Hospitals near capacity as virus surging locally and across state See related article, Page 20A

By GLORIA LLOYD News Editor St. Louis health leaders appealed to Missouri Gov. Mike Parson to issue a statewide mask mandate and stay-at-home advisory as a surge in COVID-19 cases overwhelms hospitals including Mercy Hospital South, forcing them to turn away patients.

But so far the governor has resisted.

If the numbers continue at the current record-setting pace, hospitals will run out of beds in intensive-care units in two weeks, just as officials fear Thanksgiving gatherings will further spread the virus.

The number of average daily hospitalizations is now nearly three times what health leaders classify as the “sustainable” level of 40 per day, reaching 125 Nov. 13.

By GLORIA LLOYD News Editor With COVID-19 cases overwhelming hospitals, St. Louis County residents will be encouraged for the next month to stay home and only leave to go to work, school, medical care, grocery shopping and other essential activities in a modified stay-athome order issued Nov. 13 by County Executive Sam Page.

In rules set to go into effect at 12:01 a.m.

Nov. 11, after press time, Page’s “safer at home order” will not classify businesses as essential and nonessential as his twomonth stay-at-home order did early in the pandemic.

But all businesses, retail or otherwise, will be limited to 25-percent capacity instead of 50 percent. Indoor dining at restaurants is

Honoring veterans even during a pandemic

Sperreng Middle School students celebrated local veterans in a unique way last week on Veterans Day with a socially distanced, drive-thru recognition event. From the safety of their cars, veterans drove through the school parking lot enjoying music, performances and messages of thanks from Sperreng students. The band played music; the color guard waved red, white and blue flags; cheerleaders and dance team members performed; and student leaders held thank you signs.

New developer is negotiating with UrbanStreet to buy Crestwood mall for mixed-use

By ERIN ACHENBACH Staff Reporter A developer for the former Crestwood Plaza mall site is in discussions with the property’s current owner, UrbanStreet, to potentially buy the site and move forward with a new mixed-use redevelopment.

The former mall closed in 2013. In the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, Walpert Properties backed out of a $300 million redevelopment in May. After the city issued a request for proposals this summer to find a new developer, the Board of Aldermen examined two submissions in multiple closed sessions,

which is allowed under state law due to the sensitivity of real-estate negotiations, and selected a proposal for a mixed-use development on the full 40-acre site at Watson and Sappington roads. The second plan only covered part of the site.

By ERIN ACHENBACH Staff Reporter The Mehlville School District is trying to make the return to schools safer for students and staff by upgrading air quality, but some teachers are still nervous about teaching in person during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Board of Education unanimously voted Sept. 17,

before students returned, to spend $200,000 in leftover contingency funds and upgrade air quality with roughly 40 ionizers, or about two per school. Installing the highest quality air filters — as some private schools have — would have cost more than $2 million, but Superintendent Chris Gaines proposed the lower-cost alternative.

Students all returned by October, but high school is revert-

ing to virtual (see Page 7A). Roughly 2,000 of the district’s 10,000 students are enrolled in the all-virtual academy Mehlville@Home and will not return in person.

Mehlville National Education Association President Deana McKelvie read emails from teachers that outlined their fears about returning to in-person learning as the virus

Mehlville Fire Protection District Protecting Life and Property in South St. Louis County for Over 60 Years

Mehlville FPD and Washington University EMS Advancements in Patient Care WUEMS has unique capabilities that benefit Mehlville Fire Protection District and other agencies it oversees. Many of WUEMS’s physicians are former EMTs and Paramedics, and some have been firefighters as well.

This prior experience helps EMS physicians understand and work well in the EMS setting. WUEMS is the only Physician-level Emergency Medical Response Agency (EMRA) licensed in the State of Missouri. The EMRA is available 24/7 to respond to emergency scenes throughout the state, helping with evaluation and treatment including field amputation. WUEMS operates a fleet of 5 marked EMS response vehicles capable of emergency vehicle operations and radio communication with first responders.

MFPD looks forward to a long and fruitful partnership with WUEMS.

Dr. Melissa Kroll (right) assists Critical Care Paramedic Private Ryan O’Shea with preparations for advanced airway management training.

In July, Washington University School of Medicine EMS (WUEMS) was awarded the contract for medical oversight of Mehlville Fire Protection District. Jeffrey Siegler, MD, EMT-P serves as medical director, and Melissa Kroll, MD serves as assistant medical director. Both are board-certified in Emergency Medicine and EMS and are graduates of the Washington University School of Medicine EMS Fellowship.

In 2021, MFPD’s mobile integrated health division Mehlville Mobile will be moving beyond its initial mission to reduce high utilization to explore other programs to connect patients with resources and offer more options and comprehensive care in the home. This includes giving them options when they call 911. “In the long run,” said Dr. Kroll, “when our patients call 911, we would like to offer multiple services, ranging from critical care management of the severely ill to providing treatment within the home or transporting to an alternative destination such as an Urgent Care.”

Since July, Drs. Siegler and Kroll have been working to advance EMS practice at MFPD. “Our goals are to ensure the delivery of high-quality, progressive medical care in the out-of-hospital environment, maintain a continuous quality improvement program, provide education and training to our EMTs and Paramedics, and conduct EMS research,” said Dr. Siegler. “We will continue to advance the abilities of our Critical Care Paramedics so that our patients can benefit from early, aggressive medical care.” In the future, MFPD’s Critical Care Paramedics may be trained to perform blood transfusions, critical medication infusions, ultrasounds, and laboratory tests.

WUEMS is also responsible for the education of Washington University School of Medicine EMS and Emergency Medicine Fellows, Residents and Medical Students. They have been participating in observation and ridealongs with MFPD crews.

Christmas in Crestwood highlights a month of holiday activities in the city The all-volunteer nonprofit organization Christmas in Crestwood has planned a month of socially distanced activities designed to entertain Crestwood residents and visitors alike this holiday season, including a student essay contest, Santa Scavenger hunt and classic car parade.

The Christmas in Crestwood 2020 celebration kicked off Nov. 12 — the city’s birthday — and runs through the last day of the year, Dec. 31, and activities can be participated in even with a stay-at-home order.

