Summer Sizzlers at Mannino’s!
The tragedy of isolation In the 20th century, Western intellectuals’ two most dominant explanations of disparities in economic, educational and other achievements were innate racial differences in ability (in the early decades) and racial discrimination (in the later decades). In neither era were the intelligentsia receptive to other explanations. In each era, they were convinced that they had the answer – and dismissed and disparaged those who offered other answers. Differences in mental test scores among different racial and ethnic groups were taken as proof of genetic differences in innate mental ability during the progressive era in the early 20th century. Progressives regarded the fact that the average IQ test score among whites was higher than the average among blacks as conclusive proof of genetic determinism. A closer look at mental test data, however, shows that there were not only individual blacks with higher IQs than most whites, but also whole categories of whites who scored at or below the mental test scores of blacks. Among American soldiers given mental tests during the First World War, for example, white soldiers from Georgia, Arkansas, Kentucky and Mississippi scored lower on mental tests than black soldiers from Ohio, Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania. Among other groups of whites, those with average mental test scores no higher than the average mental test scores among blacks included those in various isolated mountain communities in the United States, those living in the Hebrides Islands off Scotland and those in isolated canal boat communities in Britain. Looking at achievements in general, people living in geographically isolated environments around the world have long lagged behind the progress of people with a wider cultural universe, regardless of the race of the people in these isolated places. When the Spaniards discovered the Canary Islands in the 15th century, they found people of a Caucasian race living at a stone age level. Many mountain communities around the world have also been isolated, especially during the centuries before modern transportation and communications. These mountain communities were often not only isolated from the outside world but also from each other, even when they
were not very far apart as the crow flies, but were separated by rugged mountain terrain. As distinguished French historian Fernand Braudel put it, “Mountain life persistently lagged behind the plain.” A pattern of poverty and backwardness could be found from the Appalachian Mountains in the United States to the Rif Mountains of Morocco, the Pindus Mountains of Greece and the mountains and uplands of Ceylon, Taiwan, Albania and Scotland. Cultural isolation due to geographic factors afflicts not only peoples isolated in mountains or on islands far from the nearest mainland, but also peoples isolated by deserts or in places isolated by a lack of navigable waterways – or even by a lack of animal transport, as was the situation in the Western Hemisphere when Europeans arrived and brought horses that were unknown to the indigenous peoples. Cultural isolation can also be due to government decisions, as when the governments of 15th century China and 17th century Japan deliberately isolated their peoples from the outside world. At that time, China was the leading nation in the world. But it lost that lead during centuries of isolation. Sometimes isolation is due to a culture that resists learning from other cultures. The Arab Middle East was once more advanced than Europe but, while Europe learned much from the Middle East, the Arab Middle East has not translated as many books from other languages into Arabic in a thousand years as Spain alone translates into Spanish annually. Against this background, racial and ethnic leaders around the world who promote a separate cultural “identity” are inflicting a handicap on their own people. Isolation has held back many peoples in many lands, for centuries. But such social and cultural isolation serves the interests of today’s ethnic leaders.

AUGUST 7, 2013 MID RIVERS NEWSMAGAZINE
EDITORIAL
With a new highway come changes The O’Fallon Fire Protection District needs to consider changes. The new Hwy. 364 soon to be traversing St. Charles County will make a line through Dardenne Prairie that will cause delays in the fire district’s response times. The fire district is hoping to find a way to cross the new highway before it’s built. But at what cost? The real question is: why didn’t the O’Fallon Fire Protection District consider the location of its No. 5 fire house prior to building it on South Outer 364? The Page Extension has only been in the planning stages for the past 30 years. Its route has been known for the past 20 years - before the fire house was built. Didn’t anyone inform the OFPD? Or did the OFPD Board of Directors simply not consider the location and consequences prior to its decision to building the fire house? We are thinking the latter. Now the stalemate begins. Better said, the stalemate began more than a year ago. MoDOT is not budging on providing a permanent means for traversing the new highway for the OFPD. That’s why the OFPD recently sought help from Dardenne Prairie and plan to ask for public outcry through a petition. But it shouldn’t.
The state, county and municipalities in our area have invested enough tax dollars into the extension of Page. Yes, the new highway has some families fuming as they will soon have traffic racing within earshot. But to pay for yet another overpass or crossover is much more than taxpayers need. And even more pertinent to the argument, MoDOT says an overpass or underpass for Fire House No. 5 would be unsafe because of nearby overpasses. Admittedly, there are safety concerns. The fire district makes a valid point when it explains how response times will increase. But what this seems to be boiling down to is money - something neither party seems to want to mention. So which is less expensive? An overpass or a new, better placed fire house? Tax dollars are tax dollars - they come from all our pockets. In this situation, we believe the OFPD might wish to consider a fire house better located and more accessible when the new Page Extension is opened. MoDOT is not perfect, but in this instance, fair warning was given. Instead of contacting the public with petitions, the OFPD may want to contact a builder.
ON THE LIGHTER SIDE
O’Fallon gets a little creepy There are times when city politicians get all blustery and worried about the little things. When they do, you find yourself enamored by the give and take. Fences have long caused political forays. Should a fence extend to a property line or should it stop a foot before the line? Can a resident build a fence in their front yard or only in their backyard? How far from the street should a fence be built? How tall? But in O’Fallon, the deliberation concerned a fence around the house believed to be the first house built in that city - the Krekel House. It’s not a large fence. It’s best described as a quaint white picket fence. Actually, it’s quite charming. Ah, but don’t let that little picket fence fool you. It’s dangerous. It’s an evil fence that can cause accidents as drivers pull out from Civic Park Drive to North Main Street. It blocks the view if a person doesn’t - and this is the part of the story we love the most - “creep” out to see if traffic is coming. As the city’s police chief explained, anyone working at City Hall - which is just across the street from the wicked picket fence has seen accidents at that corner. Oh, but the little fence “adds so much character to that corner,” exclaimed a council member. We at MRN agree. The
quaint little fence is adorable. We’d like one just like it. So should this adorable but dangerous fence be moved? Torn down, perhaps? Replaced with see-through vinyl? No! We should creep! Let’s all creep. And if we are to creep out into the intersection shouldn’t there be a sign to suggest - “Stop Here - then Creep”? Maybe an international sign should be installed showing a rather tacky looking fellow on his tiptoes, which would suggest creeping. Still, we should not make light of this situation as another city official said he “almost got creamed!” It’s good to know that the decision regarding the fence is: Drivers must stop at the stop line on Civic Park Drive, but can then “creep” into the crosswalk to check for oncoming traffic. There’s no word on signage at this point. That’s another discussion. And yes, MRN agrees that motorists should make every effort to be safe driving… and consider creeping out... into intersections, that is. FOLLOW US ON

