A return to Keynes? The nomination of Janet Yellen to become head of the Federal Reserve System has set off a flurry of media stories. Since she will be the first woman to occupy that position, we can only hope that this will not mean that any criticism of what she does will be attributed to sex bias or to a “war on women.” The Federal Reserve has become such a major player in the American economy that it needs far more scrutiny and criticism than it has received, regardless of who heads it. Yellen, a former professor of economics at Berkeley, has openly proclaimed her views on economic policy, and those views deserve very careful scrutiny. She asks, “Will capitalist economies operate at full employment in the absence of routine intervention?” And she answers, “Certainly not.” Yellen represents the Keynesian economics that once dominated economic theory and policy like a national religion – until it encountered two things: Milton Friedman and the stagflation of the 1970s. At the height of the Keynesian influence, it was widely believed that government policy-makers could choose a judicious tradeoff between the inflation rate and the rate of unemployment. This trade-off was called the Phillips Curve, in honor of an economist at the London School of Economics. Prof. Milton Friedman of the University of Chicago attacked the Phillips Curve, both theoretically and empirically. When Friedman received the Nobel Prize in economics – the first of many to go to Chicago economists, who were the primary critics of Keynesian economics – it seemed as if the idea of a trade-off between the inflation rate and the unemployment rate might be laid to rest. The ultimate discrediting of this Phillips Curve theory was the rising inflation and unemployment, at the same time in the 1970s, in what came to be called “stagflation” – a combination of rising inflation and a stagnant economy with high unemployment. Nevertheless, the Keynesian economists have staged a political comeback during the Obama administration. Yellen’s nomination to head the Federal Reserve is the crowning example of that comeback. Yellen asks, “Do policy-makers have the knowledge and ability to improve macroeconomic outcomes rather than making

matters worse?” And she answers, “Yes.” The former economics professor is certainly asking the right questions – and giving the wrong answers. Her first question, whether free market economies can achieve full employment without government intervention, is a purely factual question that can be answered from history. For the first 150 years of the United States, there was no policy of federal intervention when the economy turned down. No depression during all that time was as catastrophic as the Great Depression of the 1930s, when both the Federal Reserve System and Presidents Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt intervened in the economy on a massive and unprecedented scale. Despite the myth that it was the stock market crash of 1929 that caused the double-digit unemployment of the 1930s, unemployment never reached double digits in any of the 12 months that followed the 1929 stock market crash. Unemployment peaked at 9 percent in December 1929 and was back down to 6.3 percent by June 1930, when the first major federal intervention took place under Herbert Hoover. The unemployment decline then reversed, rising to hit double digits six months later. As Hoover and then FDR continued to intervene, double-digit unemployment persisted throughout the remainder of the 1930s. Conversely, when President Warren G. Harding faced an annual unemployment rate of 11.7 percent in 1921, he did absolutely nothing, except for cutting government spending. Keynesian economists would say that this was exactly the wrong thing to do. History, however, says that unemployment the following year went down to 6.7 percent – and, in the year after that, 2.4 percent. Under Calvin Coolidge, the ultimate in non-interventionist government, the annual unemployment rate got down to 1.8 percent. How does the track record of Keynesian intervention compare to that?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Veterans
Toxic smoke
To the Editor: This is in reply to the editorial “Don’t pick and choose veterans” (MRN, Aug. 28, 2013) but not totally related to that article. I have another situation that I feel is picking and choosing between our veterans. My husband is a World War II veteran of the European theater. He fought in a war that had to be fought and saved the world from Hitler and the Japanese invaders. This was the greatest of our men and women in arms to defend our country and the world. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge and in Germany and other places. It was bitter winter and he suffered bleeding feet and other problems from sitting in ice cold water with no way to dry out. The officers wanted to send him to the field hospital but he refused, not wanting to leave his unit. The fact that he did that is not on record since his records burned up in the fire in 1973 at the Records Center in St. Louis, Mo. We have a notarized letter acknowledging this fact. Now he is residing in the VA home in north county and has applied for financial aid for his feet problems. The VA has acknowledged that his injuries resulted from the war but said they could not give him $255 per month for this because they decided he was not 10-percent or more disabled by it. He has been disabled by this problem ever since the war and at times was in pain from it, could not put on his socks, and had to visit doctors about it all the time. He spent a lot of money trying to control the problem all these years. He also suffered nightmares, wakeful nights and upset for years over the death he saw all around him. His children will attest to this because he told them. He also lost hearing in his ears from the huge guns firing off near him. He is not really asking anything for these problems. He was 18 when they drafted him and he did his duty to the fullest. Why should one veteran receive aid and another with a definite disability not? This is a World War II veteran, age 90. There should be no hold out of aid for te remainder of these gallant soldiers. They are dying by the hundreds every day and a lost generation. Why are we discriminating against them? Lois F. Caldarola
To the Editor: According to the article, “St Charles County Council puts smoking ban on hold”, (MRN, Oct. 9, 2013), the St Charles County Council is in a quandary over air quality and secondhand smoke issues inside private business establishments. That’s commendable, however, the County Council seems to have no problem with land owners in certain unincorporated areas of St. Charles County burning trash, leaves, tree branches and what ever refuse the land owner wants to convert into a lung and eye burning cloud of toxic smoke for the residents in the cities of St Peters, O’Fallon and Cottleville to inhale. There is a small area of unincorporated St. Charles County nestled between these heavily populated suburban areas in the southwest corner of St. Peters along Birdie Hill road between Ohmes and Knaust roads, where apparently, with the blessing of the St. Charles County government, it is still popular and acceptable to burn any amount of refuse a person wants whenever they want. Any time of the year, usually in the evening, the valley our subdivision encompasses can become an environmental disaster, replete with floating ashes and choking smoke as residents shut the windows to their homes and keep their children indoors. We call the fire department and they have to waste their valuable time and taxpayer funds with this nonsense, telling these people that their burning waste will have to be stopped. A day or so later it happens again. This isn’t fireplace or barbecue smoke, these are trash fires that, when viewed from the top of a hill, cover our valley with dense smoke. If the County Council is so concerned about regulating or stopping altogether, secondhand smoke in a private business, then they should be at least as concerned about the respiratory health of thousands of residents that are exposed, sometimes weekly, to this open air environmental nightmare. This isn’t the year 1930 and it’s time to stop the outdoor burning of waste in heavily populated areas of suburban St. Charles County and the County Council should act to make it completely illegal. Greg DaLay St Peters CORRECTION: A story in the Oct. 9, 2013 edition of MRN, regarding O’Fallon not adding fluoride in the city’s drinking water incorrectly referenced hydrosulphloric citric acid. The description of the chemical was correct, however the scientific name was not. MRN regrets the error.

