The long-awaited rededication of the Dr. H. Phillip Venable Memorial Park in Creve Coeur will take place Sept. 18 By Wendy Todd Over 50 years ago, a small group of black professionals, including Dr. H. Phillip Venable, bought land in Creve Coeur, intending to build homes and establish their lives in the area. But once some white residents found out the new buyers in the neighborhood were black, the group was not welcomed. The disgruntled neighbors, fueled by racism and backed by then mayor John. T. Beirne, raised money and offered payment to the black newcomers to move out of Creve Coeur. All but one sold out. Dr. H. Phillip Venable, a trailblazing ophthalmologist, stood his ground and refused
to accept the offer. The Canadian native who was raised in Detroit and his wife, Katie, were almost done building this lavish home that included a pool, tennis court and ninehole golf course and wanted to stay. “He paid cash for his lot and fought in the courts for four or five years,” says his niece, Rosalind Venable Woodhouse. “It got to the Supreme Court (in 1960) and he lost. He was offered some piddly amount and they took the property under eminent domain. He then went to Ballwin and purchased a home.” The city of Creve Coeur seized the property and turned it into a park. The city used the impressive home Venalbe had been building
as a clubhouse. The rededication of the memorial park to Venable, the first black doctor to join Washington University School of Medicine and St. Louis University School of Medicine as a faculty member is of huge importance to his family and has meaningful significance for the community. “It means that at long last the city is acknowledging the wrong that it did at that time,” states Woodhouse, who along with siblings continues to advocate for justice on behalf of her uncle. “Other jurisdictions could be taking a look at what they have done and come up with ideas for recompense,” she continues.

‘HISTORY’ from cover In addition to vindicating the family, the rededication and memorial will serve as a piece of history for the black community and beyond. “I think it’s significant to the black community because so much of what has happened over the years has never been brought to light. And this is shining a light on some of the history and helping the community understand there are ways of ameliorating some of the past issues,” Woodhouse explains. The rededication
of the park is not only a momentous offering of atonement from the city of Creve Coeur, but also symbolizes Venable’s vast impact. In 2019 the mayor at the time Barry Glantz, held a Coffee With the Mayor event to discuss the issue of Venable’s forced loss. The mayor’s office had to get a bigger location to accommodate all the people who came out to speak about Venable and their connection to him. “There were so many people that it was standing room only. People testified about their experiences with him,” Woodhouse recalls. After that gathering a decision was made to pass a resolution apologizing for the deep transgression and honor the man who fought for his rights and ultimately the rights of others. Strength and conviction were just a few of Venable’s attributes. When asked to describe him, one phrase came to mind for Woodhouse. “He was a renaissance man,” she states. In addition to being a prominent doctor and overcoming racial barriers to achieve exceptional success, he was also a talented musician. Venable played

the trumpet and became so well known for his skills that Ethel Waters approached him to accompany her on tour. This request came right as he was considering medical school. He wound up enrolling in Wayne State University, which began his incredible journey to make his indelible mark in history. The city of Creve Coeur is happy to honor Venable and recognizes the importance of rededicating the park and creating a memorial. “We want to ensure the people who enjoy the park also remember the history behind it. As we take this step toward correcting this past injustice, I invite the community to come together and celebrate the incredible legacy of Dr. Venable,” states Creve Coeur Mayor Robert Hoffman. Hoffman and former mayor Glantz will commemorate the rededication of the park in recognition of Venable. The rededication will take place on Saturday, Sept. 18 at 1 p.m. at 10630 Country View Dr. in Creve Coeur.