Stanley Cup visits Rec-Plex
Man charged in burglary
Chicago Blackhawks forward Brandon Bollig brought the Stanley Cup — the NHL’s championship trophy — to the St. Peters Rec-Plex South building on July 31. The general public was able to view the Stanley Cup, and a limited number of tickets were available to view the Stanley Cup up close on the ice. The $5 tickets were sold as a benefit fundraiser for St. Louis Children’s Hospital. “What a wonderful way to share the Stanley Cup with the community,” said St. Peters Mayor Len Pagano. “Thank you to Brandon for providing this unique opportunity for local hockey fans.” Bollig, a Francis Howell North graduate, played for the St. Peters Spirit hockey organization at the Rec-Plex during his youth hockey days. He is the first St. Louis area native who played his youth hockey in the St. Louis area to ever play on an NHL championship team. As a member of the Blackhawks’ 2013 NHL championship team, Bollig got to spend a day with the Stanley Cup. In a unique move that provided access to the general public, Bollig requested that the city of St. Peters display the Stanley Cup on the ice at Rec-Plex South. Bollig also requested that the Stanley Cup appearance double as a fundraiser to
A 23-year-old St. Peters man has been charged in connection to recent burglaries. Benjamin Lillard, of the first block of Country Creek, was charged with first degree burglary, unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia and receiving stolen property. According to police, Lillard entered an unlocked home in the 900 block of Comstock on July 22 while the victim slept. A smartphone and cash were allegedly stolen from the kitchen table inside the residence. Several hours after officers took the burglary report, the victim contacted police stating the GPS app on the phone was showing a current location on Country Creek. Officers responded the address on Country Creek and found a phone from the Comstock Station burglary and a stolen firearm from a burglary on July 20. “The suspect did not know any of his victims. All of the houses we believe Mr. Lillard burglarized had open garage doors or unlocked back doors. It appears as though he was selecting homes based on that,” said Police Officer Melissa Doss. Lillard was found hiding in the attic of the residence and was taken into custody without incident. He is currently being held at St. Charles County Jail with a $50,000 bond.

Jeff Finkelstein. “We don’t want to use the courts to correct the problem if we don’t have to.” Beginning the week of Aug. 12, the St. Peters Police Department will mail notices to homes where police have found violations of city vehicle codes. The notice in the mail will warn the homeowner to remove or properly store the vehicle within seven days to avoid a ticket. Police will then check the home again to ensure that the violation was corrected.
DEFIANCE Fundraiser for Cardinal Glennon The Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation’s inaugural Glennon Gallop will be held on Aug. 24 at the Blue Heron Polo Club in Defiance. The event is part of a new fundraising initiative of the St. Louis Polo Club to support the Danis Pediatrics Center at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center. “This is a particularly exciting event because it’s the first of its kind for Cardinal Glennon,” said Shawn Hagan, president and chief executive officer of Fifth Third Bank in St. Louis. “It can be challenging to come
up with new activities and venues, but our partners at the Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation continue to find new ways to raise money and increase awareness. We like being part of this ‘first’ for the organization.” Guests are invited to wear white and khaki as they participate in the events of the day, including the A. Bommarito Wines Auction with delicious cuisine provided by Jack Mac’s Distinctive Taste and Bittersweet Artisan Truffles. The auction will include exotic wine excursions ranging from Santa Barbara to Tuscany and collectible cases of wine, along with a raffle to win a custom piece of jewelry from designer Victor Velyan. “We are excited to be part of the inaugural Glennon Gallop and to help support one of the community’s top hospitals,” said Tony Bommarito Sr. of A. Bommarito Wines. “We’re glad that many of our best wines will be represented at the event and to have helped plan the unique wine trips that will available at the auction.” Glennon Gallop is presented by Fifth Third Bank and sponsored by A.

with the River City Rascals to raise a total of $137,000. The funds will help feed and care for children in Guaymitas, a povertystricken mountain village in Honduras. “We are very grateful for the generosity of the many volunteers, sponsors and supporters of Just Because,” said Bob Wamhoff, president of Wamhoff Financial Planning & Accounting and co-founder of Just Because We Care. “For over 10 years, this support has enabled us to feed the children, who were in danger of dying from malnutrition when we first arrived. We began by feeding them just one day a week, and today, we feed them five days a week. They are no longer hungry, they are excelling in school, and achieving things we only dreamed of 10 years ago.” Since its inception a decade ago, the nonprofit has also built a vocational school, and six houses for the poorest families.
SSM recognized SSM Cancer Care medical oncology physician practices at SSM St. Joseph Hospital West and SSM St. Joseph Medical Park have been recognized by the Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI) certification program, an affiliate of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). QOPI certifies oncology practices that meet the highest quality standards for cancer care. “Not only are we thrilled to receive this national honor, but we are proud to announce that SSM Cancer Care physician practices are the first in St. Louis and just the second in Missouri to be QOPI certified,” said Gaspare Calvaruso, president of SSM St. Joseph Health Center and service line executive for SSM Cancer Care. “This certification underscores our commitment to excellence for our patients.” To become certified, SSM Cancer Care physician practices at St. Joseph Hospital West and St. Joseph Medical Park submitted an evaluation of their entire practice and documentation standards. The QOPI certification staff and steering group verified through on-site inspection that SSM Cancer Care practices met core standards in all areas of treatment, including: treatment planning, staff training and education, chemotherapy orders and drug preparation, patient consent and education, safe chemotherapy administration and monitoring and assessment of patient well-being.
ST. CHARLES COUNTY Extra measure of care The St. Charles County Sheriff’s Department has purchased a Care Trak telemetry tracking system to find lost individuals with special needs. The system allows deputies to track an individual wearing a wrist transmitter from 1 mile away on the ground and 5 miles from
the air. The wrist transmitters are waterproof and are programmed with a unique frequency for each individual. The frequency is programmed into the tracking system to help pinpoint an individual’s location. The St. Charles County Sheriff’s Department, in cooperation with the St. Charles County Department of Community Health and the Environment, launched the new program Aug. 5 to give families a little more peace of mind. The Sheriff’s Department paid $5,000 for the Care Trak system, which is the first in the St. Louis area on the Missouri side. “We are proud to bring this system to St. Charles County,” said Sheriff Tom Neer. “My wish for families and caregivers is that our deputies never have to use it, but we are ready if it is necessary. It is another tool the Sheriff’s Department has to help keep residents safe.” A one-time fee of $250 submitted with the application covers the cost of the program, wrist transmitter, and wrist transmitter battery check device. To qualify for the program, an individual must be a resident of St. Charles County; have a medical diagnosis that has or may cause wandering; a 24-hour caregiver; and no access to a vehicle if able to drive. Families and caregivers who want to participate in the program can contact the Department of Community Health and the Environment at 949-7400 to request an application.
School supplies drive St. Johns Bank will be collecting school supplies for the month of August as part of the annual Push for Pencils drive that benefits KidSmart. Each year approximately 90,000 students start school in the St. Louis area without the most basic school supplies. KidSmart tries to fill that gap by collecting basic school supplies. All five St. Johns Bank locations serve as drop-off points.
Road closure postponed The St. Charles County Highway Department will close Caulks Hill Road between Bluff Forest Lane and Greens Bottom Road beginning Aug. 12 to allow for continued construction of the new Caulks Hill Road improvements. The Caulks Hill Road project includes wider lanes and the addition of curbs, gutters and sidewalks. The horizontal and vertical alignment will also be improved to provide better sight distance for drivers. Traffic will be required to use the signed detour route for approximately five weeks while the new road section is built. Local traffic can access either side of the closure location, but no through traffic will be permitted. The county will use changeable message boards to notify residents of any date changes.