News Br iefs O’FALLON Gala benefits St. Dominic The 26th annual Evening of the Crusader Dinner Auction Gala will be held on Nov. 9 at St. Dominic High School’s Family Center in O’Fallon. The evening will include elegant cuisine, refreshing spirits and a chance to win a variety of unique items, such as exotic vacation getaways, fine jewelry, sports and theatre tickets, spa packages and professional services. “Dinner with Archbishop Carlson is one of our prize auction items that guests will have the opportunity to bid on this year,” said Kristy Hagan, event co-chair. Tickets are $65 per person, and a large portion of the proceeds will help students by bridging the gap between the cost to educate and tuition expenses. It will also assist with purchasing a state-of-the-art security system installed at St. Dominic High School this year. The evening starts with Mass at 4:45 p.m. in the Father Bob Lane Chapel on campus. Doors open at 5 p.m. and guests can begin viewing the auction items up for bid. The complimentary bar opens at 5 p.m. and dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. The live auction is scheduled to kick-off at 7:30 p.m. For more information, contact Teresa Boehmer at 544-1638.
Preparing for the holidays Fort Zumwalt Park in O’Fallon closed to vehicles on Oct. 14 so crews could safely install holiday lights and scenes for the city’s annual Celebration of Lights display. “Kicking the holidays off with Celebration of Lights has become a tradition for many O’Fallon families, and this year’s display promises to be our best yet. We’ll have new 3-D elements to many of the
displays,” said Tom Drabelle, director of public relations for the city. “Plus, this year you can see the lights in an entirely new way by making a reservation to ride a Segway through the park. It’s a unique and fun way to experience the event.” The public is invited to drive through the Celebration of Lights display starting at 6 p.m. on Nov. 29. The display will be open nightly through Dec. 30, with the exception of Dec. 25. The event, which is sponsored by the city of O’Fallon with help from local businesses, helps raise funds for participating not-for-profit organizations. The park will remain open to pedestrians who want to use the asphalt walking and jogging path through the park during daylight hours. The park will reopen to traffic on Jan. 20, 2014.
Volunteers recognized The city of O’Fallon showed appreciation to its nearly 2,500 volunteers at the 17th annual Volunteer Recognition Banquet held on Oct.4. The city’s Volunteer Services Department awards recognized volunteer hours and contributions in helping with city events, recreational programs, special projects and assisting city staff. “Since the Volunteer Services program began in 2000, more than 22,000 citizen volunteers have contributed 224,000 hours of their personal time, which equates to nearly $ 4.5 million in added services to O’Fallon residents,” said Kathy Halstead, volunteer coordinator for the city at the banquet. “Each and every volunteer in this room has their own personal reason for volunteering. They may envision a better community, want to socialize with neighbors, or perhaps have a special cause that drives them. But each and every volunteer here is united in their belief

that O’Fallon is the place they want to contribute; it’s the place in their hearts.” For outstanding leadership and service benefiting the community and beyond, O’Fallon Mayor Bill Hennessy named Sharon Vermilye, chairperson of the city’s Historic Preservation Commission, as “2013 Ambassador of the Year,” and Jamie Cronk, Historic Preservation Commission member, as O’Fallon’s “2013 Volunteer of the Year.” The 2013 Motivated Volunteer Professional (MVP) Award was presented to Alex Amend. The 2013 IMPACT Award was presented to Lindell Bank, O’Fallon. The 2013 Family of the Year Award was given to the Johns family. The 2013 Team O’Fallon Excellence Award was presented to O’FallonTV.

The program will return in the spring of 2014. Through this program, St. Charles County residents may safely dispose of household hazardous waste that is typically not collected by curbside recycling programs. “This service is provided to county residents as a convenient way to safely and securely collect potentially hazardous materials that would otherwise end up in landfills or dumped in sewers or drains, which could impact our community’s water supply,” said Doug Bolnick, with St. Charles County Department of Community Health and the Environment. Residents may bring unwanted items like chemicals, automobile fluids, pesticides and oil-based paints to Recycle Works Central located at 60 Triad South Dr. in St. Charles.

Michael L. Johnson for Recklessly Risking Infection of Another when Infected with HIV - a class A Felony. In late May, the St. Charles Police were contacted by the victim who stated that he believed he was infected with the HIV virus by a subject he had met through social media. The subsequent investigation showed that Johnson and the victim were sexually intimate on at least two occasions during which the victim contracted the HIV virus. Medical records showed that Johnson was told that he was positive for the HIV virus in January 2013. According to police, Johnson knew of such infection before engaging in sexual activity with the victim but did not disclose it to him. Johnson, of the 800 block of Cunningham, was a member of the Lindenwood University wrestling team. Although the instances are extremely rare of contracting the virus in that manner, subjects that had contact with Johnson may consider contacting their physicians. Since the first reports of this, others have contacted police. The St. Charles Police Department is also requesting that any other individuals who may have been in an intimate relationship with Johnson to contact the Detective Bureau at 949-3320. Bond has been set at $100,000 cash only.
ST. PETERS Man charged for videotaping teen A 27-year-old St. Peters man has been charged with invasion of privacy after he allegedly videotaped a 16-year-old boy in a public restroom. Kyle Gregory Pressy, a part-time field marshal for the St. Charles County Youth St. Charles County Youth Soccer Association, is accused of videotaping the boy through a peep hole in a bathroom at the Woodlands Sports Park. According to court documents, a video camera was found in the storage area by a referee. The referee looked at the recording in an effort to identify the owner. He contacted police after seeing the bare buttocks of the teen. Police discovered four holes in the men’s restrooms at the concession stands. “The suspect was caught because the camera that was located had a picture of his face on it and we were able to determine he was an employee with SCCYSA,” said Officer Melissa Doss. Police said Pressy admitted to taking the videos.
ST. CHARLES Teen robber caught A St. Charles teen has been charged with robbery in connection to an incident that occurred on Oct. 9.
Louis Johnson, 18, of the 1100 block of Lakeshore, is accused of robbing a woman of her cellphone and wallet in the parking lot in the 1400 block of Lakeshore. The victim told police that the suspect approached her while she was waiting near her disabled vehicle and asked to use her phone. The victim let the suspect use her phone and after a brief moment, the suspect then put his hand in his hoodie pocket and demanded her wallet. Fearing that the suspect could have a weapon, the victim surrendered her wallet and the suspect fled the area on foot. Upon initial response, police received a description of the suspect and broadcast it to other responding units. A responding officer checking the immediate area located a subject matching the description given. During a protective pat-down of the subject two cell phones were found on his person, one being that of the victim. St. Charles Police Officer Erik Lawrenz said the wallet was not recovered.

