book password. This was after her husband found out she had posted to the site her feelings related to not being able to care for the couple’s children. In that same case, she was also ordered to disclose passwords for her online dating profile accounts.

Specifically, when looking at how social media is playing a role in divorce, outside of increasing the urge for infidelity and leading to a divorce, social media posts are frequently being submitted in child custody cases in order to try and call into question the other parent’s ability to care and raise children.

For the Missouri parent who is going through a divorce, what this means is to remember that even though Facebook and other social media sites may feel private, these sites are not and the information that winds up on them can end up being used either in a person’s favor -- or against them -- later on down the road.

For example, in one case a woman was ordered by a judge to disclose her Face-

THOMAS SOWELL

God and Jerusalem Who would have thought that God and Jerusalem would become controversial issues at this year’s Democratic National Convention? Previous Democratic Party platforms had mentioned God and referred to Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. After both were initially missing from this year’s platform, someone apparently realized that this was likely to raise questions about Democrats that they could ill afford to have raised in an election year. So the convention faced a vote on whether to restore God and Jerusalem to their party’s platform. Rather than risk a roll-call vote from the delegates, the chair called for a voice vote. The voice vote sounded too close to call, but the chair called it anyway, ruling that those wanting God and Jerusalem restored had the necessary two-thirds vote. This added an element of farce to the proceedings, but politicians are usually hardened against any sense of shame. More was involved than a passing tempest in a teapot. Democrats were already politically vulnerable on the issue of not respecting religious freedom, because of the Obama administration’s heavy-handed forcing of Catholic institutions to finance contraception, against their own religious principles. Jerusalem raised very different questions. In the real world, there is no question that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. That is where their national government is located. But in the murky world of international politics – and especially in the never-never land of the mythical “Middle East peace process” – the Palestinians’ demand that Jerusalem be their capital has made liberals in general, and the Obama administration in particular, skittish about recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Nothing that would call attention to Obama’s policies toward Israel is likely to quiet the fears of Jewish voters in America, especially as it regards the threat of a nuclear Iran, whose leaders have openly and repeatedly proclaimed their desire to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. From the beginning, Barack Obama has tried to downplay the threat of a nuclear Iran. At one time he said dismissively that Iran was just “a small country.” In fact, Iran is physically larger than Japan, and its current population is slightly

NEW YORK

larger than what the population of Japan was when the Japanese dealt a devastating blow to the United States with its attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. A nuclear Iran can do a lot more damage to Israel than the Japanese did to the United States. Moreover, it is well on its way to being able to produce more than the two bombs that were enough to force Japan to surrender in 1945. Israel is in a desperate situation – and there is no way that Barack Obama does not know that. Of all the authors whose books about Barack Obama have flooded the market, Dinesh D’Souza has shown the best grasp of Obama’s strange ideological view of the world. Based on that understanding, D’Souza said two years ago: “I predict that even as Iran develops the full capacity to build nuclear weapons, Obama will do little or nothing to stop it.” As for the possibility that Israel will “launch airstrikes to disable the Iranian nuclear facilities,” D’Souza said, “I predict the Obama administration will do its best to prevent Israel from taking any such action.” That is what Obama is doing to this very moment. He has even taken the unconscionable step of revealing to the world Israel’s secret arrangements with Azerbaijan to provide a refueling place for its planes going to or returning from an airstrike on Iran. Dinesh D’Souza has no crystal ball. But you don’t need a crystal ball to predict Barack Obama’s hostile attitude toward Israel, despite all of Obama’s lofty words saying the opposite. All you need to know is the man’s ideological history and the long line of ideologues who have helped him shape that ideology. These include Professor Edward Said, spokesman for Palestinian terrorists, under whom Obama studied at Columbia University. The question of Jerusalem at the Democrats’ convention threatened to open a can of worms that Barack Obama cannot afford to have opened, least of all in an election year. © 2012 Creators.com

More thoughts

Alaska the Last Frontier... North to Alaska; go north the rush is on. I would like to invite you to join me for our 20th Annual Alaska Planning Seminar. The Largest Alaska presentation in the St. Louis Area. Thursday evening, September 27th at the All Occasion Banquet Center in St. Charles, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. If you’re able to attend you must RSVP to www.cruisenut. com or info@cruisenut.com. We will feature myself and Amy Alford of Princess Cruises® as speakers. Been thinking of Alaska then this is the time to listen and learn. I have been to Alaska 19 times and each and every time it becomes more awesome. Next year I will be hosting our 20th annual Cruise/Tour which begins on June 22, 2013 for 14 nights. We will begin our tour in Fairbanks, staying in Denali, Mt. McKinley and on to my favorite area of Alaska, the Kenai Peninsula; this is where the true Alaskans vacation and we stay in Log Cabins for two nights. After our land stay we continue to Whittier where we will board our Ship and sail down the coast. Stopping along the way we will see Hubbard Glacier, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Juneau, Ketchikan and then sail the Inside Passage down to Vancouver where we end our tour. For 19 years we have had groups of 30 to 60 people each year who have joined us and still continue to travel with us. The four main reasons people visit Alaska are Mountains, Glaciers, Wildlife, and Wilderness; this gives you a chance to see it all! You can choose from 7, 10, 11, 14, or more days. I hope you will be able to join us for this exciting presentation. Did you know that of the 20 highest mountains in the U.S. 17 are in Alaska?

To the Editor: In response to Aug. 15 Thomas Sowell article Thoughts on “Random Thoughts,” I say, who better than a man within the educational system to denounce the modern day college system. He has had the experience in dealing with the entire daily goings on within the system for many years. It has been said over the past 30 to 50 years our society has been dumbed down. A not so recent study tested freshmen and seniors, attending our famous Ivy League schools. The freshmen tested higher than the seniors. Ultimately, the outcome of the freshman’s higher test scores alludes to the dumbing down of America. This identification may also back the truth about America losing its math and science abilities, which is absolutely necessary and related to the growth of a civilization. A civilization, or country, must have full utilization of its science, for material and monetary growth. (It also must have full control to utilize its natural resources, or it will become a third-world country) We have a lot less science and math majors than many countries in the world today, especially China, thus, fewer scientists… The college graduates today appear to be mostly business majors. It also appears that grads will be dependant on major corporations for their livelihood, for the educational system teaches that if you do not look to a corporation to take care of you and give you work, you will fail. The other truth on the subject is that the average college graduate uses loans to pay for their education. In today’s economy, the average graduate is underemployed or unemployed, and may not be working in the field of his or her major. Many continue seeking employment in their respective fields., to no avail. The average graduate is having a hard time repaying their student loan. A lot of grads are working for little over minimum wage. Education is supposed to enable us to be self sufficient and gratified, and to allow us to soar and fly. I do not see where this idea is being lived out in our present-day life. Our educational and medical system leaves a lot to be desired. Thomas, keep telling us your opinions, as you have a lot of knowledge to share. Chris P. Lake Saint Louis

To the Editor: I am a World War II veteran. I get less Social Security than anyone else - a lot less.