Donated Zoysia coming to Cottleville’s dog park
OK to ‘creep’ at O’Fallon’s North Main and Civic Park Drive intersection
By AMY ARMOUR Four-legged residents of Cottleville won’t have to get their paws dirty this fall at Chesterfield Fence Bark Park. The Cottleville Board of Aldermen recently approved a plan to renovate the turf at the city’s 1-acre dog park located in Legacy Park off Hwy. N. The renovations should be complete by the end of the summer. “Since its creation four years ago the city has struggled to get grass to grow and have had drainage problems,” said Scott Lewis, Cottleville’s city administrator. New owners of the Mid Rivers Golf Links have donated the zoysia turf from the fairways of the golf course for use in the dog park. The golf course is currently being redeveloped into a mixed-used development that will include single and multi-family residential, as well as commercial properties. The development will also include a golf training academy with a nine-hole executive course, driving range and putting greens. The turf is free, but the city will be responsible for paying about $19,000 for a company to cut the turf and lay it in the dog park. “The way the dog park was originally designed, it was more like a pig sty than a dog park when it rained,” said Mayor Jim Hennessey. “Now we will not only have grass, but it will be zoysia. If the sod can handle golf carts, it should be able to handle our dogs.” In addition to the new turf, the city recently added $1,100 of concrete in the heavy traffic areas of the large dog section of the park. Re-grading and prep work will begin in the next few weeks. The city will also pay Automatic Rain $5,000 to install an irrigation system to water the newly donated grass. Despite muddy conditions, Lewis said the park has been very popular since it opened. “The few times we put a sign up that it’s closed, we received tons of calls complaining,” Lewis said.

By MARY ANN O’TOOLE HOLLEY Councilman Bill Gardner said the issue of A note of caution from the O’Fallon City Council: Creep first and be careful merging moving the fence in should be taken off the into traffic at North Main Street and Civic Park board entirely. “It ruins the appearance. Leave the fence where Drive, just west of City Hall. Doing so will save the beauty of the Krekel it is,” Gardner said. “It adds so much character to House property, one of O’Fallon’s greatest pieces of that corner. It should be left alone. That’s not the history purchased by the city in 2007. The home is only corner in the city where you have to creep believed to be the first home built in the city in 1856 forward (to see oncoming traffic).” He said one example is at Piper’s Glen and by German immigrant Nicholas Krekel.

Councilman John Haman cited the city ordito move the fence to a 25-foot setback. A spirited debate took place among the Council nance that states no setbacks less than 25 feet, weighing the pros and cons of moving the fence, but Pepper countered, recalling words of City but in the end it was decided to leave it be.

“Doctor Publicly Announces Disgust and Concerns…” And does something about it for the county of St.Charles…
Dear friend,
responds by healing itself. We get tremendous results. It’s as simple as that! My job is to work with the body, teach you how to be healthy and to do my best to help you get there. And, something else. Besides getting on this soapbox, I’m going to do something about it…
In my profession, it’s considered ‘politically incorrect’ to speak out against the status quo. But, the time for remaining silent is over. It’s time to tell the truth. I want to give you some staggering statistics. Let’s start with this one. Fourteen percent of our gross national product goes to health care, yet according to the World Health Organization, we rank twentyninth in the list of healthy nations. That tells me something is very wrong. There’s more than one thing to blame for this. The heads of several HMO’s make tens of millions of dollars per year while 46 million Americans can’t afford health insurance.Here’s something else. On July 26, 2000,the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that, according to Johns Hopkins, medication errors are the third leading cause of death in the U.S. Are you paying too much for health care, and not getting the results you want? Then listen to this… A few years back, a researcher studied the records of 395,641 patients. What he found was absolutely shocking. The claims were divided into people that used chiropractic care, and people that used only medicine. The ones that used chiropractic had “significantly lower health care costs, saving an average of $1,000 each over the two-year period.” Am I disgusted? You bet I am. And maybe you should be, too. Since I’m on “a soapbox” now, let me tell you a bit about me, before I go on. Years ago, I was just another athletic teenage boy playing with his friends in upstate New York, until I developed a series of “ear and sinus infections.” In my case it came on little by little. The pain in my sinuses, ears, nose and chest was so intense that there were times when I couldn’t breathe well enough to keep up with others (by the way, that’s me running a half Ironman last year). Sometimes my sinuses felt so swollen that my vision would blur and I would get awful headaches and earaches. I was afraid that I’d lose my friendshipsand my self confidence in my body if this disability continued. After a lot of medications and multiple surgeries, I decided there had to be another option. But, there’s more… My uncle convinced me to give a chiropractora try. The chiropractor did an exam, took some films, and then “adjusted” my spine. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. I got relief, and I could begin breathing normally again. It worked so well that I went to chiropractic school myself. Paid Advertisement
It’s strange how life is because now people come to see me with their sinus problems. Also, they come to me with their headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder or arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, backaches, ear infections, asthma, allergies, numbness in limbs and athletic injuries, just to name a few. Here’s what some of my patients had to say: “I had headaches for years. I was sent to every specialist and did all the tests. Then, I saw Dr. Hamed. Now, I have no more headaches.” (Christie D., nurse.St.Charles) “I was the official “doubting Thomas” about chiropractic!” (Carol K.-St.Peters) “2 years ago I was a mess! I am so glad I believed in Dr. Jay. Thank you for all your advice, help, care and friendship.” (Diane P., teacher-Ofallon) Being a chiropractor can be tough, because there’s a host of so-called experts out there.They tell people a lot of things that are just plain ridiculous about my profession. It’s time we, as a nation, got to the core of the problem. How long can we go on just covering up symptoms with drugs and not stressing preventative care? The system isn’t working well, and it’s time people opened their eyes to a different point of view. Look, I’m not a miracle worker, and I’ve never claimed to be. But, here’s something else you should know. A Virginia study showed that well over 95% of chiropractic patients were satisfied with their care. That’s just incredible. Despite what you think however, I’ve never healed anyone of anything. What I do is perform a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure and help balance the body, and the body
How You Can Benefit if You Act Now- Look, it shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg to correct your health. You are going to write a check to someone for your health care expenses, you may as well write one for a lesser amount for chiropractic. When you respond to this offer you’ll receive my entire new patient exam for just $37. That’s with x-rays, paraspinal thermal ima-ging….the whole ball of wax. This exam could cost you $350 elsewhere. But, please call right away because this terrific offer will expire promptly on August 30th, 2013. And, further care is very affordable, and you’ll be happy to know that I have affordable family plans. Great care at a great fee…Please, I hope that there’s no misunder-standing about quality of care just because I have a lower exam fee. You’ll get great care at a great fee. My qualifications…I’m a graduate of both Skidmore College and Logan College who has published articles in leading international journals. I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to pro athletes that you may know, and I have even traveled to the Dominican Republic to serve those people in need of care. After practicing in Tulsa for three years, I moved my practice to Ofallon. I just have that low fee to help more people who need care. My assistant is Nicole, and she is a really great person. Our office is both friendly and warm, and we try our best to make you feel at home. We have a wonderful service at an exceptional fee. Our office is called THE CHIROPRACTIC WELLNESS CONNECTION, and it is at 111 Ofallon Commons Drive (we are a block from Hwy K & N intersection). Our phone number is 636-978-0970. Call Nicole or me today for an appointment. We can help you. Thank you, Jason Hamed, D.C. P.S. When accompanied by the first, I am also offering the second family member this same examination for only $17. P.P.S. Can you imagine not having to wait at a doctor’s office? Well, your time is as valuable as mine is. That’s why we have a no-wait policy. You will be seen within minutes of your appointment.

