candlelight Christmas Walk on Fridays, Dec. 1 and 8, 5 to 10 p.m., when over a thousand luminaries will welcome visitors to the historic town. Shops and galleries will showcase
Area wineries welcome visitors to stop by and sample their wines. unique gift ideas, including handblown glass, local artisans, paintings and jewelry. Food vendors, restaurants, wineries and a brewery will entice attendees with traditional holiday fare. An antique trolley will offer free rides, carolers will entertain and the Augusta History Museum will feature a “German Immigrant Home at Christmas.” For more information on these events, visit www.augusta-chamber.org. Defiance Former Kirkwood residents Ken and Becky Miller are celebrating the 21st anniversary of when they opened Sugar Creek Vineyards and Winery. Along with son Chris Lorch, they produce award-winning wines. The winery, located on the Katy Trail, features live music on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and Concerts on the Hills monthly on Saturday evenings. For a beautiful setting for a wedding, check out Sugar Creek Vineyards. Katy Trail State Park runs through Defiance near the Missouri River. The town was once home to Daniel Boone, who spent his final years in a stately, four-story limestone house overlooking Femme Osage Creek. Boonesfield Village, which is open to the public, features that house and over a dozen relocated and restored 19th-century buildings. For details, call 636-798-2005. Washington The German town of Washington, billed as the “Heart of Wine Country,” is less than an hour’s drive from St. Louis on Highway 100 from Interstate 44 and is serviced by Amtrak. The historic river town, founded in 1833, offers shopping, dining, sightseeing – and wines. The German populace began with the arrival of 12 Catholic families in the fall of 1833. Many of the town’s historic structures remain. Henry Ribbe and his son Anton helped put Washington on the map as the “Corncob Pipe Capital of the World” when they began making pipes in 1869 at the Missouri Meerschaum Company. See the sights while enjoying the festivities, which the town hosts throughout the year. The annual Fall Festival of Arts and Crafts at Main and Elm street will be held on Sept. 23 and 24. It will feature artisans from across the Midwest, music and food. For other events, visit www.washmo.org.

Elk Being Restored To Southeastern Missouri In 2011, Missouri Department of Conservation began program to restore elk to the state by Marty Harris The sound of elk bugling can once again be heard in Missouri Ozark Country around Ellington, thanks to a restoration program by the Missouri Department of Conservation. Due to the old story of settlement and over-hunting, Missouri lost its last elk in the late 1800s, according to David Hasenbeck, elk program manager, Wildlife Division of the Missouri Department Conservation. Efforts to reintroduce elk to Missouri began in 2011 by bringing, from Kentucky, 35 mostly females and youngsters to the Peck Ranch Conservation Area in the southeast portion of the state. The area consists of 23,763 acres of rugged, forested hills and hollows in Shannon County. More elk were introduced to the area in 2012 and 2013, bringing the total to about 107, Hasenbeck said. “We’re now up to about 140 adults, not counting this spring’s calf crop,” he added. Peck Ranch Conservation Area is part of the 346-square-mile elk restoration zone which extends into portions of Reynolds, Carter and Shannon counties. It also includes the Current River Conservation Area. Growth of the herd in Missouri was slow in the beginning, which was to be expected, Hasenbeck said. “But we’re now turning the corner,” he added. “We had a good spring calving season. It looks like the herd has grown about 10 percent annually.” Because the herd is expanding, elk are now becoming more visible. Although most of the animals are still in the Peck Ranch area, they can be seen west of Ellington and all along the Current River, Hasenbeck said, noting that as the herd expands, so will its range.