My government calls me a notch person instead of a veteran. If you were born between 1917 and 1926, you are a notch person and most people born in those years are also World War II veterans so we all get less Social Security than anyone else. In 25 years, it’s amounted to $75,000 less for me and my wife. (More than) 400,000 troops lost their lives in World War II. What a waste. At the end of World War II, I was on a ship headed to invade Japan where I would have died for a country that stole $75,000 from me. I went to see the World War II Memorial in Washington DC and received the book on the Memorial. They have a lot of stuff in that book but it is a lot of crap. This country doesn’t give it (deleted) about its World War II veterans. If I knew then what I know now, I never would have served my country. My country doesn’t care about us or we would not received less Social Security than anyone else. Le Roy Hoffmann O’Fallon

Poor performers To the Editor: What happens to managers of last place teams? When happens when companies do poorly, lose money or alienate customers? Often, after one year, the owner or the board of directors will say let’s wait and see, give him some time. Two years, three years go by and the results are the same. Not only the same but they are worse, in most aspects - much worse than they have ever been. Then, another year, the fourth year is ending and all the anticipated hope and the long-trumpeted change have turned to smoldering ash, the ruin of a very poor choice made four nightmarish years ago. Of course, this analogy is not about a sports team manager or coach nor is it about the CEO of a corporation. It is about Barack Obama. When it comes to American interests, he is clearly the worst president our country has ever elected. If he were in the private sector, two things would have happened. One, he would have been fired long ago for sheer incompetence on the job....or two, he would have resigned out of honor, which of course, was not going to happen. Thus, we are left with removing him by electing Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. This will be the first step towards returning the country to a semblance of traditional American values. Notice I said a first step as there are many more that will need to follow. Rob Schultz

SEPTEMBER 19, 2012 MID RIVERS NEWSMAGAZINE

EDITORIAL

The choices we make On Monday, McDonald’s rolled out new menu boards that feature the calories of all their offerings from side salads to supersized fries. Diners no doubt received a shock when they discovered that some of their favorites had two or three times the amount of calories they expected. But will it change the way they order? Health professionals are hoping the restaurant’s transparency causes diners to stop and think before ordering. Be prepared – all that thinking might wreak havoc with wait times in the drivethru lines. Just imagine, you pull up to the speaker all set to order an Angus Deluxe – the one with healthy lettuce and tomatoes on top – along with a soda and fries for lunch. Then you notice its calorie count. It’s right there under a special section labeled “pairfection!” Depending on soda type and fry size you choose, that under mid-day meal could cost you as much as 1,370 calories

– and it’s only noon. Time to choose. You scan the menu board. A classic grilled chicken sandwich is just 370 calories. The guy behind you is growing impatient. “Come on, buddy. Make a choice.” Choice is a funny thing. McDonald’s says the company is changing its menu boards “to further inform and help customers and employees make nutrition-minded choices.” As Americans we like choices. We like being able to decide for ourselves if we’re going to indulge in a big, juicy burger or choose a lower calorie meal. Sure, we don’t always make the best choices. If we did, fewer Americans might be overweight and the cost of health care might be lower. But the choice is ours – at least it is today, in Missouri. Last Thursday, the New York Board of Health, approved a ban on the sale of large sodas and other sugary drinks over 16 ounces at restaurants, street carts and movie theaters, the first restriction of its kind in the country. The ban was championed by New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg last spring and was met by the wrath of freedomloving, soft-drink guzzling Americans. Proponents of the plan said it would help curb American obesity. Opponents said it was a violation of Americans’ right to choose. Limit our Big Gulps, how dare he? Well, actually he didn’t. Despite the regulation being nicknamed the “Big Gulp Ban,” it doesn’t actually apply to Big Gulps, or Double Big Gulps, or soda from vending machines or some newsstands. That’s because newsstands, vending machines and 7-11 stores are not regulated as restaurants by the state of New York. Drinks containing dairy products are also exempt, so a Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino is not affected by the ban, even though it contains 54 grams of sugar. So you can still buy a giant soda, you just have to be choosy about where you shop – and that open up another whole argument on competition and free enterprise. Maybe rather than arguing, Americans really need to do what health professionals have been suggesting for years – stop and think. Every day we are faced with choices that affect our health, and every day we make them – good and bad. Despite what it might do to the drivethru line, McDonald’s may have just made those decisions easier to make.

News Br iefs St. Charles Family of fallen soldier receives $50,000 The family of a Missouri National Guard soldier from St. Charles killed while serving in Afghanistan received a welcome surprise earlier this month at a St. Louis Cardinals game. Standing just off the Busch Stadium pitcher’s mound, Serena, 13, and Aleks Kisseloff, 11, and their grandparents received the firstever Veterans United Military Hero Award. The award, a $50,000 donation from Columbia, Mo.-based Veterans, was in honor of Serena and Aleks’ father, Sgt. Denis Kisseloff, who was killed May 14, 2010. Sgt. Kisseloff served in the 1141st Engineering Company of the Missouri National Guard. He was killed by insurgent gun fire while serving at Forward Operating Base Shank as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. Two years prior, Serena and Aleks lost their mother to an illness. “Serena and Aleks have been through more than we should ever ask children to go through,” said Megan Sievers, director of Veterans United Foundation, the charitable arm of Veterans United Home Loans in Columbia. “This donation is simply a way for us to show our support of their father, their family

and their service to our country.” Eight members of the Kisseloff family attended the game, and Sgt. Kisseloff’s children threw out the first pitch. The award presentation was made by Missouri National Guard Brigadier General David Irwin and Specialist Ernest Roberts. Roberts served with Sgt. Kisseloff in Afghanistan. “Denis was just a great guy to serve with, and he loved his family very much,” Roberts said. “I’m really glad the efforts to support his family and other military families are continuing because the need is great.”

Man dies in car crash A 29-year-old St. Charles man was killed in a single car crash in St. Charles on Sept. 11. The crash occurred in the 600 block of S. Second Street at about 1:30 a.m. on Sept. 11. The driver and only occupant, David M. Crawford, of the 100 block of Whetstone Dr. in St. Charles, was pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses reported that Crawford was southbound on S. Second when he lost control of his vehicle which skidded then overturned ejecting Crawford. Police said accident reconstruction investigators are working to determine what factors may have contributed to the crash.

Phoenix joined the ranks of the St. Charles Police Department Canine Unit on Sept. 13. Phoenix is a multi-purpose canine capable of tracking, contraband detection, and protection duties. Phoenix joins the department’s other two K9s, Duke and Tucker. “Phoenix, unlike our other two dogs, will be trained in criminal apprehension and officer protection thus when deployed in that role he will be a force multiplier in incidents requiring crowd control, or suspect tracking,” said Lt. Dave Senter, with the St. Charles Police Department. Phoenix will be partnered with a newly selected canine officer and together they will complete their training over the next few weeks. “It will allow us to have canine capabilities on all three shifts so as to provide nearly 24-hour coverage for those situations requiring canine response,” said Senter. “In addition to that, with three dogs each will get called out less during off duty time thus protecting the resources and prolonging the service life of all three. “ The addition of a third canine to the ranks of the St. Charles Police Department is being made possible through a donation from the Grant Anthony Jansen Foundation. The Foundation was founded by Annette Jansen, widow of St. Charles Police K9 Officer Grant A. Jansen, who died in a single car

traffic crash in 2008. The Grant Anthony Jansen Memorial Foundation, a non-profit organization, was established to carry on the legacy of Officer Jansen, and his dedication to family and law enforcement.