Christian Hospital receives American Heart Association’s EMS Gold Plus Award for quality heart attack treatment Christian Hospital has received the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline EMS Gold Plus Achievement Award for implementing specific quality improvement measures to treat patients who suffer severe heart attacks. Each year, more than 250,000 people experience an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the deadliest type of heart attack, caused by a blockage of blood flow to the heart that requires timely treatment. To prevent death, it is critical to restore blood flow as quickly as possible, either by mechanically opening the blocked vessel or by providing clot-busting medication. The American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline program helps reduce barriers to prompt treatment for heart attacks – starting from when 911 is called, to EMS transport and continuing through hospital treatment and discharge. Optimal care for heart attack patients takes coordination between the individual hospital, EMS and healthcare system. “EMTs and paramedics play a vital part in the
system of care for those who have heart attacks,” said Tim Henry, M.D., chair of the Mission: Lifeline Acute Coronary Syndrome Subcommittee. “Since they often are the first medical point of contact, they can save precious minutes of treatment time by activating the emergency response system that alerts hospitals to an incoming heart attack patient.” Program participants apply for the award recognition by demonstrating how their organization has committed to improving quality care for STEMI patients. “Christian Hospital is honored to be recognized by the American Heart Association for our dedication to providing optimal care for heart attack patients,” said Brian Hokamp, Christian Hospital EMS chief. “The Mission: Lifeline program puts proven knowledge and guidelines to work on a daily basis so patients have the best possible chance of survival.”
Made by Lia hosts a ribbon cutting and one year anniversary ceremony
Photo courtesy city of Florissant
Lia Weber, owner of Made by Lia, in Old Town Florissant, celebrated her birthday this past Friday by holding a ribbon cutting to commemorate the one-year anniversary of opening her business at 610 rue Saint Francois. As many are aware, Weber gained notoriety when she won TLC’s Next Great Baker competition in 2014. Since then, she has honed her craft even more and by opening her own bakery in Old Town, has brought yet another bright spot to the flourishing Florissant community. Of course, her success is just the latest in an upward trend in Florissant. Her sister, Christina Bennett, recently celebrated 25 years of her fam-
ily operating Hendels on rue Saint Denis, just a few blocks around the corner. Florissant Ward 6 Councilman Patrick Mulcahy, speaking on behalf of Mayor Tim Lowery, said it best at the ribbon cutting, “While it hasn’t been an easy year, it has certainly been made better because of Lia’s business being here in Old Town.” If you would like to pick up some of Weber’s great baked goods for yourself, just stop by her shop in Florissant located at 610 rue St. Francois anytime from Tuesday thru Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. or visit the Made by Lia website at: www.madebylia.com.

Still In This Together:
By Vicki Bahr
It’s never too soon Take a trip back in time with me, if you don’t mind. Not terribly far back, just a month, to the last weekend in July. Let me refresh your memory. The weather had been hot and muggy, typical St. Louis summer weather that I hate so much. Everything took longer to accomplish, we timed grass cutting and flower watering and trash taking out for the evening and I pulled all the window shades as much to avoid
seeing the glaring sun as to try to keep the house a half degree cooler. And then there was the break the weather people had been teasing us with, but told us wasn’t at all a sure thing. The air was cooler, there was a breeze and the humidity was miraculously non-existent. It was cloudy as we got into the car to drive to the big box store for gas. Our daughter with the three young boys had provided us with a list of things we could pick up for her while we were there, and it was absolutely delightful to have a reason to be out. My smile could not have spread any wider than when I saw the first sale item inside the entrance turned out to be an autumn wreath. John walked in behind me and just shook his head and muttered, “For Pete’s sake, it’s only July.” But it was too late. My autumn sensors www.SeniorsHelpingSeniors.com/StLouisCentral were already piqued, and I felt the need to point out every autumn or Halloween product in the place. I think I was actually skipping through the store, looking at Halloween costumes and pointing out the jackolantern and bat-shaped pretzel snacks and the little pumpkin decorated bags of cheese balls. The coffee Becca had requested had been replaced by pumpkin spice flavor. I was in heaven!! You see, in my world, it’s never too soon to enthusiastically welcome autumn. A few leaves have already fallen, the locusts are chirping in the daytime (a sign that I always told the kids meant the beginning of school was near), and I’ve warned John it will be time to start sorting through
Halloween bins soon. The look of disbelief on his face was priceless. To make things even better, by the time we got home from the store, it was cloudy and the air was damp and cool. I immediately put the purchases away, gathered broth and chicken and onion and carrots and started chopping in honor of the first chicken noodle soup created in months. It was delicious!! The next call was to daughter Becca to tell her the pumpkin collection was coming out and she could laugh all she wanted to at the timing. When she was studying design in college she asked me point blank if I was aware that our house looked festive in autumn but ridiculous the rest of the year because of my pumpkin collection. “What pumpkin collection?” I asked innocently as she walked me from room to room pointing out what was oblivious to me. And she was right, but I kept many of them visible anyway. To my way of thinking, there is no more wonderful time of year. Cool nights that get dark earlier, crockpot cooking and steamed-up windows, memories of homework at the kitchen table and Halloween costume discussions, the beginning of everything cozy and holiday and family. It’s never too soon… Vicki Bahr is an inveterate word lover and story sharer, a published author in magazine, newspaper and blog forms.