LINDENWOOD University receives grant The Liberty and Ethics Center at Lindenwood University has received a $7,000 grant from the Charles Koch Foundation to fund a spring seminar in economic federalism: “Is Government the Problem?” The seminar will be held March 21 through March 23, 2014, on the campus of Lindenwood University in St. Charles. “Primary to our discussion will be the possibility that negative feelings about capitalism are actually caused by the state trying to make markets develop faster than what can spontaneously occur,” said Rachel Douchant, director of the Liberty and Ethics Center. “Speakers will address both questions of theory and practice, dealing with the cultural outcomes we value and why, as well as particular instances of intervention into the market, such as subsidies, the federal highway system, the Federal Reserve, and others.”

Weldon Spring offers senior Oktoberfest By AMY ARMOUR More than 100 Weldon Spring seniors enjoyed an afternoon in the city park on Sept. 27 for Senior Day 2013. “Seniors enjoyed refreshments including Deters Frozen Custard, were able to visit with our event sponsors and had chances to win attendance prizes,” said City Administrator Michael Padella. Mayor Don Licklider sang along to a classic German tune and Padella dressed up for the event in authentic Lederhosen. “This was the first year we fully embraced an Oktoberfest theme which featured the Waterloo German Band, pretzels and other German classics,” said Padella. About 110 local seniors attended the event this year. “This was an increase from last year, but attendance was down due to inclement weather last year. On average this was a smaller attendance than in years past,” said Padella. The city originally began throwing the Senior Day about 12 years ago as a way to introduce Senior Citizens to the City Park. “As time progresses it has become more of an appreciation day coupled with featuring sponsors who specialize in services or products for our senior community,” said Padella. Students from the Mary Emily Bryan Middle School in the Francis Howell School District volunteered their time again this year to help out during the event. “This is a great way for the younger generations to interact with our senior citizens,” said Padella.

Health providers plan expansion in county By BRIAN FLINCHPAUGH The proposed expansion of SSM St. Joseph Hospital West in Lake Saint Louis could be completed in several years. Michael Schnarre, an architect representing the hospital, told the Lake Saint Louis Board of Aldermen on Oct. 7 that the expansion, which would add a three-floor bed tower to the existing hospital, could be finished in 2017. Plans call for a complete redesign of the SSM St. Joseph Hospital West campus just south of I-70, including a new patient tower with additional beds and expanded parking, outpatient and acute care services. The hospital’s maternity and pediatric programs will function in partnership with SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center. A centerpiece of that expansion is the construction of the three-floors atop the existing hospital. Schnarre said work could begin using a courtyard area of the existing facility during the last quarter of this year. That work this year will include expanding a maternity c-section area of the hospital, construction of a diagnostic testing center and lab, and adding additional dietary. Work on the new floors is expected to begin in 2015. Schnarre spoke at a public hearing as part of a board review of a preliminary development plan for expanding the hospital. The board may vote in November on the application submitted by SSM Healthcare. The plans correspond to a previous master plan for the hospital that indicated adding additional floors. “We always planned on going up,” Schnarre said. Floors could include 35 rooms with as many as 42 beds on individual floors. Schnarre said the expansion will add about 45,000 square feet to the existing hospital,
which opened in 1986. Three patient floors would be added to the existing building, adding as many as 70 beds. Work continues on a fourth and fifth floor into 2017. Schnarre said the expansions already have received a certificate of need from the Missouri Health Facilities Review Committee, a five-member board that decides whether to approve plans for acute-care hospitals. SSM Health Care, the Creve Coeur-based nonprofit health care system, announced in April expansion plans for St. Joseph Hospital West. The expansion is a part of multimilliondollar investment plans in St. Charles County. The expansion plans call for additional beds for the hospital as part of an overall $180 million expansion intended to “transform and improve the health care experience for patients across St. Charles, Warren and Lincoln counties.” SSM’s other expansion plans in St. Charles County include a new emergency department and outpatient center in Wentzville and a new state-of-the-art outpatient campus in eastern St. Charles where many of the outpatient services at SSM St. Joseph Health Center will be expanded and relocated. That is in addition to the $40 million in renovations previously completed on the St. Joseph Health Center campus at 300 First Capitol Drive. SSM also plans additional urgent care facilities in St. Charles County and is beginning an “aggressive” recruitment of physicians. SSM’s announcement in April is the second made in recent years by a major health care provider in regard to expanding services in St. Charles County. Chesterfield-based Mercy announced in 2011 plans to build new facilities.

