Use of Virtual Visitation Increasing When a marriage is ending, there are many issues for divorcing couples to consider. Child custody and visitation agreements are one of the most emotional of those issues to decide. It can also be one of the most contentious, especially if one parent is considering moving some distance away from the other. For children, the divorce process is difficult to understand and the effects can be long-lasting. According to a University of Pennsylvania study, children can experience feelings of vulnerability, powerlessness, anger and even a sense of grief for the parent who is no longer around. After the divorce, the non-custodial parent can find him -- or herself struggling to keep the parental bond intact. But more courts and more states are leveraging technology in an effort to help parents and children cope with divorce and maintain the parent-child bond. Virtual visitation, also referred to as electronic visitation or e-visitation, allows non-custodial parents alternative methods of seeing their children. From texting to video chats, parents are finding more creative ways to stay in touch. Though used by many courts in different jurisdictions over the years, a
number of states have codified virtual visitation. There are currently six states that officially recognize some form of e-visitation - Florida, North Carolina, Texas, Wisconsin, Utah and Illinois. According to InternetVisitation.org, a website which focuses on legislative efforts concerning virtual visitation, at least 20 other states are in the early stages of passing laws making e-visitation a right, including Missouri. Utah was the first state to enact legislation and Illinois recently became the latest. In Illinois, the court can award these electronic visits unless harmful to the mental, physical or emotional health of the child. According to the law, visitation may include, “telephone, electronic mail, instant messaging, video conferencing or other wired or wireless technologies via the Internet, or another medium of communication” that can be used at times and conditions determined by the court. Of course, parents don’t need a court order to contact their children electronically, but such orders can be useful to clarify conditions when there are disagreements between parents. While some are concerned about virtual visitation replacing in-person visits, these laws are designed to be a supplement to time parents and children spend together as opposed to an outright replacement.

The big hoax
Check out our great selection of us Asparag orn Sweet C
There have been many frauds of historic proportions – for example, the financial pyramid scheme for which Charles Ponzi was sent to prison in the 1920s, and for which Franklin D. Roosevelt was praised in the 1930s, when he called it Social Security. In our own times, Bernie Madoff’s hoax has made headlines. But the biggest hoax of the past two generations is still going strong – namely, the hoax that statistical differences in outcomes for different groups are due to the way other people treat those groups. The latest example of this hoax is the joint crusade of the Department of Education and the Department of Justice against schools that discipline black males more often than other students. According to Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, this disparity in punishment violates the “promise” of “equity.” Just who made this promise remains unclear, and why equity should mean equal outcomes despite differences in behavior is even more unclear. This crusade by Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan is only the latest in a long line of fraudulent arguments based on statistics. If black males get punished more often than Asian American females, does that mean that it is somebody else’s fault? That it is impossible that black males are behaving differently from Asian American females? Nobody in his right mind believes that. But that is the unspoken premise, without which the punishment statistics prove nothing about “equity.” What is the purpose or effect of this whole exercise by the Department of Education and the Department of Justice? To help black students or to secure the black vote in an election year by seeming to be coming to the rescue of blacks from white oppression? Among the many serious problems of ghetto schools is the legal difficulty of getting rid of disruptive hoodlums, a mere handful of whom can be enough to destroy the education of a far larger number of other black students – and with it destroy their chances for a better life. Judges have already imposed too many legalistic procedures on schools that are more appropriate for a courtroom. “Due process” rules that are essential for courts can readily become “undue process” in a
I opinion I 3
school setting, when letting clowns and thugs run amok, while legalistic procedures to suspend or expel them drag on. It is a formula for educational and social disaster. Now Secretary Duncan and Attorney General Holder want to play the race card in an election year, at the expense of the education of black students. Make no mistake about it, the black students who go to school to get an education are the main victims of the classroom disrupters whom Duncan and Holder are trying to protect. What they are more fundamentally trying to protect are the black votes which are essential for Democrats. For that, blacks must be constantly depicted as under siege from whites, so that Democrats can be seen as their rescuers. Promoting paranoia translates into votes. It is a very cynical political game, despite all the lofty rhetoric used to disguise it. Whether the current generation of black students get a decent education is infinitely more important than whether the current generation of Democratic politicians hang on to their jobs. Too many of the intelligentsia – both black and white – jump on the statistical bandwagon, and see statistical differences as proof of maltreatment, not only in schools but in jobs, in mortgage lending and in many other things. Some act as if their role is to protect the image of blacks by blaming their problems on whites. But the truth is far more important than racial image. Wherever we want to go, we can only get there from where we are. Not where we think we are, or wish we are, or where we want others to think we are, but where we are in fact right now. But political spin and pious euphemisms don’t tell us where we are. After a while, such rhetorical exercises don’t even fool others. If we don’t have the truth, we don’t have anything to start with and build on. A big start toward the truth would be getting rid of the kinds of statistical hoaxes being promoted by Secretary of Education Duncan and Attorney General Holder.

l ette r s t o t h e e d i t o r Remember Vietnam vets
Restructuring
To the Editor: Someone once said, people are tired about hearing of the Vietnam War. This may be so. It is not so much about the war. That war is in the past. It is now about those veterans who were engaged in that war, who cannot get help and care. The Agent Orange Act of 1991 was passed by the Congress to afford medical assistance and disability to all Vietnam Veterans. There was no difference whether they served on land, at sea or in the air. It was presumed these veterans were in fact exposed to Agent Orange poisoning. Many diseases were realized by presumptive exposure to this deadly herbicide. Thousands upon thousands of those who served in the Armed Forces suffered. Many died due to this herbicide exposure. Many still survive who are sick. The Act of 1991 was adjusted. This allowed the Veterans Administration (VA) to distinguish between boots-on-ground and not having boots-on-ground in Vietnam. Consequently, due to this adjustment, Blue Water Navy and some Air Force who were receiving disability found it suddenly taken away. Why can’t our Congress see the harm that was caused by actions of a past administration? Congress can provide Vietnam veterans who have Veterans Affairs disability claims pending for the assistance they need for better quality of life and for their legacy. It is shameful, and a national disgrace that the United States of America has turned its face away from those who fought for freedom and who now suffer decades after that terrible war. Both houses of our legislative body must become bipartisan and act on House Bill HR-3612 and Senate Bill S.1629. These Bills will restore what was taken away from Vietnam Veterans by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The majority of the American people, no doubt, are unaware of what was and what is now, when it comes to caring for those who served in time of war. It is time to stand up and be counted. Do we, who served our country with pride and honor, have to beg for help in our time of need? Are we just pawns and sacrificial lambs to be toyed with? Are veterans in need to be sacrificed? Is our country broken? To help our veterans is not a handout, it is an obligation. John J. Bury, US Navy/retired Vietnam War Veteran
To the Editor: In the March 7 (edition of Mid Rivers Newsmagazine) the Sowell Column, Edelman editorial, and Heim letter all listed some selective, and interesting, facts and figures about taxes ...and ‘fairness’ and ‘profits’ and ‘envy of rich people.’ Those writers, and millions of other Americans, are petrified by the thought of something worse than Pearl Harbor or 911 or anything any domestic or foreign terrorist could do to any American: Raise Taxes. But capitalism - as we know it today would be almost-impossible without taxation at regularly-scheduled intervals. Harken back to “...those golden days of yore...” when we had little or no taxes, but had to quickly raise lots of funds for a ‘public’ endeavor like beating the Russians to the Moon, or winning WW II: For instance, ‘recovering’ Jerusalem and the rest of the Holy Land from the Moslems. Suppose you were one of the hundreds of fund-raisers sent out by Pope Urban II: Would you waste your time trying to collect two potatoes and an old knife from a million serfs? or ‘Follow-the-money’ to the castles of 1,000 barons and noblemen and ask for a bag of gold and a dozen horses? As a result of such hard-to-refuse requests for ‘whatever-you-can-spare-sir’ charitable contributions for several Christian Crusades, the ‘envied-rich-of-theirday’ soon learned to keep their ‘liquid’ and other easily-portable assets hidden. So it wasn’t until a century or two later, after regularly-due taxes became the norm, that people ‘exposed’ their ‘extra’ money and began to invest in potential entrepreneurs ... and capitalism achieved the critical mass necessary to sustain an economic chain reaction. Nowadays the seemingly-unavoidable root problem about taxes is that legislators who are still empowered by 18th Century republican regulations to decide how much and who and what to tax are also empowered to decide what to buy with those taxes, and from whom. Some people would have us believe that some legislators have been buying re-election votes by granting domestic-aid to some middle-class females to keep their babies alive, which started a reproductive chain reaction. But many women have been having babies without husbands and/ or without adequate funds to raise children since the dawn of history. So the current outcry about illegitimate babies makes me wonder if the criers sub-
consciously want the abortion rate to start rising again, or if they think ‘poor’ babies should be taken from their mothers (or parents) and placed in the care of others... like who? Every legislator, however, makes a de facto decision about ‘buying votes’ every time he or she votes for or against any appropriations bill. And every vote for anything is a de facto vote against several alternatives, each of which has many proponents and supporters. Many registered voters can be turned against a politician for almost any reason, including a vote for an appropriation that benefits another state or county. One solution to this “vote-buying-by-legislators’ problem might be an independent Purchasing Fourth Branch of Government - appointed, like many judges or chosen randomly, or by a lottery, for 2- or 4-year terms, from a pool of qualified persons? But a solution to get to the root of the problem might start with realizing that just because most of our Founding Fathers were admirable in many ways, doesn’t mean we have to live like they did forever. Our grandparents readily gave up their surrey-withthe-fringe-on-top. Maybe we should start giving up pure-republicanism? Everyone knows the head of any organization doesn’t have to ‘Fire-and-Hire’ just to change the color of a product, or the consultant on a project. I’m a retired architect, and for 37 years I’ve been ‘designing’ a way to remodel our republican form of democracy. Using modern communications technology, I propose a regular and convenient, but controlled way, for We The People to be able to modify quantitative questions (everything from speed limits to tax rates!) and override the yes-orno decisions of all our legislatures starting, of course, at the municipal or county level, and gradually working up - by some trialand-error - to the state and federal levels. For more details - including mathematical formulas I devised - please e-mail DavidMalan29@yahoo,com and list “MidRivers (date) Letter” as the subject. David J. Malan O’Fallon