Hasenbeck said it is important to return elk to the state. Missouri Conservation Department’s mandate is to manage and restore the forest, fish and wildlife in Missouri, he said. “When that’s feasible, that’s what we will try to do,” he said. He said other restoration efforts are also ongoing for the prairie chicken and burying beetle. Hasenbeck said other states are also seeing success in restoring their elk population. Elk once roamed throughout North America. “Most of the states surrounding Missouri also have resident elk now,” said Hasenbeck, noting that 10 different eastern states are in the process of restoring elk. “Wildlife in general is important to Missouri citizens,” Hasenbeck said. “It’s always a favorite pastime.” In Current River country, citizens enjoy hiking, wildlife viewing and paddling an Ozark stream. “This (elk viewing) is one more thing that folks can enjoy when in the Ozarks,” Hasenbeck said. “Elk add one more piece of value to that country.” To see the elk, the Missouri Department of Conservation offers elk self-guided driving tours at Peck Ranch and Current River conservation areas. Both tours have signage to help direct tourists. The Current River Conservation Area driving tour runs from Highway 106 to South Road out of Ellington. The Peck Ranch tour begins at the office. The conservation areas are open sunrise to sunset seven days a week. Elk hunting is not currently allowed. “As our population expands we’re going to look into offering a managed hunting of elk,” Hasenbeck said.

Voles Destroying Ginkgo Trees At City Hall Ground cover blamed for infestation will be replaced, along with other landscaping by Dennis Hannon Those harboring suspicions of an underground group of thieves quietly at work at Kirkwood City Hall, gnawing away at the public assets, have turned out to be right. They are voles – little furry critters that eat up to 100 percent of their body weight per day in vegetation. The greedy little goniffs are prime suspects in the destruction of as many as five young ginkgo trees on the north side of city hall that have mysteriously succumbed in the past few months. The tiny rodents have taken up residence in the blue zinger sedge the city uses as decorative ground cover along the grand entrance of city hall, and surreptitiously worked their way to the ginkgo trees, arranged in narrow rows – called bosques – on either side of the main stairway. The sedge is ideal habitat for the voles because it too has an aggressive nature, expanding in the few years since it was planted from its original beds to the bosques of ginkgoes. “The sedge grew up right around the trunks of the trees,” explained Kirkwood Horticulturist Pete Laufersweiler. “They (the voles) just burrowed beneath that sedge and chewed on the trees without anything bothering them.” The voles are now established in significant number – “they’re rodents, so I assume there’s a lot of them” – but they likely will decamp once the sedge is
Voles have taken up residence in the sedge, an aggressive groundcover on the front lawn of Kirkwood City Hall and have damaged the ginkgo trees. | photo by Diana Linsley removed, said Laufersweiler. “Once the cover is gone, they’re not going to want to be there.” The sedge will be replaced with some less boisterous species, such as prairie dropseed or purple coneflower, said Laufersweiler. Unlike blue zinger sedge, these species will not expand to cover the ground, but grow in clumps, he said. Each winter, city grounds staff will cut the plants back, keeping them where they were planted. The city also will replace the monochromatic perennial flowers arranged in beds at the edge of the grounds, near Kirkwood Road, with more colorful annual species, Chief Administrative Officer Russell Hawes, recommended at the city council’s Aug. 17 work session. The present landscaping gives the
city hall a “rather unkempt” appearance, because of the overgrown native grass, Hawes said. He suggested that a more decorous and manageable species of ground cover, and the more colorful flowers along the perimeter, might provide an appearance “a little more formal than we have now.” More colorful floral displays will make the city hall more pleasant to view for passers-by and users of the Station Plaza across the street, Laufersweiler told the council. The trees also will be rearranged and reduced in number, the two bosques containing six trees each rather than eight. Hawes estimated the cost of the project at about $3,600 for replacing the sedge and replanting and rearranging the trees. Replanting the annual flowers will cost about $550 annually.
Residents Reject Senior Housing from page 4A project fits the not-for-profit’s faithbased mission of enhancing the lives of senior citizens. But after more than two hours of discussion with residents at the meeting, Schoedel said it would be a “tough road” to pursue the idea further. “We’ve been talking about this since 2003 and have been trying to find affordable property,” he said. “We also wanted to see if the sentiment (among the neighbors) had changed. Clearly it has not, and we should not move forward. I will tell the board this is not the project to push in this area.” After the meeting, Hemphill said she felt assured Lutheran Senior Services would not pursue the development. “I have no reason not to take Mark (Schoedel) at his word,” she said. “I’m reassured that for now, this proposal won’t move forward.”
But some residents remained skeptical, and asked Schoedel if they could get assurance in writing that Lutheran Senior Services would not come back with a similar proposal in the future. Schoedel said because of the unknowns in the future, it’s unlikely the organization would give any written guarantees, but reiterated the idea would not be going forward at this time. “They told us they don’t want it and we heard them loud and clear,” Schoedel said after the meeting. Sommer isn’t completely convinced. “He still didn’t commit to anything,” she said. “I would like to be able to trust them, but I think we’ll have to wait and see. I’ll be watching the agenda of the planning and zoning commission closely for the next few months to make sure this isn’t being pushed through.” Neighbors got an assurance earlier
this week in a letter from Lutheran Senior Services that said in part: “Based on this feedback (from the Aug. 17 meeting) and the desire to be good neighbors, Lutheran Senior Services has decided not to move forward with any further discussions or development of this potential project.” Although adamantly opposed to an apartment building on the property, neighbors expressed a willingness to work with Lutheran Senior Services to come up with a way to preserve the wooded area, such as turning it into a nature preserve or a dog park. “They’re very well organized and we’d like to see that go toward their help – as they suggested – along with their offer of possible fundraising for affordable housing elsewhere or for another use of this property,” Schoedel said.
Shrewsbury Meeting On Airbnbs from page 4A and retrieving trash receptacles, one Ward 2 participant said. “Most Shrewsbury residents don’t even know we have this ordinance. It’s like a feel-good ordinance,” she told Board Member Ed Kopff. “So why should we have a ‘BnB’ ordinance? If you’re going to pass it, then you should enforce it.” The two participants in the Ward 3 meeting quickly decided Airbnb’s in
Shrewsbury would be “OK, with regulations,” said Board Member Mike Travaglini. Particularly important would be the number of days per year a home could be offered for rent, a participant said. The town hall meeting with a format using single-ward break-out sessions was a first-ever event for Shrewsbury. Mayor Felicity Buckley said she regarded it a success, worth trying
again. “I was pleased with the turnout. I’d love to have more people – the more the merrier –but I am pleased with the folks who took the time to come and express their thoughts and opinions,” Buckley said. “It gives the board and myself an opportunity to consider all sides of an issue. So that’s nice. I like that. I hope we do it a couple times a year, going forward.”