Cars, music and teens; it’s on for O’Fallon By MARY ANN O’TOOLE HOLLEY The Mayor’s Youth Advisory Committee (MYAC) in O’Fallon has been in the shadows since it began several years ago. Little was heard from the group formed to give youth a voice in city government and to educate them on how the governmental branches work together to improve the city. But now, it has paid off. MYAC President Jackson Bollinger addressed the City Council at a recent meeting saying he surveyed every student in the Fort Zumwalt School District about their involvement in city activities and functions, and just 2 percent said they were fully involved in their community. He said 68 percent of the teens surveyed said they would attend community events if there was an event they found interesting. Bollinger said only 6 percent rated the existing events as “awesome.” “That is what I need to change,” Bollinger said. “I want them to go to community events; hear about community events, and that’s more inspiration for me to put more time into bringing more events for teens.” As a result of the survey, Bollinger and others in the MYAC came up with a plan to hold two youth-driven events in 2014: an All-Car Show and the “O Fest,” a battle-ofthe-bands extravaganza that would not only attract area youth, but draw teens together

with a love of cars and a passion for music. The event promises to attract teens from all points of the metro area. The Car Show will be geared toward O’Fallon families, and Bollinger said he knows there are a lot of teens out there who would love to show off their cars at an O’Fallon Car Show. The cars shown would be organized by decades, and the local Mustang and Corvette clubs would be invited. “Our MYAC director of community outreach, Steven Cuttler, has a souped up Miata that he would really like to show, but if you bought a car last week, bring it out and show it off,” Bollinger said. “This would be a daylong show organized by decades — top cars for the entire day with others who are just as passionate about their vehicles.” The day-long O Fest event would be set up like a “battle of the bands,” Bollinger said. Audiences would vote for their favorite band, and at the end of the day the winner will receive a cash prize. “Every single member of the Youth Advisory Committee has committed to help with O Fest, and we’ll be inviting bands from the St. Louis metro area and beyond,” Bollinger said. “It looks like this event would put a lot of money back into the general fund. I’m very excited to put this on. There are so many youth bands, garage bands out there that
would love to perform their music. People have told me to hold a music festival.” Councilman Bob Howell said he knew upfront the MYAC group would be good at this. He said that he had also heard youth of the community talking about the possibility of a car show. “Well-done,” Howell said. “I knew upfront that you (Bollinger) would be good at this. There’s a lot of excitement.” MYAC Liaison and City Councilman Jeff Schwentker said he realizes it is somewhat rushed, and there is a cost for everything. “They have not gotten final figures on this, but everything seems doable, and most of their figures indicate a break-even event,” Schwentker said. “Just so you are aware, I am looking for a nod to move forward so staff can work and help them through this project.” The council unanimously approved the events. Both events will take place in spring or early summer 2014. But Bollinger didn’t leave without giving advice to the council. He said if the city were to work on one particular area to improve communication with the city’s youth, they should look at social networking. “I urge the city to investigate expanding their presence on social networks,” Bollinger said. “Get the word out to youth about the events and opportunities the city has to offer.”

don’t have to do anything – the change will be reflected in their trash bill. “These folks, about 3,700 of them, are going to be elated,” Kuppler said. There will be free delivery and sanitation fees will be waived for participating residents in February, March and April and May. Kuppler said some residents can opt out of using a cart in December and January simply by calling the city at 970-1456 or by contacting the city nocart@st.petersmo.net and leaving a name, address and telephone number. There are some limitations for residents. Kuppler said all yard waste will have to be put in a cart, with a few exceptions. The city will pick up bags of leaves that are set out next to the cart in October, November and December. Christmas trees for recycling can also be placed next to a cart in December and January. Kuppler said residents can transport extra yard waste to the city’s Earth Centre during normal business hours. Residents can drop off up to 30 cubic yards a year. Residents can obtain extra carts at a cost of $15 a year for each additional cart – a 70 percent savings over the present charge. Billing charges will be on the March 1 bill. The number of carts is limited by collection space at the end of a driveway. “We start to get concerned if you have more than four carts,” Kuppler said. City staff is expected go out for bids for delivery for the carts and come back to the board with a recommendation for approval. Mayor Len Pagano praised the new program. “We’re the only city in the whole county who can do this for residents,” Pagano said.

By BRIAN FLINCHPAUGH St. Peters residents starting next year will no longer pay for renting a container to dispose their grass, leaves and other yard waste. City officials have unveiled a new program for disposing of yard waste in 2014 that calls for delivering a wheeled cart to every single-family residence in the city, free of charge. The city is abolishing rental and delivery fees that it previously charged. Dave Kuppler, the city’s manager of health and environmental services, told the Board of Aldermen at its recent work session that the new program was designed to continue to provide excellent service at low cost to city residents. Kuppler said the program is similar to the way that trash is collected. A specialized truck will travel city streets and stop at each residence. It will use an automated arm to pick up the cart at the end of the driveway and empty its contents into a compartment. The vehicle uses only a driver, is efficient and fast, takes less time to pick up trash, limits fuel costs for vehicles, and puts less physical strain on city employees who now often have to pick up bags of yard waste, he said. Previously, the city charged a $60 annual fee for a city waste cart, plus a $12 delivery fee and a $9 sanitation fee. In 2014, the city hopes to deliver a cart to every single-family home in the city by February. The city plans to hire a contractor to deliver carts to the end of each driveway at a cost of $5 each for the city. The last month for billing residents under the old yard waste system will be in January. Residents who have been paying the bill

By BRIAN FLINCHPAUGH Lake Saint Louis city officials honored a police detective and Dardenne Prairie resident who helped save a life while off duty. The city’s Board of Aldermen presented awards to Lake Saint Louis Det. Bret Carbray and Paul Fay for their roles in administering CPR to a man slumped at the wheel of his vehicle. The vehicle had stopped on May 19 in the center median of U.S. Hwy. 65. City Police Chief Mike Force told aldermen that Carbray was off duty and coming back from a baseball tournament when he noticed the driver stopped on the median. Carbray stopped his vehicle and removed the unresponsive subject from the vehicle. There were no signs of breathing, so Carbray began CPR. Ten minutes later, Paul Fay arrived and helped administer CPR.
Ambulance personnel soon arrived and the patient was transported to a local hospital for treatment and has made a full recovery, Force said. “The treating doctor stated that the subject would not have survived if not for the quick response of Detective Carbray,” Force said, presenting him with a police Life Saving Award. “His actions define the meaning and purpose behind the Life Saving Medal and are in keeping with the highest traditions of the Lake Saint Louis Police Department and your profession.” Force also presented a civilian citation to Fay, a Dardenne Prairie resident. “I cannot tell you how proud and how honored I am to stand up here in the presence of these two men who have saved another person’s life.”

