“For decades, the city hosted the Hazelwood Harvestfest in September,” said Pam Reynolds, assistant director of Hazelwood Parks and Recreation. “While we maintain some of the most popular activities from the Harvestfest, Hazelwood Day is a much dif-

Low and no cost ways to reduce your utility bills

As someone who is budget conscious, I’m always looking for low or no cost ways to reduce my utility bills. I don’t know about you, but I’m not in a rush to replace all my older appliances that are still in good working order. Fortunately, I’ve been able to incorporate energy efficiency strategies that didn’t cost me anything other than time and effort or less than what I would spend for brunch with mimosas.

Here are some no cost ways to reduce your utility bills:

1. Adjust thermostat settings: Lower your thermostat during winter and raise it in the summer to reduce heating and cooling costs.

2. Embrace natural light: During the day, open curtains and blinds to let in natural light and reduce the need for artificial lighting. Remember to close them at night to insulate against temperature changes.

3. Block the sun: When it’s hot outdoors, you’ll want to close your blinds and curtains to block the sunlight.

4. Unplug electronics: Many electronics consume power even when turned off. Unplug devices or use power strips to completely disconnect them when not in use to eliminate standby power usage.

5. Take shorter showers: Reduce water consumption by taking shorter showers. Consider installing a low-flow showerhead to further reduce water usage.

6. Air dry clothes: Whenever possible, air-dry your clothes instead of using a dryer. Not only does it save electricity, but it also extends the life of your clothing.

7. Cook efficiently: Use lids on pots and pans while cooking to retain heat and

cook food faster. Match the pot size to the burner to avoid wasting energy.

8. Turn off lights and fans: Make it a habit to turn off lights and ceiling fans when leaving a room.

9. Run full loads: When using the dishwasher or washing machine, run full loads to maximize their efficiency and reduce water and energy usage.

10. Use natural ventilation: On cooler days, open windows and use cross ventilation to allow fresh air to circulate through your home, reducing the need for air conditioning. Here are some low-cost ways to reduce your energy bills:

1. Buy a programmable thermostat: Use a programmable thermostat to set temperature schedules that match your daily routines. Many electricity service providers offer rebates for smart and programmable thermostats.

2. Seal air leaks: Check for gaps around doors, windows, and electrical outlets. Use weather stripping and caulk to seal any leaks, preventing air from escaping and reducing the need for heating and cooling.

3. Don’t make your A/C work harder: In the summer, avoid heating up your house as much as possible. Use your oven and do laundry during the coolest times of the day. Consider investing in blackout curtains and blinds to block the summer sunlight.

4. Plant shade trees: Planting shade trees around your home can help reduce cooling costs by blocking direct sunlight during hot summer days.

5. Insulate water heater: Wrap your water heater with an insulating blanket to

minimize heat loss and reduce water heating costs.

6. Fix leaky faucets: A dripping faucet can waste a significant amount of water over time. Repair leaks promptly to save water and lower your water bill.

7. Switch to LED bulbs: Replace traditional incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient LED bulbs. They last longer and use significantly less electricity.

8. Maintain your furnace and cooling units: Change filters consistently and get regular maintenance for your furnace and HVAC units.

For more resources related to weatherization and energy conservation, visit the Missouri Public Service Commission’s website at https://psc.mo.gov/ . You can also contact your local utility service providers online or by phone.

Another successful swim year for the Florissant Fish Swim Team

The 2023 summer season marked the 21st season for the Florissant Fish Swim Team. Over the duration of the season the team was 6-0 in dual meets and finished first at the Conference Championships for the 13th straight season.

This year’s team consisted of 164 kids, ranging from four-to-18 years old and featured a group of nine coaches who have either been with the program for all 21 years or graduated as a swimmer of the team before joining the coaching staff.

The swimmers broke two relays and three individual team records and 13-14-year-old Mia Moore broke a 35-year-old conference record in the 50-yard butterfly.

Welcome, September Still In This Together:

And here it is…finally.

The month I both long for during the incessant heat waves of July, and hate to come because that means it will soon be over and I’ll have to wait a whole year to grasp it in my hands and heart again.