Santa Claus comes to Crestwood for his annual visit Dec. 5 with a classic car parade at 3:30 p.m. instead of individual Santa photos, food drive and fireworks at St. Raymond-St. Elizabeth Church, 1420

Sappington Road. Santa will head south on Sappington Road, eventually making his way through all four wards in the city.

Kindergarten through 12th-grade students will be able to write about their favorite holiday tradition for prizes.

Shoppers can save their Crestwood business receipts for a chance to win a $1,000.

By GLORIA LLOYD News Editor The owner of a residential eating-disorder group home proposed for South County has filed a lawsuit against St. Louis County over zoning after the county reversed its decision to allow the facility to open without going through the rezoning process.

Monte Nido, a Miami-based national provider of eating disorder treatment services, filed suit Oct. 16 against St. Louis County because the county

reversed its decision to move forward with zoning for the company’s proposed eight-person group home for eating disorder treatment at 7190 Christopher Road in Oakville, which had previously served as a large single-family home.

“We sincerely regret that we have been forced to bring legal action. We feel the County’s actions unlawfully discriminate against individuals with protected disabilities,” said Jennifer Gallagher, (See FILES, Page 14A)

By ERIN ACHENBACH Staff Reporter The new zoning code proposed for Crestwood could take away some of the power aldermen currently have to make zoning decisions.

The Crestwood Board of Aldermen will hold a public hearing on the new zoning ordinance when it meets by videoconferencing at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 24.

Crestwood Mayor Grant Mabie takes questions from the public, without a require-

ment to sign up in advance. A final vote could happen Tuesday, Dec. 8.

The revamped zoning code has been an ongoing project between the city and planning firm Peckham Guyton Albers and Viets since 2018. The Planning and Zoning Commission began reviewing the draft ordinance from PGAV in July 2019, beginning with the new sign code, which was formally adopted by the Board of Aldermen in January this year.

Board may not require rugby traffic rating

By ERIN ACHENBACH Staff Reporter The Sunset Hills Board of Aldermen might lift a traffic study rating required for the St. Louis Bombers Rugby Club to lease the former Sunset Hills Golf Course for a rugby facility, revisiting the project more than a year after approving it.

The Board of Aldermen is set to vote during a special videoconferenced meeting Tuesday, Nov. 24 on an ordinance amending the development plan for the St. Louis Bombers Rugby Club to remove a condition that a traffic study conducted by the Bombers come back with a “D” rating or higher for the intersection at West Watson and Gravois roads. But the Bombers now say that’s a condition that’s impossible to meet because the intersection was failing long before they proposed the facility.

Last year, aldermen approved a 25-year

lease that gives the Bombers roughly 15 acres of the southeast portion of the property at 13366 W. Watson Road for a rugby complex. The former Sunset Hills Golf Course was donated to the city in 2018 by physician Steven Bander and is now known as Steven J. Bander Park.

Two conditions of the amended development plan aldermen approved 5-2 in September 2019 were that the Bombers place a no-right-turn sign onto West Watson Road from their facility and that the traffic study of the West Watson/ Gravois intersection come back with a rating better than “D,” several steps below the highest “A” rating. However, the traffic study completed in March showed that forcing traffic to the West Watson Road/ Highway 30 intersection by preventing the right turn onto West Watson would further (See RUGBY, Page 26A)

Editorial Our Call

War on COVID-19 can be won by wearing a mask

Are we at war with COVID-19?

That was the explicit message from the leaders of St. Louis hospitals last week, as they emphasized how they’re fighting a battle on the frontline of a raging pandemic, with hospitals soon filled to capacity and no backup “army” in sight. They asked Missouri’s general, so to speak, Gov. Mike Parson, to bring down case levels through a state mask mandate.

“Make no mistake, we’re at war, and right here, right now, the virus is winning that war,” said Dr. Alex Garza, who has served in the military and as the chief medical officer of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Parson was just elected Nov. 3 after a campaign in which he said he would leave mask mandates up to local jurisdictions like St. Louis County. So while he probably won’t change his mind, he should.

He would be following in the footsteps of GOP governors in liberal bastions like Texas and Arkansas, and Parson could show Missourians that they need to be wearing masks.

National polls show that most Republicans support mask mandates.

Garza and local health leaders are not the first to make this comparison.

Even President Donald Trump, who called the coronavirus a hoax and has repeatedly said it would be magically eradicated by the day after the election, Nov. 4, actually called himself a “wartime president” in March.

Living through a war can require a shared sacrifice, one we continue to honor each year on Veterans Day (see Page 1A).

But Missouri, especially rural Missouri, has a history of going above and beyond for war efforts.

During World War I, “Missouri mules” were sent by the thousands to the trenches to help our soldiers fight that long, lonely war. Springfield, Missouri alone sent $2 million of mules overseas.

If we can raise mules to send them over oceans to help soldiers thousands of miles away, we can wear masks to protect our neighbors right next to us. It’s so much easier to participate in this war effort than the one 100 years ago, no mules required.

With or without a mandate, Missourians should wear masks for “Uncle Sam” and themselves. We can do it.

City shouldn’t ignore traffic study as requirement for Bombers Rugby To the editor: After rushing a lease with the the St. Louis Bombers Rugby Club, Sunset Hills Mayor Pat Fribis and the Board of Aldermen required a traffic study to ensure safety, a common sense response following resident outcry.

The rugby development plan failed the traffic study due to dangerous conditions on West Watson Road and the Gravois intersection.

The board’s solution? Eliminate the traffic study requirement

that they unanimously supported.

Our city government continues to prioritize an outside entity over the safety and peaceful enjoyment of residents.

Enough is enough. Call and email the mayor and board and remind them that residents and safety should always come first.

John Stephens Sunset Hills

Editor’s note: Stephens ran against Fribis for mayor in June.

Electoral College is contrary to democracy by ignoring popular votes To the editor: What about the Electoral College issue?

The Electoral College was established

by Article II of the Constitution, amended by the 12th Amendment in 1804, and is operational in presidential elections only.

Originally, a vote for a presidential candidate was actually a vote to instruct the electors of your state to cast their votes for your candidate. So, electoral votes reflected the popular vote. That’s the way it used to be.

Over the years, politicians enacted winner-take-all state laws that required all elec-

tors to vote for the candidate with the most popular votes in their state. Forty-eight states have winner-take-all laws. A federal appeals court in August 2019 upheld these laws as constitutional.