By BRIAN FLINCHPAUGH St. Peters aldermen told residents that they were not changing their minds about the closing of the city’s Nob Hill outdoor swimming pool because it would be too expensive to refurbish and operate. Alderman Judy Bateman, Ward 2, told residents at an Oct. 10 aldermanic work session that she didn’t want to give nearby residents “false hopes” about reopening the pool, which was closed this summer. “I don’t think it would be fiscally responsible to reverse ourselves now,” Bateman said. Bateman’s comments were echoed by other aldermen at the session and at the regular board meeting that immediately followed. The pool is on less than an acre of land on Sutters Mill Road. The city decided to phase out the use of the pool because of declining revenue and attendance for a facility that also needed major repairs. Last year, daily admission revenue was down by about 40 percent. But nearby residents, including many from the Spencer Creek subdivision, sent a petition with more than 100 signatures asking the board to reconsider the closing of the pool. During the public comment portion of the board meeting, residents asked the board to reconsider the closing, saying the pool added to local property values and provided activities for young people in the area.
“You’ve got to do something to keep the kids occupied,” said Susie Whitlock, who spoke for Spencer Creek residents. Whitlock suggested lowering pool fees. Aldermen, however, were not persuaded. “That Nob Hill pool is not going to reopen, we’ve voted on it and that’s the way it is,” said Alderman Tommy Roberts, Ward 3. People may be unhappy but sometimes aldermen have to make tough decisions and the small swimming pool was a drain on residents throughout the city, he said. He said he wasn’t going to meet with residents and give them false hope about reopening the pool. “I’m sorry if that offends you,” he said. Aldermanic President Patrick Barclay, Ward 4, said the city has a million dollars less in revenue available to spend because of the recession. He said the city has to look toward the entire city in spending its money rather than supporting amenities in individual wards the way it did in the past. Alderman Terri Violet, Ward 3, said it was a hard decision to close the pool. Her children used the pool during the summer as well. “It’s sad to see this go. We had our heart in this for a number of years,” Violet said. The Park’s Board is working on recommendations for converting the pool into another facility. Recommendations could come to the board in January.
BJC’s ‘A Special Night’ looks to support mission of health By AMY ARMOUR Barnes-Jewish St. Peters and Progress West Foundation will host “A Special Night” on Nov. 9 to benefit continuing excellence in local healthcare. “Our hospitals’ mission is to improve the health of the people and communities we serve. This event will help us to continue to support that mission,” said Karen Prideaux, manager of community relations at BJC-St. Peters. The dinner auction gala will start with cocktails at 6:30 p.m. on Sat., Nov. 9, at Prasino, located at 1520 South Fifth Street in St. Charles. The evening will include the music of Lamar Pulsing, raffle items such as a Coach purse and golf sessions, and a dinner prepared by Prasino Chef Tony. “We are expecting 200 guests and have closed the restaurant to the public for this special evening,” Prideaux said. The program themed “Sustaining, Supporting and Solidifying Excellent Healthcare” will follow dinner, along with a live auction. “The program will be exceptionally spe-
cial this year,” Prideaux said. Tickets are $125 per guest and will include dinner and cocktails for the evening. Proceeds will benefit the Barnes-Jewish St. Peters and Progress West Foundation. “Of course, we would like to raise a large amount of money. But also, as important, we want to let the community know who we are and what can be accomplished with their support and involvement,” said Prideaux. “Our two hospitals, the Siteman Cancer Center at BJSPH and Children’s Hospital at Progress West, deliver excellent health care on a daily basis.” Prideaux said people can help the foundation by attending or sponsoring the event. Advertisements for the event program are still available and items for the raffles and live auction are also needed. Visit bjsp-pwfoundation.org and click on Special Events to learn about sponsorship options and tickets . The event is co-chaired by Karen MacDonald, Kelley Scheidegger-Barbee, Wm.

Admission is free. Therapeutic Horsemanship is a not-forprofit organization in Wentzville that provides therapeutic riding programs. Founded in 1975, TH provides award-winning equine-assisted physical, occupational, and speech therapy as well as recreational programs each week to hundreds of children and adults with disabilities. Sandy Huebner, on the TH board of directors, said the nonprofit’s most recent endeavor is the addition of the Freedom Reins Program designed to offer this same equine-assisted therapy to veterans and active military personnel. “I feel that we can never pay back our men and women who have dedicated their lives to protect and defend our country. I
do feel that we can honor their service. That is why I wanted to be the chairperson of the Freedom Reins Celebration Day,” said Huebner, who is a member of the Executive Committee for Therapeutic Horsemanship’s Board of Directors. The celebration will include a Resource Fair of local public and private support providers for veterans and active military. Some providers offer support for health services, academics, employment opportunities and activities designed specifically for veterans and active military personnel. A “Little Patriots Boot Camp” will include pony rides, a petting zoo and games for children. And at 2 p.m. a recognition ceremony will be held to honor the service of veterans and active military personnel. Sponsorship opportunities are still available and are fully tax-deductible with all proceeds benefitting the continued development of the Freedom Reins Program. Organizations that provide services to veterans and active military personnel who wish to participate in this event should contact the Freedom Reins Coordinator at 332-4940, Ext 214.

