The Tri-County Advisory to Probation and Parole works to ensure that offenders reentering society have the right kind of advice, support and assistance

By Brett Auten It’s a hard knock life out there; especially when you have, legally-speaking, stubbed your toe a few times too many.

Since 1994, the Tri-County Advisory to Probation and Parole has done its best to ensure that offenders reentering society have the right kind of advice, support and assistance in order to make their reemergence a positive and enduring one.

It is an all-volunteer army as the board members (made up of citizens and business leaders) receive zero monetary compensation

for their services. Various members and the District 17 Missouri State Probation and Parole Office-St. Charles Co. donate office expenses at no cost to the organization.

The individuals, who come from St. Charles, Warren and Lincoln counties, served by the board are on probation and/or parole and are often found in homeless shelters.

“Society does not provide the same resources to this group of individuals,” longtime board member Karleen Rogers said. “The social impact of this is that they may return to criminal activities because they believe it is the only way for them to provide the basic

daily needs. A lot are on medication, either or both, for physical or emotional reasons. We can’t let this happen for danger of reoffending.”

Clients for the board are found through probation and parole case managers. The board runs a tight ship with $600 allocated per individual for the entire year. Unlike the single mother looking to get a leg up on tough time, or a military veteran needing a better job, they are not the first to get a helping hand.

‘CHANCES’ from cover ceived in public,” Rogers said. “The majority were incarcerated due to drugs. There are not many who have violent or sexual criminal backgrounds. And some are reentering the world out of prison as senior citizens.

That is a big challenge to face.”

Through loans and grants the board provides assistance with chemical dependency evaluations and treatment, housing, utility assistance, medical assistance, psychological evaluations and transportation costs to treatment.

“We don’t have public transportation and a lot of our clients don’t have their license or access to a vehicle,” Karleen Rogers said.

“The services we provide are pretty broad.

We can help with anything. We helped a client with some dental work just recently.”

The board raises funds through government grants, private donations and fundraising events. But with the COVID19 outbreak, the once thriving fundraising events have ground to a halt.

One of the main goals of board members is to educate judges, the legal community and legislatures about programs and treatment projects. The board continually works

Christmas Candlelight Walks and Hays House Holiday Tours canceled due to COVID To ensure the safety of all during the COVID-19 pandemic, the St. Charles County Parks and Recreation Department has announced the cancellation of the 2020 Christmas Candlelight Walks at The Historic Daniel Boone Home and holiday tours at The Daniel Boone Hays Home in Defiance. The events were scheduled for Dec. 4–5 and 11–12, respectfully.

“We are saddened to have to cancel these events,” says Parks Director Ryan Graham.

“The Christmas Candlelight Walk has been extremely popular with the public for more

than 30 years, with the past four being soldout under the Parks Department’s supervision, and we were excited to have our first holiday event at the newly restored Hays Home. But our top priority is keeping our guests, staff, volunteers and the community safe, and with the increase in COVID-19 cases in St. Charles County and throughout the region, we feel this is the best action to take.”

Graham says the Parks Department looks forward to offering this annual holiday program to the public again in 2021.

Guests who purchased tickets to the popular Christmas Candlelight Walks will receive a full refund. Parks staff began contacting individuals this week regarding the refunds.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, please stay informed about changes and updates in St. Charles County Parks by visiting stccparks.org, facebook.com/StCharlesCounty Parks, or by contacting the Department at 636-949-7535.

All County Parks remain open at this time.

St. Charles County Executive urges residents to change behaviors immediately to stop COVID spread With the number of positive COVID-19 cases rising drastically in the county, St. Charles County Executive Steve Ehlmann is sending a stern message to residents: Change your behaviors immediately to stop the spread.

“Our county is facing a severe rise in positive cases and hospitalizations, as well as an increase in deaths,” says Ehlmann. “I am calling on each county resident to do what is necessary to help us get this virus under control.”

Ehlmann did not order the closing of any restaurants or bars at the onset of COVID-19 in the spring, and instead entrusted residents to limit their activities to work and those they found essential. The county was successful in keeping its numbers down, but as people relaxed their healthy practices in the summer and early fall, infections are soaring.

