Jump up and shout Music legends The Isley Brothers to be the latest inductees to the St. Louis Walk of Fame

By Charlotte Beard The sidewalks along the 6100-6600 blocks of Delmar Boulevard tell a story of rich heritage for St. Louisans. These Delmar Loop sidewalks hold brass stars and informative plaques for St. Louis inductees in art, music, architecture, literature, journalism, civil rights, education, science, political activism, sports, acting, entertainment and broadcasting.

On April 24, the St. Louis Walk of Fame will induct musical talents The Isley Brothers into the showcase. Ron and Ernie Isley will be in attendance. The induction ceremony is free to the public and will take place in front of The Pageant in the Delmar Loop located at 6161 Delmar at 11:30 a.m. The ceremony is expected to last less than a half hour and will be preceded by music from a four-piece ragtime band.

Natives of Cincinnati, Ohio, the Isley Brothers moved to St. Louis in 1998 and sources state they have lived here more than 20 years. Their musical career has brought us popular songs such as “Shout,” “It’s Your Thing,” “Twist & Shout,” “Fight the Power,” “Contagious” and more.

At the ceremony, Joe Edwards, Founder of the St. Louis Walk of Fame, will unveil the new Star and read the plaque that will accompany it before introducing Ron and Ernie Isley. Attendees can expect to hear words from the Isley Brothers before the short ceremony closes with music from the band.

Edwards created St. Louis Walk of Fame in 1988 to draw world-wide attention to great St. Louisans who have affected the culture.

“This is an educational and lifetime achievement award that we want to get out around the country,” stated Edwards.

Each year’s nominees for the St. Louis Walk of Fame must meet two criteria: 1) St. Louis birthplace or spent formative or creative years here, and 2) accomplishments

have had a national impact on our cultural heritage. Nominations can be received from anyone.

The selection process is conducted by 120 St. Louisans who make up the Walk of Fame selection committee. The committee includes the chancellors of all area universities, key people from local libraries, arts organizations and historical societies, media journalists and select citizens that possess an informed understanding of St. Louis’ cultural heritage. Former inductees are also given an opportunity to vote. The top three nominees are honored in the respective year. The

“St. Louis is just remarkable in the caliber of people that have come from here,” he said.

Before Edwards started the nonprofit organization, he thought he would start with a small museum to highlight great St. Louisans.

“The more I thought about it that would be difficult, it would be expensive to do.

Also, the hours wouldn’t make it available all

the time. Instead I decided to do it as a walk of fame to have it open 24/7 and have it accessible to everyone from every background – every financial background, every age background. What was (most) important to me was to do the research and have the informative plaques. I like the Hollywood Walk of Fame but if you don’t recognize a person you don’t know if it’s a silent film star, a great director, or a great actress. The way I did this one you can find out right then and there a little bit about the person in addition

COMMUNITY VOICES Spring cleaning should include your pantry and refrigerator

By Amy Feigenbaum Spring is right around the corner, and as you are starting to spring clean, it is important to remember to clean out your pantry and refrigerators. Take time to look through your canned and packaged food and see what is expired, or could be expiring soon.

If a product has a “use by” date, that means that perishable product should be consumed by the date listed on the package and discarded after that date. The term “best if used by” informs you that after that specified date, that product has exceeded the window of its optimal taste or performance but it should still be safe to consume.

Organizing your pantry can help save you money by keeping you aware of what items you have already. This will keep you from buying new products and wasting old ones. It will also help you avoid a pantry bug infestation. Always check and throw away cans that are leaking, rusted, bulging, or dented. If a can is opened or

leaking in any way, throw it in the trash.

Once you finalize what items you are going to keep and throw out, wipe off crumbs or surfaces that may be sticky with an all-purpose cleaner or soap and water. One method to save food costs is to follow the FIFO method, first in first out. If you have more than one of the same item (canned beans or vegetables), put the can with the nearest expiration date towards you and the others behind it in descending order of when they will expire. That way you won’t be using the newest can each time and the others won’t expire in the back and be wasted.

Next, spend time cleaning and organizing your refrigerators. With soap and water or an all-purpose cleaner, wipe all surfaces and clean thoroughly. Look at each food item, but also condiments and sauces to make sure none are expired.

While the refrigerator is open and getting cleaned out, now is the time to double check the internal temperature. Refriger-

ators should be set to maintain a temperature between 34-40 F. If the temperature is too low, it may cause the fridge to work overtime and end up freezing some foods.

If you have been noticing frozen items, turn the temperature higher, but do not exceed 40 F. These tips will help keep you and your family healthy and safe, save money, and reduce your food waste!

Assistance League of St. Louis volunteers give 1,600 children new shoes, socks this spring

Submitted photo Assistance League volunteers Chris Zang and Dawn Thomas help fit children with new shoes at Larimore Elementary School in Hazelwood on March 12 – one of the final days for the spring fitting sessions.

www.essehealth.com

Assistance League of St. Louis Steps to Success marked the 18th public school where volunteers provided new athletic shoes and three pair of socks to students, bringing to more than 1,600 the number of children who received shoes and socks this spring.