Bu llet i n Boa rd FRANCIS HOWELL Healthy school Francis Howell Middle School (FHMS) was recently presented with the Bronze National Recognition Award from the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. FHMS was recognized because it has distinguished itself as an innovator in each of the wellness categories and meets or exceeds the stringent standards set in the Healthy Schools Program. Schools receiving National Recognition Awards represent more than 25 states from around the country and the District of Columbia. Schools in all 50 states are using the Healthy Schools Program to innovate ways to improve health for students and staff. The Healthy School Program is divided into seven categories including: policy and systems, healthy cafeterias, healthy vending, health education, employee wellness, physical education and student wellness. Each category outlines guidelines for schools who want to become a part of the Healthy School Program. The Alliance’s Healthy Schools Program provides assistance such as onsite and virtual trainings with school health experts and access to a customer support center at no cost to help a school become a healthier place. The Healthy Schools Program helped FHMS make significant changes in the areas of better nutrition, physical activity and staff wellness. Being a healthy school positively affects all aspects of the FHMS environment. Healthy students learn better and studies show that they perform better on tests, get better grades, attend school more often and behave better in class.
Digging with dad Preschool students at Early Childhood Family Education Center – Meadows Parkway had an opportunity to dig with their dads at “The Great Dig” event on Sept. 26. Preschoolers spent special time with their dads by participating in a dinosaur hunt through the woods, making dinosaur prints, searching for dinosaur bones in the dirt, interacting with other various activities, as well as climbing on a piece of construction equipment.
Advisors recognized Michelle Dunaway, publications adviser at Francis Howell High School (FHHS), and Matt Schott, publications adviser at Francis Howell Central (FHC) High School, have been recognized by the Dow Jones News Fund Incorporation. Schott will be recognized as a 2013 DJNF Distinguished Adviser and Dunaway will be recognized as a 2013 DJNF Special Recognition Advisor at the National High School Journalism Convention in Boston on Nov. 16. The Dow Jones News Fund program identifies outstanding high school journalism teachers with at least three years’ experience who have done exemplary work in the previous academic year. The Dow Jones News Fund, formerly known as the Newspaper Fund, was organized in 1958 to improve the quality of journalism education and the pool of applicants for jobs in the news business. The Fund began the National High School Journalism Teacher of the Year program in 1960. More than 300 teachers have been honored since it began, including
Francis Howell North High School Publications Advisor Aaron Manful. Manful received the National High School Journalism Teacher of the Year award in 2011.
FORT ZUMWALT Arts and crafts Fort Zumwalt South High School will hold its 23rd annual Craft Show from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sat., Oct. 26 at FZS located at 8050 Mexico Road in St. Peters. Craft lovers will find everything from jewelry, holiday items and wooden crafts to representatives from Scentsy and Pampered Chef. Bake sale and concessions will also be available. Proceeds will benefit the High School Activities Booster Club, which supports extra-curricular activities including sports, music, drama and academic.
Asked to speak Fort Zumwalt School District Deputy Superintendent Patty Corum has been asked to join Assistant Commissioner Paul Katnik of the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education as he presents Missouri’s new teacher evaluation program to the U.S. Department of Education. Missouri is one of five states asked to present its model to other states as they move to develop and implement their own new teacher evaluation systems. Corum said Katnik asked if she could attend because Fort Zumwalt School District has already used the state model to develop and implement a new teacher evaluation program. “Dr. Jackie Floyd (FZSD Assistant Superintendent-Curriculum and Instruction) and I both have been working on this since the fall of 2012,” said Corum. “We’ve worked
Don’t replace it,
closely with DESE, taking the state model and tweaking it to fit our needs, then sharing with the state what we were doing.” That hands-on experience is something DESE wants to share with other states. As one of the largest districts in Missouri, Fort Zumwalt is at the forefront of the new evaluation program, having piloted it last year with most teachers in most of its 24 schools and with all of its administrators. “The state was interested in what we were doing because of the depth at which we were doing it,” said Corum. “Our teachers are excited, their leaders in the Fort Zumwalt Education Association are excited and so are our administrators. Without that close cooperation and those meaningful conversations we would not have the model in place.” Corum said the new evaluation system puts different measures in place for teachers just starting their careers than it puts in place for veteran teachers. She added that the new evaluation system focuses on teacher growth and student achievement through a set of standards that are measured across a school year, rather than a series of arbitrary criteria administrators check off at the end of the school year.
WENTZVILLE International walk to school Green Tree Elementary in the Wentzville School District joined schools from around the world to celebrate International Walk to School Day.