“One of the biggest issues we have is that people are not limiting their contacts,” Ehlmann says. “We all must be doing that immediately so we can keep our kids in school and our businesses open.

Our hospitals tell me they are on the verge of being at capacity, and if that happens, there won’t be beds available for anyone, no matter what health care issue they are facing.”

Ehlmann says the spread of COVID-19 is such that the actions we take today will prevent new outbreaks 14 days from now.

“I am not asking people to stop living their lives,” he says, “but I am asking them to limit their activities to the critical things such as work and school. By doing so, we can better ensure that the community can enjoy a happy and healthy holiday season.”

Ehlmann is advising everyone to do the following: • Limit daily activities to work, school and necessary errands.

• Avoid bars and restaurants where you can’t social distance.

• Use carry-out rather than dining in.

• Wear a mask in public or when around people outside of your household.

• Keep weekly contacts to less than 10 people.

• Avoid groups that exceed 10 people.

• Frequently sanitize commonly touched surfaces.

• Wash your hands often.

“It shouldn’t be any surprise to anyone that these are things we need to do,” Ehlmann says. “We just need to do them. All of them.

All of us.”

For more information on COVID-19, visit sccmo.org/COVID, or call the Department of Public Health hotline at 636-949-1899.

St. Charles County Public Health Drivers should use caution on Ecology Drive issues recommendations for reducing during concrete slab repairs and lane closures illness at holiday gatherings This road maintenance projPortions of Ecology Drive new concrete slabs are cured Because incidences of COVID-19 and other illnesses continue to grow, many are seeking safer ways to celebrate family traditions during fall and winter holidays. To aid in this planning, the St. Charles County Department of Public Health joins the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and others in issuing recommendations focused on staying healthy this holiday season.

“Gathering together and celebrating with family are at the heart of most holiday traditions,” Department of Public Health Director Demetrius Cianci-Chapman says. “However, as contact tracing links a growing number of COVID-19 cases to family get-togethers and community gatherings, we must take steps to protect those at the highest risk for serious complications when we celebrate. We urge members of our community to take personal responsibility to help reduce the spread of illness by minimizing close contacts, wearing a mask or face covering when interacting with those outside their immediate household, washing hands and surfaces regularly and staying home if they feel sick or have been exposed.”

Tips for reducing the spread of illness during holiday gatherings The Department of Public Health recommends the following preventative actions this holiday season: • Wearing masks or other face coverings when interacting with others outside your immediate household, including extended family, friends and members of the community.

• Washing hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water or hand sanitizer and disinfecting commonly touched surfaces regularly.

• Gathering with your immediate family or a small group of individuals. Shorten the duration of these events and arrange spacing between seating to lessen the risk for exposure.

• Hosting or attending outdoor activities with social distancing and mask wearing enforced. For indoor events, open windows or take other steps to improve ventilation as a means for diffusing the virus.

• Serving plated meals, instead of buffets, to reduce the handling of potentially contaminated utensils and dishware.

• If traveling, drive to your destination and self-quarantine for several days prior to departure/after your return to reduce the risk for exposure.

• Receiving a flu vaccination at least two weeks prior to your event.

• Any individual who is sick, is experiencing COVID-19 or flu-like symptoms, is awaiting test results, or may have been exposed to illness should stay home and avoid contact with others.

Since the virus that causes COVID-19 is spread person-to-person, the safest activities involve reducing exposure with others. Here are a few lower-risk alternatives to holiday favorites: • Preparing traditional family recipes for those within your household or delivering holiday treats in a way that avoids contact with others.

• Continuing traditional family activities like watching sports, movies or parades, playing family games and caroling through virtual connections.

• Shopping online and scheduling delivery of food/packages to your home.

• Touring holiday light displays with members of your household in your personal vehicle.

• Mailing hand-written notes, calling loved ones or creating virtual holiday cards for friends and family.

• Contacting your favorite charity to discuss volunteer/donation options, instead of planning in-person activities.

an economic toll on communities across the country, we’re working hard to support continued business growth here in Dardenne Prairie,” said Mayor David C. Zucker. “We’re excited that these new businesses are on track to open just in time for the holiday season, giving residents even more opportunities to shop local.”