MARCH 21, 2012 MID RIVERS NEWSMAGAZINE
EDITORIAL
Temporary heroes Spring is here. The season replaces the things that were lost last year; new buds emerge, the bare spots get covered again, flowers blushingly usher forth. It’s a season of renewal. Spring is here. But it never lasts, and never will. The seasons are temporary; green will fade to brown, brown will fade away. Like the seasons our heroes, who once seemed so permanent, are becoming as temporary as the green of the grass. They are here today and gone tomorrow. For us in St. Louis, there will be an odd reminder of that when #5 does not appear anywhere on the field for the hometown Cardinals. The difference between Albert Pujols and the green of the grass is that Albert isn’t really gone; he is simply elsewhere. He is estranged from us, but not vanished – which may hurt the worst of all.
Yet, this is the era we live in. Every major sport now features a famously displaced mega-star. Peyton Manning is gone from Indianapolis. Lebron James took his talents from Cleveland to South Beach. The hometown hero, the old concept of loyalty between a star and a franchise, has ended. Our sports heroes are as temporary as the seasons now. This phenomenon, however, is not limited to sports. Our entire culture has transitioned to a far shorter attention span. We have less loyalty to our celebrities. Cary Grant would have been a movie star if he lived for 200 years. Frank Sinatra was a musical icon until the day he died. Will Johnny Depp stand the test of time? Will Lady Gaga? It’s doubtful. Even our technology is temporary. The third generation iPad is out just as the phrase “tablet” enters our lexicon. Massive rear projection televisions litter the basements of homes that now feature an LCD or LED television. What are we to make of this impermanence? Where has Joe DiMaggio gone, or better still, Stan Musial? The thought of Sam Bradford one day playing in a different uniform seems not just possible, but expected. What of those young St. Louis Blues players driving area hockey fans into frenzy? They will one day be Blackhawks or Canucks or Stars. It is nearly a foregone conclusion. So this spring, like the springs of the past 100 years, baseball players gather to remove the rust from their games and begin new seasons in so many new towns. Albert Pujols is in Anaheim, Prince Fielder, Detroit; Carlos Beltran is a St. Louis Cardinal along with formerAstro Lance Berkman and former-Rockie Matt Holliday and former-Brave Rafael Furcal. The game, and our heroes, seems less sacred now. They seem more like annuals, less like perennials as they used to seem. Imagine had Ozzie Smith done a backflip to begin the Los Angeles Dodgers season. Imagine had Bob Gibson brushed back a hitter wearing Yankees pinstripes. Is it better or worse now? It is probably simply different. Our heroes are still heroes, but we are aware that they are temporary heroes now. We will root just as hard for the Redbirds, and we will await the renewal of another spring.

News Br iefs St. Peters Four arrested in theft ring Four people have been arrested in connection to a stolen credit card theft ring. Jose Castano-Plumeda, 28, Martin Medoza-Padilla, 34, and Mario GarciaIbarra, 33, all of Mexico, and Julio Chiquete-Almanza, 19, of Arizona have been charged with forgery and receiving stolen property. St. Peters police officers responded to the Wal-Mart located on Jungermann Road on Feb. 29 for suspicious activity. “Wal-Mart Loss Prevention contacted our department when they witnessed four Hispanic males attempting to buy highvalued items using multiple credit cards. Loss Prevention noticed multiple credit cards were being declined during the transaction,” said St. Peters Police Officer Melissa Doss. The subjects left Wal-Mart in their vehicle and were stopped a short distance away by St. Peters police officers. After an initial investigation, it was discovered the subjects were in possession of over 60 stolen credit cards and $10,000 worth of merchandise and gift cards. A search of the subject’s hotel room yielded over 200 stolen credit cards and approximately $50,000 in merchandise that was obtained using the fraudulent credit cards. All subjects are currently being held at St. Charles County Jail with a $100,000 cash only bond.
Man killed in crash A 28-year-old St. Charles County man was killed in a one vehicle accident on Arena Parkway on March 3. Lt. Craig McGuire, with the St. Charles County Sheriff’s Department, said Matthew Monroe apparently lost control of his Ford Focus and struck an electric pole. “We are still investigating,” McGuire said.

Dardenne Prairie Support for moms Morning Star Church is offering moms of school-age children the opportunity to meet and support other moms. MOMSNext (Mothers of School-Aged Children) is currently registering for new moms and will meet every third Friday night from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. throughout the school year at Morning Star Church. “Right now, Morning Star Church has an incredible community of women, mothers of preschool age children with our MOPS group,” said Heather Kemper-Hussey, with Morning Star Church. “However, moms do not stop needing support of other mothers once their children hit school-age.” In addition to the support of a community of other mothers, MOMSNext will provide personal growth opportunities, practical help, and spiritual hope. Kemper-Hussey said each meeting will include relevant topics geared especially towards schoolaged mothers. The initial MOMSNext meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on Thurs., March 29, at Morning Star Church in Dardenne Prairie. For more information or to reserve a spot, visit www.mscwired.org/momsnext.
St. Charles County Clear the path Dozens of volunteers are needed to help clear off trails in county parks this spring. Volunteers are asked to bring a set of gloves, a pair of sturdy boots, and some safety glasses to assist the St. Charles County Parks Department with the development and maintenance of its regional trail system.
SUMMER CAMP 2012
REGISTER NOW! For more information or to register, visit us online or call us at 1-888-FUN-YMCA.
YMCA Camp Lakewood is an overnight camp for boys and girls ages 6-17, located 75 miles from St. Louis between Potosi and Steelville, Missouri.
“Trail Work Days are led by trained and experienced Gateway Off-Road Cyclists (GORC) crew leaders who will explain proper, safe trail-building technique,” said Nancy Lee Gomer, with the parks department. “Physical demands involved in trail building range from light exertion to heavier exertion depending on the task. Volunteers will be appropriately matched regarding their personal interests and abilities. In general, trail work is fun and rewarding, but often involves frequent lifting, reaching, bending, carrying, and repetitive motion.” Park Trail Work Days are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Sat., April 7, at Klondike Park; and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sat., April 28, at Matson Hill Park in Defiance. Lunch will be provided to all who lend a hand. Gomer said the department can accommodate up to 100 volunteers. Interested volunteers should contact the Parks Department at 949-7535.
Disaster ready To better prepare St. Charles County for potential disasters, businesses and organizations throughout the area are invited to join the St. Charles County Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD). “The purpose of the COAD is to help organize St. Charles County’s response to a large-scale emergency or natural disaster. If such an event were to occur, it would involve more than the traditional responders (police, fire, ambulance, government and medical) and would require assistance from the entire community,” said Joe Morin, regional response planner for St. Charles County Department of Community Health and the Environment. Non-profits, volunteer groups, faithbased organizations, public service agencies and private businesses are invited to join the committee. “We welcome all organizations, as this will provide a better opportunity to ensure the best allocation of resources,” Morin said. Individuals interested in volunteering to help in times of disaster are encouraged to contact the county health department about its Medical Reserve Corps, the County Division of Emergency Management about
disaster response or to join their municipality’s CERT team.
St. Charles Road closed through summer Construction on South Main Street began on March 12 and will continue through Aug. 31. A portion of the road — between the Blanchette Bridge south to the St. Charles firehouse — is closed to traffic until the end of August. The closure will allow for the reconstruction of the roadway and connection to the proposed Noah’s Ark Drive. “This transportation connection has been in planning since before the Noah’s Ark Redevelopment first began,” said Kevin Corwin, city engineer. “Completion of this project is a priority for the city, especially given the scheduled November 2012 closure of the westbound lanes of the Blanchette Bridge. This portion of South Main will be closed to all through traffic for the duration of roadway construction and is estimated to be open to traffic on or before August 31. The project is scheduled to be completed by December 2012.” The general contractor for construction of the street will be Karrenbrock Construction of New Melle.