O’Fallon Fire District seeks help in gaining access across Page Extension By SUE E. STEINIGER Representatives from the O’Fallon Fire Protection District (OFPD) appealed to the city of Dardenne Prairie for help in gaining access that would allow fire trucks to cross the Page Avenue Extension between old Hwy. N and South Outer 364. The current crossover roads are being eliminated per the MoDOT Page Extension construction plan. But the crossovers are critical factors in the response time for the fire department according to OFPD representatives. During the July 17 Dardenne Prairie Board of Aldermen meeting, Bill Laughlin, chairman of the board of directors for the OFPD and Matt Simmons, vice-chairman of the board of the OFPD addressed the DP board. Laughlin told the board that the OFPD’s fire station No. 5 is on South Outer 364. “We are going to be, sooner or later, cut off from all those people on the other side of Page,” he said. “Our concern is with the safety of the citizens of our fire protection district.” Laughlin said that during the past two months the fire district has been in discussion with MoDOT in an attempt to find a faster way to get to Hwy. N without having to go through Bryan Road or Hwy. K. “It’s
going to increase our response time tremendously. We pretty much have gotten nowhere with our efforts,” Laughlin said. Laughlin added that the fire district had completed a study on response times, and gave the board a quick overview. “To reach the Bates Village which is in O’Fallon, current response time is one minute and 16 seconds,” he said. “After expansion it’s going to be three minutes and 31 seconds; Longview Estates right now is 43 seconds; after the expansion it will be four minutes and 12 seconds. It takes 21 seconds to the Lewis and Clark entrance; after expansion it will be four minutes and 10 seconds; Canvas Cove now takes one minute and nine seconds, but will be three minutes and 29 seconds after expansion. So as you can see we have a tremendous increase in our response time.” The study also shows that the response time of less than 30 seconds from the fire station to the neighborhood across the street now becomes up to four minutes. The increase is because emergency vehicles have to go to Bryan Road and go around, or they have to go to Hwy. K and go around, Laughlin said. Dardenne Prairie Mayor Pam Fogarty and the board members told Laughlin that
they had been considering this issue for some time and had an alternative plan for a crossover reinforced-turf road that the fire trucks could use that might work. It is a road that would be dedicated to emergency vehicles and that would not be noticed by the general public. “When they (OFPD) have an emergency across the way, they can transverse it that way,” Fogarty said. “So I’m thinking this could be a fix for the situation.” There was also discussion by the board that MoDOT would not be able to accept this concept because of the dangers presented by a fire truck pulling out into Page with oncoming traffic traveling about 60 mph and that it would create more problems than it would solve. Fogarty said she would be meeting with Mike Castro, MoDOT head engineer and head supervisor of the Page Extension project. She said she would present the idea and ask if this was a possibility or not. Meanwhile, the OFPD will be setting up a committee to get a petition going. “We are going to canvas the area and try and get signatures for some type of help,” Laughlin said. “The more people that make noise, the better chance we have of getting something. We know it’s far along in the
process but it’s never too late as far as I’m concerned.” Linda Wilson-Horn, MoDOT community relations coordinator, said the Page Extension plan was decided 20 years ago and all cities, as well as the fire districts, have known its route. She says the fire district knew of it when ok built fire station 5 on South Outer Road 364 some years ago. Wilson-Horn said MoDOT does not have the space to build an overpass or underpass for the Page Extension between Hwy. K and Brian Road and that any plan to cross over Page is not a safe option. She says MoDOT has looked for options, but at this time there are none. “We have been communicating with OFPD to keep them informed,” WilsonHorn said. “The fire district and ambulance district need to figure out how they are going to handle their emergency responses. They will have an improved Hwy. K and Hwy. N to traverse. In addition, we expect cars to be traveling on Page and that there will be less traffic on the local roads. “At this time all four crossings are closed except where Hwy. N meets South Outer 364. It will close Nov. 1. The fire station 5 crossing will remain open as long as possible - a month to six weeks.”

Buses running on propane make positive economic impact By AMY ARMOUR As the first Missouri school district to add propane buses to its fleet, the Fort Zumwalt School District was featured on the July cover of School Transportation News. “It’s an honor to be recognized as a leader in green transportation technology. We’re doing our part for our students, our community and for the environment,” said Laura Wagner, assistant to superintendent-PR/Media. Eight propane-fueled buses transported students on regular routes for the district last school year. The district will add another 22 propane-fueled buses to the fleet when school starts on Aug. 14. With 18 percent of the fleet running on alternative fuel, drivers, mechanics and fuel technicians all have been through training on the new equipment. The district currently has 198 drivers and monitors, including substitutes. In addition to the 30 propane-fueled buses, the district has 138 diesel buses in its fleet. “Only those drivers who bid on the appropriate routes or who will be driving the appropriate routes were trained on the propane buses,” said Wagner. Wagner said there are many benefits to using propane-fueled buses including qui-
eter engines and cleaner burning fuel. According to the district, propane buses cut 60 percent of the carbon monoxide, 12 percent of the carbon dioxide, 20 percent of the nitrogen oxide and as much as 25 percent of the greenhouse gases their gasoline-powered predecessors used. Lower fuel costs will also save the district about $3,000 per propane bus annually, according to Chief Financial Officer Jeff Orr. The district saved an estimated $24,000 for the eight propane buses in operation last year. Propane buses get about four miles per gallon and diesel gets about six miles per gallon, but the cost difference in fuel is significant. Last school year, diesel fuel averaged about $3.34 per gallon while propane fuel averaged $1.35 per gallon. “The district receives a 50-cent tax credit per (propane) gallon, making the effective cost 85 cents per gallon,” Orr said. For the 2013-14 school year, Orr estimates the district will save about $90,000 in fuel costs. The district plans to add even more propane buses to its fleet in the future. By 2018, the district hopes to have between 100 to 125 propane-fueled buses in service.
City of Cottleville to reconstruct, widen trail in Legacy Park By AMY ARMOUR Construction has started on the next phase of the Dardenne Greenway in Cottleville. By this fall, runners and bikers will be able to travel by trail from Legacy Park in Cottleville to the Woodlands Park in St. Peters. Cottleville City Administrator Scott Lewis said the new segment will reconstruct and widen an existing trail in Legacy Park from the Dardenne Creek Bridge along Vantage and Harmony Lakes. The trail will then cross Cottleville Parkway onto the campus of St. Charles Community College along Mid Rivers Mall Drive and Ohmes Road and connect to the trail built near Woodlands Sports Park in St. Peters. “The extension would provide a connection between 2 miles of existing trails in Cottleville’s Legacy and Vantage Parks and 1.3 miles of main trail in St. Peters’ Woodlands Sports Park and Rabbit Run parks,” said Danni Eickenhorst, communications manager for Great Rivers Greenway. The new trail will also feature some additional amenities.
“The renovated trail in Legacy Park will have a new bridge constructed over the spillway and new fishing access at Vantage Lake and a pavilion and fishing dock will be constructed on Harmony Lake,” Lewis said. “Portions of the trail behind Vantage and Harmony Lake will be closed during construction.” Construction of the greenway is covered by Great Rivers Greenway, and upkeep of the trails is taken care of by each individual city. Eventually the Dardenne Greenway will connect to numerous parks, neighborhoods and communities along the Dardenne Creek, including: St. Peters, O’Fallon, Cottleville and Dardenne Prairie. “The extended trail connects Cottleville to St. Peters near the Woodlands Park, provides improvements to Vantage and Harmony lakes, and gets us one step closer to our goal of allowing all of our residents the ability to get to City Hall/Old Town via our trails,” said Cottleville Mayor Jim Hennessey. A 2011 trail count study on Rabbit Run to Woodlands Sports Park Trail estimated 50,181 annual users.

