By Brett Auten There’s much more to social media than pet pics and status check-ins. For area police departments, it’s a two-pronged tool that provides a direct line of information to its communities.

Val Joyner is the Public Affairs Officer and Cultural Liaison with the St. Charles County Police Department. Joyner started with SCCPD in 2015 and has had a long career in public relations and communications.

“We primarily distribute information in regards to public safety,” Joyner said. “We have pushed some multi-jurisdictional campaigns and we do like to show the work we’re doing in the community.”

Facebook is the piece de resistance for all the departments. A Sept. 5 SCCPD post warning its followers about a social security scam generated over 2,000 shares and drew over 600 comments. Twitter is another social media platform that many departments incorporate.

“Many times, the information on Facebook will mirror what is on Twitter,” Joyner said. “One thing is for certain, if it is an important advisory or if we’re looking for a suspect, we will push it out on both. Facebook is our largest audience and it does skew to a more mature audience, but the message is mostly the same.”

The O’Fallon Police Department is the Chicago Bulls in the 90s when it comes to this subject. O’Fallon boasts over 33,000 followers on Facebook and nearly 7,000 on Twitter.

A lot of the heavy legwork that went into building that base was done by Robert Kendall. After some in-house reshuffling, Kendall has returned to the streets of O’Fallon and Tony Michalka is the current Public Information Officer, a position he claimed just

three weeks ago.

“I have some big shoes to fill,” Michalka said. “He set the bar high up until his last day. Other departments always wanted to know what was up Rob’s sleeve. O’Fallon is the lead in this and it will continue to be that way. There are no extra awards. There’s no extra money. We do it to give the residents what they deserve.”

County-wide, everyone has jumped on board the #9pmreminder campaign, which is a daily post, usually accompanied by a funny GIF or picture, reminding followers to lock your car doors, hide or bring in valuables and lock your front doors as a reminder to fight crimes of opportunity.

“The goal is to grab your attention,” Michalka said. “We have curated memes and

have used popular memes. We want to make you look. If it is just a line of text, you will scroll right past it.”

Melissa Doss is a Community and Media Relations Officer with the St. Peters Police Department. She has been with the department in this capacity for 11 years.

“When I first started, it was all about press releases,” Doss said. “You would send them out and then cross your fingers and hoped the news would pick it up. If it didn’t, then the information would just fall into the background. That’s how it was for a long time. Now, anything that would have been a press release, goes straight to Facebook.”

As social media became more and more a part of everyone’s everyday life, it gave offiSee ‘BEAT’ page 2

‘BEAT’ from cover cers like Doss a chance to evolve with it.

“It has allowed for many advantages,” Doss said. “We control the message. For example, if we post a 30-second video, you get to watch the entire 30 seconds and not just a few seconds that would make it onto the news. We have more people identifying criminals now on Facebook. If it something like a misdemeanor theft, it’s not a big deal to the news station but it is a big deal to us and our citizens.”

The St. Peters Police Department gets down to brass tacks when it comes to posts and messages and tries to get content out at least once a week.

“More than anything, we’ve turned it into an informative page,” Doss said.

“Sometimes we will put up a few thatta boys’, but not a ton. I think it comes down to the personal preference of each department.”

Melinda Kues is an administrative assistant with the Lake Saint Louis Police Department. Kues says that Lake St. Louis uses Facebook, Twitter, and Nextdoor. com, a free and private social network for neighborhoods.

“We tend to post everything on Facebook, Twitter is somewhat limited and for Nextdoor, we utilize it for PSA or safety issues and concerns,” Kues said. “We have more followers on Facebook than any other platforms.

The Lake St. Louis PD uses social media primarily for informational purposes.

However, it has promoted various law enforcement events such as food/school supplies/coat drives/collections.

“Also, from time to time, we recognize citizens for their kindness, generosity and support for our department and/or law enforcement,” Kues said. “It is very important to thank people for going out of their way to do something nice for us.”

Being a smaller agency, Lake St. Louis

does not have full-time resources assigned to social media so it will partner with other area police departments and post a county-wide PSA post every Thursday.