Yard waste collection back The time has come to cut the grass, pull the weeds and trim the trees. Spring is here and O’Fallon’s residential yard waste collection resumed for the season on March 12. “O’Fallon’s once-a week yard-waste service makes it easy for homeowners to keep their yards tidy from early spring to winter,” said Jim Wenzara, O’Fallon’s director of Environmental Services. “With spring, yard maintenance increasing. It’s a time-saver to be able to dispose of brush trimmings and other yard waste at the curb.” Residents who do not have yard waste disposal are invited to sign up for the service, which costs $7.50 per month, or $15 per bi-monthly bill. It is illegal to dump leaves and grass into city storm sewers or to discard yard waste in the trash. To enroll in yard waste collection, contact the Environmental Services Department at ofallonrecycles@ofallon.mo.us or 272-0477.
Fire district receives award The O’Fallon Fire District was presented with its second consecutive award for being an Internationally Accredited Fire Agency on March 12. Earlier this month, the O’Fallon Fire Protection District became the first fire department in the state of Missouri to achieve Internationally Accredited status for the second time. The award was made by the Center for Public Safety Excellence’s Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) at its spring meeting in North Las Vegas, Nev. The Fire District received the award after working more than five years toward showing how the district meets the standards that are set by the CFAI. The CFAI has approved accreditation status for only 145 fire agencies worldwide. This in-depth process involved the district stating how they meet the standards in 10 categories. These categories include more than 250 performance indicators and each of them had to be addressed through a system of self-evaluation. In January, CFAI sent a group of assessors to validate and verify that the district was meeting all the performance indicators and identify what areas needed improvement. After the site visit by the assessors it was recommended that the district receive accreditation. The district then went before the CFAI at its spring meeting and answered any remaining questions that the panel put forward. Afterwards, a unanimous vote for accreditation was received.
Playtime for all O’Fallon Councilman Bill Gardner
and the O’Fallon non-profit organization Unlimited Play were recently honored by the Missouri Park and Recreation Association (MPRA) with citations for their dedication to making parks and recreation accessible to everyone. Gardner was recognized by the MPRA for his extraordinary volunteer efforts for O’Fallon, including extreme fundraising – jumping into icy water, climbing thousands of stairs, and running across the state. From 2005 to 2011, Gardner logged at least 17,000 volunteer hours. He is a member of the city’s Parks Board, and remains an active community volunteer. “To Bill, volunteering is a way of life. There’s nothing he wouldn’t do to provide ways for people to experience parks and recreation,” said O’Fallon’s Director of Parks and Recreation Cindy Springer. Unlimited Play, Inc., of O’Fallon, was the organizational winner of a citation for tireless efforts in providing fullyaccessible playgrounds for children with physical limitations, so that all children can play together. Founded by Todd and Natalie Blakemore in 2003, the organization successfully partnered with the city of O’Fallon to design, raise funds and build the city’s first universally-accessible playground, Brendan’s Playground, which opened in 2011.

Quiet Zones could stop train whistles in O’Fallon By Mary Ann O’Toole Holley Some find the sound of train whistles sounding in the distance appealing in a nostalgic sort of way, but living next to a railroad crossing often means jarring sounds when sleeping or even wakeup calls to those who rest lightly. Mary Laulo, a citizen member of the O’Fallon Public Works Commission, is pushing for “Quiet Zones” in the city, a proposal that would have trains stifle their horns during nighttime hours while traveling through the city. Some time ago, the Traffic Commission said a concern was brought to them about the train noise along the tracks near City Hall, including whistles that often halt meetings for a few seconds. Laulo looked into it and found that under federal guidelines citizens have rights to petition for a quiet zone if needed, but under those guidelines, expensive barriers at costs of up to $200,000 are needed at railroad crossings. Councilman Jeff Schwentker said a Quiet Zone proposal was presented about five years ago by former alderman Daniel Christoff, but it didn’t get anywhere. “As a city, I know there are certain things we do that benefit certain people, but my idea would be to go to those 2,500 people who live near railroad crossings and see if they’d be willing to pay for it,” Schwentker said. “I suggest going to the people. I’m not in favor of financing through the city. I would go to the people and businesses to finance the plan.” Schwentker added, “I’ve lived by railroad tracks, and never had anyone come to me and complain about the noise of the railroad. Others have said it kind of makes the town.”
In 2006, the Federal Railroad Administration addressed the use of locomotive horns at public highway-rail grade crossings, and gave the FRA secretary the authority to make reasonable exceptions. By the close of an extended comment period, more than 1,400 comments had been filed with the agency. The FRA’s rules allow locomotive engineers, at their discretion, to choose not to sound the locomotive horn if the locomotive speed is 15 miles per hour or less if the train crew is equipped flaggers to provide warning to motorists. Locomotive horn sounding is also not required in corridors equipped with supplementary safety measures at each public crossing. Communities with crossing corridors that meet either of these standards may silence the locomotive horns if all other applicable quiet zone requirements have been met. “I presented different options to the council and Public Works Commission, and a resolution from Public Works was made to recommend that to the City Council that Quiet Zones be created,” Laulo said. Councilman Jim Pepper suggested placing extensions on the current gates located at crossings in the city, rather than the approximately $200,000 four-quadrant gates per intersection suggested by the FRA. “The city may be able to afford it if they use the funding they want to spend beautifying the city,” Laulo said. “I think any reasonable citizen would want safety issues addressed first. The four-quadrant gates are the best way to go, or by placing a median to prevent vehicles from slipping past the arm barriers.” Laulo said she didn’t know how many times a day trains pass through the city, but economic reports indicate that
A four-quadrant railroad crossing.
more trains will be used in the future for transportation of goods because it is the cheapest method. “I think if we can get costs down to a reasonable price, the city can afford it,” Laulo said. “It not only improves safety, it improves citizen health issues and property values. There are studies that show with a good night’s sleep, a person performs better and fights illness better. Even subconsciously, the impact of a train horn does affect a person’s sleep.” She added, “Spend the night next to the railroad tracks. Let those who live next to the trains speak. It’s about providing a safety device for the public. The gates are safer in any situation, regardless of the sound.” The Public Works Commission recommends starting with time limitations from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Wayside horns are also an option. “The simplest way to reduce train noise is the wayside horn,” Laulo said. “The wayside horns are quieter, but not silent. Sound is directed at the roadway itself.” Wayside horns cost about $30,000 each.
County exec vetoes bill to purchase new voting equipment By Brian Flinchpaugh The head of elections in St. Charles County says County Executive Steve Ehlmann’s veto of a bill that would have allowed the county to buy more than $1 million in new voting machines “jeopardizes” elections later this year. County Election Authority Director Rich Chrismer said Ehlmann’s veto on March 13 may mean he has to continue to use older equipment that could break down. Chrismer said he’s not sure the refurbished equipment will work, with there being no new parts available for repairs. “He’s (Ehlmann) putting the elections in jeopardy,” Chrismer said. Chrismer wants the county buy 130 new optical scanners and 130 new touch screens – two machines for each of the county’s 121 precincts and 18 emergency backups. Half the machines would be able to be used by disabled voters. The new machines would have replaced equipment bought in 2005 that is wearing out, Chrismer said. The lifespan of the earlier equipment was expected to be six to eight years. The County Council voted 4-1 at its Feb. 27 meeting to approve a $1,193,423.70 bid from Henry Adkins & Son, Inc. for new voting machines. Adkins & Son, Inc. was the only bidder.
The new equipment would have been in place in time for county voters to cast ballots in the August primary and in November. But the vote came after strong questioning by council members and doubts expressed by Ehlmann about the bidding process. Ehlmann had 10 days to decide whether to veto the council’s vote. Chrismer said he will ask the council to override the veto, which will take five votes within the next 30 days. The next scheduled council meeting is March 26. That one vote may come from Councilman Terry Hollander, District 5, who was out of the room at the time of the vote on Feb. 27. Councilman Joe Cronin, District 1, cast the lone no vote. “I’m leaning toward supporting buying the machines,” Hollander said on March 13, adding that there probably was a need for new equipment. But Hollander also said the problem is that there is only one bid and would like to see extra bidders. In his veto message to the council, Ehlmann said Chrismer should be deferred to in deciding when machines should be replaced and what equipment to buy. But Chrismer has to abide by the county’s personnel and purchasing policies. Ehlmann said that the contract with Adkins & Son called for $1.2 million in additional spending, after a trade-in credit of $76,176 from the current system. And
it was the only bid. “Confronted with a decision to spend $1.2 million based on a single bid, I did not believe a purchase at this time was in the best interest of county taxpayers,” Ehlmann said. Sending the contract back to the council, he suggested that the bid specifications be amended to encourage more bidders or existing specifications be reissued only after a more competitive market exists in Missouri. Other companies may be seeking certification, he said. Twelve bids were sent out and only the Adkins & Sons bid came back, Chrismer said. He said the company is the only one certified to sell voting equipment by the Missouri Secretary of State’s office. Only companies certified by Secretary of State's office can sell the equipment and few companies are involved because certification is expensive. He said there are only four companies nationally that currently sell voting equipment. There are reports that other bidders are trying to obtain needed federal and state certification, Ehlmann said. “He’s asking that we wait until other firms are certified,” Chrismer said. Chrismer said the certification might take several years. Chrismer said if the veto stands the county cannot use funding set aside for the equipment.