Dardenne Prairie officials have partnered with local businesses throughout the pandemic to identify ways that

the community can provide support. In May, the city of Dardenne Prairie Board of Aldermen adopted a resolution that waived all liquor license renewal fees for retail stores and restaurants within the city of Dardenne Prairie through June 30, 2021. The city also recently launched a new website designed to make it easier for new and existing businesses to obtain resources about the permitting process, licenses, inspections and more.

Orchard Farm School District names new superintendent Dr. Wade Steinhoff, Assistant Superintendent of the Orchard Farm School District, was named the new superintendent of the district at the board of education meeting on Oct 20.

Steinhoff has spent the past 20 years in education.

In addition to seven years in the assistant superintendent role, Steinhoff ’s professional background includes three years as the Orchard Farm Middle School Principal, and 10 years in the Hazelwood School District.

Notably, in 2017, Steinhoff was one of 20 administrators from across the country to graduate from the first-ever cohort of the Aspiring Superintendent Academy, run by AASA, the national superintendent’s association. He will begin his new duties starting July 1, 2021.

“We are extremely pleased to have Dr. Steinhoff in this role,” said Nancy Goeke, president of the OFSD Board of Education. “Dr. Steinhoff has been with the district for 10 years now, his leadership has been instrumental in building trust within our community

and we look forward to him building upon that.”

“Over my career, I have had many favorite moments, but at the very top are the strong relationships I’ve had the pleasure of building right here in our community with students and their families, as well as with staff, the board of education, and the community at large. Continuing the tradition of a strong and healthy culture that is focused on doing what’s best for the kids is a tremendous honor.” said Steinhoff.

These are just a few key successes the district has experienced during Steinhoff ’s tenure as assistant superintendent: • Developed and then co-chaired the Future Ready Committee. This committee of school board members, parents, and staff developed the immediate and future vision for K-5 facility and programming, which included the transition to K-5 buildings.

• Led the district’s Strategic Vision Committee.

Liberty junior takes first at MSHSAA Cross Country Championships Liberty High School junior Ally Kruger took first place at the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) Cross Country Championships in the Girls’ Class 5 race held Nov. 7, at Gans Creek Cross Country Course in Columbia. Timberland High School senior Trevor Peimann took second place in the Boys’ Class 5 race.

Kruger’s winning time of 18:03.1 broke the previous record for Gans Creek of 18:08.6 set in 2019. With this win, she also became the first-ever state champion in cross country running for Liberty High School and the first female to place first at state for cross country in the Wentzville School District.

Kruger has been running competitively since she was eight years old, but began working with her coach, Toby Glavin, back in the eighth grade.

“Ally has been a stud runner from the day she joined our team,” Glavin reported.

“As a freshman, she finished in eighth place at the state meet – the fastest freshman that day in any class. This year, she was very process-focused, so unbelievably relaxed and in the best shape she has ever been!”

Fort Zumwalt South excel in soccer Last weekend the South Bulldogs won the Class 3 soccer tournament of the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA).

The tourney started back on Nov. 7 when they shut out Grain Valley 4-0 to go to the next bracket. On Nov. 10, they also shut out the Rockwood Summit club 1-0 to earn the opportunity to play Glendale. The Falcons were on able to score one goal on Nov. 10, the first against the Fort Zumwalt south team, as the Bulldogs took the match 3-1.

That set up the championship game against the Notre Dame team from Cape Girardeau on last Friday.

The South team again shut out their opponent 3-0 to take the championship under the leadership of Coach Jim Layne. With the victory the team moved up in the soccer rankings to No. 7 with a 22-4 overall record. ~~~Way to shine Major announcement coming by Bandits The St. Louis indoor football Bandits that plan on taking the field about springtime will share some exciting news for their inaugural season owner and head coach Jeff Hunt commented. ~~~Can’t wait until next issue Local baseball player wins major awards Recently Major League Baseball (MLB) handed out post-season awards to the players who excelled in their respected positions.