What’s your name? St. Charles Police captured Travis A. McClure, 21, of the 1100 block of Colby Court in St. Peters, following a short vehicle pursuit and manhunt. McClure was stopped at approximately 7 p.m., Sept. 12, by a St. Charles Police Officer for a traffic violation. McClure, who had an active wanted from another agency, gave the officer a false name; that name was of a suspect wanted in connection with an armed robbery that occurred in St. Charles in 2011. While the officer was awaiting backup McClure sped from the stop. A short vehicle pursuit ended when McClure drove between two residences and crashed his vehicle into a creek. McClure was captured later hiding in a culvert where the creek passes under Muegge Road near Hackman Road. McClure is currently being held pending warrant application on charges of resisting arrest by fleeing, driving while revoked/ suspended, and possession of drug paraphernalia. McClure’s girlfriend, Victoria Knight 19, of the 100 block of Vanmark Way in St. Louis was in the vehicle at the time of the initial stop and subsequent pursuit. Knight was charged in municipal court with hin-

Welcome scouts The St. Charles Police Department will host a Scout Tour from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sat., Oct. 13 at its department located at 1781 Zumbehl Road. The department will have on display several of its vehicles including the Mobile command post, supervisor’s vehicles and a patrol unit. Scouts will be able to see and get inside most of the vehicles. “One of the requirements for advancement/achievements etc… in scouts (boy and girl) is to visit a governmental facility,” said Lt. Dave Senter, with the St. Charles Police Department. “Rather than be inundated with requests throughout the year we try to manage it by offering a day.” Police Officers will lead groups of 10 to 15 scouts on a guided tour of the Criminal Justice Facility, which will include a visit to the Dispatch Center and the Municipal Court. Reservations are required and will be taken until the time slots are filled. To make a reservation, call 949-3541.

Lane closed on I-70 The Missouri Department of Transportation closed one lane in each direction from Fifth Street to Earth City Expressway on Sept. 14. The lane closures will remain in place through Oct. 9. The median lane will be closed in each direction for three weeks so crews can build the pavement in the median that will be used to cross traffic from one side of the highway to the other. “With only one lane closed in each direction, we don’t expect significant delays to I-70 during these three weeks,” said MoDOT St. Charles Area Engineer Tom Evers. “However, this work will cause some delay, and we encourage people to use this time to try the alternate routes in preparation for the major detour that begins the first of November.” The work is being done in preparation for the closure of the westbound I-70 Blanchette Bridge the first weekend of November. The bridge will remain closed for less than one year.

St. Peters Bank robber still at large The St. Peters Police Department is still looking for a suspect accused of robbing the US Bank located inside of Schnucks Supermarket at 577 Mid Rivers Mall Drive. The bank office was robbed by a black male subject just after 3 p.m. on Aug. 29.

According to police, the suspect entered the Schnucks and walked to the US Bank counter, located just inside the supermarket doors. Once he was at the counter, he passed a note to the teller demanding money and implying he had a gun. The suspect received an undisclosed amount of money and fled the area in an unknown direction on foot. The suspect is described as a black male with a medium build, about 5 foot, 8 inches and between the ages of 25 and 35. He has short, dark hair and was wearing black sunglasses, a black shirt and jeans. Anyone with information on the identity of the suspect is asked to call Detective Paul Barish at St. Peters Police Department at 278-2244 ext. 3531.

Suspicious man found St. Peters Police say they have met with the man reported to have frightened two young girls in the Tanglewood subdivision earlier this month. Police said the two 11-year-old girls were walking in the Tanglewood subdivision at approximately 6:45 p.m. on Sept. 9 when an unidentified male pulled a Frisbee from the trunk of his parked vehicle and threw it at the girls. One of the girls did not know how to throw the Frisbee back, so the male subject said he would teach them. The male subject stood behind the young female who had the Frisbee in her hand, and put his hands on her waist. The girl told police she felt uncomfortable with his touching and both girls ran from the area. On Sept. 13, after receiving numerous tips, the police identified the subject and said later, “he was extremely cooperative with our investigation.” After speaking with the male subject, and investigating the incident, it was determined no crime had occurred. Police said the man had no criminal history and was not on the sex offender registry. Police said the man had recently relocated to the St. Peters area and was an athletic coach for various children’s sports teams in his prior hometown. He said he did not realize at the time how his actions would alarm the young girls. Because no crime occurred and no charges are being filed, the police will not be releasing the name of the subject. Police department officials said in a news release, it feels confident that the male subject was not intending on harming the young girls. St. Peters Police Officer Melissa Doss said young children should always walk in pairs and never alone. “Parents should be talking to their children often about what to do in uncomfortable situations, to include issues with strangers. It is important for parents to talk to their kids about immediately leaving situations in which they are uncomfortable or just doesn’t feel right,” Doss said.

Smoking ban tossed from November election By Michael R. Smith On Tuesday, Sept. 11, Rich Chrismer, director of the St. Charles County Election Authority pulled two questions from the November ballot which voters were to decide on a potential smoking ban in the county. He said the ballots were “technically incorrect” because of inconsistencies between their wording and language in the ordinance that established the vote and which would have gone into a County Charter amendment. He blamed the confusion on the County Council’s “rush” to get the issue on the ballot. Chrismer also said that the “St. Charles County government acknowledged they had problems and introduced a bill to correct the mistakes they made.” The council presented a bill to fix the language problems at its Sept. 10 meeting and is expected decide the matter at its Sept. 24 meeting. However, because the deadline has past to introduce ballot issues Chrismer said even with the language repairs to the ordi-

nance a judge’s approval is necessary now to put the questions back on the ballot. As originally presented, voters would have first been asked whether tobacco smoking should be banned throughout the county. A ban would cover both incorporated and unincorporated areas in the county. Then, voters would have been asked in a separate question whether to exempt some businesses and groups from the ban. The language problems in the various documents had already caught the attention of two groups which opened separate lawsuits to block a public vote on the issue. The council’s intent with the second question was to exempt businesses where their employees and patrons are over 21-years old, plus fraternal organizations, private clubs, and some hotel rooms. Some businesses didn’t think the ballot language was clear enough about the exemptions. Troy Stremming, Senior Vice-President of Government Relations and Public Affairs for Ameristar Casino, said after the council’s Sept. 10 meeting,

“The casino is not exempted.” “It’s a very confusing question for the voter,” Stremming said. On Sept. 11, Ameristar added its lawsuit to an earlier one brought by Terry Alexander, a bowling alley owner and former county treasurer. If Ameristar wasn’t exempted from a smoking ban, Stremming said, it would be the only casino in Missouri to prohibit smoking in its facilities. That would put it at a competitive disadvantage to nearby casinos across the Missouri River exempted from a St. Louis County smoking ordinance. He said the ban’s impact to Ameristar and the county would be “tens of millions of dollars” in lost casino revenue, millions of dollars to the county in lost fees and taxes, and the loss of hundreds of local jobs. Alexander’s suit similarly claims language problems between the documents. It also claims the council violated a requirement that the bill be read in its entirety at a council meeting or be available in writing at least 36 hours before introduction.