Man Charged In Double Shooting by Jaime Mowers A suspect has been charged in a double shooting in Kirkwood that left two people injured earlier this week. Joshua Watkins, 27, of the 300 block of Chicago Street in Kirkwood, was charged Wednesday, Aug. 23, with two felony counts of first-degree assault causing serious injury to the victim and three felony counts of armed criminal action and one count of unlawful use of a weapon by shooting into a motor vehicle, according to the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney. He is being held on $250,000 bond. Watkins allegedly confessed to shooting the victims – a 30-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman – at roughly 1:41 a.m. on Aug. 23 when they were in a vehicle at Ohlman Avenue and Gordon Place, located near Big Bend and Kirkwood roads just north of the Kirkwood Commons shopping center, according to Kirkwood Police Department Det. Robert Bruhy. Bruhy said the victims and the suspect – all Kirkwood residents – are known to each other, and that all three were on the scene when police arrived. Police recovered a handgun that was used in the crime and Watkins was arrested without incident. Bruhy said the victims were transported to local hospitals and are both reported to be in stable condition. He declined to say what may have sparked the shooting, but said police are still investigating.
Pedestrian Killed In Crosswalk by Kevin Murphy Kirkwood resident Edward H. Schaefer was struck and killed by an automobile on Tuesday morning, Aug. 15 — one day shy of his 86th birthday. Schaefer had entered the pedestrian crosswalk on Geyer Road at Jefferson Avenue in Kirkwood sometime prior to 8 a.m. He was struck by a vehicle traveling south on Geyer. He was transported to a hospital where he died from his injuries about an hourand-a-half later. Scott Schaefer, the victim’s son, said he was told by Kirkwood police that the woman who struck his father, who is from out of town, said she did not see him in the crosswalk. He said the pedestrian crosswalk, close to the apartment complex where Edward Schaefer lived, is clearly marked as such. Kirkwood Police Department Det. Robert Bruhy said charges are not being sought against the driver. “We believe it’s nothing more than a traffic accident at this point,” he said. After service in the U.S. Army, Mr. Schaefer worked on numerous fighter aircraft programs at McDonnellDouglas Aircraft as a design engineer and project manager. In retirement, he was active in his church and volunteered for Kirk Care Inc. food pantry, Shepherd’s Center of Webster Groves-Kirkwood and Meals-On-Wheels. He was also a frequent contributor to the letters page of the Webster-Kirkwood Times.