But these laws have an inherent inequity: votes of the minority are —in essence — not counted.

For example: Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in California in the 2016 election, which resulted in 4.5 million votes for Donald Trump being disregarded. All electoral votes went to Clinton. And the votes of 3.9 million Clinton voters met

the same fate in Texas. In 2016, the votes of 55 million people (42 percent of the electorate) were disregarded due to the winner-take-all system.

If America is to maintain its democracy, the Electoral College needs to be disbanded. The popular vote (one person, one vote) is operational in all other elections. Shouldn’t our president be elected in the same manner?

Michael K. Broughton Green Park

Editor’s note: Michael K. Broughton is a Green Park Ward 1 alderman.

Masks and social distancing are necessities due to toll of COVID-19 To the editor: With daily new coronavirus cases at a new high nationally, it is time for all of us to delay some gratification and make some sacrifices. Otherwise, hospitals and their

exhausted staff will soon be filled beyond capacity.

The death toll is already staggering.

Limiting those who you come within 6 feet of without a mask except for those you

live with just has to be the way it is until the virus in the community is significantly diminished.

Gary Werkmeister Oakville

Packing Supreme Court should have been answered during election To the editor: President and Vice President candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris refused to answer the question “what is your policy about ‘packing’ the Supreme Court?”

They said they will answer it after the

election.

Isn’t the purpose of campaigning to tell us what their policies are, and to explain and justify why their policies are needed and best for today’s issues?

If they refuse to answer the question

about “packing,” what other policies have they not told us about to surprise us with?

‘Say their names’: Letter writer outlines ‘how racism plays into world’ To the editor: If I were to share my opinion on the world and its problems right now, I would start off by talking about racism. We have been surrounded by issues with racism for a very long time.

We have come a long way, but it doesn’t mean that the discrimination has stopped.

In today’s world, black people are facing an extreme amount of hate.

As most people know by now, George Floyd’s death has started a movement.

George Floyd died from a police officer kneeling on his neck for eight minutes, causing him to die of suffocation. After

people had found out George did not cause any harm to the cop and did not fight him, they were angry.

They should be angry.

This is just one example of how racism plays into the world today. Police brutality is extremely faced towards non-whites.

Riots broke out, looting started, protests could be seen down every street and every race comes together to fight for one another’s freedom.

More innocent dead black people’s stories are being heard. We need to educate ourselves on these types of situations. We need to take a stand for our neighbors and

Call Newspapers 9977 Lin Ferry Drive, St. Louis, MO 63123 314-843-0102 • www.callnewspapers.com Published on Thursdays by Call Publishing

we need to hear them out.

We need to say their names: Rodney King, Malice Green, Abner Louima, Amadou Diallo, Sean Bell, Oscar Grant, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Elijah McClain and so many more.

These people will not stop fighting until they get the justice they deserve.

Whether you are white, black, Asian, Christian, Jewish, straight or gay, you should be standing with these people as they march. We can make a difference.

Let us give thanks, for us and future generations After nearly a year, many of us now feel this pandemic’s ghostly presence as it touches those we know.

St. Louis County is tightening restrictions on local businesses once again. Without businesses open, fewer people can return to work.

Local schools are determining whether to teach in the classroom or return to all virtual learning.

All of us are challenged. All of us are tired of the coronavirus, as our medical experts rush to find a cure or a vaccination.

While we ponder how to protect our most vulnerable populations, the elderly, those with compromised immune systems and other high risk health diseases, let’s also think about the recovery that will fall on our next generation.

Our children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren could deal with the fallout from COVID-19 for decades. The longer this pandemic is with us, the greater the likelihood of a longer and more difficult recovery.

We are in this together and we need to work together to ensure a faster recovery with less hardship on everyone, especially our children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.

All of us care deeply about our families, friends and neighbors.

Local school age children, ranging from elementary to high school, give thanks

to loved ones on Page 10A in this week’s Thanksgiving edition.

The Call’s 26th Annual “Home for the Holidays Recipe Contest” winners share recipes starting on Page 22A that may become a new tradition at your Thanksgiving or other holiday celebration.

Let’s truly put America and our world on the path to recovery. Pass it forward. Wear a mask, wash hands, stay distanced. Don’t gather in large groups.

Give thanks for those you love at home, at work, at school and far away.

Stay safe and healthy this holiday season and through the new year.

Construction kicks off on state-of-the-art Lindbergh High School after groundbreaking

By GLORIA LLOYD News Editor Construction is underway on the new state-of-the-art Lindbergh High School, after the school district officially kicked off the project in a socially distanced groundbreaking Sept. 25.

Sporting green Flyers masks, Lindbergh Schools administrators and Board of Education members joined Lindbergh High School students and staff to break ground on a state-of-the-art new Lindbergh High School that Principal Eric Cochran promised will provide flexible learning opportunities for generations of future students.

“We have an opportunity now to teach in ways with this new building that we’ve been begging for for decades,” Cochran said at the groundbreaking. “We’ve always done

a great job to prepare students academically. But now we’ll be able to do things that we’ve wanted to do for a really long time, for generations. I couldn’t be more excited both as a principal just to be part of this, a parent with a student and knowing this is going to impact my own children and the other children in this community.”

Lindbergh voters overwhelmingly approved Prop R, a $105 million no-tax-rate-increase bond issue to revitalize the Lindbergh High School campus and create districtwide safety equity through secure vestibules in April 2019. More than 77 percent of voters cast ballots in favor of Prop R, which as a bond issue required 57.15 percent for approval.

Lindbergh superintendent, when he had a conversation with the board about the need for a new Lindbergh High.

The three years since has included lots of planning and developing, culminating in the construction.

Seeing the vision come to fruition, the word that came to Lake’s mind the most was “exciting,” but the impact to the district and its residents goes beyond that, he said.

“We’re setting our community on a good trajectory for the next 50 to 60 years with this building, and we’re so super excited,” Lake said just before the shovels ceremonially entered the ground. “And I have to say it and I always do — thank you, community. Without your support we couldn’t be doing this. Thank you for valuing public education and always supporting us and our needs.”

Lindbergh enrollment dips due to COVID-19 Mehlville, Oakville highs switch to all-virtual

By GLORIA LLOYD News Editor Enrollment is down this year at Lindbergh Schools, an unusual development for the school district that officials blame on the COVID-19 pandemic.