‘‘The Rocketeer’ will get a new life on Disney+
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.
Seth MacFarlane’s “Family Guy” uses rapid-fire sight gags and pop culture references in its storylines. MacFarlane once took aim at “The Rocketeer,” a 1991 adventure movie based on a wonderful comic book series from artist Dave Stevens. The story focused on Cliff Secord (Billy Campbell), a 1930’s era stunt pilot who found a working jetpack inside his plane. Cliff ’s actress girlfriend Jenny (Jennifer Connelly) was modeled after the legendary pin-up girl Bettie Page. The “Family Guy” clip suggested that only people of low intelligence would rent the video version of “The Rocketeer.” In truth, Stevens, a gifted artist, possessed an incredible eye for detail and infused his stories with nostalgia and great characters. Director Joe Johnston, who directed 2011’s “Captain America: The First Avenger,” embraced Stevens’ work and brought it to life on the big screen. Billy Campbell does a nice job playing Cliff Secord, a brash pilot who has a few mishaps when using the jetpack. In the film, Howard Hughes (Terry O’Quinn) was the actual creator of the device and really wants it back. These days, “The Rocketeer” has a loyal fanbase thanks to that awesome jetpack. The story stirs up so much nostalgia for a simpler time that Stevens’ characters were given a new life over at the House of Mouse. A few years ago, Disney Junior unveiled “The Rocketeer,” an animated adventure series with seven-year-old Kit Secord receiving a jetpack. She takes up the mantle of the legendary hero while Grand-

pa Ambrose, a skilled mechanic, and her best friend, Tesh, help her fulfill her destiny. Disney+ also has plans for a live-action reboot of “The Rocketeer,” with David and Jessica Oyelowo set to produce it. Rumor has it that Mr. Oyelowo also is under consideration for the title role, a retired Tuskegee Airman who becomes the Rocketeer. The press releases are fairly vague right now but there are so many possibilities here. “Star Wars” creator George Lucas was very hands-on with “Red Tails,” his 2011 take on the Tuskegee Airman and showed how great and honorable these men were. The series most likely will take place in the
post-World War II era prior to the Korean War. David Oyelowo, who played Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in “Selma,” seems like the perfect fit for the lead character. After retiring from flying, the character will be given the jet pack and have to learn how to use it properly. Depending on the period setting, this flying hero may even be doing counterintelligence for the United States government. Seth MacFarlane obviously has no real love for the work of Dave Stevens and his enduring four-color creation. In the hands of Disney+ and the Oyelowo’s, however, this incarnation of the Rocketeer has limitless potential.

Yeggs
John Hanna
Crossword: SOCIAL MEDIA
‘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.
By Cindy Moore
Moore on Life My husband is not a shopper. I repeat: Not. A. Shopper! He doesn’t like crowds – he calls them super spreaders. He doesn’t like aisles of unnecessary merchandise beckoning him to take a look – I call that crazy. He doesn’t like to get dressed up to go out – he calls that, putting on pants. And he doesn’t like to find parking or deal with unhelpful clerks. Example: I recently dragged him with me to my favorite department store. He only came along because he actually needed an item. But after ten minutes of following me around and questioning my every purchase, I had had enough. “Quit bothering me,” I said. “Go off on your own and look for man stuff.” He wandered down the aisle aimlessly then ran into a store clerk. “Can you help me find lug nuts?” he asked. She said, “Oh, I’m so sorry sir, this is a department store. We don’t carry food items. Try the supermarket. But perhaps I could interest you in some lovely lingerie for that special someone in your life.” She held up a lacy bra and panties for him to examine. He gasped and turned twelve shades of purple then stormed back to me. “What kind of weirdoes work at this place. That lady thinks lug nuts are some kind of cashew and then she flashed her undershorts at me!” “Calm down, Sweetie. Why on earth did I bring
you? Now quit following me or I’ll call security.” We parted ways, but I soon heard an announcement over the intercom. “Will the lady that owns a balding man who is extremely distressed and irritable please come to the service desk and claim your property.” I wheeled my cart towards the service desk only to find a long line. “What’s with the line today?” I asked the woman in front of me. “Beats me, I’m just here to claim my husband they called for over the intercom.” The five ladies ahead of us turned and said, “Me too!” We each retrieved our balding, irritable husbands and headed out the door. Note to self: Next time, leave husband at home in his PJ bottoms to order lug nuts online.