LSL will plow snow in private subdivisions By Michael R. Smith At its Sept. 4 meeting Lake Saint Louis aldermen voted 4-2 to override the mayor’s veto of an ordinance that authorizes the city to snowplow private subdivision streets, or reimburse residents of those streets if they contract their own plowing services. Ward Two alderwomen Karen Vennard and Kathy Schweikert voted against the veto override. The board’s action wasn’t unexpected because it voted 4-1 to pass the ordinance on Aug. 30 in Vennard’s absence. Only four votes were needed to override the veto and no minds had been changed between meetings. Mayor Mike Potter said it’s the first time he has vetoed a board action. “It’s only used when you think you made a mistake.” Among Potter’s reasons for vetoing the ordinance are: -The issue opens the question of whether residents may now choose to opt in or out of city services and which they will pay for; -If the city must plow all private streets the cost would be significantly more than the maximum $15,000 the ordinance authorizes. The mayor and other ordinance opponents question its legality because of statements in the Missouri constitution that public funds may only be used for public purposes. Ward Three Alderman George Rich explained that the city’s attorney advised the board “that there is no violation of state statutes.” Matt Reh, an attorney with the city’s legal counsel Armstrong Teasdale, conferred with the board on the proposed bill during an executive session in its Aug. 30 meeting. During the Sept. 4 meeting Potter asked Reh about the ordinance’s legal standing: “Did you guarantee the constitutionality?” “I believe I couched it in terms of probability,” Reh said. Ward Two Alderwoman Kathy Schweikert explained that in the executive meeting board members who favored the bill added language which made snowplowing private subdivision streets a public “health and safety” issue. Ward One Alderman Tony Zito — who sponsored the bill and also lives in a private subdivision — said, private subdivision residents currently receive city police, fire, and ambulance services. City staff is expected to provide recommendations to the board for an amendment that clarifies the ordinance. Potter said the amendment will “correct the mistakes they made.” He promised, “I’ll veto it again.”

of the man told them Gerst, a normally soft-spoken gentleman, had been punched several times in the head. Gerst had been a star athlete at Ft. Zumwalt West High School. Following his graduation, Gerst was drafted by the Chicago White Sox. He played a half season as an outfielder with the Grizzlies in 2011, but was released at the end of his contract because, according to the team`s manager, his level of experience would have commanded a salary higher than the league`s salary cap.

The Medical Examiner said not to expect results of an autopsy for several weeks.” Damke said O’Fallon Police are the primary investigators in the case, but the St. Charles County Sheriff’s Department assisted. Gerst was a 2006 draft pick of the Chicago White Sox minor league who made it as high as Triple-A before being released. He later signed with the Gateway Grizzlies, an independent minor-league team in Sauget, Ill. He hit .228 in 36 games for the Grizzlies in 2011. His teammates called him “one of their most outstanding players.” The Chicago Tribune reported that White Sox major league pitcher Hector Santiago was saddened to learn of the death of his former Chicago White Sox minor league teammate. “He was an awesome teammate,” said Santiago in the Tribune story. Santiago played with Gerst at Advanced Rookie-Bristol and Class-A Winston-Salem. “He came to St. Louis when we played there. We talked and texted. I talked to him a bunch of times this year,” Santiago said. O’Fallon Police said they weren’t certain how his body ended up in the creek, but friends reported that he had been seen fighting a few blocks away from Moudy’s Bar and Grill on Saturday.

By Mary Ann O’Toole Holley O’Fallon police are investigating the death of a former minor-league baseball player whose body was found Sunday night, in the water under the West Terra Lane Bridge across Peruque Creek in the city. O’Fallon Police Officer Diana Damke said on Sept. 9, at about 6 p.m., the Police Department received a call to the 1300 block of Turtle Creek in reference to a missing adult. Kent Gerst, 24, of O’Fallon had reportedly not returned to his residence the night before. O’Fallon Police learned that he was last seen at about 10 p.m. Saturday night in the area of West Terra Lane and Peruque Crossing Court. Damke said O’Fallon Police checked the area and found Gerst deceased, at approximately 11 p.m. under the Peruque Creek Bridge. Damke said the creek is not generally filled with deep water. The Medical Examiner’s Office responded to the scene and took custody of the body. Damke said an investigation is continuing into the victim’s activities prior to being found just hours later after he was reported missing. The cause of death remains under investigation, but police believe he may have fallen from a small bluff. “I was told that it does take several weeks for a determination on the cause of death,” Damke said. “They have to do toxicology

Local YMCA to take over management UNEVEN SIDEWALK? WE PUMP IT UP! of Elm Point Education Center Save 50 to 70% Over Replacement • Driveways • Patios • Steps • Any Slab!

By Amy Armour Starting Oct. 1, the St. Charles County Family YMCA will take over the management and operation of the Elm Point Early Childhood Education Center from Lutheran Family and Children’s Services of Missouri (LFCS). The Elm Point Early Childhood Center, FREE ESTIMATE located at 3601 Mueller Road, currently We'll meet any written competitor's bid, plus discount 10% OFF the difference! has 87 children between the ages of six weeks and 12 years enrolled. The center is • w w w. a 1 c o n c r e t e . c o m state licensed through the Missouri Department of Health and Human Services and is accredited by the National Association of the Young Child (NAEYC). 1/8 Horizontal ad size The LFCS Operating Board determined 4 15/16 x 2 13/16 it was in the organization’s best interest to transfer management in response to continued economic challenges in operating the facility.

fer would be a natural extension to the services the Y already provides to the community. “This is a great match because of the values and goals we share, including providing young children with a high quality, educational experience,” Tillman said. Tillman said the YMCA is the largest provider of daycare in the state of Missouri, and part of that is because of its Early Childhood Education Centers. The organization, which currently operates several facilities in the greater St. Louis area, has provided child care services for 47 years to the St. Charles community. “Our programming and curriculum is very similar to Elm Point’s, and we do not anticipate that the programming of the St. Charles County Family YMCA or Elm Point will change,” said Tillman. Families from the current St. Charles County Y Early Childhood Education Center will begin transitioning to the Elm Point Center in October and continue through March 1, 2013, as space becomes available. The St. Charles County Y Early Childhood Education Center will close after that point. Families currently enrolled at both facilities are guaranteed enrollment at the new facility. There will be short-term and longterm employment opportunities offered to the current Elm Point staff to work for the Y.

County may save on communications needs

Oakwood Ln

Sunrise Ct

By Michael R. Smith A St. Charles County leader says that by shifting some tasks to another vendor the county may save a substantial part of a potential $486,170 contract the County Council authorized in July. The council instructed Director of Administration Chuck Gross to spend up to that amount to evaluate locations for a new space for the county’s information technology offices, as well as for communications towers the county must have to unite area emergency departments. Gross said that a proposed contract with the consulting firm Ross & Baruzzini, of Kirkwood, largely includes help in finding a new spot for the county’s information systems offices. The current location in the county’s administration building no longer has sufficient space or power for departmental needs. However, the contract also included an option to spend $126,000 with a consulting firm to recommend locations for 15 communications towers. The towers need to operational by Jan. 1, 2014. Gross said that the contract is still to be signed because Motorola — the county’s current vendor for radio services — is

building a new radio data system for the government and as part of that work may be able to help officials locate the towers, savings the funds in the proposed Ross & Barruzini contract. Recent federal changes in the availability of radio communications frequencies mean local governments across the country must re-evaluate their emergency communications needs. St. Charles County is using that opportunity, Gross said, to require all law enforcement, fire department, ambulance, and public works offices to unite their systems into a county-wide network. “I think it’s a good idea. It makes sense,” said Lake Saint Louis Mayor Mike Potter, despite LSL being identified as a city where a 300-foot to 400-foot tall tower will be installed. In a previous report, MRN had incorrectly reported the tower would be 3,400 feet tall. It regrets the error. Using existing towers and building new ones requires precise calculation to provide effective service, Gross said. Complicating the process of locating the antennas is the need to work with multiple local governmental bodies and property owners.