“We try to do a scam of the week every Wednesday,” Kues said. “Once a month we pick a street location or intersection and bring awareness to safety issues. We call it T.E.L.L which is Traffic Enforcement Location Listing to deter traffic violations.

Next week is Child Passenger Safety Week so we will have a post each day focused on car seats.”

What’s next on the horizon is anyone’s guess. In 10 years, information could be bouncing around on a platform we’ve not even heard of yet and Facebook and Twitter will be like MySpace.

Wherever it ends up, count on your local police departments to be right there with you along for the ride, and maybe posting a pet pic or two.

Celebrate National Voter Registration Day: register to vote, update records Sept. 24 St. Charles County residents will have an opportunity to celebrate their right to vote by registering or updating their voter records at a special event from 8 a.m. to noon, Tuesday, Sept. 24 at the county’s Administration Building at 201 North Second Street in St. Charles. The event, to be held on National Voter Registration Day, is part of a continuing effort by the County Election Authority to make voter registration easier and more accessible.

“This is just one of many places we will be set up throughout the year to connect with residents where they live and work,” says Election Authority Director Kurt Bahr. “In addition, we are partnering with St. Charles Community College and Lindenwood University to reach students and faculty, as well as attending public events at city and Coun-

ty parks and visiting libraries and shopping centers. Our intent is to meet people at places that are convenient for them; to encourage those who are not registered, to register; and reach those whose records need to be updated.”

Approximately 265,000 St. Charles County residents are registered to vote. This is always an estimate, according to Bahr, because the number changes daily as people move or pass away. About 10 percent of the population moves each year, so they may no longer be registered to vote at the correct polling place. By registering to vote, and keeping information updated through the Election Authority, voters will know the correct polling place and receive their correct ballot on election day.

First observed in 2012, National Voter

Registration Day celebrates democracy and encourages citizens to be prepared for elections by registering to vote. Held annually on the fourth Tuesday of September, the day is endorsed by the National Association of Secretaries of State, the National Association of State Election Directors, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, and the National Association of Election Officials.

All residents who are U.S. citizens, Missouri residents and at least 17½ years of age, are encouraged to attend this special voter registration event on Sept. 24 to either register to vote or update their voting information. For more information about upcoming registration events or to learn more about elections, call the St. Charles County Election Authority at 636-949-7550 or visit sccmo.org/ElectionAuthority.

St. Peters Girl Scout curates a free music therapy program for young community members Josephine Phillips, a graduate of Fort Zumwalt South High School, has recently earned the Girl Scout Gold Award demonstrating extraordinary leadership through a remarkable community service project.

Phillips’ passion, professionalism and follow-through is the mark of a true Gold Award Girl Scout. To earn this distinguished award, she addressed the lack of accessible music programs designed for children with mental and physical disabilities. Motivated by a desire to positively impact the

lives of children in her community, Phillips organized a free, monthly music therapy program called KEEN Sings!

St. Charles.

Phillips and her team of volunteers spent hundreds of hours with students leading them in new songs, dances and one-on-one activities.

Phillips ran this program successfully for 20 months before the KEEN organization and the Fort Zumwalt South High School South Side Servers Club committed to sustaining it indefinitely. Before completing her project, Phillips

created an extensive template for establishing a basic music therapy program. Her hope is other individuals and organizations will be inspired by the success of KEEN Sings! St. Charles and curates a similar program for their young community members.

The Gold Award is a shining example of what a girl can achieve as these recipients have stepped up to generate long-lasting solutions for real-world challenges at local, national and global levels. Open only to girls in high school, these young leaders are

taking matters into their own hands and making a difference the worlds of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), education and legislation. Phillips was recognized with other Gold Award Girl Scouts during a special ceremony at Lindenwood University in St. Charles this past June.

Concussions in kids

By Dr. Mark Halstead

Submitted Photo

As another year of school starts up, so does another season of fall athletics. As kids become more active in sports, the risk of concussions increases. Make sure your child plays it safe by better understanding these head injuries, recognizing the symptoms and knowing what to do if one is diagnosed.