Thanks to Our Citizens
A Message from Mayor Gerry Welch Our community is certainly made up of compassionate and caring people. We are responsive to the needs of our friends and neighbors in a way that is thoughtful and kind. And, we do so without fanfare and recognition. In the past few weeks, there have been two efforts directed at people in need in our City. A Go Fund Me account has been established to bring Raynard Nebbitt and his sister Kathy back to live in their hometown. As
of this writing close to $30,000 has been raised for them. The Miller Family recently lost their home and all of their possessions in a tragic fire. So many efforts are taking place to help this family bring some normality to their lives as they deal with the everyday efforts of raising four children as well as the long-term issue of finding a permanent home. This is truly a generous and kindhearted community.

The Ice Arena truly is a cool place these days, due in no small part to the completion of the second phase of a renovation begun last year. The board partition around the rink, original from 1994, has been replaced, along with the dehumidification system and refrigeration plant. The City received a Municipal Park Grant for $475,000 and a $47,000 donation from St. Louis Rockets Hockey Association to offset the total renovation cost of $570,000.

For the City’s horticulture staff, maintaining the many plantings throughout the city is a labor of love. Each year, one horticulture supervisor, two full-time horticulture staff and two seasonal employees weed, perform tree care, prune, fertilize, water, install and tend to irrigation systems and plant hundreds of trees, shrubs and perennials and thousands of annuals. They are augmented by a fulltime and a part-time employee who dedicate their time to plants, beautification and watering in the Old Orchard, Old Webster and Crossroads business districts. “The park system has grown exponentially in the nine years that I have been here,” said Park Superintendent Yvonne Steingruby. “We have added renovations to Lockwood Park, Lockwood median, Southwest Park, Margaret Atalanta Park, three business districts, Sculpture Park, several bridge beautification projects, Garden Avenue and Shady Creek. In the future we will be adding amenities, trails, pavilions and updates to Barbre, Glen, Lorraine Davis and Southwest park, as well as the new Great Rivers Greenway trail, and a new park at Owen Development.” The maintenance crew is an integral part of the Parks Division with three full-time and two part-time staff. Their duties include emptying more than 100 trash cans four times a week, mowing 35 properties, cleaning park pavilions for rentals, maintaining bathrooms, tennis courts, basketball courts, and ballfield facilities. They also care for all of the park equipment and ballfield irrigation, and provide support for camps, events and special activities. “The staff is very dedicated and love what they do, and I think that is why we have been able to accomplish what we have so far,” she said. “It’s a lot of work, but I think the product is great and worth it.”
For the remainder of the summer, the Aquatic Center will open at 3:30 p.m. for lap swimming and 4 p.m. daily for open swim in all pools.

to Missouri in 1959. Jackie worked in various positions in journalism and was the editor for the C.V. Mosby newsletter, The Mosby Times Mirrored. In her later years she edited medical textbooks and the newsletter for the Samoyed Club of America. Although Jackie’s husband Parch and her two children, Alison and Mark, were her first loves, her second love was her dogs, all of which were Samoyeds. She always had a Samoyed in her home up until the last few years of her life and the walls in her home were filled with pictures of family, her beloved personal dogs Frostie, Gambler, Cheers and Chloe and her cats, Calico and Hobie. Jackie was very active in the dog world, being a dedicated member of the Samoyed Club of America, the St. Louis Samoyed Club and St. Louis Samoyed Rescue. If you ever wanted to be reincarnated, the best spot in the world was to be one of Jackie’s Samoyeds! Jackie was preceded in death by her husband, Ruell Bradford Parchman, and her beloved “Little Pollyanna” daughter, Alison Parchman Schomburg (husband, William Schomburg). She is survived by her son, Mark Bradford Parchman (wife, Sue Anne Dougherty) of Bend, Ore; her grandchildren, Sydney Elayne Parchman and Tristan William Oakes Parchman of Bend, Ore.; Jackson Basden Howard III (wife, Lindsey Howard) of Chicago, Ill.; Spencer Oakes Howard of Denver, Colo.; Kelly Christine Howard Yates (husband, Benjamin Yates) of Springdale, Ark.; and her two great-grandchildren, Stella Yates and Ford Yates of Springdale, Ark. Jackie was always the warm, caring and engaged person that she was known as to her family, and everyone who had the fortune to meet and know her. She will be missed dearly by her family, friends and many, many people. A memorial service for her will be held in Kirkwood, Mo., in the early fall, and the time/date will be announced at a later date. Schaefer, Edward H. Aug. 16, 1932 – Aug. 15, 2017.