Cottleville’s Zombie Walk to benefit autism school By Mary Ann O’Toole Holley October: the season of the witch. Trees start to shed their leaves. There’s a crunching beneath your feet as you walk the Dardenne Greenway Trail in the dark of night and suddenly a rustling in the bushes brings… oh no! Zombies. “Zombies are in,” said Cottleville Mayor Don Yarber. “These zombie events have become extremely popular and we’ve had requests to do this in our own city.” Paul Wegeng, owner of the Babylon Bar and Restaurant in Cottleville, approached Yarber with the same idea. Now, the city of Cottleville and Wegeng are collaborating on a Zombie Walk fundraiser that will help the Center for Autism Education in O’Fallon. “One of my servers mentioned entering a zombie run. I wanted to do something for the school, and the trail is perfect,” said Wegeng. “It exposes some of the cool things about Cottleville, they just built a new trail from Cottleville’s Legacy Park to Mid Rivers Mall Drive, and it’s a great spot for a zombie fundraiser.” Wegeng said his drive to help the school is because of the help the school gave his niece and her family. “My niece is autistic, and she’s 21 now, but never said a word in her life until that

school got her to say her first words at age 17,” Wegeng said. “Think of how you’d feel as a father to never have heard your daughter call you ‘daddy?’” Wegeng said her niece was one of the first students attending the school, but since then, the student population has grown to 50 students. “I’m doing it because it’s a cause close to my heart,” Wegeng said. Yarber and Wegeng urge everyone to come out for the Zombie Walk and enjoy some ghoulish sights while walking the twisting turns of the Greenway Trail. The one-mile walk will take participants on a “stroll” or run if so compelled, as zombies, in costume of course, move out from the most surprising places, scaring he bejeebers out of you and your friends or family. Yarber said 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the Center for Autism Education in O’Fallon. He said the fundraiser will not just be loads of fun; it will help raise awareness of autism issues. Yarber said he didn’t plan to volunteer as a zombie, but will be there to welcome those participating. “The Greenway Trail is nicely blacktopped and there are plenty of places for the zombies to hang out,” Yarber said. “It

should be a lot of fun for a good cause.” The Zombie Walk will take those brave enough through the 1-mile trail from Cottleville’s Legacy Park to the Babylon Bar at 4744 Mid Rivers Mall Drive. The frightfully fun evening begins at 5 p.m. Oct. 20. Cost is $20 per person in advance and $25 the night of the event, and each participant will receive a special Zombieville T-Shirt. Participants may register in advance at Cottleville City Hall, at the Babylon or online, and may also register at The Babylon one hour prior to your zombie start time. Because of the crowd expected, there will be two start times: 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. from Legacy Park. Those registering at the Babylon will be shuttled to Legacy Park. Those who survive the brain-eating zombies will follow the haunted trail back to The Babylon where an after party will be hosted for participants ages 21 or older. Two live bands will entertain. Remember, though, that there are rules and regulations when dealing with zombies: comfortable clothing, good walking shoes and a strong ability to stay cool under frightful pressure. A silent raffle will also be held at The Babylon with all proceeds going to the school. For more information or to register online visit Cottlevillezombiewalk.com.

FZSD establishes new requirement for its A+ program By Amy Armour Fort Zumwalt students participating in the A+ program will have to prove their mathematical skills in order to receive funding for the first semester of college. A new requirement set by the Missouri Department of Higher Education will require students graduating in 2015 and beyond to score “proficient” in an Algebra 1 end of the year course in order to receive their A+ program tuition benefits immediately. “Test scores are reported back based on four levels of achievement; Below Basic, Basic, Proficient and Advanced. A student is considered advanced if they score at the Proficient or Advanced Levels – The top two achievement levels,” said Jackie Floyd, superintendent of curriculum and instruction for the Fort Zumwalt School District. Students who fail to score at least proficient in the end-of-the-year course will have to pay for the first semester of college, and wait one semester to receive their benefits.

Cottlestock on hiatus for now By Mary Ann O’Toole Holley Woodstock may have been a historic success, despite financial disaster that put promoters in debt to the tune of $1.6 million, but Cottlestock promoters say “no way.” “Conditions just aren’t right for Cottlestock this year,” Mayor Don Yarber said. So, put away those tie-dyes, bell bottoms and blue tinted ‘granny glasses.’ Yarber says the much-anticipated Cottlestock is taking a hiatus again this year because “the time is not right.” “We’ve got no stage, we’ve got no restrooms built,” Yarber said, regarding the Jaycee’s Amphitheater at Legacy Park. “And it’s just not a good time financially to be doing things like that.” Legacy Park opened in 2009, including a playground, special needs “Liberty Swing,” and a dog park. The Cottleville-Weldon Spring Rotary Club is currently raising funds to construct the stage and concession/restroom area. Cottlestock debuted in 2010. The city’s two-day family-friendly rock ‘n roll music festival on the green hillsides of the 37-acre park was an idea spawned by Yarber. The event drew about 3,000 people, a gaggle of local musicians performed and guests were invited to camp in the city’s 37-acre park. In 2011, the event was canceled.

50 hours of unpaid tutoring to students in approved settings, have a 95-percent attendance rate throughout the four years of high school, have good citizenship and attend an A+ school for three consecutive years. Participants who successfully complete the A+ program are eligible to receive reimbursement for college tuition at a public community college or trade school in Missouri. The Fort Zumwalt Board of Education decided at its Aug. 20 meeting to allow stu-

dents the opportunity to take the test again following the completion of Algebra II. Floyd said she talked with several math teachers to determine the best time for a student to re-take the test and successfully score proficient. “It’s better to let the child mature a little bit, learn a little more math and take it again,” Floyd said. Board Member Renee Porter said she was concerned that if the student could not pass the end-of-the-year math test with a proficient score, the student would struggle

in future math classes. But Floyd said in talking with the other math teachers, the end-of-the-year test is just one of many indicators taken into account for a successful future in math. Floyd said the district would also work with individual cases or get tutoring for students who struggled taking the test. Students currently enrolled part time would also now be eligible to participate in the A+ program if physically attending school at least four hours each day.

From that foundation, we began construction with one focus — our neighbors in St. Charles County. That’s why our easy-to-get-to location just south of highway 70 is more than a structure.

LSL Ambassadors plan to ‘out-fun’ last year’s Oktoberfest There are fundraisers and there are fun fundraisers. The Lake Saint Louis Ambassadors opt for the fun factor in all its pursuits – including the annual Oktoberfest the group will stage for the second year in a row. The goal is to raise money for the annual community fireworks show they help host every July 4th along with the Lake Saint Louis Community Association, the city of Lake Saint Louis and a host of their many other community activities and sponsorships. Last year’s one-day Oktoberfest was such a success the group has decided to double down, said President Karen Little. To be held two days this year, Oct. 6 and Oct. 7, the expanded event has had to move to the Shoppes at Hawk Ridge, at the intersection of Hwy. 40 and Hwy. N, where it will take up large segments of the Lowe’s parking lots and the adjoining empty lot currently owned by Dierbergs. “One thing we learned last year is that folks enjoy having a good time,” said CoChairman John Bloecher, who is assisted by his wife, Joan. “And, if there’s one thing the Ambassadors do well, it’s have a good time,” Little said. So there will be more of everything