Gun shop and gunsmith sets site on O’Fallon By Mary Ann O’Toole Holley The O’Fallon City Council has given its approval to a conditional use permit that will allow the Extreme Gun Shop to move into the city adjacent to an establishment that serves alcohol by the drink. Mike Lumetta of St. Peters is relocating his gun shop from Labadie, a small town about 50 miles west, to be closer to home and to be in a larger city with more opportunity to expand. The city’s Planning and Zoning Commission gave its stamp of approval, with conditions, and the final approval was given by the Council last week. Councilman Michael Snowden asked to suspend the traditional two-reading rule and consider it under one reading because Lumetta wanted to have his business operational prior to April 12, when the National Rifle Association holds its convention in St. Louis. Snowden said that before opening the shop, Lumetta’s business must undergo a 30-day inspection period performed by the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). “On April 12, the NRA is having a convention in the area and the petitioner would like to have his business operational
by then, and still have the 30-day inspection completed,” Snowden said. Public Works Director Steve Bender said Extreme Gun care and sales will be located in a strip mall at 975 West Terra Lane. The adjacent owners have been informed. The bar, ABC, has decided to give up its billiards area to accommodate the gun shop, but there would be a wall built between the bar and the business. The business, ABC, will be reducing its square footage. “The city hasn’t had one of these types of gun shops for some time, but staff has done research on what can be required, and we’ve come to learn that safety issues are also reviewed once the business is in place,” Bender said at the Planning and Zoning meeting. “The ATF inspects the building for safety requirements, and the owner must also work with the city police department.” Bender said there is a condition that there will be no pawning of firearms. Planning and Zoning Commissioner Michael Nunnery said he wasn’t against any type of business coming into O’Fallon, but added, “Guns and alcohol don’t mix.” “I’d be concerned to even go into a gun shop next door to an adjacent bar,” Nun-
nery said. Planning and Zoning Commissioner Scott Avery cited concerns about recent “smash and run” issues in the area. “In their (Lumetta’s) own correspondence, they say they don’t want bars (on the windows), but will have a gun safe,” Avery said. “There were stores in St. Charles that had these things in place and were robbed. Isn’t this a place we should add security?” Bender said the shop would be inspected by ATF, and the city has a trained police officer that works to best secure the business. Bender said based upon information received, there will be no indoor gun range. He said if that occurs, such a shooting range is not allowed in the city without going through the review process. Lumetta addressed the council, and said he was in agreement with all conditions imposed by Planning and Zoning. Resident Arnie Dienoff spoke during public comment saying a conditional use permit is a prerogative of the City Council, but the goal is to protect health, safety and welfare of citizens and visitors. “I’m not opposed to the retail gun shop. There is a need in the community, but in a safe, concise method. I don’t think the
conditions have been met,” Dienoff said. Dienoff said he spoke with the ATF, and reviewed federal firearms codes, and safety and licensing information for federal firearm licensees. “Federal firearms regulations require that structural integrity and security of the premises,” Dienoff said. “The Missouri Department of Public Safety said there are no state regulations as the state leaves it up to the municipal government and its zoning regulations and compliance regulations. I’m asking that conditions be placed, including a bullet proof curtain and screening be built into drywall from floor to roof, that a wall be built with metal or steel inside the wall to prevent anyone in the alcohol establishment from gaining access.” Councilman Rick Lucas, liaison to the Planning and Zoning Commission said concrete bollards should be placed in front of the building. “There were two places where a pickup truck drove through the window, loaded up the gun safes and 600 to 800 guns are out on the streets,” Lucas said. Mayor Bill Hennessy asked that a condition be added to require a firewall to the top of the roof.

Photo: Farmers market By Brian Flinchpaugh The O’Fallon Farmers’ and Artists’ Market is moving to Lake Saint Louis and will be open for business on Saturdays starting in April. The market will be open from 8 a.m. to noon starting April 14, in parking lot on the east side of the Meadows Shopping Center. The market’s 2012 season will end on Saturday, Oct. 13. It will now be known as the “Lake Saint Louis Farmers’ Market” according to the market’s Website. Until this year, the market had been held in a parking lot across from the River City Rascals Stadium in the TR Hughes baseball complex at 900 TR Hughes Boulevard. A number of restaurants and retail stores are located at the Meadows, which is just off I-64, at Lake Saint Louis Boulevard. Eric Sterman, assistant city manager for Lake Saint Louis, said the city’s Board of Alderman has discussed trying to attract a farmers’ market for sometime. But the market coming to the Meadows “is a private deal.” Sterman said the market will be located in parking lots near Hwy. 40-61 and Technology Drive. The city will inspect how the market is set up and food inspections and licensing will be handled by St. Charles County officials.
The city may receive some revenue from a business license bought by market organizers and vendors will charge city sales tax, he said. “But this is not a primary source of revenue,” Sterman said. In the past, the market has featured locally grown fruits and vegetables, organic meats and eggs, plants and flowers and handmade products from local artisans. At least 10 local farms and seven artisans have participated and other vendors participating aren’t listed on the group’s Website. “We don’t have a list of vendors but as long as the weather is good we expect a lot to participate,” he said. The market started in 2009 and the organization gained nonprofit status last year. The market’s governing board donated money for a scholarship to Earthdance School in 2012, with a portion of funds from sales of paintings by local artist L.M Staples. The group made another donation toward building the St. Charles Master Gardeners greenhouse in the name of Leslie Limberg and all area master gardeners. O’Fallon officials say the market was one of a kind in their community. Tom Drabelle, public relations director for the city, said the city has individual fruit vendors but doesn’t have another market currently. “We’re open to it if it’s the right situation,” Drabelle said.

St. Peters residents to vote on water line ‘insurance’ By Brian Flinchpaugh St. Peters and Lake Saint Louis residents are being asked to approve paying an extra $1 a month for some piece of mind when it comes to repairing water lines to their homes. Voters in both municipalities will be asked to approve a water line service repair program, Proposition W, on the April 3 ballot. Voters are being asked to pay $1 a month for a water line insurance program. Lisa Bedian, director of communications for St. Peters, said that the program is similar to the city’s sewer lateral insurance program. The program has already served 700 city residents since it began in 2004. The program is an outgrowth of efforts to find a way to reduce the cost of water line repairs to residents. Private water line insurance is currently available for a fee of $5 or more a month. The Missouri General Assembly approved the needed authorization for the program last year that requires the program
Cottleville officials can now work for free…if they want By Michael R. Smith In its Thursday, March 15, meeting the Cottleville Board of Aldermen approved a bill that allows the mayor and aldermen to waive all or part of their annual salaries. Instead of being paid, the officials’ paychecks would stay in the city’s general revenue fund. City Administrator and Chief of Police Scott Lewis explained that the action is completely voluntary for each individual and that he didn’t know which if any of the five officials would waive any of their salaries. Currently, Mayor Donald Yarber receives an annual salary of $12,000. Each of the four aldermen receives $2,400 a year. If all five officials waived their entire salaries for a year, Cottleville would save $21,600. Lewis said that Cottleville might “direct (the salaries) to some one-time expenses. “They’re not a reliable source of income,” so the funds could not be applied to ongoing budget items. Lewis said the salary waiver is not a reaction to any financial stresses the city is under, but merely a continuation of Cottleville’s “very conservative” history in financial administration. He said Weldon Spring has a similar ordinance and that some of its city leaders have waived their salaries.
to be approved by voters. A similar measure is on the Lake Saint Louis ballot. Bedian said the fee will be mandatory if approved and $12 a year will be included on property tax bills. “For an insurance program of this type, you need a large pool of money,” Bedian said. In St. Peters, the program is expected to generate about $215,000 annually from the 17,951 water service connections in the city. All residents in both municipalities with
single-family homes or owning property having four or fewer dwelling units will be covered. In St. Peters, this includes residents served by Missouri-American Water Company. If approved, the program will begin in January 2013. City officials say water line repairs can be expensive. A spot repair can normally cost between $700 and $800. If the entire service line is replaced, the cost can be about $1,800. St. Peters officials will determine if an entire line has to be replaced or if an isolated
leak is simply repaired. The maximum cost limit for the plan is $7,500 – about three times the average repair cost. There were 108 water service-line breaks in 2011, with the average repair cost at $1,700 each. Irrigation lines are not covered under the program. Covered is the residential service line from the water meter to the exterior side of the foundation. Driveway and sidewalk replacements are not covered under the program. Water service lines can be pulled under these items without disturbing them, city officials said.
Do we have enough firefighters to keep us safe? The National Fire Protection Association doesn’t think so. The Cottleville Fire Protection District does not meet recommended staffing levels for safely and effectively handling an emergency situation. Do our firefighters get enough training? Not enough to meet national standards. Is lifesaving equipment up-to-date? Important equipment is at or near the end of its useable life. What’s the solution? Proposition CARES will meet these challenges head on. This responsible plan was recommended by community leaders, business leaders and other volunteers through the CARES (Citizens Advancing Responsible Emergency Services) program. It will provide critically needed firefighters, training and up-todate equipment for our community. Proposition CARES will restore the District’s tax levy to about the level it was 25 years ago. For the owner of a $200,000 home, this proposal would mean an additional investment of less than $2 a week, and it will mean a safer community for all of us.