September is my birthday month, as well as the birthday month of both our daughters. Katie was actually born the day before my 30th birthday, and I had always thought it would be wonderful to have our children by the time I was 30; old enough to enjoy them and still young enough to enjoy life after they were grown. It made such a wonderful story until five years later when Becca blessed our lives…at 35.

And yes, we all three celebrate our birthday month, as in, for an entire month, as it should be, just enjoying one birthday after another, leaving sticky notes everywhere as reminders of what month it is, and then closing out the month with one more celebration. It’s a great way to enjoy the best month of the entire year. Might as well throw in a couple of anticipatory weeks while we’re at it, when you can almost feel the excitement building.

I noticed the vibration in the air a few weeks ago as I walked to the mailbox. The noise was loud and insistent, and unmistakably the sound of locusts in broad daylight, the time I always told the kids was the sure harbinger of a new school year right around the corner. The sound of September.

And the colors are beginning…hillsides that begin to lose lush blankets of green and adopt a quieter feel of fewer leaves, thinner foliage, shorter days and quieter night falls. It isn’t a sudden transformation, but sometimes it seems that way if I haven’t been attuned to the subtleties of September.

By Vicki Bahr

bright reds and yellows of watermelon and summer corn and ads filled with ice cream and barbecue and picnic gatherings, to the deeper colored offerings of Indian corn, pumpkins and gourds and ads populated with heartier, homespun, lazy afternoon steamup-the-window roasts and homemade breads, baked goods and county fairs.

September changes the page from baseball and swimming pools to football and homework…and home. Another season we haven’t experienced in our new home, filled with shorter days and earlier night falls, sweatshirts and overhead lights in the evenings, indoor gatherings and time for reading, lonely train whistles reverberating through the night and open windows to let in the night air as we sleep.

Before the chaos and wonderment of holidays, there is September. Welcome, wonderful birthday month. Welcome!

Vicki Bahr is an inveterate word lover and story sharer, a published author in magazine, newspaper and blog forms. As a mom of four, grandma of nine, and wife of one for 50 years, she finds that inspiration and wonder are everywhere.

Pete the Cat and other storybook characters, all costumed volunteers from Assistance League of St. Louis, paraded through America’s Center on Aug. 5 to kick off the “Books from Friends” program for the 2023-24 school year.

Following the parade, volunteers hosted a booth at the Urban League Back-to-School Expo. Aspiring young readers who visited the booth received age-appropriate books to take home, with more than 6,200 books being distributed during the expo.

Visitors to the booth also had a chance to meet local guest author Micheal Anderson, whose Zoey Lyndon series is a favorite with middle grade students. Anderson autographed 300 copies of Zoey books and personalized them for the children. All of the books teach life lessons, and the author says she wrote the books so that children who look like her will see characters they can relate to in the books they read.

“We hope the parade and books will help these young people know how much fun reading can be” said Assistance League of St. Louis president Denise McKibben. “Last year, as our volunteers visited and read with children at Head Start programs and other early childhood settings, we distributed more than 18,000 books through ‘Books from Friends’ to encourage a love of reading.”

So, I become more purposeful, sitting outside in the evenings, watching and breathing in the fact that I can see peeks of the trains passing by now that the trees aren’t as full, and hear sounds that are more vibrant in the earlier night falls. The less humid evenings hold the promise of easier walks and more adventures. Colors are more vibrant, sounds more noticeable, breathing just a little easier.

John and I started taking early September vacations years ago, once the kids were grown and time was less restrictive. Beach rentals are less expensive, pools and beaches are less crowded, and the memories we make while driving seem richer somehow. The cotton is popping, the cornstalks are dry and rustling as we pass, perfect reminders that the year is coming to a close. The night sky is a deeper indigo, the air has a lighter, less oppressive feel as we drive with the windows down on highways that are less crowded than they were a month before.

And when we return, the grocery stores will have changed from the

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.

starred as Dr. Henry Walton “Indiana” Jones, Jr., a college professor of archaeology. The story, which was set in 1936, showed Jones travelling the world in search of the Ark of the Covenant, a relic that reportedly could make an army invincible.