event-goers enjoyed from last year’s event. Instead of one band, there will be three — Memphis Ride, Pozer and the German band Deutschmeisters. More children’s activities are scheduled, including carnival rides, a bounce house, games, pony rides and a petting zoo. There will also be lots of food, from pulled pork and fried turkey legs to funnel cakes and fried Twinkies. Visitors can choose from a variety of soft drinks and the ever-popular beer tent. In addition, 100 vendors will be onsite selling everything from crafts to fine leather goods to handmade wooden furniture. “There’s going to be something for everyone,” Little said. “If you can’t find it here, you don’t want it.” The one-day event last year drew a crowd of more than 3,500. Little said she expects the weekend event to bring more than 15,000 people to the area. Oktoberfest will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. “This is going to be a family-friendly, community-based fun activity,” Little said. “It will be a festival to remember.” Festival-goers will also have the chance to win one of four raffle prizes. Firestone Complete Auto Care in Lake Saint Louis

has donated a set of four tires with a value of more than $500. Raffles prizes also include $250 worth of movie tickets for the Wehrenberg Theatre in Dardenne Prairie, a set of men’s golf clubs and a stay-cation vacation package close to home. “It’s just amazing how much the community has pulled together to support this event,” Little said.

For more information, visit www. lslambassadors.com or call Bloecher at 314-605-6111; Little can be contacted via e-mail at klittle4@centurytel.net or by calling 240-3850. Little added, “Everyone is invited to come and enjoy the fun. There’s no need to drive to Hermann to be German – you can do it right in your own neighborhood.”

Bu llet i n Boa rd Scholarships offered College students apply now College students from Lincoln, Pike, St. Charles and Warren counties are encouraged to apply for a Cuivre River Electric Cooperative (CREC) Operation Round Up scholarship. Last June, 57 undergraduate students received a total of $29,000 in scholarships from the Cuivre River Electric Community Trust Board to help pursue fall semester studies. This year, the scholarship deadline is Oct. 1. Students are eligible to be considered if they live in the Cuivre River service area and maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5 while attending undergraduate courses at an accredited university or technical school. The scholarship may also be used for adult continuing education courses in their career fields. Applicants are asked to provide an official transcript, two letters of recommendation, write a narrative to highlight their academic achievements and community service, state their career goals and demonstrate a financial need. Scholarship funds are donated by CREC members who participate in Operation Round Up by rounding up their electric bill payments each month to the next highest dollar. Since the program began in 1997, more than $750,000 has been awarded to help over 1,590 area students achieve their academic goals.

Fort Zumwalt Future student screenings The Fort Zumwalt School District is currently scheduling screening appointments for children entering kindergarten in the fall of 2013. School officials said an early

screening is beneficial towards preparing children for kindergarten. The one-hour screening will include an assessment of large and small muscle skills, speech and language use, concept knowledge, as well as a vision and hearing screening. Day and evening appointments are available. To schedule a child’s appointment, call 474-8445.

Wentzville Proposition progress This fall thousands of students in the Wentzville School District are benefiting from Proposition 3 construction efforts during the past year. Voters in the Wentzville School District approved Proposition 3 in April 2011. The 30-cent tax levy had a purpose of adding the space necessary to sustain the full-day kindergarten program, add middle-school-classroom space and build a new high school. This year, 75 new classrooms are being used for the first time. The addition of kindergarten classrooms has allowed the district to continue offering full-day kindergarten for the third year. “After Wentzville moved to a full-day kindergarten program, I noticed that the first graders were where they should be, their fine motor skills including control over their media (pencil, crayon, paintbrush, etc…) were more developed, and they seemed more used to simply being in school. In short, I could do more with them, and can now better enrich their elementary art experience,” said Sarah Bayless, art teacher. District enrollment has increased by more

than 600 new students again this school year, and the WSD continues to be the fastest growing school district in the state of Missouri. The district has added classrooms at seven different elementary schools and two middle schools, and construction also continues on the new high school.

Lutheran High School School receives $400,000 grant The backpack loads are a little lighter this year at both Lutheran High School North and Lutheran High School South. For the first time ever, all 830 students at both schools are using school-issued Apple iPads. The 1.5-pound iPads contain some of the heavyweight textbooks, including chemistry, algebra and geometry. In addition to engaging students in the technology of the work world, it also helps both schools go green by lightening the load of paper as students receive assignments and turn them in using the iPads. Each student is charged a $200 technology fee for the iPad that includes apps and insurance. The schools – operated by the Lutheran High School Association – purchased the iPads thanks to a grant of nearly $400,000 from the Lutheran Foundation of St. Louis to advance the schools’ “one-to-one” technology initiative, which offers all students and teachers continuous access to an array of digital learning resources. “Today’s students learn and engage in education differently because they grow up immersed in the digital world. It is important to engage and teach them in the same manner they communicate, collaborate and create things every day,” said Tim Hipenbecker, president of the Lutheran High School Association. “Higher levels of achievement will result from the effective integration of tech-

nology in the learning environment.” To learn more about the iPad program, visit www.lhsn.org. or www.lhssonline.org.

Francis Howell Knightline Dance Clinic The Francis Howell North Knightline is inviting all K through eighth-grade girls to participate in its Dance Clinic at Francis Howell North High School. Participants will learn one routine and will perform with Knightline at a home varsity football game, Oct. 5. The clinic will be held from 9 a.m. to noon, Sept. 29, at the FHNHS gymnasium. Cost is $30 per girl. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., with a ‘parents performance’ at 11:45 a.m. For more information, or to register early, call Brenda Landers at 288-2443.

Choir sings at Busch Stadium Students from the Francis Howell High School (FHHS) Viking Choirs took the field at Busch Stadium on Aug. 14 to sing the National Anthem prior to the St. Louis Cardinals baseball game vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks. Led by FHHS Choir Director Karey Fitzpatrick, the students received a warm welcome and hearty applause from the Cardinal and Diamondback fans in attendance.

Players score high in academics The Francis Howell North (FHN) High School girls’ varsity volleyball team is the recipient of the 2011-12 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award. FHN was one of 536 teams to receive this award for the 2011-12 season. The AVCA academic award honors teams who have matched their dedication to the sport of volleyball with excellence in the classroom.

Spor t s Tony Glavin: Hall of Fame bound By Warren Mayes The distance from Glasgow, Scotland to St. Louis is 3,934 miles. It’s also a lifetime ago for Tony Glavin. Glavin came to the United States when he was 19 to play soccer. He came to St. Louis in 1982 and he’s stayed. “When someone asks where I’m from, I still say Glasgow, but St. Louis has been my home for 32 year and I think of St. Louis as my home,” said Glavin, who still speaks with a strong Scottish brogue. And his not-so-new hometown is proud to have him. On Sept. 27, he will be inducted into the St. Louis Soccer Hall of Fame. Being inducted with Glavin are Scott Bettlach, Gary Guarino, Robert Hermann, Maureen McVey, Jim Niehoff, Lou Pessoni, Lou Pessoni, Rick Stockmann, Matt Weiss, Steve Westbrook and the late John Casey. The announcement of his induction into the HoF caught the soccer forward and midfielder for 31 years off guard. “A little bit, yeah,” Glavin said. “I knew I had been nominated. Still, it was a surprise. There are so many names that are deserving of going into the Hall of Fame. I’m proud to be included.” Interestingly enough, Glavin got the news while he was in Chicago, waiting to catch a plane to Glasgow. “My wife, (Sandy), texted me about the Hall of Fame,” Glavin said. “She congratulated me as she passed the news about it on to me. It was quite exciting. “To be recognized for soccer and not being from St. Louis means a lot to me. I’m a transplant. I came her 32 years ago in October. It’s so nice to be recognized where I make my home, here. The fact of being in involved in the game of soccer in St. Louis, it’s been great. Soccer has been very good to me.” Glavin spent time in the Scottish Football League with both Queen’s Park and Hamilton Academical. He came to the United States and played in the North American Soccer League and the Major Indoor Soccer League. He was 19 when he signed with the NASL’s Philadelphia Fury. He also played for the St. Louis Steamers and the Kansas City Comets in the MISL. He had great success with the Steamers. He was the team MVP in the 1980-81 season. He scored the most goals in 1983 and was named the Best Offensive Player that year as well. He won the 110 Percent Award in 1984. Twice Glavin was named an all-star. In the 1980-81 game, Glavin was voted as the Third Star of the game with two goals scored. The next year, he was the all-star captain and was voted the MVP with three