Overall, the district has dropped in enrollment by 62 students — a turnaround from trends of the last decade and contrary to a demographic study from the district that showed steadily increasing enrollment for the next decade.

But due to the pandemic, the district added COVID-19 as a reason for withdrawal in the exit survey, and the families of 126 students who withdrew cited COVID-19 as the primary reason for leaving the district. Some of those families said they would home-school, while others chose to go to private schools.

“If you take out the 126, we would have grown this year close to projections, so that’s clearly the variable and the difference maker was the COVID-19-related reasons,” said Assistant Superintendent of

T PROTECT LF YOURSELF S & OTHERS

Human Resources Brian McKenney at the Oct. 13 Board of Education meeting. “It’s good that we can track that, and we anticipate that once things are back to normal, we continue on our normal growth pattern as we’ve got projections from our demographer for the next 10 years of pretty solid growth here at Lindbergh.”

Nearly all Lindbergh students started out all-virtual, with only K-3 starting the school year in person in the hybrid model of classes in buildings two days a week.

Every school and grade was back at least part-time at press time, with elementary school in person five days a week. The district also offers an all-virtual academy, Lindbergh ARC — Accelerated Remote Courses — which has been popular.

The district last reported its enrollment Jan. 29. The district now has 7,081 students. Kindergarten decreased by 35 students, and elementary decreased by 66 students. The district has 3,180 students in elementary, 1,681 in middle school and 2,220 in high school.

By GLORIA LLOYD News Editor Mehlville and Oakville high school students were set to return to all-virtual learning Monday, Nov. 16, the Mehlville School District announced Nov. 12 in an email to parents. Superintendent Chris Gaines said the decision was made as St. Louis coronavirus cases rise to the highest levels seen so far in the pandemic, especially in Oakville and its surrounding ZIP codes, including Concord and Arnold.

Gaines said the district tentatively plans to keep high school students all-virtual until Jan. 5, when they could return parttime to buildings in the hybrid/blended model. For now, lower grade levels will stay in the hybrid/blended model that keeps them in school buildings two days a week and in virtual learning for other days.

High schoolers at MHS and OHS just switched to in person Oct. 27 after starting the school year all-virtual. They had not attended the high schools in person since March when schools initially shut down

due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some students were already committed to attending all-virtual school through the new virtual learning academy Mehlville@Home.

Lindbergh Schools Chief Communications Officer Beth Johnston said Nov. 12 that there are no current plans for Lindbergh High School to return to all-virtual, but Lindbergh Superintendent Tony Lake has said that plans could change at any time throughout the school year.

Oakville, Arnold and Concord/Mehlville have been repeatedly identified in November as the ZIP codes with the highest number of new COVID-19 cases in the St. Louis region. The St. Louis region broke all records for COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations last week (see Page 20A).

Taking high school virtual could keep younger students in school in person, because resources can be devoted to elementary and middle schools instead of high school. Gaines said the district is “struggling with workforce shortages.”

Thanks: He came home from football practice complaining of feeling unwell. During the evening he got progressively worse and the doctor was called. The diagnosis was polio.

He was rushed to the hospital — where my brother lay in an iron lung for weeks, hovering between life and death. My brother survived but was never to walk again.

He spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

The Thanksgiving of my senior year in high school he was able to join us, despite the many months of rehabilitation ahead of him.

That Thanksgiving the family had much more to be thankful for than the usual thanks of food and fellowship. A son and brother had survived. My brother lived into his early 50s. He married, held a job and raised a family. He lived a great life, although he never walked again. He spent his time in a wheelchair, but otherwise lived a normal life.

Giving: With the expenses of caring for a son with polio, there was little money for me to go to college after high school graduation. So while my classmates went off to college, I enlisted in the Army.

When my enlistment was up, I would go

to college with the money saved from my military service and by working part-time.

I hoped to earn a scholarship to St. Louis University Law School.

During my third and last Thanksgiving in the Army, I was stationed at a guided missile base in northern California. That Thanksgiving I was responsible, along with two other non-commissioned officers, for changing the guards during the day and night. We were on a base that was closed to the public and had a guard at the front gate to keep out members of the public.

The two other non-commissioned officers were married with families that they wanted to spend Thanksgiving with. I told them to take the day and night off and I would take care of seeing that the guard was changed every couple of hours. I gave this time to them on a special day so they could be with family.

They were very appreciative to have the opportunity to spend the time with their families on Thanksgiving. I in turn learned what the “giving” in Thanksgiving meant.

It was a small price that I paid — a little lost sleep —but it meant so much to my fellow comrades.

May you all have an enjoyable Thanksgiving this month in these uncertain times.

Wishing you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving!

continues to rage during public comments at the Oct. 15 board meeting 10 days before high schools returned to buildings for two weeks.

“I’m afraid to speak up and I’m afraid if I speak up I will lose my job, but more than that I am afraid of getting COVID. Siblings of COVID-positive students are still attending school in my building.

Students show up to my classroom with symptoms, our custodial staff does not have time to sanitize all the spaces and our building is not even up to capacity with all our students back,” McKelvie read from an anonymous elementary teacher’s email. “It’s impossible to teach lessons when students are worried about things they cannot control or understand. I am defeated. I need to be alive to do my job and my students need to be healthy and feel safe to learn.”

McKelvie said the teacher’s feelings are common among the district’s teachers: “I get emails like this every day. I just want to make sure you knew what teachers were thinking right now.”

Communications Director Jessica Pupillo said administrators have been trained in contact tracing from Johns Hopkins University and ask siblings of students who have tested positive to stay home if they’ve had any contact.

The extensive contact tracing and allhands-on-deck approach required by COVID-19 has taken all the time of district officials.

“We felt like we went in 2020 with a plan of what we were going to be doing all year, and we got shot right in the eyeball on that one,” said Gaines.

Consultants provided four options to improve Mehlville’s air quality through its existing HVAC units: upgrading to superior filters, adding HEPA filters, UV sanitization or ionization.

When it comes to upgrading the air conditioner filters, “part of the problem is it’s such an upgrade it’s the difference between breathing through a T-shirt mask and breathing through something significant … It’s gonna put a strain on our systems to pump air through them.