Dr. Jones wanted to contact Abner Ravenwood, his former mentor, but Abner’s daughter Marion told him that her father had passed away. Indy and Marion then traveled to various countries and learned for themselves the power contained within the Ark of the Covenant. 1984’s “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” explored one of Indy’s earlier adventures while 1989’s “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” gave audiences a satisfying end to the original trilogy.

As was the case with “Indiana Jones, other popular movie franchises explored their characters in films. 1978’s “Superman,” for instance, looked at the superhero’s early life on the planet Krypton. Marlon Brando was cast as Jor-El, a scientist who sent his son

Kal-El into space before Krypton exploded. After landing on Earth, Kal was adopted by human parents who named him Clark. On Earth, he gained superhuman abilities and learned more about his Kryptonian origins.

“Superman II” showed Clark giving up his powers for love just as General Zod and his colleagues Ursa and Non landed on Earth.

“Superman III” introduced Richard Pryor as computer programmer Gus Gorman. Released in 1987, “Superman IV” focused on removing the threat of nuclear annihilation.

In the late 1960’s, Gene Roddenberry created a television series that became a phenomenon. A decade before “Star Wars” arrived in theaters, William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy were cast in “Star Trek,” an outer space series. Although the original series ran for just three years, its fan base has been incredibly strong and devoted. In

1973, a cartoon version of the series ran on Saturday mornings and, in 1979, fans lined up to see “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” A few years later, “Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan” cast Ricardo Montalbán as Khan Noonien Singh, a genetically enhanced tyrant. 1984’s “Star Trek III: The Search for Spock” and 1986’s “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home” examined more of the “Trek” universe.

When it comes to magic, though, the “Harry Potter” universe can’t be beat. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson were cast as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granager, three students at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. While Harry was only an infant, an evil sorcerer named Lord Voldemort attempted to kill him, but that curse backfired. Throughout his years at Hogwarts, Harry and his friends learned more spells and discovered the consequences of dark magic. Author J.K. Rowling wrote seven “Harry Potter” novels that became the basis of eight movies. “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” a play written by Jack Throne, was based on an original story by Rowling.

Moore on Life

My husband and I come from different planets and because of that, we each have our own language. It took some getting used to the wordage, but eventually we were able to understand one another and even communicate somewhat.

Me: “Oh nuts, the computer isn’t working again.”

Double talk

Him: “What do you mean? I was just on it and it worked fine.”

“Nope. That little swirly thing is on and it’s just a swirling and a swirling. I’m sure it’s out of gigaboops.”

“What do you mean by gigaboops?” he asked.

“Oh, come on. You’re a computer guy, aren’t you? You know, the stuff that makes computers run. I think we’re out. Can you add some? Fill ‘er up and while you’re at it add some energy boosters. it’s running kinda slow.”

“That’s crazy talk. One, you don’t fill up a computer like you fill up a car. Two, I just need to add faster RAM.”

“Now who’s talking crazy. What good is a ram going to do a computer. Besides, I think it’s a vegetarian.”

“Not funny,” he said as he rummaged through the cupboards. “Hey, where’d you put that whatchamacallit?”

“Huh? Are you sure you don’t mean the dealywhacker or the doojigger?”

“No, I know where those are at. I mean the whatchamacallit.”

“Well, you’re going to have to provide a little more information.”

“You know, that thing you use for stirring pancake batter,” he said as he made a stirring motion

“Oh, that’s what you usually refer to as the thingamabobber, remember?

It’s called a whisk. Say it slowly with me, w-h-isss-k.”

“W-h-a-tcha-ma-caa-ll-it.”

“Not funny. It’s in the top drawer next to the doohickies.”

He found it immediately then opened the fridge and let out a cry of despair. “We’re out of milk?! I need milk for my pancakes. Now what?”

“Guess you better make a quick trip to the store,” I said.

“Great. Where’d you put the keys?”

“Where they usually are. In the junk drawer next to the other gizmos.”

He headed towards the door then turned and said, “Do we need anything else?”

“Yes, bring back some gigaboops. Get two packages.”