goals and two assists. “I certainly have enjoyed my time here,” Glavin said. “I was young and it was a great opportunity for me here. The fans were fantastic. The buzz that the city had with the Steamers was fantastic. “Those are some good memories to have for me. The fact there were two newspapers in the Globe-Democrat and the Post-Dispatch at that time and we were covered on a daily basis along with TV stations. It was great.” Glavin also has been a professional coach. In February 1987, the Steamers fired head coach Pat McBride and replaced him with Glavin. In August 1990, he was hired to coach the Dayton Dynamo of the American Indoor Soccer Association. He turned to developing young players. He founded the “Tony Glavin Soccer Club” in Cottleville. In December 2005, the United Soccer Leagues awarded a franchise to Glavin and his partners, which became the St. Louis Lions. Glavin has been the head coach of the team since then. All that came about because he took a chance leaving Scotland to come to America. “It’s quite funny. I had no intentions of leaving Scotland or England,” Glavin said. “I wanted to further my career in England.” At the induction ceremony, Glavin will be recognized for all of his contributions to soccer. He said he will not be at a loss for words. “I guess if you give me a microphone, I could be on there forever,” Glavin quipped. “I will recognize the people who have been influential in my career. I plan to enjoy it. “It’s a great honor. I’m being recognized by peers and, being from outside the area, the people look at me now like I am St. Louis.”

Strep throat guidelines updated Although people often say they have “strep” throat, most sore throats actually are caused by a virus, not streptococcus bacteria, and should not be treated with antibiotics, according to new information from the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA). The IDSA’s newly revised guidelines for strep throat advise that when a strep infection is confirmed by testing, it should be treated with penicillin or amoxicillin if the patient does not have an allergy. The guidelines recommend that children who suffer from recurrent strep throat should not have their tonsils surgically removed solely to reduce the frequency of infection. About 15 million people in the U.S. see the doctor for a sore throat every year and as many as 70 percent receive antibiotics, although a much smaller percentage actually have strep throat: approximately 20 to 30 percent of children and just 5 to 15 percent of adults, according to the IDSA. The guidelines note that children and adults do not need to be tested for strep if they have a cough, runny nose, hoarseness and mouth sores, which are strong signs of a viral throat infection. A sore throat is more likely to be caused by strep if the pain comes on suddenly, swallowing hurts and the sufferer has a fever without the above listed features, but should be confirmed through testing before antibiotics are prescribed. Because strep throat is uncommon in children 3 years old or younger, they do not need to be tested, according to the IDSA. Experts weigh in on diet apps With all of the diet and nutrition apps available for smartphone users, it can be hard to discern which are best for managing one’s health. To help consumers choose wisely, three registered dieticians from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics have provided science-based reviews of the most popular free dietary apps for the iPhone, rating them on a scale of 1-5 stars. Dietician Marisa Moore reviewed apps for diabetes and gave 5-star ratings to two apps: Blood Sugar Tracker, which she said allows users to easily log blood sugar levels, set target blood glucose ranges and view history and simple graphs to quickly identify out-ofrange numbers; and Vree for Diabetes, which enables tracking for blood glucose, nutrition, activity, medication and blood pressure, and also features progress charts. Jessica Crandall reviewed the top-rated apps for gluten-free eating and gave her top rating (4.5 stars) to Gluten Free Daily, an online guide built to provide education and resources about following a gluten-free diet. Crandall gave a 4-star rating to Eating Out G-Free,

which includes tips on finding a gluten-free menu, creating a gluten-free shopping list, and staying gluten-free when eating out. Sarah Krieger gave MyFitness Pal’s Calorie Counter & Diet Tracker her top rating (4.5 stars). The app tracks a combination of fitness goals and offers nutrition analysis features to help users lose weight.

OVER 6 OF CHANYGEINARS LIVES G

I am writing this letter to all of you who figure that it is not necessary to have a personal trainer. To those of you who say, “I can certainly workout myself. I am disciplined enough and truthfully do not really want to spend the money.” Before I came to Fitness Together I tried Zumba classes. I couldn’t get my feet off the ground, my balance was not so good and I was huffing and puffing. I finally said, “This will not do!” Fitness Together has helped me be accountable to myself. I have an appointment each week that I will not cancel, regardless of my workload or any other obligation. Fitness Together has helped me do my exercises correctly so that I get the most benefit and they are incredible motivators. I do not want to let my trainers down but more importantly they help me to not let myself down. I am thrilled I have been able to get off my high blood pressure meds completely! I truly look forward to my PRIVATE personal training sessions. At 56 years old, I love how absolutely awesome this makes me feel! Fitness Together is one of the best decisions and best investments I have ever made for myself and my well-being.

Still air worthy

St. Charles County’s own B-25 has team of dedicated caregivers By Glen M. Sparks Keeping a B-25 “Mitchell” bomber in proper flying shape takes time and tools, plus a good supply of gasoline and engine oil. These World War II aircraft burn 150 gallons of gasoline and two gallons of oil every hour. “If the engine’s not leaking oil, it’s out of oil,” Pat Kesler said only half-jokingly about the 67-yearold medium-range bomber on display at St. Charles County Airport/Smartt Field. Fortunately, the Missouri Wing of the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) can count on plenty of volunteer members to refill the oil and perform a long list of other chores. The Wing, part of a national group based in Midland, Texas, has about 140 members. Long-time volunteers include Bud Eberhardt, Pat Fenwick, Steve Gossett, Jim Lammert, Bob Moore and Lou Tacchi. (Go to the group’s web site at www.cafmo.org. for more information.) “To join the Wing, you don’t need to be a mechanic,” said Kesler, a former military and commercial pilot who serves as the Missouri Air Force’s Wing Leader. “You just need to be able to turn a wrench and be willing to get your hands dirty. The guys and gals do this because they love airplanes, and they love history.” Kesler, a St. Charles County resident, figures that only about 30 B-25s worldwide still take that occasional cruise up by the clouds. “And we have one of the best,” he said. “People who know about this stuff will see our plane at air shows and tell us it’s one of the best looking World War II planes that they’ve seen.” The pity is that more people do not drop by to see this and other war birds that sit so lovingly restored in the airport hangars at Smartt Field. Besides the Mitchell, the Missouri Wing boasts a TBM “Avenger” torpedo bomber and an L-3 “Grasshopper” liaison aircraft. Next to the airplane hangars is a museum filled with World War II-era military uniforms, artifacts, old newspapers and dioramas. The museum and hangars are open for 10 a.m. until 2:30 p.m., Tuesdays and Saturdays. Unfortunately, on most days, attendance is more of a trickle than a torrent. “You can get on the Internet and Google ‘World War II,’” Kesler says. “But this is history right here.” On a warm Tuesday afternoon, Kesler sat in the pilot’s seat and looked out the Mitchell’s Plexiglas cockpit windshield, past the hangar and to the runway beyond. This certainly is a plane worthy of the history books. The B-25 was named in honor of the late Brig. Gen. William “Billy” Mitchell, an early proponent of U.S. air power whose outspoken comments on this topic eventually got him court-martialed. Also, Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle led his famous “30 Seconds over Tokyo” raid with a team of 16 modified B-25s that took off aboard the U.S.S. Hornet aircraft carrier on April 18, 1942. Most B-25s flew in the South Pacific Theater during the war, although many also flew over North Africa and in Europe, especially Italy.