Annual golf tournament set to help O’Fallon youth, family By AMY ARMOUR A golf tournament later this month will benefit an 8-year-old O’Fallon boy fighting an inoperable brain tumor. The seventh annual Chance Cole Golf Benefit and Auction will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Sat., Aug. 24, at the Links at Dardenne in O’Fallon. All proceeds from the event will help offset medical costs for Chance Cole, a third-grader at Pheasant Point Elementary School. Chance Cole was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor known as an optic pathway glioma on the chiasm at the age of 2. Following the diagnosis in 2007, Chance endured two different chemotherapy protocols at St. Louis Children’s Hospital during a period of 18 months. “During this time, he unfortunately became legally blind, meaning he still has minimal vision, and his tumor continued growing,” said Lisa Cole, his mother. In 2009, the family traveled to Houston, Texas, for proton beam radiation. Chance endured six consecutive weeks of radiation, and the tumor was stable based on three-month follow-up MRIs. In June 2011, Chance suffered a stroke on the left side of his brain. “It was discovered that Chance now has Moyamoya, a progressive narrowing of the arteries in the brain,” said Lisa. “Chance underwent surgery in late June 2011 to the left side of his brain and again in July 2012 to the right side of his brain.” Both surgeries were performed at St. Louis Children’s Hospital in hopes of opening and creating new blood flow in the brain in order to prevent further strokes. “A few months ago, we learned after Chance’s follow-up yearly angiogram, that Chance’s Moyamoya is causing more arterial occlusion in his brain,” said Lisa. “Although we are devastated by the news, Chance is currently symptom free so we are watching and waiting for now. Of course, we are happy and blessed that his brain tumor has remained stable (not active) since his proton beam radiation in 2009.” Fighting to keep Chance’s tumor stable has created many bills that are not covered by insurance. “The Chance Cole Fund was created in 2007 by my best friend, Deanne Thompson, to help alleviate the costs of anything insurance did not cover, flights to MD Anderson in Houston, Texas, second and third opinions regarding treatment, etc. and it covered our six weeks of expenses during radiation in 2009,” said Lisa. “If it wasn’t for my girlfriend’s brilliant idea, hard work, and thoughtfulness of others,

our family would be bankrupt.” Lisa and her husband, Chad, both work full time, and the parents have missed many days of work for doctors’ appointments, hospital stays, chemo sickness, surgery recovery and treatment. “Although we would do anything for Chance, the Chance Cole Fund has truly alleviated some of the financial pressure of having a chronically ill child,” said Lisa. The annual golf tournament and auction will help raise money for the Chance Cole Fund. The four-person scramble is $125 per person and includes 18 holes of gold, lunch, dinner, drinks and the auction. For dinner only, the cost is $35 per person. Sponsorships of varying costs are still available. “We are in need of and we would be sincerely appreciative of any type of donation to the Chance Cole Fund — golf teams, hole sponsorships, or anything for the silent auction – gift basket, gift card, services,” said Lisa. And Lisa believes in giving back. “We are truly blessed by this fund so that is why we have Chance make yearly contributions with his funds to the causes that have helped and are helping him – Friends of Kids with Cancer, Delta Gamma for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Salvation Army Shelter in O’Fallon and the O’Fallon YMCA,” said Lisa. Donations can be made to the Chance Cole Fund in care of Schultz & Associates LLP, 640 Cepi Dr., #A, Chesterfield, MO 63005. For more information, call 314565-7717.

Kacey Tatum, a junior at Francis Howell North High School, attended the Ohio Business Week (OBW) Camp at Ohio Dominican University on June 23 through June 29. While at the camp, Tatum received a first place award in financial planning and multiple third place awards in business planning, print advertisements and websites, as well as in marketing planning. During the training students had the opportunity to work with sponsors and various companies to obtain a hands-on experience for business and entrepreneurship. Tatum was able to learn from professionals and helped to develop ideas for establishing and running a mock company. During the camp Tatum was assigned to a team, Company B. Each team member formed multiple parts and took on key roles such as: Chief Executive Officer, Marketing Executive, and Vice President of Sales. After determining their roles within the company, the team developed a product, commercial, marketing material and financial components. The team was responsible for determining the target market and figuring out how to expose their product within their target group. Tatum and her team attended company meetings, consultations and multiple workshops based on influencing others and busi-

Students score perfect ACT Francis Howell North High School students Matthew Bries and Matthew Schneider along with Francis Howell High School students Eric Lee and Shelby Meyer earned a top composite score of 36 on a recent ACT test. The ACT is an entrance exam that is accepted by most colleges and universities to make admission decisions. The ACT consists of four tests in English, reading, mathematics, and science, as well as an optional 30-minute writing test which averages into the English score. Each test is scored on a scale of 1-36, and a student’s composite score is the average of the four test scores. Nationally less than one-tenth of one percent of students who take the ACT earns a top score.

help them reach their ultimate goals. “I believe STEM benefits students by exposing kids at an early age to various aspects of technology and gives them a chance to explore something that they might be interested in for the future,” said Corbitt. Part of STEM camp was building robots. To begin the building phase of the robots, students were divided into small groups, which gave students the chance to learn to solve problems with other people. Also, this develops each individual’s communication skills and shows that having team and communications skills are just as important as knowing how to program or build a robot. After breaking into groups, students began by constructing their robot, and once built some students spent their time programming the robot to move according to rotations or time and collected small blocks called “energy cubes.” After the robots were programmed, students hit play and stepped back to watch for a hopeful outcome. Students would attempt over 100 runs to try to perfect the movements of the robots. “This gives the chance for students to learn through their failures and develop the motivation to stick with something even after multiple failures,” said Corbitt. Additionally, students programmed their robots to talk and say “hello” when the play button was selected. Others would utilize the robots’ sensor to program it to choose between a red and blue ball; once programmed the robot would then “golf” away the red ball. Allowing students to choose from vari-

STEM camps Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) camps were back for the second year in the Francis Howell School District. The STEM program used development activities to enhance and further develop academic, personal and intrapersonal skills for students seeking careers in STEM fields. Several FHSD teachers were involved in the STEM curriculum, including Adam Corbitt, fifth-grade teacher at Warren Elementary and STEM camp teacher. Corbitt strived to keep his students motivated through hands-on learning activities to