Brain trauma A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury. A common misconception is that it involves swelling, bleeding or bruising of the brain, but it’s actually that the brain just doesn’t function normally after it experiences trauma. While sports receive much attention, a concussion can be caused by any sort of trauma to the head or near the head that causes the brain to move in the skull – such as a bike accident or fall on the playground.

A tricky diagnosis Concussions in children typically present the same as in adults, though there may be a difference in severity of the symptoms or in how kids describe them. Because it’s not an injury you can see on the outside, it can be challenging to identify a concussion. Some testing can assess balance or memory, but diagnosis often relies on a physician’s assessment of the patient’s symptoms following head trauma. These might include headaches, dizziness, sensitivity to light or noise, difficulty focusing or concentrating,

difficulty sleeping, mood issues or overall just not feeling like their normal self.

www.osteostrong.me

Taking time to heal While many concussions will get better with time, proper care is important to prevent further injury to the brain. It’s recommended to reduce both mental and physical activity following a concussion. For kids in school, that might mean reducing their workload to lessen stress and strain on the brain. Likewise, physical activity should be reduced, but brisk walking or light work on an exercise bike may be encouraged. Contrary to past recommendations, studies have shown that reducing instead of completely eliminating activity has helped speed up recovery.

Preventing concussions can be difficult, but by enforcing the rules and not playing aggressively – in addition to an increased awareness and understanding of head injuries – we can help keep kids from getting hurt.

Mark Halstead, MD, is medical director of the orthopedic clinic at Progress West Hospital. He also directs the Washington University Sports Concussion Program and is medical director of the Young Athlete Center at the St. Louis Children’s Specialty Care Center.

Wentzville School District invites public feedback on draft redistricting scenarios The Wentzville School District has invited stakeholders to provide feedback on draft redistricting scenarios for elementary, middle and high school boundaries to accommodate two new schools and continued enrollment growth.

A committee made up of parents, staff, and community members has been meeting publicly since May with Dan Schmidt from MGT Consulting Group to develop the draft scenarios. Schmidt was hired by the district last year to conduct a demographic study and facilitate the process to develop the new attendance areas.

www.stpetersmo.net/celebrate

Jennifer Willis-Nichols, a science teacher at Holt High School in the Wentzville School District, has been named the 2019 Canvas High School Teacher of the Year. The announcement was made by Instructure at its annual InstructureCon edtech conference held in Long Beach, California, July 9-11. This is the second year Instructure has selected recipients for Educator of the Year Awards, which recognizes outstanding educators working to further teaching, as well as shape the next generation of students in both K-12 and higher education fields.

Willis-Nichols who has worked for the WSD since 2016, integrates technology

into her classroom in a manner that serves a purpose: to heighten the educational experience. She understands the importance of students engaging with tools like Canvas (the district’s learning management system) in preparation for what is to come as many colleges and careers have their own learning platforms.

“As a science teacher, it’s very impactful for me to channel technology,” says Willis-Nichols. “It’s a creative outlet for me in terms of how I present content to my students. It also allows for differentiation and individualized learning that previously did not exist. Technology allows me to continue pushing my students, develop

Rascals are one win from the Frontier Championship The 2018 defending West Division champion River City Rascals baseball club plays in the Frontier League with home games at the friendly confines of the CarShield Field in O’Fallon.

As of this writing on Sept. 15, the club is tied with the Florence Freedom for honor of being the top team in the league. This is the World Series of the Frontier League.

The series winner is determined in a best-offive series. Last Tuesday, the Rascals played in the Freedoms’ backyard where they immediately showed their dominance by taking game one 5-2 with pitcher Brendan Feldmann leading the way.

They game up a little short in game two dropping it 6-4 but had a good offensive attack lead by Nick Anderson who homered and drove in two runs.

Game three moved to CarShield field in O’Fallon last Friday where the home team pulled off a thriller to squeeze by the Freedom 4-3. Trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth, Tanner Murphy and Nick Anderson of the Rascals hit back-toback homers to stun the Freedom and thus taking a 2-1 series advantage in walk-off fashion.

Game four in O’Fallon saw the Freedom win 3-2 setting up a decisive game five in Florence, Kentucky set for Monday, Sept. 16.