of a “Safe Routes to School” grant from the Missouri Department of Transportation. “It’s really fun. We have done it since we were in first grade,” said fourth-grader John Hess. “It is good exercise and you get a nice view of the park.” Community Resource Officer Susan Ochs of the Lake Saint Louis Police Department has helped to organize the walk every year. “This event has become a really good partnership between the police department and the school,” said Ochs. “It encourages healthy lifestyles and educates kids on walking and biking safety.” Now in its 17th year, International Walk to School Day is celebrated at more than 3,900 participating schools in 40 countries around the world. Walk to School events work to create safer routes for walking and bicycling and emphasize the importance of issues such as increasing physical activity among children, pedestrian safety, traffic congestion, concern for the environment and building connections between families, schools and the broader community.
Digital bus visits Holt High American Government students at Holt High School had the opportunity to board the travelling C-SPAN digital bus on Oct. 8. C-SPAN Digital and Social Media Specialist Jeremy Art spoke with students about the network, government and politics, and how they can be informed citizens and take an active role in the democratic process. “We want students to understand how C-SPAN is different. Because we are nonprofit and receive no government funding, we are able to show Congress at work in its entirety without commercials,” said Art. “If we teach students how to use these resources in high school it is our hope that they will grow into well-informed citizens.” The interactive mobile bus is equipped with the latest technology and equipment including touch-screen televisions, laptops, tablets and a SMARTboard. C-SPAN employees take the bus across the country, visiting schools, community events, conferences and political gatherings to connect visitors with public affairs and government while providing a greater understanding of C-SPAN and their free resources. The local Charter office was instrumental in bringing the C-SPAN bus to Holt. “This is a fantastic educational tool that encourages students to be politically aware and take an active role in their government,” said Charter Senior Communications Manager Debbie Johnson. The C-SPAN Bus Program began in 1993 with a travelling school bus and the current digital bus was unveiled in 2010. For more information about the program, visit www.c-span.org/Bus/.
Lessons come to life
Students at Boone Trail Elementary saw classroom lessons come to life as part of the “Boone Trail Days” celebration. Students took part in hands-on activities like shelling corn, churning butter, and spinning wool, and enjoyed demonstrations on blacksmithing and making apple butter. The annual tradition is a celebration of early American life that starts in the classroom, where teachers incorporate lessons about Native Americans and pioneer life into the curriculum. “We talk about what it was like back in the olden days, and we learn new things about our country’s history. We learn a lot of things about how they survived back then; life was kind of difficult,” said fourth-grader Taylor Soukup. “I liked the blacksmith. It’s really cool how he can make things like arrows and spears.” The culmination of the week came when the PTA sponsored a chili supper with games and hayrides. The event brings families and the community together to celebrate a fall tradition that goes back 23 years to the opening of the school. “The kids love Boone Trail Days. They look forward to it all year long,” said Principal John Schulte. “The PTA does a great job helping with the event. It makes history come alive for our students…how chores were done, what toys and games were like before electricity. If it weren’t for Boone Trail Days, a lot of students wouldn’t have this experience.”
GODDARD SCHOOL Pancakes benefit nonprofit The Goddard School in St. Peters hosted its second annual Charity Pancake Breakfast benefiting the March of Dimes on Sept. 28. More than 100 guests attended the pancake breakfast last month. Proceeds from the event, along with raffle ticket sales the week before, totaled $1,000 for the March of Dimes. School owner, Jennifer Rohrbach, also a member of the Young Professionals Board within the March of Dimes, said she was thrilled to be able to present the check to them. “This is a cause that is very close to my heart. We have many at our school that have received help from this wonderful organization and I am proud that our school was able to give back,” said Rohrbach. “We were all delighted to raise this much money and bring awareness to all the March of Dimes does for families. The teachers and children were anticipating a lot of fun and a great learning experience.” Opened in August 2008, The Goddard School in St. Peters accommodates 132 children ages six weeks to 12 years old.

STCC’s Valmiro Gonzalez working to get the ball past Lewis and Clark defenders.
St. Charles Community College captures MCCAC championship By JONATHAN DUNCAN A special thing happened to the St.Charles Community College men’s soccer team just over two weeks ago as the club accomplished a major milestone in the program’s history. The Cougars slipped past East Central College for a 2-1 victory and as a result earned the outright Midwest Community Collegiate Conference Championship on Oct. 6. The conference championship was the first in the program’s five-year history at the school and represented a tremendous achievement for the Cougars as the team strives to make itself a household name in area junior college soccer. “I think it’s a tremendous thing for these kids to achieve something like this at this stage of the program,” said Cougars coach Thomas Kearns, who has guided the program from its inception. “It shows them what can be accomplished when we play together, compete, and grow together.” Freshman midfielder Stephen Roczycki and freshman forward Valmiro Gonzalez provided the scoring punch for the Cougars, scoring a goal each to lead STCC to victory. In MCAC conference play, the Cougars were perfect on the pitch going 3-0 with wins over Jefferson College (2-1), St. Louis Community College (6-0), and East Central (2-1). The Cougars were also one the hottest junior college clubs in the country heading into the season’s final week with six straight victories including victories over Jefferson (Sept. 24), Wentworth Military Academy (Sept. 28), St. Louis Community (Oct. 1), and Missouri Baptist (Oct. 2). When the Cougars are on the move with the ball, they look for freshman forward Valmiro Gonzalez to provide scoring near the goal box area. Gonzalez has been the Cougars go-to
guy with 12 goals so far on the season. “Valmiro has been really good for us in getting chances and being able to finish them,” Kearns said. Goal scoring is key for St. Charles Community College; however, it has been the constant support of a strong backfield on defense that has also allowed the Cougars to race out to a blazing 11-3-1 start heading into the third week of October. The Cougars are quite stout between the pipes as sophomore goalies Kevin Dougherty (1.33 goals against average) and Mitchell Villa (.66 goals against average) have made life difficult for opposing forwards looking for easy scoring chances. The pair has split time in the net for the past two seasons. “It’s a great luxury to have two goalies that can do what they do,” Kearns said. “The biggest problem we have is trying to decide which one to start from game to game because they are both so good. But it’s a good problem to have.” STCC heads into the playoffs with an outstanding regular season run going 11-3-1 heading into the postseason. “In previous years it took the guys a lot of time to get to know each other and build good team chemistry,” Kearns said. “This group really knows each other well and they work well together on the field and are very focused on working our system each game.” The Cougars finished the regular season with a road game at Greenville College on Oct. 15. Next up for the Cougars will be the start of the National Junior College Athletic Association Region 16 Tournament which will begin play on Oct. 26. The Region 16 tournament will finish with the championship game on Nov. 9.