New engineering program deemed a success by FHSD officials and students By Michael R. Smith Francis Howell School District officials heard a report at its recent board meeting that the district’s STEM program, Project Lead the Way, has been a successful and popular course addition with high school students. STEM is an acronym for Science Technology Engineering Math studies. Nationwide, STEM programs seek to improve students’ knowledge and understanding in technical studies. Typically, the programs rely heavily on a practical, hands-on approach through projects which supplement book instruction. In the district, STEM instruction is offered through four-day summer camps for elementary students. The district’s five middle schools offer an introductory engineering course. In 2010, the district began high school STEM courses through Project Lead the Way — or as district officials call it, PLTW. Each of the district’s high schools offer PLTW, which began in the 2010-11 school year. PLTW began that year as an elective study with one honors-level course: Introduction to Engineering. A second course, Principles of Engineering, began in the current school year. For 2012-13, the district will offer a third class, Digital Electronics. Eventually, the program should be a four-year, pre-engineering course of study, said Bryan Williams, the district’s director of assessment and program development. Williams was involved in the creation of PLTW and said that it offers some students “another element in their course offerings.” Because PLTW is an elective program and students must apply to it, they must work closely with counselors early to fit it into their overall course load, he said. Besides giving students a practical introduction to engineering, the courses may also transfer for collect credit. Currently, 40 universities such as Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla accept PLTW courses for college credit. PLTW promotion begins in the district’s middle schools in all three grades, and eighth-grade students can elect a semester pre-engineering course. Williams believes that early promotion is why PLTW has taken off in the high schools. Currently, 276 Francis Howell high school students are enrolled in PLTW. School officials say the current courses have been popular among students and that as word got out about them, interest has exploded. PLTW enrollment for next year has nearly doubled to 536 students. Of those 536 high-schoolers about17 percent, or 91 students, are girls.
Francis Howell North High School senior Nicole Yuede is currently taking the PLTW course, Introduction to Engineering. In a PLTW presentation at the school board’s February meeting she explained why she and other students enjoy PLTW. “It’s hands-on. It’s practical.” Francis Howell North sophomore Mike Kuhl echoed Yuede’s comments. He is in the Principles of Engineering course. “It’s now my favorite class,” he said. Kuhl described to school board members one of the projects he had completed with another FHN sophomore, Nathan Mills. The students built a machine which automatically moves marbles made from different materials into various bins. The students said that the engineering principles they learned helped them build the marble sorter. “I knew I possibly wanted to be an engineer,” Mills said. “This has helped me better understand engineering.” Before taking the PLTW class Mills said he had been considering pursuing a college program in engineering and that what he’s accomplished through PLTW confirmed his decision. For board vice-president Stephen Johnson those were good words to hear because he said that was one of the district’s goals when it created PLTW. The students’ comments, he said, speak “a lot for the commitment of the district. It’s a great reflection on the district.” Even when students decide not to pursue engineering after high school, Johnson said, the program works because it saves students time, effort, and financial investment in college. FHN senior Yuede agreed. “I didn’t want to get into a college like (Missouri University of Science and Technology) and not know what I was getting into.” She said that she enjoys her introductory engineering course but it has caused her to rethink her university major. Now, she knows that engineering is not what she wants to pursue. In introducing the student’s presentation to the board, Francis Howell Central PLTW instructor Don Barnes praised it for adding the program. Barnes is one of four instructors teaching PLTW classes. “I am thankful to the district for starting Project Lead the Way,” he said. “I see the enthusiasm from the students. It’s awesome.” He also said that he has benefited from PLTW: “It has rejuvenated my career. I love it.” Williams said that in order to be certified to teach courses educators must undergo two weeks of college-level summer study.

Homeowners charged in ‘snake house’ discovery By Brian Flinchpaugh Having more than four dogs, cats, or potbellied pigs can get a St. Charles County pet owner in hot water, but having more than 150 snakes and reptiles under the same roof may not be a violation of county ordinances. That may be the case for the residents of a home in the first block of Oak Bend Lane off Laura Hill Road near St. Peters. Two county Sheriff’s deputies and a family services worker responded to a hotline call on Feb 25, about possible child neglect at the home. Homeowners Anthony Higgins, 37, and Michelle Higgins, 36, were each charged with two counts of child endangerment on March 1 in the 11th Judicial Circuit Court in St. Charles. John Sonderegger, coordinator of the county’s Office of Public Information, said March 2, that county ordinances limit residents the number of pets in a home. Exotic animals are not allowed. “The limit is four pets whether they’re dogs, cats, potbellied pigs,” Sonderegger
Words hurt: Group wants residents to watch their language By Brian Flinchpaugh A group made of people with disabilities is asking that St. Charles County residents clean up their language. Representatives from People First of Missouri, an advocacy group made up of people with disabilities, came before the St. Charles County Council on March 12 to publicize a disability awareness campaign. The third annual campaign asks that people “clean up their language.” When speaking or writing about persons with disabilities, the campaign says people should: Say “person with a disability” or “person who is deaf or hard of hearing” instead of “disabled or handicapped” or “deaf and dumb.” Say “person with a cognitive or intellectual disability” instead of “mentally retarded or retard.” Say “person with epilepsy or person with a seizure disorder” instead of “epileptic.” Say “person who uses a wheelchair” instead of “confined to a wheelchair.” Say “person with Downs Syndrome” instead of “Mongoloid or retard.” Use “person with a physical disability” rather than “crippled.” Say “non-disabled” instead or “normal or healthy.”
said. But he said the ordinance doesn’t address reptiles such as snakes, which also aren’t considered exotic animals. The number of animals found, however, contributed to a situation at the house that Sonderegger described as “horrible.” Sheriff’s Department Lt. Craig McGuire said the smell of ammonia, animal waste and filth sickened both officers and the worker at the home. A deputy had to don an oxygen mask from a fire department to go back inside the house to collect evi-
dence photos, he said. McGuire said authorities have found similar situations with pets before. “This one was among the top five,” he said. “It was a mess.” Authorities placed two children in the home - a 13-year-old girl and a 15-yearold boy - in the custody of an uncle. The tally sheet of what they found in the house included a dog, 132 snakes, five lizards, 20 geckos, 800 to 1,000 mice and rats, and five-gallon buckets of mealworms.
The snakes included non-venomous boa constrictors, milk, corn and king snakes. The mice and mealworms were for feeding the reptiles. The animals had been taken away on Feb. 27, with the exception of a dog, Sonderegger said. The snakes are being cared for by a reptile rescue group. The mice and rats went to a pet store food supplier. The home was condemned and homeowners have to clean it up to meet county codes before it can be reoccupied, he said.

O’Fallon begins trash audit
Grand Closeout speCial - save $10,000 for a limited time
By Mary Ann O’Toole Holley O’Fallon city officials are moving closer to an audit to explore improvements in the city’s Environmental Services Division, the department responsible for pick-up of trash, bulk items, recyclables and yard waste for residents as part of city services. Some residents, including Mary Laulo, a resident-member on the Public Works Commission, say there is fear that the city may still want to sell the division. Laulo wants to know why the city has included an appraisal in the audit request. O’Fallon Public Relations Director Tom Drabelle said the city is currently negotiating with Shaw Environmental for an audit to ensure that the city is getting the greatest value out of the general operations, the transfer station facility and the transfer station permit held by the city for the benefit of citizens. The final report will summarize information collected, the results of the appraisal and recommendations to the city. The audit will include presentations of the final report to a Citizen’s Committee, and then on a second occasion to elected officials. Councilman John Haman said at a recent City Council meeting there were numerous concerns about the sale of Environmental Services (ES), and wanted to ensure that the request for services was “more of an audit to determine the best way to protect residents and funding for the ES system.” In December, because of disapproval from residents and some members of the O’Fallon City Council who feared a sale may be in the offing, Haman introduced an amendment to clarify the bidding process to ensure that the consultant would look at the Environmental Services transfer station in terms of its efficient operation only.
The vote passed with a vote of 7-2. Councilmen Jeff Schwentker and Bill Gardner voted against amending the resolution. “The amendment and resolution passed and that is the direction that city staff has followed since that time,” Drabelle said. “No intent to sell Environmental Services is included in this proposal. There’s no mention in there of anything related to selling the department because that was not the direction given to staff by the Council.” However, Laulo said that in December, the council made a resolution to take the “sale of Environmental Services” off the table, and an appraisal, with its related costs, are not usually requested unless a sale is being considered. Laulo said she has been trying to get more information on plans for ES’s future since filing a Freedom of Information request two months ago. She says the city has been stalling and wants to charge her $425 for legal work to provide email and other records related to the division. “They’re not giving me any information,” Laulo said. “It’s beyond the limitation of the law in terms of their response. Isn’t the purpose of the law to remove veils? To charge a citizen that kind of money to look into what the government is doing makes me outraged. If there are things in the emails that are privileged information, it’s still public record because it was done through city email.” She said when the issue to audit the ES Department began several months ago, selling was the issue. The city’s Green Commission and Public Works Department jointly recommended that the city not sell it. Public comment also urged the Council to drop any ideas of selling the division, she said.
Farmers seek help in fixing bridge By Brian Flinchpaugh A group of St. Charles County farmers near the Mississippi River are asking the county for help in dealing with the closing of a bridge over a ditch that’s preventing them from working their fields. Donald W. Beimdiek, an attorney with the firm of Armstrong Teasdale LLP, asked the county to work with the Missouri Department of Transportation and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Company. Beimdiek made the request at the public comment portion of the St. Charles County Council meeting on March 12. Beimdiek said the state inspected a bridge crossing a ditch along Windfall Farm Road on the railroad right-of-way and found defects. The bridge was barricaded to pre-
vent traffic from crossing it last week. The problem is that the bridge provides farmers access to fields on both sides of the railroad line and is the only easy access to property when the Mississippi River floods. He said three farmers in the area were given no notice. The farms, which include duck hunting clubs, cultivate nearby fields with beans and corn. Crops in the fields are also grown to feed migrating waterfowl. The farmers are asking the county to encourage the state and railroad to fix the bridge quickly, Beimdiek said. “The weather is starting to get on to plowing time and we need help,” he said. Farmers and county officials are expected to meet this week to discuss the problem.