Go to www.RiverCityRascals.com to get the final result for the 2019 campaign and the final game for the Rascal’s organization in O’Fallon. *Strut your stuff in the final game New baseball team coming to CarShield Field in O’Fallon I have received a lot of good vibes that the possibility of a new baseball team replacing the River City Rascals may be announced shortly.

This coming from several different areas so we will have to wait to see what the final results will produce for O’Fallon. *Play the waiting game

Classic sitcoms that made it to the big screen

T

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.

he TV medical comedy-drama “M*A*S*H” was based on Richard Hooker’s novel “MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors.” It became a major motion picture before starting a long run on CBS. It’s easy to find reruns of the series on cable and broadcast stations available via antenna. The 1983 spin-off series “AfterMASH” didn’t fare as well, however.

What happens, though, when popular sitcoms become feature films?

The results are hit-or-miss. Look, for instance, at “The Brady Bunch Movie,” which sprang from the series about a man named Brady who married a lovely lady and created a blended family. The first film was popular enough to spawn “A Very Brady Sequel,” which saw the arrival a man claiming to be Carol Brady’s long-lost first husband.

The Brady clan was welcome in theaters, but the same can’t be said for “Bewitched.” The television series focused on Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery), a witch who marries the very mortal Darrin Stephens (played by Dick York and then Dick Sargent). The humor came from the clash of the magical and human worlds and how the loving couple coped with it. Agnes Moorehead played Samantha’s

mountain man whose property is full of oil. Relatives of the suddenly wealthy Jed encourage him to take his daughter Elly Mae (Donna Douglas) to California so she can find a husband. Jed’s mother-inlaw Granny (Irene Ryan) and the sixth-grade graduate Jethro Bodine (Max Baer, Jr.) come along on the journey.

The pilot episode is full of sly, risqué humor that pushed the boundaries of family comedy. Two decades after the show left the air, Photo courtesy Warner Bros.

Yeggs

John Hanna

Crossword: Author’s Last Names

‘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 the ultimate organizer to the degree where it’s become obsessive.

We’ve been planning a family trip since the first of the summer; his bags have been packed since the winter before. Basically, he’s had his things packed in anticipation of a family vacation that hadn’t even been organized yet, but just in case there was a vacation in the works he wanted to be prepared and not caught off guard. I may be exaggerating a tad on this, but only a slight tad.

A day before our flight, we gathered our bags together and stashed them in a corner of our room.

Time to relax, you say; not so, I say.

He must do a full rundown of certain pre-boarding items: Double check the packing lists to ensure nothing has been left behind; weigh the bags to make sure they are within compliance and turn off all sources of water to make sure nothing leaks and causes catastrophic flooding.

“Why are you disconnecting the wash machine?” I ask.

“Because if for some reason the hoses become unconnected you will be snorkeling in an indoor swimming pool,” he says.

“That’s ridiculous.”

“Tell that to the Pilkinsons.”

“Completely different. Their dog chewed off a sprinkler head and it filled their basement window. No damage, just a wet window well.”

“It could’ve been worse. What if a dog chews off our wash machine hose?”

“We don’t have a dog.”

“Pilkinsons do and it’s been known to wander.

I’m taking no chances.”

I gave up.

Airport day: He has pre-boarded us ten hours before takeoff. He has checked the flight multiple times to ensure the plane has not lost its fuselage. He has checked and re-checked the weather app to ensure no rogue tornadoes head us off at the pass.

MAN WITH A PLAN Photo courtesy Bigstock

He wiggles every door handle then makes sure the motion sensor lights are working by jumping in front of them and yelling, “Boo!” We are set.

“Almost time to head out. Leaving in one hour,” he says.

“It’s seven hours before our flight takes off,” I moan.

“What if we get a flat tire or blow a piston? Plus there’s a high pressure surge heading our way tomorrow.”

“What does that have to do with today?”

“Do you know how many times the weatherman has been off? For all we know there’s a cyclone brewing in our backyard.”

“Oh for heck’s sake. It’s also a full moon. Did you factor that into your planning?”

His face drains to white.

“Grab your bags we’re leaving now!”