ous programming activities gave them the chance to explore their own particular interests within the program. Some discovered that they enjoyed building the robot, while others found their main interest to be in programming the actions of the robot. “STEM camp is a great chance for kids to have an early exposure to engineering and learn about an interest that they may never have discovered otherwise,” said John Gains, Francis Howell Central High School senior and STEM camp volunteer. While at STEM, students also participated in a catapult activity that mimicked the popular game Angry Birds. Students built catapults with rubber bands and Popsicle sticks, but were not given any instructions on how to build the catapults. Students were forced to use their critical thinking skills to develop their own ways to make the catapults work. During this activity students were exposed to the idea that technology does not need electronics to function properly and can be developed in multiple ways. FHSD STEM camps have more than doubled its size in the past year, increasing from 150 students to 360 students. The increase in numbers has changed the dynamic of the camps completely within a year and has made the camps grow along with the students, with the hopes of expanding the camp even further in future years.
Fire at Bryan Middle School Roofing materials caught fire at Bryan Middle School on July 25. No one was injured. The entire building was evacuated and the Cottleville Fire Department and district maintenance personnel were notified. The fire was contained to a small portion of the building and two classroom rooms sustained minor water damage. The Cottleville Fire Department is working to determine the cause of the fire. School officials said the fire will not impact the first day of school.
WENTZVILLE STARS summer program Timberland High School senior Ellen Gruebbeling graduated with 87 other St. Louis area high school students from the 2013 Students and Teachers as Research Scientists (STARS) program at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. The annual six-week summer program pairs academically talented high school juniors and seniors with top research mentors from Saint Louis University, Washington University and UMSL. Experts take on student apprentices in laboratories and direct them in research projects. Students also attended lectures by nationally known scientists from the St. Louis science community, learning information concerning the
higher education admission process. In addition, students enjoyed social events such as bowling, an ice cream social, the St. Louis Symphony and a St. Louis Cardinals game. Gruebbeling worked with Dr. Dmitri Nusinow from the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, and her research paper was titled “Testing the conservation of circadian clock genes in Arabidopsis thaliana and Setaria viridis.” For many of the participants, working in labs with top scientists is the most important event in their decision to pursue a career in science. STARS is funded partially through LMI Aerospace/D3 Technologies, the Office of the Chancellor at UMSL, Saint Louis University, Washington University in St. Louis, Green Foundation and Solae.

Spor t s Nowack prepared to carry on tradition of success for Fort Zumwalt West football By JONATHAN DUNCAN Back on March 18, the Fort Zumwalt School Board approved the hiring of Neil Nowack as the next football coach at Fort Zumwalt West. Nowack replaces longtime coach Paul Day, who coached at Zumwalt West 15 years before heading to Vianney at the end of last year to take the head coaching job there. For Nowack, the past three-plus months have been busy with details, administration, and planning - but exciting nonetheless. “I am really excited about the opportunity here,” Nowack said. “Being here the last nine years, this is the only place I’ve been as a coach and while I didn’t necessarily expect this opportunity at this point, it’s an exciting time.” During that near-decade stretch on the Jaguars staff, Nowack, who teaches physical education at West, has worked on the offensive side of the ball as an offensive coordinator or co-offensive coordinator. Nowack knew as early as his days in high school of playing for Day at Owensville in the late 1990s that he wanted to be involved in coaching after football in high school and college. Coach Day has played a major role in Nowack‘s development and success as a coach. After graduating Owensville in 1998, Nowack played college football at Pittsburg (Kan.) State, and then upon graduation, man-
aged to hook on with Day as a coach at West. “I lost my father when I was between my junior and senior years of high school and coach Day was like a father to me,” Nowack said. “We kept in touch while I was in college and was fortunate enough that when I got out of college to get a job in the district and get on his staff. He has had a tremendous impact on my life and career.” Day is definitely glad that Nowack has the chance to lead the Jaguars. “I think he is going to do an outstanding job for them,” Day said. “When he came to us out of college, it was a no-brainer to hire him. He is an outstanding football coach that is very smart, organized, and he relates very well to the players.” During Day’s tenure at Zumwalt West, the Jaguars won seven conference championships and sent top players such as T.J. Moe (Mizzou), Carl Gettis (Mizzou), and Drew Hare (Northern Ill.) onto successful college careers. Nowack, running the offense then, had a big hand in helping develop those players. “T.J. Moe was a receiver before his senior year and Neil helped him make the transition to quarterback and T.J. did a terrific job with him getting him acclimated there,” Day said. “He helped Drew Hare have a couple of record-setting seasons when Drew played quarterback.” If there is one major change that Nowack is still trying to find the proper balance with in his new position, it’s being able to work out the daily details such as non-football related details off the field. The off the field considerations have
been the most time consuming. “Being a head coach, you have a lot of non-football considerations you have to worry about in terms of keeping the program in order. That has been the biggest adjustment the past few months,” Nowack said. Nowack will have some stability with his coaching staff as half of the eight-person staff is back for this season with four new coaches including new defensive coordinator Rod Murchison. Murchison takes over from Ray Meyers, who left to go work with coach Day as a defensive coach. “Our defense was a big concern when we had the coaching changes, because we were not sure who was going to run it,” Nowack said. “But coach Murchison had worked with us before and he has stepped in and done a wonderful job getting the kids ready.” As far as program changes go, Nowack is not looking to make any major shifts in how things are done. “The biggest thing we have done is make the kids understand that the expectations are going to be the same,” Nowack said. “Coach Day laid out a great program for us to follow and we don’t plan to change much of anything.” Fort Zumwalt West went 5-5 last season before getting beat by Jefferson City in the first round of the Class 6 district playoffs. “Our main focus right now is to try to get better with every single practice,” Nowack said. “Work hard and put in the effort to succeed.” •••
O’Fallon Renegades Football to expand facility in Dames Park By MARY ANN O’TOOLE HOLLEY The O’Fallon Renegades Football league has bartered with the city of O’Fallon to
expand a storage facility in Dames Park in exchange for free rent as long as they use the facility. Cindy Springer, director of O’Fallon Parks and Recreation, addressed the City Council recently, saying that although plans for expansion of the facility have been in the works for more than a year, the team finally feels they are close to funding the expansion and would like to move forward. “They will build the expansion with the same material as the existing facility,” Springer said. “They have spoken with the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board who agreed that the expansion was beneficial to both the team and the city.” Under the agreement, the city will continue to own the building if the team should disband, but as long as the football league is operating, team equipment may be stored in the building. “The issue had gone through Planning and Zoning about a year ago,” Springer said, “but that time has expired so they will have to submit their request again.” Springer said the team may be ready to begin bidding for the project and moving forward in the fall. “I feel like they should have free rent as long as they are using the building,” said Councilman Michael Snowden. “I feel like they’re building it and paying for it.” Councilman John Haman said his own children played in O’Fallon Renegade Football leagues and he believes it is very beneficial for the city and those residents whose children enjoy and benefit from the sport. “It’s keeping kids active, they’re getting exercise and it’s great team building,” Haman said. “It’s expensive to play, so any way we can save the team money, I’d say give them an extension as long as we can keep these kids playing sports.”

Ready, set, remodel Home remodeling is an exciting undertaking, but it also can be a stressful process. To set the stage for a satisfying remodeling experience, the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) advises homeowners to precede their home improvement projects by doing some valuable preparation before any work gets underway. According to NARI, the following are among the most important steps a homeowner should take before breaking ground on a remodeling project: • Research the project. Take time to research similar projects online to get a sense of price, scope of work required, return on investment and new options for products and materials. The NARI website (nari.org) offers some helpful information. It is a good idea also to research property values in your neighborhood to determine whether the project is in line with nearby homes. • Plan the project around the long-term. Take into consideration how long you plan to remain in your home and how your family structure might change over time. The idea is to plan the project so it will continue to fit your lifestyle needs long after the work is complete. • Set a budget. Determining a realistic budget and arranging finances to support the project are essential steps. Make sure the number includes labor, materials, contingencies, etc., and share the number with those who are doing the work. • Use “advanced search” for professionals. Gather information about potential remodelers online. Ask friends, family and neighbors for referrals, and research those you are considering on the Internet.
• Ask the right questions. In addition to cost and how long the project will take, ask the remodeler about his experience, specialties, etc. Ask for an explanation of how the remodeling process will work. • Verify your remodeler. Ask for references and insurance information. It is OK also to request a visit to an active client’s jobsite. • Review contracts word-by-word. A remodeling contract protects the homeowner and the remodeler, so if there are terms you do not understand, ask the remodeler to explain them. Pay attention to details about change orders, payment, additional fees, the timeline and responsibilities. • Keep design in mind. Think about what you dislike about the current space and about the intended use of the space once it has been remodeled. Use websites such as pinterest.com and houzz.com for design ideas. Articulate specifically what you like about the design when sharing it with the designer. • Make selections. Base product and materials decisions on quality, function, price, style and availability. Include selections in the contract to lock down pricing. • Create a communication plan. Have a plan that clarifies the roles of everyone involved, communication methods and the expected frequency of communication. Taking these steps before remodeling will pay big dividends in the long run. “The planning and researching phases of a project are the most critical steps in the remodeling process,” NARI National President Art Donnelly said. “The more knowledgeable and prepared a homeowner is, the more they protect themselves.”