Plus they’re expensive,” said Gaines. “So that’s probably not a viable solution for us. … HEPA filters present the same type of challenges in terms of air flow through the filter. … UV is really expensive and … they have a relatively short life span and it would be a lot of maintenance.”

Ionizers, which have about a 10-year life

Call Newspapers, Thursday, November 19, 2020 - Page 13A in-person learning: “In virtual learning, kids sort of lose that education and it’s very scary. I feel lost. I feel as though I’m losing my high productivity level. I also think education should be taught in person and not on a screen. Thank you.”

span, are cheaper in the long term, easier to install and use existing equipment. Filters could be upgraded from MERV 8 to 13.

“So far early studies on these show some effectiveness on COVID-19,” said Gaines.

The cost of each unit can range between $1,500 to $8,500, depending on size, including installation, although Gaines said that the district planned to install them to save on costs.

The systems, installed by Lindenwood University and other school districts, might also prevent the spread of the flu and common cold.

“If you think about employee productivity and student attendance at school … this might not be such a bad thing moving into the future if we can reduce illness,” Gaines said.

After starting the school year all-virtual, the district focused on four pieces of data when deciding whether to bring students back to school: regional transmission rate, county positivity rate, trends of positivity and percent change in daily new cases.

Once transmission rates stabilized around 1 earlier this fall — meaning that each existing infection causes one new infection on average instead of increasing — the district began bringing back students beginning with the youngest grade levels 3/32 first. The transmission rate has since gone above 1, however.

“As we’ve made decisions along the Ad Size(s) way, it seems like every dimension creates this multidimensional infinite puzzle with no defined solution and constantly moving parts,” said Gaines. “Every time we lay down a piece of the puzzle … there’s always a puzzle that has to be solved.”

Gaines promised weekly COVID data meetings with staff, along with updates to staff, teachers and parents once students returned. Since the very first students returned to classrooms in September, the district has been updating its COVID-19 dashboard with the number of student and staff cases and quarantines, culminating in half of Washington Middle School quarantined for two weeks in October after an outbreak with four positive student cases and three positive staff cases.

“What we’ve talked about is closing classrooms before buildings and closing buildings before the district,” said Gaines.

“Trying to shut everything down as we slowly come back.”

It’s difficult to keep students and staff free from cases as the virus spikes, Gaines said: “Wear a mask, be sure to social distance, please avoid large gatherings and limit physical contact. We’re trying to preach that over and over and over again.”

Final Approval/Date

If you’ve noticed you aren’t as steady on your Col feet as you used to be, it’s tempting1/16_1 to think that it’s just a normal part of aging. You may think that because “everyone” your age seems to be having the same trouble as you that it’s Ad Size(s) something you will have to learn to live with.

You may not know when it was that you started to lose your confidence, when you started to worry about every step you take, but now it’s starting to limit what you’re able to do.

If this is happening to you, you’re not alone. We hear these types of things all the time. In fact, Balance Issues are the most common problem we see at HouseFit. Most people realize that their balance won’t magically get better on its own, but they still don’t take action. It might be because they don’t know what steps to take to make their balance better OR they don’t truly believe balance can be improved “at their age”. Fortunately, there are several options to get you back on your feet again.

Over the last 16 years, I’ve worked with hundreds of clients who’ve had a fall (or several), and I’ve been able to help them get their lives back. In working with so many clients, I’ve been able to put together a very helpful Guide “How To Decrease Falls: Helpful Tips To Keep You Steady On Your Feet”.

Inside this special guide, I share detailed information, such as:

• Top 3 factors that cause falls and how to

11/19/20 Proof 1: KM 11/10/20 minimize your risk in each area.

• The 4 parts of balance that work together to keep us steady and how to find areas of improvement.

Issue Run Date Artist/Date Done Final Approval/Date • How to “Test Yourself ” to find out if you’re at risk for a fall.

• Simple exercises you can do at home to start improving your balance.

• AND much more!

I want to make this guide available to you absolutely free of charge! To claim your free copy, simply call my office at (314) 939-1377 or visit www.housefitstl.com/balance-falls to download the report directly to your computer.

If you’re ready to start taking positive steps toward regaining your balance and an active lifestyle, this free guide will let you to start this process with confidence!

At HouseFit, we help adults 55+ maximize their independence and fitness levels, so they can continue to enjoy a full and active life.

Re-elected Trakas is opposing Page orders

By GLORIA LLOYD News Editor With a win Nov. 3 over challenger Rep. Bob Burns, St. Louis County Councilman Ernie Trakas was re-elected to represent South County for another four years.

Trakas asked voters to give him another term because he helped send then-County Executive Steve Stenger to prison on corruption charges. In the weeks since he was re-elected, he has focused on trying to corral the powers of County Executive Sam Page to issue far-reaching stay-at-home advisories and other public-health orders.

Republican members of the St. Louis County Council have repeatedly tried this year to limit Page’s power to issue public-health restrictions, but even after gaining the support of one of the council’s Democrats for a bill that required council

• Home Residents asked to stay at home for next four weeks (Continued from Page 1A)

banned at restaurants, although outdoor dining, curbside and takeout will be allowed to operate.

The restrictions go above and beyond any restrictions set in St. Louis city or surrounding counties.

In response, Bartolino’s South posted on its Facebook page that it will be filing a lawsuit with other restaurant owners to contest the indoor dining ban, which comes at the key holiday gathering time for restaurants. A list circulated on social media of other restaurants that might sign on to the lawsuit. A gym that filed lawsuits contesting Page’s spring stay-at-home order lost in federal court.

Page was elected to a two-year term Nov. 3, the day after warning he might have to enact higher restrictions if cases rose.

“We are encouraging everyone to limit their activity in the community to what they absolutely need or their bubble,” Page said. “We are not closing any retail, we are limiting all businesses to 25-percent capacity with the exception of indoor dining in restaurants.”

Anyone who can work from home is encouraged to work from home under the order.

Although the county executive said a national mask mandate would have helped lower cases, he did not want to spend too much time retracing how the virus got to current levels: “This is where we are.

We’re here in part because of virus fatigue — many people tell me ‘I’m done with this virus,’ and I can only say this virus is not done with us.”