Councilman Wynn faces competition in re-election bid By Brian Flinchpaugh St. Charles County Councilman Paul Wynn has decided to file for another fouryear term for his District 4 seat despite being physically absent from council meetings since last fall. He also has some competition. David Hammond, a former St. Charles County building inspection chief, filed on March 13, challenging Wynn in the Republican primary to be held Aug. 7. Wynn took a job as a military contractor in Afghanistan last September and missed
County to offer hint about new property tax rates By Brian Flinchpaugh The St Charles County Council may be giving taxpayers a clue about the county’s property tax rates that they will set later this year. But what they have to take action on before April 8 may be little more than that – in fact it may be largely meaningless. A bill authorizing “nonbinding projected tax rates” for the county’s general and other funds in 2012 was introduced at the council’s March 12 meeting. After council approval by April 8, the county’s nonbinding rates will be included in a notice sent to county taxpayers. Taxing jurisdictions in Missouri’s firstclass and charter counties have been required since 2009 to submit non-binding tax rates to their county assessor. This year, the rates must be submitted by April 8. The county will include the rates in a projected property tax liability notice to be sent to property owners starting in late April. The notice gives taxpayers an indication of possible taxes, but the county, school districts and other taxing entities don’t set their actual rates until September. Actual rates after jurisdictions receive final property values from the county assessor and they conduct public hearings on their proposed rates. County Executive Steve Ehlmann said the rates that are part of the notice are the same as 2011. For the county’s general fund, which includes many of its operations, the rates is “likely” to be set at .16 of a cent on each $100 of assessed valuation. The county’s Road and Bridge Fund rate may be set at 20.25 cents per each $100 assessed valuation. The county’s Dispatch and Alarm Fund rate is like to be set at 3.90 cents per each $100 assessed valuation. The council could give a second reading to the bill at its March 26 meeting.
council meetings in 2009 while working in Iraq. He has listened to county meetings by telephone and can vote on emergency bills and voice votes. But he cannot vote on roll call votes unless he is physically present at the meeting according to Missouri statutes. In an email, Wynn said he decided to file for a new term while he was back home last week. County election officials say he filed on March 7 before going back to Afghanistan.
Up for election in the Aug. 7 party primary and the November election are seats in council districts 2, 4, and 6. Candidate filing closes March 27. Wynn also has faced a challenge from a bill sponsored by Councilman Jerry Daugherty, District 6. If enacted, the bill would ask voters this November to approve changes that could force council members to forfeit their seats if they are physically absent from four consecutive meetings. The bill would apply to council members
elected in November. By a voice vote at their Jan. 30 meeting, the council agreed to a motion by Councilman Joe Cronin, District 1, to table the bill. The council has not taken up the bill since, taking no action at its March 12 meeting. Only the three incumbents in districts 2, 4 and 6 have filed for reelection. Incumbent Joe Brazil, District 2 and a Republican, filed for a new term on Feb. 28, the first day of filing for the primary. He was joined by Daugherty, the only Democrat on the seven-member council.

CARDINALS SALUTE 2012

Season preview STARTING PITCHERS The biggest question mark for the 2012 Cardinals’ starting rotation will come from a former first-round pick who compiled just 25 wins against 34 losses spanning seven seasons, with the last season being 1996. No, the ‘Birds have not added Donovan Osborne back into the starting five. The biggest question for the rotation lies with the man who will be coaching it this year. For the first time since 1995, when Cardinals starters will not have the benefit of the impeccable strategies offered up by former pitching coach, Dave Duncan. Lilliquist, most famous for a bullpen snafu in the World Series where he apparently heard the name “Rzepczynski” instead of the name “Motte,” assumes the reigns for managing the pitching staff this season. He has been long-favored by the Cardinals’ front office, paving the way for a quick ascension from minor league coach to bullpen coach to pitching coach. As for the rotation itself, there are not many surprises going into the season. The biggest story line is certainly the return of Adam Wainwright. Besides being the most physically gifted pitcher among the top five, Waino is also the only member of the staff who can match the competitive edge and “ace” mentality of Chris Carpenter. Carp, who will carry the title of ace until he retires, is coming off a career high innings load. It would be foolish to think that won’t affect the veteran this year at some level, even if it only means that Lilliquist needs to consider having Carpenter skip a start or three early in the season.
Jaime Garcia, the little lefty that could, is a solid number three starter as long as his changeup continues to baffle hitters. The intrigue in this rotation, and where Lilliquist will either sink or swim in his first year, comes with Kyle Lohse and Jake Westbrook at the bottom of the rotation. The two righties are smart, serviceable veterans, but they leaned heavily on Duncan’s strategies due to both lacking a dominant pitch. That said, an improved Cardinals’ defense should prove beneficial here. Of these five, we are predicting that Westbrook has the most surprisingly good 2012 season. Predictions Chris Carpenter: 15 wins, 3.30 ERA Adam Wainwright: 15 wins, 3.00 ERA Jaime Garcia: 13 wins, 3.50 ERA Kyle Lohse: 12 wins, 4.10 ERA Jake Westbrook: 14 wins, 3.80 ERA BULLPEN First thing that needs to be mentioned here: Jason Motte is the closer for the 2012 Cardinals. Oh what a relief to be able to say those words. After all of Tony La Russa’s posturing last year that Motte was “just a reliever,” it is great to be able to stop playing head games and call it like it is. Beyond just being named the closer, Motte should blossom into a very effective closer in his first full year on the job. His slightly goofy personality is perfect for a role where a short memory is critical to enduring success. That trait plus a new slider he has spent the offseason improving should make Motte a very tough beat, whenever he pitches.
The rest of the Cardinals’ bullpen is loaded with talent, but individual roles seem a bit less defined. This may very well be the way new manager Mike Matheny wants it. Lance Lynn or Fernando Salas are most likely to work the eighth inning. Lynn has a huge arm and seemed to find command late in the year. Salas is an interesting pitcher and a lot of fun to watch. It is a small leap to see him become a really slippery pitcher, throwing about 18 different pitches to become really effective, offsetting the fact that he doesn’t have one truly dominant pitch the way that Motte and Lynn do. From the left side, Marc Rzecpzynski and J.C. Romero should be a serviceable duo. Rzecpzynski has a lot of ability and showed what he could achieve when he put it all together late in the season. Welltravelled veteran J.C. Romero should play the role of lefty specialist and should find success in that role. Mitchell Boggs, Kyle McClellan and Eduardo Sanchez are likely vying for the two remaining spots in the bullpen. Matheny has claimed he will carry only 12 pitchers, but that could change given recent injury issues in the Cardinals’ rotation. Predictions Jason Motte: 30 saves, 3.00 ERA Lance Lynn: 3.00 ERA Mitchell Boggs: 3.50 ERA Marc Rzepczynski: 2.50 ERA J.C. Romero: 3.50 ERA Kyle McClellan: 3.50 ERA Fernando Salas: 4.00 ERA Eduardo Sanchez: 4.50 ERA
STARTING INFIELD The only thing hometown hero David Freese needs to do now is start backflipping onto the field on opening day. Well, that and stay healthy. Freese is a good talent who had an amazing post-season, and expectations will be ridiculously high for the Redbird third basemen. It would be an awful lot of fun to see just how good the Lafayette grad could be if he played in 140 games this year. Rafael Furcal at shortstop is a significant defensive upgrade from 2011 starter Ryan Theriot. But, just like with Freese, one must be concerned with Furcal’s durability. Furcal is a streaky hitter but a consistent catalyst, one who gets on base and is still enough of a threat to steal to keep opposing defenses on their toes. Lance Berkman should welcome the move from right field to first base. Berkman showed greatly increased athleticism last year after he shed some weight in the offseason and should be an above average defensive first baseman. It certainly does not seem realistic to believe that Berkman could relive his outstanding 2011 season, but that is what was said last year as well. As is standard for the St. Louis Cardinals, second base is the biggest question mark entering the season. It seems that transplanted outfielder Skip Schumaker has been relegated to a utility role, and that this position comes down to a battle between Daniel Descalso and Tyler Greene. Greene has been a frustrating player for the Cardinals and fans, but this may be a breakout season for the not-so-young prospect. Greene is the most athletic player anywhere