St. Louis County
County Seeks Bids For Road Resurfacing Cracksealing will take place in & around the Kirkwood area by Charles Bolinger During its Aug. 15 meeting, the St. Louis County Council received plans, specifications and cost estimates to approve and authorize bids for various road resurfacing projects around the county, which is estimated to cost $750,000. According to Daniel Dreisewerd, acting transportation director, the projects provide for supplying and applying an ultra-thin bonded asphalt plus cracksealing. “Cracksealing” is the process by which cracks in a road’s driving surface are filled with tar, according to David Wrone, public information manager for the county’s transportation and public works departments. In and around Kirkwood, the cracksealing would affect the following roads: • .75-mile stretch of Big Bend Road between Couch Avenue and Interstate 270; • 1.61 miles of Big Bend between Interstate 270 and the Union Pacific Railway overpass; • Marshall Road from Big Bend Road to 545 feet southwest of Big Bend, or .11 mile; • Marshall Road/St. Louis Avenue from 300 feet west of Timberbrook Drive to 100 feet west of Grand Glaize Parkway, or 1.76 miles. Dreisewerd said all affected roadways would remain open during construction and the department would handle traffic. Wrone said the work would start this fall and end next spring, or begin next spring and end by the summer of 2018.

“A Man Called Ove” Grabs The Heart, Tickles The Funny Bone Book Review
BIRD FEEDER RAFFLE
by Linda Jarrett
Sometimes a book comes along that grabs the heart and tickles the funny bone. Fredrik Backman’s “A Man Called Ove” is such a book. Raised in a strict household, Ove is 16 years old when he loses his father; his mother is already dead. He continues on his same path, believing things should be done a certain way, and has no patience for those doing otherwise. When Ove reaches 59 years old, he is forced to retire, and lives alone in a community of row houses. Every morning he checks to see if any vandalism has occurred, if there are any unauthorized cars in guest parking, if there is any trash lying about, and makes notes on those not adhering to the association rules. At one time, he was association president, but was forced out after the members could not put up with his rigid ways. The one light in his life was his wife, Sonya, who has recently died. He visits her grave every day, bringing her fresh flowers even though the weather is below zero, and talks to her about his grievances. He and Sonya had been best friends with Anita and Rune, but Ove and Rune got in an argument when Rune bought a BMW. Ove owned a Saab and had no use for someone with no better sense than to not buy a Saab. “Then one day, about a year ago, it all came to an end. Rune became ill. Never came out of the house anymore. Ove didn’t even know if he still had the BMW. And there was a part of him that missed that bloody old sod,” Backman writes. Deciding there is nothing more in life to live for, he plans to do away with himself. His first attempt by hanging is disrupted by a young Iranian family moving in next door, when the man runs over Ove’s mailbox.

Ove charges out of his house and yells, “You can’t drive a car in here! Can’t you read?” (Another rule is that no one can drive in the residential area.) When it becomes apparent Patrick can’t get the car and trailer in the small space between the houses, Ove decides to do it and mutters, “Holy Christ. A lower-arm amputee with cataracts could have backed this trailer more accurately than you.” Each suicide attempt is met with another disruption, ranging from broken ropes to an interruption in a gasfilled garage. Backman introduces more colorful characters as the book evolves, including a mangy cat with one ear and half a tail who attaches itself to Ove, and a homosexual barista at a local coffee shop to whom Ove refers to as “bent.” Each chapter title gives a hint of its content such as “A Man Who Was Ove and A House That Ove Built,” or “A Man Called Ove and A Clown Called Bleppo.” This book tugs at the heartstrings, without being sappy.