Assistance League volunteers began fitting kindergarten and fourth graders on March 5, at Drummond Elementary School in Pattonville and ended March 15 with a visit to the Ritenour School District’s Marvin Elementary School.

Fittings happen annually in the fall and spring. During the 2018-2019 season, Assistance League volunteers visited 37 schools in eight school districts – providing approximately 3,700 St. Louis area school children with new athletic shoes and socks.

Each fitting day, 20 to 30 Assistance League volunteers traveled to three elementary schools to fit school children with a pair of the latest styles and colors in athletic shoes.

“Many of the children we fit are wearing incorrect shoe sizes or shoes that allow their feet to get wet and cold,” said Assistance League of St. Louis President Roxie Randolph. “The comfort and fun of having new socks and shoes is unmistakable when you see the big smiles on the children’s faces. This program provides so much to a child’s self-esteem.”

Assistance League’s philanthropic partner, Shoe Carnival, provides invaluable help in the form of two or three employees who work alongside Assistance League volunteers each fitting day.

Northwest Views: Making the best of the time you have

By Maureen Barber Hill For people who receive an ALS diagnosis, time becomes invaluable. The life expectancy of a person with ALS averages about two to five years from the time of diagnosis, which can vary depending on how the disease progresses.

About 20 percent live to five years, 10 percent will survive 10 years and five percent will live 20 years or more. More than half of all people with ALS will have three years after diagnosis.

During the progression of the disease, people with ALS will eventually lose their ability to use muscles in their arms, legs, hands, feet and muscles involved in breathing. Not only is their time with their loved ones limited, but their time doing things like walking, writing, speaking and breathing on their own is limited too.

When faced with the reality of what’s to come, people often want to spend that time doing what they want with the people they care about, but is complicated due to their symptoms.

At our chapter it’s important to all of us to help make the best of their time. Through programs that offer relief to caregivers, supply equipment to help with day-to-day tasks and provide multidisciplinary care through our clinics we hope to make things easier for families. A major part in helping maintain that priority comes from our volunteers.

Volunteers give their time to families with ALS by helping at our events through day-of support or sitting on a committee, spending time with people with ALS or lending a hand at our office. Most of us will never fully understand how precious time becomes until it is abruptly shortened or taken away entirely. Those affected by ALS feel that impact on a daily basis, and how it changes constantly. Giving time back is the most important thing and we recognize how volunteers make a huge difference to everyone affected by ALS. We are incredibly thankful to everyone who puts their time into helping through our chapter and changing the lives of people with ALS. If you want to learn more about ALS and what we do, please visit www.alsa-stl.org.

Maureen Barber Hill has been the President and CEO of the ALS Association St. Louis Regional Chapter for nearly nine years, dedicated to improving the quality of life for those affected by ALS, educating the community and supporting research.

McCluer High School receives prestigious grant to support theatre education The McCluer High School thespian program has been awarded a $10,000 Classroom Resource Grant from the Andrew Lloyd Weber Initiative. The grant will allow for the purchase of working stage lights and sound for the school’s Little Theatre, as well as, new chairs to promote a more comfortable environment in the theatre.

The grant is part of the American Theatre Wing’s Andrew Lloyd Webber Initiative, a major new national program which received $1.3 million in seed funding from the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation to promote diversity, equity, and access to the arts.

This project is an expansion of the work that the multi-Tony Award-winning composer and producer has been doing to promote and fund arts education through his foundation in the United Kingdom. The Initiative’s focus is to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity, creating a stronger pipeline to the professional theater for promising artists of all backgrounds—fostering a future generation of theater makers and patrons that reflects the diversity and dynamism of America as a whole.

McCluer is among 13 schools nationwide to receive a grant from the American Theatre Wing.

Ambush end season with tough overtime loss The St. Louis Ambush closed out the 2018-19 season with a heartbreaking 8-7 overtime loss to the Milwaukee Wave Friday night at the Family Arena. With the loss, the Ambush finished with a 10-14 record, while the Wave improved to 19-3.

After the first quarter the Ambush felt confident with 1-1 tie against the top team in the league. Magui got the tally for the Ambush in the third minute of the quarter.

The St. Louis Team took a 4-3 lead into halftime, courtesy of goals by Hewerton, and two from Justin Stinson.

The hometown team increased their lead to two by the end of the third quarter. Lucas Almeida and Stefan St. Louis each scored before Hewerton got his second of the night.

The Ambush took a 7-5 lead into the fourth period. The final stanza would see the Ambush blow that lead with the wave scoring a few including the tying goal with six seconds left in regulation play.

With momentum in their favor, the Wave prevailed as they nailed the game-winner at 1:45 of the overtime period.

For Ambush player and Head Coach Hewerton, it was his last game as a player. He posted a two goals and an assist. Next season, he will devote his talents solely to his coaching duties. * Many great memories from the season River City Rascals manager announces his assistants “I’m excited to announce the return of Braxton Martinez and Jason Zgardowski in this new expanded role. I’m confident that both young men will thrive in these dual positions during the 2019 season and beyond in their careers. It’s been an exciting off season thus far, and I can’t wait to get back onto

the field in April,” said River City Rascals manager Steve Brook.