Page is also encouraging residents to form “bubbles” of 10 friends and family that are the only people they see outside the house, including for holiday gatherings like Thanksgiving. The members of the bubble are still required to wear masks and

approval of health orders, the coalition does not have the five votes necessary to override Page’s veto.

After the council approved a bill 4-3 that would limit Page’s executive orders by requiring the council to sign on to any extensions, Page vetoed that legislation.

On a 4-3 vote, the council could not override the veto.

“I’d need a real good handle on hard data and how it was arrived, not just platitudes, then try to navigate a way where restrictions if any are imposed, they’re done in a way that makes sense” for both public health and the economy, Trakas said of any future public-health orders, prior to Page’s new orders last week.

Trakas is holding pending legislation to limit Page’s power because as of last week, he does not have the five votes required to override Page’s veto.

socially distance when gathering.

Officials have partially blamed the recent rise in cases on large gatherings surrounding Halloween, and the county is now officially discouraging large family gatherings for the holidays.

“We have to be cautious around our holidays — this is not going to be a holiday season like anyone has seen in the past 100 years. We have to limit gatherings, we have to limit gatherings in people’s homes,” Page said. “Folks that are traveling in and out of the community are at grave risk to bring COVID to others. We have to take this very seriously. We do recognize that limiting holiday gatherings is going to be very difficult — it’s where we are until we reach the other side of this, but the next few months is going to be very difficult for everyone. There will be a great deal more loss of life and a great deal more sacrificed in the community.”

A second order expands the existing countywide mask mandate to require that everyone over the age of 5 wear a mask while outside their house, even while visiting private homes. Social distancing and staying 6 feet apart is still required.

Page’s third order will limit the county Department of Public Health’s participation in contact tracing and enforcing quarantines due to the sheer number of cases county officials are facing. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the health department has contacted those who test positive, traced their contacts, asked them to quarantine and provided a letter releasing them from quarantine. The health department will instead focus on high-risk populations and will be unable to handle every case. Anyone who tests positive for the virus is required to trace their own contacts and let them know that they’ve been exposed, and enforce their own isolation.

The order lowering business capacity will be enforced by complaints, but the county will be unable to police private gatherings inside houses, Page noted.

• Hospitals

Mercy South joins hospitals asking for a mask mandate (Continued from Page 1A)

There is “no greater threat to communities and the state” than COVID-19, Dr. Alex Garza, commander of the St. Louis Metropolitan Pandemic Task Force comprised of the area’s major hospital systems, said Nov. 13. Hospitals have “no backup” and “no reserves” if they hit those limits, he warned.

“Make no mistake, we’re at war,” said Garza, who served as chief medical officer for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security after military service. “And right here, right now, the virus is winning that war.”

Although mask wearing has helped keep numbers lower until the last few weeks, “we are past the time when individual behavior alone can address this disaster,” Garza said.

Oakville, Concord and Mehlville have repeatedly been singled out by the task force as the ZIP codes in the 15-county St. Louis region with the highest number of new cases, including last week.

The patchwork of masking policies across the region and the state — or lack of them — is bringing in more and more sick patients, hospital leaders said. Transfers from rural hospitals have had to be turned away. The Mercy system, which includes Mercy South, had to turn away 39 out of 129 requests for patient transfers the week of Nov. 2. Slowing the number of cases allows hospitals to devote more space and time to each patient, which makes for better outcomes.

Missouri added more than 28,000 cases of the coronavirus in the seven-day span that ended Friday — the same number of total cases the state reported from March to July 15. By every measure, that spike in cases is also evident in South County, where the Mehlville School District had to return its high schools to all-virtual schooling in order to keep enough staff, and South County cases hit record highs since the beginning of the pandemic in March.

The hospitalization data reported by the St. Louis task force set records last week for nearly every data point it tracks, including new hospitalizations and total hospitalizations. New seven-day moving average records were set Sunday for admissions at 108 and hospitalizations at 677.

Hospitalizations in St. Louis County, the region and the state have skyrocketed since Halloween. Without statewide action, doctors fear that Thanksgiving and flu season will bring hospitals to the breaking point.

Parson, a Republican, has so far resisted statewide action, winning election easily over State Auditor Nicole Galloway Nov. 3 after a campaign where he promised to leave any mandates up to local jurisdictions. Parson responded Friday by calling for “personal responsibility,” urging more mask wearing but refusing to mandate it.

Missouri is one of 15 states that doesn’t

have a mask mandate. After campaigning repeatedly without a mask, Parson contracted COVID-19 in September.

“Making a mask mandate a county-by-county question is not going to buy health care systems the time they need to save lives,” Garza said. “So let me be ... clear on this — a statewide mask mandate is needed to save lives across the state.”

Hours earlier, County Executive Sam Page issued a new stay-at-home advisory and broader mask mandate (see opposite).

Garza said that a similar statewide mandate could allow hospitals to stop turning away patient transfers, could get the economy functioning faster and could keep schools operating in person: “The best time to act was really yesterday, but a good time to act is now.”

Facing staff shortages, a Kansas City hospital is bringing in nurses from New Orleans. But more rural hospitals don’t have that option, and hospitals everywhere are competing for staff. The statewide turnover rate for nurses was 19 percent last year, even before the pandemic, according to a nurses’ organization. In a Nov. 6 briefing, Garza likened the staff shortage to a school district with 100 buses but only one bus driver — when that happens, the district in reality has only one bus. Beds can’t count for capacity if there’s no one to staff them.

Although health systems like Mercy laid off and furloughed thousands of workers in the spring, hospital leaders targeted those cuts away from frontline workers.

During the initial wave of COVID-19 in the spring, Dr. Aamina Akhtar, chief medical officer for Mercy Hospital South, said that doctors and nurses at the South County hospital were showered with cakes, cards and support. But the numbers of cases show that some of those same community members have not been wearing masks and staying socially distanced from others, Akhtar said at an Oct. 26 event highlighting health care workers.

“We’re frightened, we’re scared of what’s coming,” she said. “Not to say this lightly or take away from the situation, but for any ‘Game of Thrones’ fans — winter is coming, and what I mean by that is we have our general patient population we’re taking care of, we have COVID, we’re going to get an influx of our annual viral influenza cases and on top of that we still have an increase in the number of COVID cases as people move indoors. … We are going to reach numbers of patients that are going to exceed our capacity to take care of them, not our willingness, not our drive, but simple capacity.”