O.K. Hatchery Stays True To Roots Small family business continues to thrive
by Linda Briggs-Harty For many, Kirkwood evokes the ideal small town, with big city amenities. In the heart of the historic district, O.K. Hatchery Feed and Garden Store stresses small town values, one scoop of bird feed or sale of baby chicks at a time. For 90 years, the iconic retailer has been the store where locals and others find just about anything. Anything, that is, tied to gardening, husbandry, bird feeding, pet care and the like. Inside the red barn-like building on Argonne Drive, patrons find a plethora of goods from garden tools, pots, decor, footwear and organic fertilizers to dog food, feline formulas and O.K.’s special bird feed, mixed in and sold from metal trash cans. “The big box stores tell people looking for unusual items to check us out,” said Pat Krieger, business manager and wife of Ron Krieger, who is the son of O.K. Hatchery founder Oscar Krieger (hence the O.K. in the company name). “The main thing we sell, however, is knowledge – knowledge of the area, our products and the historic community,” she continued. This summer, the fourth generation of Kriegers took part in the business. Ron and Pat Krieger’s sons, Mark and Steve, have worked with their parents since graduating from college years ago – Mark Krieger in business, Steve Krieger in horticulture. Steve Krieger’s three children – Erickson, Emily and Mallory, all Kirkwood High School grads now in college – worked part-time at the hatchery before heading back to school recently. Mark Krieger’s two sons, Ben and Theo, are right behind their older cousins: Ben, now a freshman at Saint Louis University High School, put time in at the store this summer. His younger brother Theo, a College School student, looks ahead for his turn at the store. It’s a family affair, with the whole bunch sharing in Kirkwood’s rich history. Pat and Ron Krieger graduated from Kirkwood High School in the mid-1950s. Her family raised chickens and grew up near the first O.K. Hatchery off of Essex. Their sons Mark and Steve Krieger graduated from Kirkwood High in 1978 and 1982. Mark Krieger is married to Elysia, and Steve is married to Sheryl. O.K. Hatchery Founder Oscar Krieger met his wife and business partner, Lucille Krieger, at the old Brown College, which became Sanford-Brown. True to its roots, the store again sells supplies for chicken rearing. Loosening laws regarding backyard chickens along with interest in sustainable gardening and organic foods prompted O.K. Hatchery to up the ante about five years ago in serving those needs, Pat Krieger said. For years, since its start in 1927, chickens stole the

show at O.K. Hatchery. Back then, Oscar Krieger opened what would become one of the main hatcheries and feed stores in the region. The budding businessman, whose father died young, ran a hatchery next to the family home where he lived with his mother and two sisters. At its height, O.K. Hatchery incubated over 175,000 eggs from nearby farms, staggering sales of baby chicks in the spring to meet the demand. A fire in 1944 engulfed the hatchery building and an adjacent broiler house full of hens on sale for cooking/frying. The Kirkwood Fire Department saved the Krieger family home, though all but a partly-built structure survived on the business side, Ron Krieger said. Oscar Krieger made the partly-erected building larger than first planned and kept the hatchery going. Before long, he had to react to the waning interest in chicken rearing after the rations and wartime

shortages of the 1940s. In 1947, Oscar Krieger bought the Coulter Feed Co. building on Argonne Drive and moved just one incubator upstairs. Along with chicken supplies, he sold other animal feed and expanded on pet food and pet care stock. His now locally famous bird feed mix drew rave reviews from the start, Pat Krieger said. “Birds have been known to turn up their beaks at the feed bought from the discount stores once they’ve tasted O.K.’s mix,” she joked. In 1953, the store moved a bit farther south, to East Madison. Oscar Krieger and company still sold baby chicks, but by this point local farmers brought in the supply each spring. In 1966, Oscar Krieger asked son Ron to take over the business. A geology major, Ron Krieger had been working for the Missouri Transportation Department. «continued on page 5B