When asked about the opportunity, Martinez, a St. Peters native, said, “I’m really grateful for the opportunity to not only be in uniform as a player but also as a hitting coach this season.”

Zgardowski is also excited about the increased role, “I would like to thank the River City Rascals and Steve Brook for giving me the opportunity to play for a first-class organization, but also to have the privilege to be a player coach as well.”

This is not the first time Brook has given players an expanded role. During his tenure with the Rascals, players like Scott Robinson (2010), Caleb Curry (2012), Eric Williams (2014) and Josh Ludy (2016-17) have all served as player-coaches. In addition to Martinez and Zgardowski, Bench Coach Alex Ferguson will return in 2019 to round out Brook’s coaching staff.

The defending West Division champion Rascals open the 2019 season May 9 against the Washington Wild Things at CarShield Field. * The boys are back No indoor football at the Family Arena Quietly football disappeared last week as the chairman of the National Gridiron League announced he had no money to continue the effort to bring a league to the area.

After promises from the NGL, several individuals who promoted the team for many hours team were left disappointed.

Unfortunately others who heard of the new league were also let down by the countless promotions on the website and Facebook. * Sad day Gary Baute, a St. Louis native, may be educated in business but he lives and breathes sports. As a fan or an athlete, Gary is all sports all the time.

He hosted a radio sports program on KFNS, emceed the River City Rascals’ inaugural season, among many other activities.

The changing face of rom-com’s

Movie:

By Steve Bryan

Born and raised in South St. Louis, Steve Bryan is now based in Anaheim, California, and has been allowed access to movie and television sets to see actors and directors at work. Though his writing has taken him far from St. Louis, Steve is, at heart, still the same wide-eyed kid who spent countless hours watching classic movies at neighborhood theaters.

1998’s “You’ve Got Mail” is arguably one of the best romantic comedies ever made.

Bookstore rivals Joe Fox (Tom Hanks) and Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) attack each other professionally, but Kathleen’s small “Shop Around the Corner” ultimately can’t compete with Fox’s gigantic mega-stores.

They snipe at each other in person, but they unknowingly become romantically entangled through email correspondence.

Kathleen and Joe get together before the closing credits as “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” plays in the background and the camera pulls back for a wide shot of Riverside Park in New York City. That’s the standard rom-com scene that Natalie in “Isn’t It Romantic” would have hated. Played by the boisterous Rebel Wilson, the cynical Natalie finds herself stuck in a real-life romantic comedy.

“Isn’t It Romantic” puts the crosshairs on movies where the lead characters always find true love and happiness in the end. Natalie lands in the idealized version of New York City that shows up in films like “You’ve

“Five Feet Apart” is another unconventional romantic comedy/drama, but this one is mostly set in a hospital.

Yeggs

John Hanna

Crossword: Country Music Awards

‘Yeggs’ is a comic series about Robert and Bill, two rabbits who have opened their own egg franchise in the Midwest (St. Louis area). We follow their day to day lives, watching as they go about the hectic task of preparing for their one big day every year. Along the way they have adventures filled with fun, comic doings and pathos.

Moore On Life

Selfie portrait Sweet mother it’s happened once again. A selfie-inflicted wound occurred while a woman tried to take a daring photo with a sharp-toothed jaguar all to one-up her friends on Instagram.

It occurred at the zoo because that’s where you’ll find most carnivores when you need one in a hurry. We all know a picture of oneself posed next to a glubbing goldfish just isn’t going to create the same amount of likes as would posing next to a ferocious flesh-eating feline.

So off our photographer went in search of the picture perfect opportunity. That opportunity began with a giant sign reading “Do not enter as life and limb will be at risk”.

“Aha,” thought our victim. “This looks promising.”

The next barrier was just that, a gigantic barrier.

“Hmmm. This ten foot tall concrete wall surrounded by an electric fence with razor sharp barbed wire atop of it will create a small challenge, but entirely worth this snappie,” thought the lady.

So she clambered over the fence and scaled the wall then dropped down into the animal pit and crept up next to the caged hell cat.

By Cindy Moore “Darn!” she thought. “Another enclosure? I’ll have to get as close as possible then hashtag it as #badfluffykittycat and get double the likes.”

She then proceeded to rub a raw steak over her body and poke the slumbering animal with a sharp stick to get it to wake up. After shimmying up next to the bars she yelled, “Here kitty, kitty, kitty. Big smile!”

Of course kitty was in no mood for a photo session. He was not properly groomed. His hair was in a state of bedhead and he had not yet thoroughly licked between his toes. But the smell of fresh ribeye was too much.

He pounced and connected.

The next thing we know the video of the photographer writhing on the ground with multiple gashes and puncture wounds ended up going viral.

At the hospital, when she was asked to comment if her shenanigans were worth the damage her response was predictable, “What? The video went viral? Heck ya!”

Cindy Moore is the mother of three superlative kids, servant of two self-indulgent felines and wife to one nifty husband. Her ficticious occupation? Archeological Humorist: someone who unearths absurdity and hilarity in strange and unusual places including public restrooms, the lint filter, and church meetings.

Most recently, she excavated a find in her neighbor’s bird feeder.