She encouraged residents to fight against the virus and help those same health care workers they once supported by using masks: “The one thing we do have control over is you put on your face mask. It’s empowering. … You’re saying that I am part of this community and I am going to help take care of my fellow community

1 tbsp fresh thyme, minced salt and pepper 1. Prepare the brussels sprouts by cutting off the stumpy end and halving them. Very small brussels sprouts can be left whole. Set aside.

2. Heat a large cast iron pan (or other nonstick pan) over medium heat. Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut the bacon into ¼ in chunks and add to the pan. Allow the bacon to cook slowly so that the fat can render out without burning. The fat, as much as the bacon, is the goal here.

3. Once the bacon is cooked, remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate. If the drippings are starting to smoke, turn the pan down and add a little olive oil. Add the brussels sprouts to the pan, cut side down. Cook them in the bacon drippings until the cut side is caramelized (deep brown but not black) and the uncut side looks pale and shiny, about 7 minutes.

4. After the brussels sprouts are brown, add the garlic to the pan and mix with the brussels sprouts, sautéing until fragrant, 30 to 50 seconds.

5. Remove the sprout and garlic mixture to a large bowl and mix in ¾ cup of the blue cheese and all of the bacon. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper being mindful of the saltiness of the bacon. Top with fresh thyme and remaining blue cheese.

6. Note: the brussels sprouts, garlic, and bacon can be cooked and mixed together the day before. Just reheat in the oven and add cheese and thyme.

Place ham in shallow roasting pan. Score ham by making diagonal cuts, ¼ inch deep in a diamond pattern. Roast for 1¾ hours if using bonein ham or 1 hour for boneless ham.

Meanwhile, in a bowl combine 3 tbsp of brown sugar, the 3 tbsp mustard, and rose1/16_1 Col mary. Brush mixture over the ham.

Roast 15 minutes more. For the glaze, in a 2-quart saucepan combine the remaining brown Ad musSize(s) sugar, the pineapple juice, and ¼ cup tard. Bring to boiling over medium heat, stirring frequently. Remove ½ cup glaze to brush over ham. Set aside.

Bake ham 30 minutes more or until thermometer reaches 140 degrees, generously brushing with the ½ cup glaze several times during baking.

Optional: Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream when ready to serve. * When served warm right out of the oven it will fall apart when scooped out, but it is my family’s favorite way to eat it topped with whipped cream. If stored in the fridge it sets up nice and thick and holds its shape.

You can reheat servings in the microwave.

• Rugby No prohibition on property being sold, Jones tells BoA (Continued from Page 3A)

decrease the already-dangerous intersection’s safety, and that the intersection was already “failing” even before factoring in additional traffic from the Bombers’ facility.

According to the traffic impact study conducted by traffic engineering firm CBB, the firm estimates that the proposed rugby park will generate 85 new trips during peak weekday afternoons and 250 new trips during the peak midday hour on Saturdays. With the condition that no one exit the facility by turning right onto West Watson, 90 percent of site traffic would be sent to the intersection of Gravois Road and West Watson, CBB predicted.

“A lot of people have voiced their concerns over safety. … We know that it’s still a dangerous situation as shown by the traffic study. My take is that we should do something and make it a safer situation,” said Ward 3 Alderman Nathan Lipe, a vocal supporter of the Bombers, Oct. 13.

“Turning in off of Gravois right down (West) Watson and then turning out of (West) Watson right onto Gravois would make sense and would be an instant fix to the problem.”

Mayor Pat Fribis, who was an alderman when two people died at the intersection in 2015, said she and other aldermen approached the Missouri Department of Transportation to see what could be done.

“They did not want at the time to put an electrical signal there. They preferred to cut the grass and keep it cut on the median so visibility was much better,” said Fribis. “Then we as a city, the aldermen decided to put no left turns from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. so that the people that were cutting though to go to the highways coming from Jefferson County would be directed up to the highways versus just cutting through … So hopefully that saves accidents from happening and some lives being lost, but it’s still a failing intersection and I think it’s our responsibility as elected officials to address this and do something about it.”

“MoDOT’s main concern is their roadways, and so they want to keep Gravois flowing the best that they can,” Public Works Director Bryson Baker said on the state agency’s reluctance to place a traffic light at the intersection.

The city could install an electrical signal itself, but it would be costly and the city could still face pushback from MoDOT. Ward 2 Alderman Steve Bersche suggested tongue-in-cheek that the city look into selling the rest of the 122 acres of the Bander property to fund a traffic signal at the Gravois/West Watson intersection.

“We thought this was going to be a good thing when Dr. Bander came to us and asked if we wanted this property. We all said yes. The city administrator at the time (Eric Sterman) was pretty clear about not having additional funds to maintain it, so we came up with the idea to lease it out to

other entities … so we don’t have to maintain it,” said Bersche. “We’ve seen how well that’s gone. … Since we’ve inherited this, it has been nothing but headaches and bad news. Do we have any provisions in there that prevent us from putting the land up for sale?”

City Attorney Robert E. Jones said that there are no restrictions on selling the property.

The October discussion on the traffic study ended with the board directing new City Administrator Brittany Gillett, Baker and the Public Works Department to meet with MoDOT to see what more can be done with the intersection.

The Bombers sent a letter to the city ahead of the Nov. 10 meeting requesting a solution so the club can move forward.

“The traffic study was destined to fail from its inception, as it was impossible to achieve a level D at the Watson/ Gravois intersection when the intersection was already at an E and F level. There was, improperly and unlawfully, never any expectation of its passing,” Lindbergh Schools and Bombers head coach Ron Laszewski wrote in the letter. “You stated it was not your intent to propose a condition that could not be met. Nonetheless, that is what occurred and we find ourselves at an impasse that demands a resolution now.”

Fribis said that the city was not aware of how poorly the intersection rated prior to imposing the condition on the Bombers.

“We had no idea what that intersection’s rating was. … I think it was expected to pass … but nobody was aware that that intersection was already ... F,” said Baker.

Baker and Fribis reported from their MoDOT meeting that the agency opposes a stoplight at the intersection because of cost and fear of disrupting traffic flow. The department also said a fix would not be time efficient for the Bombers’ concerns.