New films debuting simultaneously on streaming services and in theaters

A

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.

lthough summer traditionally has more than its fair share of blockbuster movies and family-friendly options, the end-of-the-year holidays are equally important on the movie calendar. Last December, for instance, “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” and “Jumanji: The Next Level” packed theater seats, providing a great return on investment for their Photo courtesy Warner Bros. respective studios. Thanks to its Christmas Day opening, Greta Gerwig’s “Little Women” crossed the $100 tional moviegoing, especially when Hollywood million mark and earned six Academy Award studios have been changing their operating models. The Walt Disney Company has pulled nominations.

A year can make one heck of a difference, the promising comedy “Free Guy” from its though, because the entertainment industry scheduled Dec. 11 release. In that film, Ryan currently is shifting gears. Theater chains such Reynolds plays Guy, a video game character as Regal Cinemas shut down the bulk of their who learns that his game will be shut down locations but kept seven venues in California forever. As of this writing, Guy’s fate, like that open. Due to a lack of new films to show mov- of many theaters, is up in the air.

A few months ago, Disney also caused a iegoers, Regal finally closed their remaining stir when it released the live-action version of theaters, including the newly refurbished location in the Irvine Spectrum. Normally, that “Mulan” on the Disney+ streaming platform Regal Cinema would have done a booming for $30. That was in addition to their monthly $6.95 subscription fee. The studio even made business in the weeks to come.

Though vaccine news has been highly prom- a large investment in a recorded version of the ising, I am wondering if this is the end of tradi- stage play “Hamilton” but released it on Dis-

ney+ at no additional charge.

“Soul,” the latest Pixar offering, also will show up on the streaming service on Christmas Day. Warner Bros. has one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year in Patty Jenkins’ “Wonder Woman 1984.” The sequel to the popular 2017 adventure shows Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) facing a new villain known as the Cheetah (Kristen Wiig) and discovering that her lost love Steve Trevor is alive, well and still youthful in 1984.

This film’s release date was shuffled more than a deck of cards until Warner Bros. decided to release it simultaneously on their HBO Max platform and in theaters on Christmas Day. Back in April, Universal Studios released “Trolls World Tour” as a Premium Video-on-Demand title instead of having a theatrical release. At the time, that seemed like a scandalous idea but seven months later, more studios are embracing the idea of digital releases with or without a theatrical release. Will this become the “new normal” for the movie industry? Only time will tell, but the fact that prolific writer Stephen King still loves going to the movies gives me some hope.

Yeggs

John Hanna

CROSSWORD: DOCTOR’S ORDERS

‘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 It’s let’s-bethankful time!

Now I’m sure many of you thankless dip-diddles are thinking, “What the holy-2020heck is there to be thankful for?!”

I hear ya, because in some states you’re not even allowed to have a proper Thanksgiving crowd. You’re only allowed a certain amount of people.

Be thankful. Now you can disinvite your least favorite child, maybe that one who’s in timeout (even though it’s been 17 years). Or you can leave out that weird relative. On our list, Aunt Fiona is out. Which means, the quivering mold of jellied cranberries still carrying the can indentations will be missed as well – thankful.

How about we just go out for our meal this year?

If not, instead of pickling the turkey in brine I’m going to have to marinate it in Purell.

If we go out, what’s it going to be like this time?

We did that one year. We told ourselves it would be easy. After all, how many people leave home on Thanksgiving? Turns out – the entire universe.

The lines were backed up around the parking lot. I guess there are more people than I thought who don’t like to cook, clean and eat stale turkey sandwiches for the following three weeks.

This year with social distancing and every other table blocked off, the lines will be twice as long.

But be thankful. It gets real messy trying to push those mashed potatoes and gravy through that mask.

Takeout is always an option. We can order ahead of time, pick up our meal and head over to the pic-

nic area, a.k.a., the car.

Have you noticed? Car picnicking is a thing now. We see it in every restaurant parking lot. People get their food and then wedge themselves behind the steering wheel. They juggle cheeseburgers and fumble to open ketchup packets as their fries scatter over the floor and their drinks drizzle down between their legs.

I foresee fold-down tables being installed in cars, along with napkin and silverware holders, perhaps a mini dishwasher in the trunk? Believe me, it’s coming.

So we’ll probably eat at home. But if I get done with the meal and hours later my company still won’t leave, I’ve got a sure way to clear out any room.

“Okay, everyone…we’re going to talk politics!”

Thankful!

Plateful of grateful