Adding healthy years People are not only living longer than they used to, they are becoming increasingly healthy during those “extra” years. “With the exception of the year or two just before death, people are healthier than they used to be,” said David Cutler, Otto Eckstein Professor of Applied Economics. “Effectively, the period of time in which we’re in poor health is being compressed until just before the end of life. So where we used to see people who are very, very sick for the final six or seven years of their life, that’s now far less common. People are living to older ages, and we are adding healthy years, not debilitated ones.” Cutler reached that conclusion by conducting a study using data from nearly 90,000 people gathered from 1991-2009. He used an unconventional approach for his research. “Most of our surveys measure health at different ages and then use a model to estimate how long people have to live,” Cutler said. “But the right way to do this is to measure health backwards from death, not forwards. We should start when someone dies, then go back a year and measure their health, then go back two years, three years, and so on.” Participants in Cutler’s study were people who responded to the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBC), which allowed him to measure health “backwards from death.” By linking survey responses to participants’ Medicare records for the rest of their lives, he and his fellow researchers were able to calculate – in some cases to the day – exactly how far participants were from death when they answered the survey. By comparing that data with survey responses on how well people were able to care for themselves (cook, clean, bathe themselves, dress themselves, walk, manage money) Cutler was able to determine how healthy people were relative to how close or far away they were from dying. Going forward, Cutler hopes to unravel the reasons why some conditions are today
less debilitating than in the past. Part of the change, he said, will certainly be chalked up to increased access and improvements to care, but there are a host of other factors that make answering the question “very, very difficult.” Beware of online Alzheimer’s tests A report presented last month at the 2013 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference revealed that many online tests for Alzheimer’s disease are unreliable and unethical. A panel of geriatricians, human-computer interaction specialists, neuropsychologists and neuroethicists reviewed 16 online tests for Alzheimer’s, evaluating their scientific validity and reliability, their human-computer interaction features and ethics-related factors. Evaluating the tests on a scale from 1 (very poor) to 10 (excellent), the panel found that 12 tests scored “poor” or “very poor” for overall scientific validity and reliability and all 16 scored “poor” or “very poor” for ethical factors. According to Julie Robillard, a postdoctoral fellow at the National Core for Neuroethics at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and presenter of the data, the tests “are not useful for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.” “As many as 80 percent of Internet users, including a growing proportion of older adults, seek health information and diagnoses online,” Robillard said. “Self-diagnosis behavior in particular is increasingly popular online, and freely accessible quizzes that call themselves ‘tests’ for Alzheimer’s are available on the Internet. However, little is known about the scientific validity and reliability of these offerings and ethics-related factors including research and commercial conflict of interest, confidentiality and consent. Frankly, what we found online was distressing and potentially harmful.” The best medicine There is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but new research suggests that exercise might be the best “medicine” for older adults showing early signs of the disease. A diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) signals more substantial memory loss and is associated with a greater risk of Alzheimer’s, but a study at the University of Maryland School of Public Health offers new hope for people with MCI. Led by Dr. J. Carson Smith, the study showed that an exercise intervention for adults with MCI improved their memory recall and brain function, as measured with imaging tests. “We found that after 12 weeks of being on a moderate exercise program, study participants (ages 60-88) improved their neural efficiency,” Smith said. “Basically, they were using fewer

neural resources to perform the same memory task. No study has shown that a drug can do what we showed is possible with exercise.” Study participants included adults with and without MCI, all of whom previously were inactive. After three months of walking on a treadmill, both groups improved their cardiovascular fitness by about 10 percent and improved their memory performance and brain function. In addition to showing improvement on brain imaging tests, participants improved their performance on a word recall test. “People with MCI are on a very sharp decline in their memory function, so being able to improve their recall is a very big step in the right direction, said Smith, who plans to conduct a larger study to learn more about the impact of exercise on delaying the onset or progression of Alzheimer’s.
routine tasks, such as sitting down and standing up from a chair or walking outside for five minutes without a rest. Those in the younger group who had low vitamin D levels were twice as likely to have a physical limitation. Among older participants, those with the lowest vitamin D levels were 1.7 times more likely than those with the highest levels to have at least one limitation. “Seniors who have low levels of vitamin D are more likely to have mobility limitations and to see their physical functioning decline over time,” said Evelien Sohl, the study’s lead author. “Older individuals with these limitations are more likely to be admitted to nursing homes and face a higher risk of mortality.” According to Sohl, taking vitamin D supplements could be a way to prevent physical decline, but additional studies are needed to confirm that hypothesis.