Ward 4 Alderman Mark Colombo said the city has a grant that will someday widen the road.

“Shouldn’t we be happy that people are using our park facility for outdoor recreation? … If that intersection is so dangerous, we better close down those ball fields and shut down that driving range because somebody is going to get hurt. … It’s not just for the rugby players, but no one should be able to go through that intersection, period,” said Ward 4 Alderman Mark Colombo sarcastically. “Where does this nonsense end? Let people play disc golf, let some people play rugby, let the (Andre’s) Banquet Center go and of course fix that intersection over time. … To shut everything down is just crazy.”

The board agreed 5-3 that Jones would revise the plan to get rid of the stipulation, with Colombo, Lipe, Bersche, board President Thompson Price and Ward 2 Alderman Casey Wong in favor, while Ward 3 Alderman Cathy Friedmann and Ward 1 Aldermen Ann McMunn and Joe Stewart were opposed.

“It’s our highest priority project,” City Administrator Kris Simpson said of the mall site. “We’ve been waiting for this and we’re ready for it to come through. I am cautiously optimistic about what I’m hearing. We’re gonna be all hands on deck to get this done at the highest quality in our power. ... It’s hard to speak in anything not general.”

• LHS

BSI’s $65.7 million bid will build most of $89M project (Continued from Page 6A)

The Board of Education voted 6-0 June 30 to move forward with the second phase of the $89 million three-phase construction project, which includes new construction that will connect existing facilities, extensive renovations of existing facilities and abatement across the campus.

Proof 1: LS 10/12/20 Proof 2: LS 11/10/20

Considering the importance, Simpson said that for the last few months the city Artist/Date Done our Final was “taking timeApproval/ evaluating the proDate posal.”

If UrbanStreet brings the property under contract, the new developer will meet with the city to find out how to make the project a reality, including any possible tax incentives. From there, the proposal would go through the city’s regulatory process beginning with the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Four prequalified general contractors responded, and at $65.7 million, BSI Constructors Inc. was the lowest responsible bidder that met the district’s specifications.

LHS construction is taking place in three phases. Phase 2 will include construction of a new three-story structure that will connect existing buildings on the high school campus, in addition to renovation and remodeling work in existing buildings.

• Zoning

New code gives powers on zoning to P&Z and city staff (Continued from Page 3A)

“The goal is to tackle this over the course of two meetings. Obviously this is not a code that we’d like to rush, and the alderman will take their time and do their due diligence,” said Mabie. “We will take as long as we need to wade through this code and make sure that we get it right.”

The planning panel has been reviewing the proposed zoning code from PGAV since July, culminating in November with a public hearing where no one spoke.

The “biggest procedural change” in the proposed draft is that public hearings for developments will take place at the Planning and Zoning Commission instead of the Board of Aldermen, said City Planner Cassie Harashe.

“The biggest … change in terms of what you’re used to seeing versus what you will see in the future is that we’re moving our official public hearings to the planning commission meeting. … The Board of Aldermen will remain the deciding factor on the majority of applications … but the official public hearing for those will happen at the planning commission level instead. One of the reasons is … it is a little bit more a standard procedure throughout communities … and a benefit to that is that the public gets notified about applications sooner,” Harashe said Nov. 10. “Pushing the public hearing to the planning commission meeting gives the public more time to hear about them. It allows the planning commission to be more informed about the public’s opinions of applications to help them make better recommendations to the Board of Aldermen.”

Another significant procedural change to the code is that the Planning and Zoning Commission will become the approving authority for major site plans. The reasoning behind that is that aldermen would have already approved a zoning code that directs “development in a manner” that is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan, explained Harashe.

“The code does have a clause in it that states if a project needs a modification in the Watson Road overlay, then it still has to come back before the board,” said Harashe. “But if it checks every box that has been outlined in the zoning code, we’re just kind of shaving off a meeting on our applications to kind of get them through a little bit sooner.”

The Board of Aldermen will remain the decisionmaking authority for text amendments, zoning map amendments, preliminary development plans and conditional-use permits; but public hearings for text amendments, map amendments and preliminary plans will happen only at the Planning and Zoning Commission. In the case of a CUP, public hearings will be held at both the planning commission level and the aldermanic level.

Under the proposed changes, staff will have approving authority on final develop-

ment plans and “minor site plans,” which are unique to the new code. Since final development plans do not have that much additional detail than the preliminary development plans approved by aldermen, changing staff to the authorizing authority speeds up the process, said Harashe. If a final development plan comes back that does not conform to the approved preliminary plan, or if any conditions for the final development plan were made and not adequately met, staff will not be able to approve any final development plans.

The proposed zoning code also has a new use table with more defined uses, as well as a Watson Road overlay. The new use table is more form-based than the previous use table, matching a trend in planning.

“Currently we use the NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) code which just says ‘a grocery store is a grocery store is a grocery store,’ but we all kind of know that a small grocery store is not the same and doesn’t have the same impact as a big grocery store from a traffic standpoint,” said Harashe. “Scale does have an impact on the use. … A craft basket weaver is different than a commercial basket weaver that’s gonna have a big factory. You’re probably going to want those two uses in different parts of the city, but under our current code a basket weaver is a basket weaver … so (the new use table) allows us to be more flexible and look at how the space is going to be used.”

The Watson Road overlay district, which covers all properties with frontage on the north and south sides of Watson, was created to promote a more pedestrian friendly environment along the Watson Road business corridor and “create a sense of place within the city.” The draft code also prohibits new electronic messaging signs from being erected on Watson Road and limits signs on Watson to ground-style monument signs.

The proposed code also consolidates several chapters of the current municipal code into one chapter, including floodway/ flood plain management, planning and development and urban renewal processes along with the newly approved sign code.

The 30 sections of the current code are consolidated into 12 articles in the new code. The 12 articles include zoning districts and use standards, site and landscaping design standards, access and parking, sign regulations and special uses, along with general provisions and other definitions and procedures.

Sexually oriented businesses and massage businesses are newly added to the draft zoning code under special uses, but those businesses would remain primarily regulated through Chapter 13 of the municipal code, which deals with licenses and business regulations.

Medical marijuana is divided into commercial/retail and industrial/manufacturing uses in the draft code. Group home regulations are outlined as special uses.