The Wing acquired its Mitchell more than 30 years ago. Appropriately named SHOW ME, the aircraft was built by North American Aviation in Kansas City, Kan., in 1944. Workers in Long Beach, Calif., later converted it into a navigation trainer. SHOW ME measures nearly 53 feet with a wing span of almost 68 feet. The adventurous can pay $395 to take a 30-minute flight in SHOW ME. Besides Kesler, pilots include Matt Conrad, Craig O’Mara and David Thompsen. But it’s better not to expect the creature comforts of a 747 wide body. This was a plane built for combat, not for comfort. Kesler puts it simply: “It was a war bird. It was built for the war, and it’s a mean-looking aircraft.” Wing pilots take the Mitchell to about 20 air shows every year. Loud cheers from people of all ages greet the crew each time this plane descends onto a runway. “We get treated like royalty,” Kesler says. “People love this plane.” Sometimes, but not as often as in the past, World War II veterans look on as the aircraft sits on the runway. Kesler recalls one poignant afternoon at an air show in Little Rock, Ark. He walked up to a man, about 85-years old, wearing a hat that displayed the famous Air Apaches insignia. The gentleman mentioned that he had flown B-25 missions in such South Pacific hotspots as New Guinea and Burma, places full of Japanese Zero airplanes in the air and deadly machine gunners on the ground. He was a veteran of the 345th Bomb Group, the same unit that the Missouri Wing’s Mitchell represents and honors. “Can I touch it (the plane)?” the man asked. He was a former B-25 crewmember, he said. “His wife said, ‘He was a pilot,’” Kesler recalled. “Wow, this man was one of the few actual surviving B-25 pilots from WWII.” Kesler said he asked the man if he would like to sit in the cockpit. “Oh, my! Can I really do that?” the man asked. Kesler said the humble, aging veteran from the Greatest Generation climbed up the entrance ladder and sat down in the left-hand seat, the aircraft commander’s seat. The man did not recall much about those flying days from 60-plus years ago, but he did begin to weep. After a minute of quiet, he apologized and said he was just thinking of his heroes - his wartime buddies who didn’t make it back from the South Pacific. It was an emotional moment for everyone, Kesler said. He hopes that people of all ages do not forget the sacrifices of the nation’s World War II veterans and that interest in this conflict doesn’t fade. “We should always remember what these guys did and what they saw. They’re the ones responsible for our freedom today,” Kesler said. “That’s why it is so important for volunteers like we have at the Missouri Wing to keep these great symbols of freedom airworthy. We’ll keep ’em flying for decades to come and feel privileged while doing so.”

Pent-up demand is pushing home sales and home prices. More home sale contracts were signed in July than any month in the past two years and increased demand is finally beginning to have an impact on home prices. This is confirmed by reports from the Missouri Association of Realtors and real estate data company CoreLogic. The Realtors group says that the number of homes sold in July increased year-over-year by 19 percent, from 5,014 last year to 5,977 in 2012. July marks the seventh consecutive month of year-over-year gains. Home prices in St. Louis rose 2.5 percent between June and July, according to CoreLogic. Here’s what’s new in new homes: Fresh crop of displays at Consort Homes’ Countryshire Fall home shoppers will find a bountiful harvest of fresh ideas as Consort Homes’ Countryshire the first weekend in October. The 392-homesite community is now twothirds sold, in large part due to its location on Sommers Road, just south of Hwy. N, a halfmile west of I-64/40, and close to Lake Saint Louis’ shopping complexes. Organized into three sections – Countryshire Estates, Countryshire Manors and Countryshire Townes, the development showcases the builder’s single-family and townhome collections. Bill Wannstedt, Consort Homes’ director of operations, said, “Now that the housing market is on the upswing, we wanted a fresh look for Countryshire, and this was the perfect opportunity to introduce our latest designs.” On Oct. 6, the three-bedroom Madison ranch and the Kennesaw 1.5-story will debut. Both displays represent Consort’s seven-plan Hometown Series, which is base priced from $187,900. The 1,764-squarefoot Madison will be shown with a traditional brick elevation and a variety of the new flooring and color selections. In addition to its main-floor master suite, the 2,352-square-foot Kennesaw features a great room/kitchen/casual dining area, work island and a bonus room on the upper level. Arrange to see all of Countryshire’s design collections by calling 636-561-0947.

to select two options packages free during the month of September. McKelvey Homes President Jim Brennan, said, “To show our appreciation, we are offering buyers the chance to ‘pick a pair’ of options to personalize their brand-new McKelvey home. “Choose from our list of some of the most sought-after options: granite countertops; hardwood floors in the kitchen, breakfast room and hearth room; walkout lower level; ceramic tile package in the master bath; stainless-steel appliances, and free closing costs.” The “Pick a Pair” total value ranges from $8,000 to $12,000. The Birthday Blowout cannot be combined with any other offers, and some restrictions apply. “We pride ourselves on our impressive designs, top-notch construction and some of the best locations in St. Charles, St. Louis and North Counties. Plus, our buyers have peace of mind knowing that McKelvey has been a solid and respected builder for 114 years,” said Brennan. “We invite everyone to visit any of our 11 communities during our Ultimate Birthday Blowout and see the ‘McKelvey Way’ first-hand.” Visit mckelveyhomes.com.

Payne Family Homes in The Hamptons Payne Family Homes has just announced the acquisition of a limited number of sites in The Hamptons, a gated enclave on Hemsath Road in St. Charles County. Payne will be offering 12 ranch, story-anda-half, and two-story designs from its Lifestyle Collection, available with three-car garages on certain homesites. Floor plans range from 1,627 to 3,388 square feet, and lower levels can be finished for additional entertainment and bedroom space.

Light a blessed candle. Ask St. Claire for 3 favors, 2 impossible & 1 for money. Say 9 Hail Marys for 9 days. Promise publication. God of Mercy, you inspired St. Claire with the love of poverty. By the help of her prayers, may we follow Christ in poverty of spirit and come to the joyful vision of your glory in the Kingdom of Heaven. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ., Your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen. O Glorious St. Claire, God has given you the power of working miracles continually, and favor of answering the prayers of those who invoke your assistance in misfortune, anxiety, and distress. We beseech you, obtain for us from Jesus, through Mary, his Blessed Mother, what we beg of you so fervently and hopefully. If it be for the greater honor and glory of God and for the good of our souls. Amen. Please hear my Novena St. Claire. I believe in the power of prayer and miracles. Thank you St. Claire! RC