in the Cardinals’ system, and the quiet confidence of Mike Matheny may finally let Greene get the most of that ability. La Russa was an amazing manager, but by all accounts he was brutal on young players, and clearly that got into Greene’s head. The Cardinals will be a much better team if Greene can solidify this position and play up to his potential. As for Yadier Molina – he of the new $75 million contract extension – what can we really say? Molina may be the best defensive player of his generation, period. It is impossible to adequately describe the value that a catcher of Molina’s ability has on a pitching staff, coaching staff and an opposition’s game plan. Offensively, Molina had a breakout season last year, but one that will be difficult to duplicate. His presence on defense is so profound that he plays about 20 games per year more than he probably should, and that makes it very difficult to be a consistent offensive player. Predictions Lance Berkman (1B): .280; 25 HRs; 90 RBIs Tyler Greene (2B): .270; 10 HRs; 50 RBIs David Freese (3B): .280; 20 HRs; 70 RBIs Rafael Furcal (SS):
CARDINALS SALUTE 2012 .250; 5 HRs; 40 RBIs Yadier Molina (C): .275; 10 HRs; 65 RBIs STARTING OUTFIELD The buzz for this group centers on new acquisition Carlos Beltran and fan favorite Allen Craig, but the success or failure of the 2012 Cardinals’ outfield will be determined by the performance of Matt Holliday. Holliday had a solid season in 2011, marred by some freak injuries, but needs to have an exceptional 2012 season to fulfill his promise and his contract. Holliday’s history with the Cardinals has been as an effective protector for the number one hitter, but now Holliday must become the go-to-guy in this lineup, the one who can single-handedly carry the offense when needed. Beltran is an amazing professional hitter, but is prone to going on prolonged streaks, for better or worse. He has a fairly long swing, especially from the left side of the plate, and that type of swing dictates that a player’s timing has to be on point to be effective. It is easy to see Beltran having a big season this year in the cumulative, but it will be up to others to carry the team for the weeks where Beltran’s bat just won’t align with the ball. Jon Jay had a very respectable year fol-
lowing the trade of Colby Rasmus. That said, Jay is likely to end up in a bit of a platoon once Allen Craig returns from injury. Craig has shown the ability to be a professional hitter and a serviceable defender, and it should be a monster year for Craig once he gets healthy. Jay will be the opening day starter, but Craig will hit his into this lineup every day and force the Cardinals to move Beltran to center field. Predictions Matt Holliday (LF): .310; 25 HRs; 100 RBIs Jon Jay (CF): .280; 5 HRs; 40 RBIs Carlos Beltran (RF): .280; 25 HRs; 80 RBIs THE BENCH Undoubtedly, the Cardinals enter 2012 with a much younger bench than they have had in recent memory. They will rely on significant contributions from Descalso, Tony Cruz and Matt Carpenter. Schumaker will serve as the veteran leader challenged with teaching these younger players how to be prepared to play every day, even though they only get called on every four days. The Cardinals are a strong club in 2012, but as we saw last year the strength of bench players is critical to teams over a 162-game schedule. Schumaker should be
NEWSMAGAZINENETWORK.COM his normal singles-hitting machine. Descalso showed a surprisingly slick glove and will see plenty of action in the middle infield. Carpenter is necessary as a backup at the corner infield spots. Cruz is a versatile backup catcher with a decent glove and bat. Don’t be surprised to see Adron Chambers get called up as we predict that Matheny will place a greater premium on speed than La Russa did. Predictions Allen Craig (OF): .270; 15 HRs; 60 RBIs Skip Schumaker (OF): .300; 2 HRs; 35 RBIs Matt Carpenter: .250; 5 HRs; 25 RBIs Daniel Descalso: .280; 5 HRs; 35 RBIs Tony Cruz: .250; 5 HRs; 25 RBIs OVERALL PREDICTION This Cardinals team should be nearly as potent at the plate as the 2011 team was and feature better pitching. They are not going to run away with the division, but they are good enough to win 88 games, which should win them the National League Central. And come on, who knows what can happen in October?

CARDINALS SALUTE 2012
Matheny inherits a World Series championship team By WARREN MAYES It’s still new for him. “It’s strange, no gear – I need a bat or something,” quipped Mike Matheny, the new Cardinals’ skipper, who has a twoyear contract with a club option for a third season. Not really. Matheny fields his new job with the adroitness he did in his old one. The 41-year-old Matheny may be a rookie skipper but he knows the drill. He’ll work and work to maintain the St. Louis Cardinals’ status as one of baseball’s elite teams. “I’m going to be consistent. I’ve got a job to do and for me to get focused on trying to be somebody else, it’s a waste of all our time,” Matheny said. “I know what I need to do and my job. What I need to do is help these guys get better every day. “You can talk about pressure, you can talk about whatever you want and it can become a distraction to these guys if it’s continually jammed down their throat. Stick to philosophy, come here ready to compete, that stuff takes care of itself. If you want to sit and dwell on all these other issues, all these different ideals that you can conjure up, you’re going to be worthless. So, I’m not going that way.” However, it’s not like he’s going to reinvent the game either. Matheny realizes he is inheriting a championship team. He’s got plenty of pieces to work with. “It’s all about working hard,” Matheny said. “There’s not some new philosophy as far as that goes. We’re sticking to the mission and the vision of this organization. “We’re going to be efficient. It’s about the work ethic and the efficiency. I’m beating up a couple terms, ‘excellence’ and ‘respect.’ We go about our business that way, there’s going to be good things at the end.”

Matheny also has told players that Pujols’ departure in no way lessens expectations and it was OK to have a “chip on the shoulder” about it. “There (are) a lot of guys here with things to prove,” he said, “and jobs to earn.” Outfielder Lance Berkman said he thought the new regimen had the same feel as last year under La Russa. That goes for the new leader’s unquestioned authority. “Mike is great; he’s got a great presence,” Berkman said. “He’s well-qualified to be a big league manager, there’s no doubt about it, and I think he’s going to do a great job. He already has the respect of every guy in here.” Matheny plans to lead by example. He plans on being heavily involved with every aspect of the game. Matheny describes his style as a mix of CEO and micro-manager. Matheny has kept in contract with La Russa and reached out to him during spring traing.

Carpenter will take mound this year as team leader, staff ace By WARREN MAYES Former NL Cy Young Award winner Chris Carpenter was just 11-9 last year, but won 10 of his last 12 decisions after struggling with command the first two months or so. Then he was 4-0 in the postseason and beat the Rangers on short rest in Game 7 of the World Series. Lately, he’s been setting the tone in spring training. While Matheny said the opening day nod is not official, he added that it’s the plan. “The guy’s an animal,” Matheny said. “That’s the guy we want people following.” New pitching coach Derek Lilliquist will not overwork Carpenter this spring. He wants to have him ready for the long grind of the regular season. Carpenter, who turns 37 in April, will probably be eased into things coming off a heavy workload last season. “Obviously (there’s) a lot of excitement around this ballclub after everything that went on there at the end of the season,” Carpenter said. The Cardinals will be dramatically reshaped team in 2012. Slugger Albert Pujols left for the Angels, manager Tony La Russa retired and Matheny has taken over in the dugout. “There’s a little bit of sadness there with Tony and then obviously with Albert leaving,” Carpenter said. “That brought some
questions, but I’m excited about this team. I’m excited about the opportunity that we’re going to have. We have a bunch of good players. Losing Albert is a big thing, but that is the game. ... The things he brought to this team and the community were enormous. He should not be beat up for it.” Pitching coach Dave Duncan also took an extended leave of absence to deal with his wife’s illness, and Derek Lilliquist, the former bullpen coach, moved up to take his place. To replace Pujols’ bat, St. Louis acquired Carlos Beltran in free agency. “Guys are excited about this team and the changes,” Carpenter said. “We’re excited about Mike and Beltran. Lilly (Lilliquist) knows what’s going on. He’s been around Duncan for forever. He knows how to be successful. “Everything feels good,” Carpenter said, who began throwing in early January to get ready for 2012. “I’ve always said, you can’t control what happens.” Carpenter remains one of the club’s leaders and he embraces that position. “My role never changes. We all work together and try to control things we can control,” Carpenter said. “We’ve got so many quality guys in that clubhouse that it doesn’t matter. You’ve got myself. You’ve got Waino stepping up. I think Yadier (Molina) will have a huge presence in that clubhouse this year. You’ve got Matt (Holliday), Lance (Berkman) and Beltran. We’ve got all kinds of guys.”