The Reel World Movie & DVD Reviews by Kent Tentschert & Lynn Venhaus Movie questions or comments? reelworld@timesnewspapers.com
The Trip To Spain
3-B
JOIN THE FIGHT FOR ALZHEIMER’S FIRST SURVIVOR.
Kent’s Grade: B+
Genre: Comedy/Drama Rated: This film is not rated.
THE PLOT: Once again Steve (Steve Coogan) and Rob (Rob Brydon) unite to set out on a journey of discovery: Steve to write about a similar journey he undertook 32 years ago as an 18-year-old, Rob to review and write about memorable food. Together they eat their way across Spain as they laugh together and attempt to keep life’s stresses at bay while enjoying a Spanish lark. KENT’S TAKE: “The Trip To Spain” is the third installment in Steve Coogan’s and Rob Brydon’s road adventure series. Defined by excellent food and even better company, their journeys have previously characterized Steve and Rob as goofy playboys. However, in this installment we meet more mature and funnier men. Although the backdrop is still memorable, Rob and Steve are more real and they are more accessible to a broader audience. Their interactions must be both ad-libbed and scripted creating a hybrid real life fantasy. This connection is partially due to the troubles that Steve experiences on the trip. As he traverses the breathtaking craggy and lush landscapes, his life slowly begins to unravel. However, Steve’s life falls apart in small pieces
Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon eat their way across Spain in “The Trip To Spain” and the fun they are having is so engrossing, we don’t notice it until the final act of the film. This stronger narrative also propels the story at a slightly faster pace than the previous two films and as a final crescendo leaves us with a cliff hanger for the next film. Steve and Rob are so good together that this film wouldn’t work with any substitutes. From their friendly ribbing, to some great impressions (Bowie, Jagger, McCartney, Woody Allen, Michael Caine, Brando, Sean Connery, Ian McKellan), coupled with their playfulness with the Spanish language, the seasoned kitchens and skilled chefs – this decadent film may give you indigestion, but may fully satisfy. “The Trip To Spain” is a sumptuous delight as two friends enter a bubble of perfection to holiday in an arresting setting, but life becomes a player in this unfolding tragedy and adds spice to the delectable fare.

Webster Groves Boys Soccer
Statesmen Start Over With Young Team
Season opens with 2-1 win over Ladue, 2-2 tie with Lindbergh
by Rick Frese Tim Cashel, Webster Groves High School’s long-time boys soccer coach, is not a fan of penalty kicks (PKs) as a way to decide a tie game. On Aug. 22, in a game that had gone 100 minutes (two 40-minute halves and two 10-minute overtime periods), Webster Groves and Lindbergh played to a 2-2 tie entering PKs at Selma Field. It was only fitting to end the game with a tie because of darkness. Cashel and Lindbergh Coach Mark Giesing agreed to end the game in a deadlock for the protection of the players. “We need to walk out of here with a point,” Cashel said. “It’s the right thing to do. “I don’t believe in this penalty kick rule,” he said. “Both teams played really hard. We fought back. It was dark. I’d just like to give each team a reward today.” Webster Groves opened the game with no intensity or enthusiasm and trailed, 1-0, at halftime. A tirade from Cashel to his players during intermission led the Statesmen to play more aggressively in the final 40 minutes. “The first half could have been better,” said senior forward Jordan Andrews. Andrews, along with goaltender Sam Gomez, are the remaining two players from the 2015 state championship team. “We weren’t dialed in,” he said. “The second half, we knew what we needed to do.”

The game had two lead changes and two ties. “I think we raised our intensity level,” Cashel said. “I feel awesome right now. What we saw from a bunch of young kids that got pushed around is that they pushed back. I think this is a great sign for who we are. We have a very young team. But we have good soccer players. Today, I think we saw the mental side

Backpack Blessing For Students At St. Mary Magdalen Parish Students and parishioners of Saint Mary Magdalen celebrated the start of the new school year on Aug. 13 by attending a special “Backpack Blessing” during Mass. Father Jack Siefert called all students in the parish forward and gave them a special blessing for a great year. Each of the students received a tag to attach to their backpacks for the year.