STOP THE SILENCE Families with addicts come out to walk against heroin use in St. Charles County
By AMY ARMOUR An O’Fallon family has turned a tragedy into an opportunity to educate and support families suffering from the effects of heroin. Gee and Vance Vigna lost their 20-yearold daughter, Nicky, to a heroin overdose on Jan. 3. In memory of their daughter, the couple and their 23-year-old daughter, Brittney, have started a walking group called “Walking for Wellness.” The group — clad in brightly colored T-shirts emblazoned with STOP HEROIN — walks through St. Peters and O’Fallon on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6 p.m. to raise awareness. “I have always been a walker and after Nicky died, I had to get out of the house and walk. It was actually private time for me to walk and cry,” said Gee Vigna. “As the mom, you have to be strong for your family. My husband and I were very open about our emotions, but I was always afraid to have Brittney see me upset. I didn’t want her to be sad for me. I needed to be there for her.” Each time she would walk, Gee would get stopped by neighbors who had addicts in their lives too. “The silence had to stop,” said Gee. “How can all of these people have addicts in their lives, but no one talks about it. No one shares resources, no one comforts each other, no one tells you what to do and not do. No one is talking about ‘heroin’ but the secret keeps killing our kids.” So Gee and her family decided to create a walking group that would raise awareness while also providing families with
support from others undergoing similar situations. On the first walk, more than 50 people showed up. Brittney Vigna created a Facebook page, and the inbox flooded with messages from all over the country. “We were getting messages from all over of people wanting to get shirts, and start walks in their areas,” Brittney said. “So within a week, I set up www.stopheroin.org, where people can buy shirts and learn more about the walk, and how to start their own.” Cheryl Walbridge walks with the group in support of her son Daniel Walbridge, a 2008 graduate and former football player at Fort Zumwalt North — and a recovering heroin addict. “Heroin is at epidemic levels but there is such a stigma related to it that no one wants to talk about it,” said Cheryl Walbridge. “It is time for that to change and the Vigna family has made a huge step in the right direction organizing this walk twice a week in memory and in honor of their daughter and sister, Nicky.” Cheryl said her son Daniel served three years in the Army and returned home in 2012 where he was introduced to the drug by his heroin addicted girlfriend. “She took my son to her dealer’s house and told the dealer my son was just home from the Army and would like to ‘try’ heroin,” said Cheryl. “The dealer gave him three pills for free. … My son became addicted with those free pills.” The pills turned into injections, and Daniel confronted his mother with his addiction in March. He has been in recovery since April 25. “People think this cannot happen to them, their family, their friends; they are wrong,” said Cheryl. “It only takes one time so ‘Not Even Once’ is a strong motto. My son and I talk a lot about taking one day at a time and not to take the sobriety for granted. Just one slip up could be the end and he knows he must remain stronger than the demonheroin.” Steven Windes Jr. was 25 when he overdosed from heroin in 2012. He was the only child of Steve and Cathy Windes, and he left behind his 3-year-old daughter. “I’m not really sure when he got involved. I just know he was doing some drugs and alcohol and either I was too naïve or he just covered it well,” said Cathy Windes, who walks with the group. Steven did court appointed rehab twice a week, but Cathy felt like that was a waste of time.
“I wanted him to go in and stay in but he was working a full time job and supporting his child and didn’t want to lose his job,” said Cathy. “He always told us he could handle it on his own. But they can’t, they aren’t able to think logically anymore. I wish with all my heart that we were not so dumb about the drug and knew where to turn.” “The face of heroin isn’t what you would think,” said Brittney Vigna. “It’s suburban kids in their 20s. Don’t let this happen to the people you love, and take a stand against it.” Gee warns parents to be aware that heroin is easily available. “In so many cases, people I have spoken to did not know that heroin is what they were doing until it was too late,” said Gee. “This drug is very cheap. They can buy it with what we give our kids for lunch money. A button of heroin is $10. You can die by using $10 of heroin.” Nicky Vigna got involved with heroin her senior year of high school. A co-worker at a restaurant in St. Charles introduced Nicky to the drug, which she initially snorted. Soon she was using needles to shoot up. “Her behavior had become very erratic by the end of 2009 but teenage girls in general at that age are pretty difficult to get along with,” said Gee. “By the first part of 2010 getting her up for school was getting progressively difficult. On Feb. 3, 2010, we had an argument when she came home, but she went directly to her room. The next morning, I was not going to get her up for school but for some reason I went to her room and that is when I found her: She was on her side, white eyes rolled in the back
of her head, frothing out of the mouth and making this horrible gasping sound.” On Feb. 4, 2010, the Vignas found out that Nicky was using heroin. “After four days in the hospital they released Nicky to us, they offered no advice, no resources for help, no nothing,” said Gee. “We were clueless what to do for her or with her. That frustration was never ending.” Nicky was admitted to Bridgeway in St. Charles for a three week in-house program. “Another painful lesson – three weeks of rehab will never produce successful results,” said Gee. “Successful results for them are longer intervals between their use.” Nicky died from an overdose on Jan. 3. “Every day I miss the sound of her voice, the two or three phone calls I used to get from her, the sparkle in her eyes, her funny sense of humor, her flawless skin, her dad and her playing Angry Birds together- we just miss her,” Gee said. Walking for Wellness made its first donation of $450 to the National Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse from the shirt sale proceeds. Brittney and Gee will be doing parent/student heroin awareness presentations this fall in local schools. “We have already accomplished what we had hoped to – people are openly talking about heroin addiction, families who have lost kids are connecting with other families for support and addicts in recovery have a place to pay if forward and be a part of a community effort without judgment,” said Gee. “Will it end the heroin problem in St. Charles County, probably not. Will it get families talking and potentially keep some kid from ever trying heroin – I hope so.”

The taller a woman is, the greater her risk of developing cancer, a large study indicates.
Taller women more prone to cancer
There are lots of things a woman can do to decrease her risk of getting cancer, but one apparent risk factor – her height – is out of her control. A study of nearly 21,000 postmenopausal women aged 50-79 showed that the taller a woman was, the greater her risk of developing cancer. Height was linked to cancers of the breast, colon, endometrium, kidney, ovary, rectum and thyroid and also to multiple myeloma and melanoma. “We were surprised at the number of cancer sites that were positively associated with height. In this data set, more cancers
are associated with height than were associated with body mass index,” said Geoffrey Kabat, epidemiologist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in New York. “Ultimately, cancer is a result of processes having to do with growth, so it makes sense that hormones or other growth factors that influence height may also influence cancer risk.” For the study, researchers used data from the Women’s Health Initiative, a large, multi-center study that between 1993 and 1998 recruited 144,701 women aged 50-79. They identified 20,928 women who were diagnosed with invasive cancer during a 12-year follow-up, and to study the effect of height, they considered various cancer-influencing factors, such as age, weight, education, smoking and alcohol consumption, and hormone therapy. The relationship between height and cancer was strong; every increase of roughly four inches in height was associated with a 13 percent increase in developing any cancer. Specifically, there was a 13-17 percent increase in the risk of melanoma and cancers of the breast, ovary endometrium and colon, and there was a 23-29 percent increase in the risk of kidney, rectal, thyroid and blood cancers. Nineteen cancers were studied, and none showed a negative association with height. The study was published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention,
a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
Full moon worsens sleep Researchers have concluded that the moon’s cycles affect quality of sleep. Scientists in Switzerland monitored brain patterns and eye movements and measured hormone secretions of sleeping volunteers and found the volunteers’ sleep patterns changed with lunar cycles. According to information published in Current Biology, participants’ brain activity in areas of the brain related to deep sleep dropped by 30 percent around a full moon, they took five minutes longer to fall asleep, and their overall sleep duration was shortened by 20 minutes. Volunteers reported that they felt like they experienced poorer sleep when the moon was full, and their levels of melatonin – a hormone that regulates sleep and wake cycles – was reduced. “This is the first reliable evidence that lunar rhythm can modulate sleep structure in humans,” said Christian Cajochen, a professor at the University of Basel and the study’s lead researcher.
Top hospitals U.S. News & Word Report’s 2013-2014
Don’t replace it,
Best Hospitals rankings were released last month, and several area hospitals were named to the list. Ranked among the best hospitals in Missouri are Barnes-Jewish Hospital/Washington University (No. 1), Mercy Hospital St. Louis (No. 2), Missouri Baptist Medical Center (No. 4), St. Luke’s Hospital (No. 8), Barnes-Jewish St. Peters Hospital, Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital, SSM St. Joseph Hospital West, and Saint Louis University Hospital (No. 12/tie). Hospitals that rank near the top in at least six specialties are named to the Honor Roll – a distinction earned this year by only 18 hospitals in the nation, including Barnes-Jewish Hospital/Washington University. Barnes-Jewish was ranked nationally in 15 adult specialties and is among 147 facilities – about 3 percent of hospitals analyzed for the rankings – to be ranked in even one of the 16 specialties. U.S. News & World Report is in its 24th year of ranking hospitals as a way to recognize those that excel in treating patients with particularly challenging conditions. This year’s rankings cover almost 5,000 medical centers and 16 medical specialties. The complete rankings can be found online at health.usnews.com/best-hospital and will be published in the U.S. News Best Hospitals 2014 guidebook, which will be available in bookstores and on newsstands on Aug. 27.