Bu llet i n Boa rd Wentzville S.D. Lough to compete at Park University Indian runner Kara Lough has committed to compete for Park University in Parkville, Mo., next year. With her mother and father by her side, the cross country star signed her National Letter of Intent at Holt High School. This past season, Lough qualified to compete at the state meet and is now looking forward to competing at the collegiate level. “I really liked the size and feel of the campus,” Lough said. “I’m excited to go there.” Lough has a 3.3 GPA and has been named to the All-Academic team for the last three years. She plans to study elementary education.
All in a day’s work Elementary and middle school students in the Wentzville School District learned the ins and outs of business earlier this month. With the help of Junior Achievement and MasterCard volunteers, students participated in a program designed to facilitate a partnership between companies and local schools to educate and inspire students about what it takes to succeed in the workplace. More than 170 MasterCard volunteers spent the day in 88 classrooms at Heritage Intermediate, Discovery Ridge Elementary and Wentzville Middle School helping to instruct almost 2,000 students. Students experienced a day filled with hands-on learning concepts including work readiness, financial literacy and responsibility and entrepreneurship. “I really like learning about economics,
and being prepared for when I get older, and if I do run a business, how to run it and what to expect. I had a great time getting that experience, and seeing what the cycles are in business, and how to make it flow,” said fifth-grader Halie Ward. Teachers like Jessica Knapheide also see the educational value of the program. “I absolutely love it, because it’s very hands-on for the students. They really get to understand real-world concepts like money and economics,” Knapheide said. “The kids love it, because they get to write checks, role play, and see what it’s like to work in the real world.” The program offers business people the opportunity to share their experience and expertise with students. MasterCard volunteers like Senior Business Leader Glen McMillin said they get as much as they give. “First you get the experience of interacting with these kids, they have an incredible thirst for knowledge, and I’m amazed at the amount of knowledge that they’ve already absorbed. Volunteering is very important, we have an obligation to give back to the community, and MasterCard is committed to that, because this community is our home too,” McMillin said.
STEM competition Students from the Wentzville School District (WSD) competed in Missouri’s Tri-County Regional Science and Engineering Fair held at St. Charles Community College last month. This year there were more than 450 entries which included 130 by Wentzville students and 12 WSD classroom projects. At the end of the day, 37 Wentzville students and two WSD classrooms received awards, including 19 first- and secondplace awards.

Fort Zumwalt Music for all Michael Ferrante, a senior at Fort Zumwalt West High School, has been selected by Music for All to perform in one of the nation’s finest honor ensembles — the 2012 Jazz Band of America. Ferrante was selected from numerous applicants from across the nation for membership in this prestigious honor ensemble. Ferrante began studying the saxophone at the age of 12 and his love of music and playing ability has excelled since that time. Ferrante has been a member of his high school jazz band for four years. He earned the lead tenor saxophone chair in the Missouri All State Jazz Band for three consecutive years, and earned lead alto saxophone chair for the past two years. He also has earned superior ratings at the Missouri State Solo and Ensemble Festival throughout his high school career. The Jazz Band of America performed in concert on March 16 at Clowes Memorial Hall located on the campus of Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Hollenbeck will be formally honored at the CHARACTERplus Character Education Conference to be held June 25 through June 27. The award recognizes the level of excellence Hollenbeck has achieved in the Eleven Principles of Effective Character Education. These principles, the National Standard for Character Education, guide the process of creating a culture based on the community’s shared values. Character Education is intentionally integrated into Hollenbeck’s academic program to promote the school’s four core ethical values: respect, responsibility, honesty, and kindness. These values have been embedded into the daily practices of Hollenbeck’s Climate/Behavior group, BECK Team (Behavior Expectations & Character Knowledge), which has helped determine student expectations for each core value as it relates to specific areas. Hollenbeck received this honor for its work in demonstrating outstanding character education initiatives that result in positive results in school climate, student

Robotics challenge Seven Barnwell Middle School Robotics Teams recently participated in the 14th annual Robotics Challenge, a competition for high school and middle school students put on by the St. Charles Community College Workforce Development Department and General Motors. Students demonstrated their logical thinking, technical reading, problem solving, basic mechanical and computer programming skills as they designed and built working scale models of robots. In the challenge, student teams used Lego Mindstorms to build an automated racking system. Brian Steber, senior manufacturing engineer at the General Motors Wentzville Assembly Center, wrote the challenge for students based on a real-world application used at General Motors. Students assumed the roles of technician, engineer, and salesman and presented their robots to a panel of judges consisting of current and retired engineers. Similar to a real-life company bidding on a project, students had to provide a bid proposal form, time sheet and estimate worksheet. Teams presented their individual robot designs within two different divisions— the maroon division and the gray division. In the maroon division, the Barnwell Hollywood Legos placed third with a score of 218 points and the Barnwell Robotic Special Task Force (RSTF) placed second

Junior Olympian Corey Spruill, student at Francis Howell High School (FHHS), is one of 22 individuals selected for the 2012 USA Junior Olympic Shotgun Team. Spruill and his teammates will receive the support, assistance and coaching needed to advance through the ranks of competitive shotgun shooting. Spruill competed against 80 applicants and was selected for the team by National Shotgun coach Bret Erickson and the Junior Olympic Shotgun Team committee. The Junior Olympic program for USA shooting can often be the beginning of the Olympic journey for many shooters. Tasked with the responsibility to identify the brightest young talent in the sport, the Junior Olympic Shotgun Team is the gateway into the USA Shooting Team’s Olympic path. USA Shooting prepares American athletes to win Olympic and Paralympic medals, promote the shooting sports throughout the U.S., and govern the conduct of international shooting in the country. USA Shooting, a 501c3 non-profit corporation, was chartered by the United States Olympic Committee as the National Governing Body for the sport of shooting in April 1995.

Perkins Career and Technical Education Act, the Workforce Investment Act and federal student aid under the Higher Education Act. Luetkemeyer represents the 25 counties in the 9th Congressional District of Missouri, and is a member of the Community College Caucus. Pundmann has served on SCC’s Board of Trustees since 2006.

The following exercises can be completed in 30 minutes at home. Immediately stop any exercise with the dumbbells that causes you pain, especially in the shoulder or back. • Dumbbell rows – Lying face down on the excercise ball, with dumbbell in hand, straighten your arm. Then pull the dumbbell toward your upper chest, with your elbow leading. Complete two sets of eight repetitions before repeating on the other side. • Dumbbell squats – Place the exercise ball between the wall and the lower part of your back. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and keep your arms by your sides. With feet shoulderwidth apart, slowly squat like you’re about to sit in a chair, allowing your back to follow the roll of the ball. Stop when your thighs become parallel to the floor. Then push up to return to a standing position. • Dumbbell arm curls – Stand with your back straight, dumbbells hanging by your sides. With your palms facing up, curl both dumbbells simultaneously toward your shoulders. Then slowly lower the weight, rotating your palms so they’re facing each other at the bottom of the exercise. Complete two sets of eight repetitions before repeating on the other side.

By Amy Armour Students in the Wentzville School District now have the opportunity to check out more than books at the school library. The district purchased approximately 400 Android tablets for student use in the 15 school libraries in the district. The district purchased the tablets using a $500,000 anonymous donation that was earmarked for technology. “We decided on the tablets because we thought it would be the most cost effective way to deliver the technology into the hands of our students,” said Matt Diechmann, with the Wentzville School District. Director of Technology Richard Wilson said the tablets will be used as eReaders, as well as a tool in the classroom to discuss different books. “The tablets use a touch-screen and can function as an e-reader, but students can also connect to the internet through the district Wi-Fi network,” Wilson said. “They can also access the district intranet where they can have peer-to-peer interaction to talk about different books and authors.” Students — grades kindergarten through
high school — can checkout the Androids to be used in the classroom or the library. Students can checkout digital books online and download digital titles at home, as well as access all of the online resources of the St. Charles County Library system. Diechmann said the tablets will also help students learn additional ways to research topics on the Internet. “The Internet…is the primary resource now and in the future for students to research,” Diechmann said. “The tablets will provide further training on how to effectively research on the Internet.” Diechmann said both students and staff have enjoyed the new technology which was implemented in late February. “We hope that students will read more, and teachers are excited because (the tablets) will interface with the Smart Boards in the classroom,” Diechmann said. District Lead Librarian Mernie Maestas said the tablets are motivating students to read more. “One of the biggest things is that it’s adding motivation for students, they want to be a part of it,” Maestas said. The district is hoping the new technology will also improve reading scores. “Logically, any time you can get books into the hands of kids, and you increase motivation, you are going to improve reading skills, and ultimately, it will positively impact our reading test scores as well,” Maestas said. Bringing new technology to students is the long-term goal. “The end goal is to get as much cutting technology in the hands of our students as possible,” Diechmann said.
An extra day becomes Celebration Cruise day Residents at Lake St. Charles Retirement Community and Assisted Living took advantage of Feb. 29 by going on a “land-locked” cruise. The residents turned their facility into a mock cruise ship, full of all the extras and pampering you would expect on a real cruise ship. The LSC Celebration Cruise ship welcomed residents “aboard” with their itinerary delivered to each apartment early that morning. The day started with a lavish breakfast full of different types of quiche, tropical fruit, a juice fountain, flavored coffee, smoothie bar, and the staff decked out in Hawaiian clothing. Other events throughout the day at Lake St. Charles included a Happy Hour with special tropical cocktails, homemade frog legs, several different musical entertainment groups, a visit from the “King” Elvis Presley, a casino including seven gaming tables, and dancing. The Cruise Day concluded with a lavish dinner.

Holy Spirit, you who make me see everything and show me the way to reach my ideals. Give me the divine gift to forgive and forget them all who have done wrong to me. I, in short dialogue, want to thank you in everything and confirm once more that I never want to be separated from you no matter how great the material desires may be. I want to be with you and my beloved one in our perpetual glory. Thanks for favors. Pray this prayer for three consecutive days without asking for wish. After third day, wish will be granted no matter how difficult. Promise to publish this dialogue as soon as your favor has been granted. ND