For kids who are allergic to eggs, the benefits of a flu shot outweigh the risks, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.
Flu shots OK for egg-allergic kids An allergy to eggs should not prevent a child from getting a flu shot, according to a flu safety update published in the October issue of the Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. The Centers for Disease Control recommends observing egg-allergic children for 30 minutes following a flu shot; having the shot under the care of a primary care provider if the reaction to eating eggs is only hives; or having the shot under the care of an allergist if the reaction to eating eggs is more serious. But according to a spokesperson for the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI), those precautions are not necessary. “In a large number of research studies published over the last several years, thousands of egg-allergic children – including those with a severe, life-threatening reaction to eating eggs – have received injectable influenza vaccine (IIV) as a single dose without a reaction,” said John Kelso, M.D., fellow of the ACAAI. “The benefits of the flu vaccination far outweigh any risk. As
Missouri has the seventh highest drug overdose mortality rate in the nation, with 17 per 100,000 people suffering drug overdose fatalities, according to a report released earlier this month. The Show-Me State scored poorly also in terms of implementing strategies to stop prescription drug abuse. A report from the Trust for America’s Health (TFAH), “Prescription Drug Abuse: Strategies to Stop the Epidemic,” found that more than half of states scored six or less out of 10 possible indicators of promising strategies to help curb prescription drug abuse, and Missouri received credit for only three of the 10 indicators. Missouri is the only state in the nation that does not have an active prescription drugmonitoring program (PDMP). According to the TFAH report, prescription drug-related deaths in the U.S. now outnumber those from heroin and cocaine combined. To see the full report, visit healthyamericans.org.
LeBron James, Peyton Manning and Serena Williams, who were also the highest contributors in the marketing of energydense and nutrient-poor foods. Researchers found that the majority of athletes’ food and beverage brand endorsements were for sports drinks, soft drinks and fast foods, and 93 percent of the 46 drinks they endorsed received 100 percent of their calories from added sugars.
Antibiotics still over-prescribed Despite widespread efforts to reduce unnecessary use of antibiotics, the medications continue to be significantly over-prescribed as treatments for adults with acute bronchitis and sore throats, according to research at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. “We know that antibiotic prescribing, particularly to patients who are not likely to benefit from it, increase the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, a growing concern both here in the U.S. and around the world,” said Jeffrey A. Linder, M.D., senior author of the study. “Our research shows that while only 10 percent of adults with sore throat have strep – the only common cause of sore throat requiring antibiotics – the national antibiotic prescribing rate for adults with sore throat has remained at 60 percent. For acute bronchitis, the right antibiotic prescribing rate should be near zero percent, and the national antibiotic prescribing rate was 73 percent.” Now, researchers are working to develop interventions to reduce inappropriate antibiotic prescribing for respiratory infections.

Walking to reduce breast cancer risk
Studies have shown that parents are more likely to buy food products that are marketed by professional athletes because they perceive the foods as being healthier, but according to a study in Pediatrics, parents’ perceptions often are wrong. For the study, “Athlete Endorsements in Food Marketing,” researchers tracked more than 500 brands associated with 100 professional athletes. Among the brands athletes endorsed, 23.8 percent were for foods and beverages, with the most food and drink endorsements coming from
We’ve all heard of organized walks to end breast cancer. Now, a study from the American Cancer Society shows that simply walking for an hour a day can reduce a postmenopausal woman’s breast cancer risk. In a 17-year study involving more than 70,000 postmenopausal women, American Cancer Society researchers compared women’s exercise levels and breast cancer status. “Among those who reported walking as their only activity, those who walked at least seven hours per week had a 14 per-
cent lower risk of breast cancer compared to those who walked three or fewer hours per week,” the American Cancer Society reported in a news release. “Consistent with most prior studies, the most active women had (a) 25 percent lower risk of breast cancer than the least active. The associations did not differ by hormone receptor status, BMI, weight gain, or postmenopausal hormone use.” Lead researcher Alpa Patel stressed the significance of the study’s findings. “Our results clearly support an association between physical activity and postmenopausal breast cancer, with more vigorous activity having a stronger effect,” Patel said. “Our findings are particularly relevant, as people struggle with conflicting information about how much activity they need to stay healthy. Without any other recreational physical activities, walking on (an) average of at least one hour per day was associated with a modestly lower risk of breast cancer. More strenuous and longer activities lowered the risk even more.”

By SUZANNE CORBETT Pumpkins, the poster veggie for fall, seem to be everywhere this time of year. They prompt cravings for pumpkin pie and have become the star ingredient in many stews, soups and other savory autumn dishes. The popularity of pumpkin is not surprising when one considers its unique flavor and subtle, natural sweetness that lends itself so well to sweet and savory dishes alike. That is especially true when using fresh pumpkin, which provides unparalleled taste to recipes calling for its flesh to be grated, mashed, or even cut into chunks for slow roasting around a pork loin or turkey. Those wanting to try cooking fresh pumpkin must act before the local supply vanishes, so it would be wise to stock up. Pumpkins store well for a few months when placed in a cool, dry dark place, such as a basement or garage. For longer storing, they can be precooked, pureed and frozen. Preparing fresh pumpkin pulp/puree is easy. Cut pumpkins in half, and scrape out the seeds and stringy fibers. Place cut side down in a shallow baking dish. Add about 1/2-inch water to the baking pan. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes, or until pumpkin is fork tender. Remove from oven, and cool. Scrape pulp from the peeling and mash or puree using a hand blender or food processor. The puree is ready for freezing or for use in any recipe. Pumpkin is loaded with vitamin A and is a good source of vitamins C, E and K along with the carotenoid beta-carotene. It is a good source of fiber and minerals, including magnesium, potassium and iron. Even its seeds have value, as they seem to have an anti-inflammatory effect and may even help protect against prostate cancer and osteoporosis. So when cleaning pumpkins, consider saving the seeds for toasting and tossing in a salad or eating as a healthy snack. The following recipes are simple to prepare – perfect for a busy holiday season. Savory Pumpkin Soufflé 1 15-ounce can pure pumpkin puree 3 eggs 1 cup heavy cream 1 cup Swiss cheese Kosher salt and pepper to taste 1 bulb garlic, roasted and mashed 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves 1/2 cup panko crumbs Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, combine the pumpkin, eggs, cream and Swiss cheese. Pulse until just blended. Season with salt and pepper; add roasted garlic, and pulse a few more seconds to blend. Pour into a lightly buttered au gratin or shallow baking dish. Combine Parmesan, thyme and panko crumbs, and sprinkle over top of pumpkin. Bake for 25-30 min-

Remove from skillet, cool, and set aside. In a large stockpot, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving a cup of the pasta water. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium high heat; sauté shallots, garlic and sage until shallots are softened. Place mixture in a food processor with the pumpkin, and pulse few seconds to smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour pumpkin mixture into empty pasta pot. Heat over low to medium heat until hot. Add cheeses. Rinse pasta in hot water, drain, and stir into sauce. If sauce is too thick, thin with some reserved pasta water. Place on a platter, and sprinkle with pine nuts and chives. (Makes 6-8 servings)

Local municipalities facing big price tags for communications By BRIAN FLINCHPAUGH St. Charles County municipalities are faced with picking up some of the costs of improving radio communications between the county government and area emergency providers. The costs come at a time when city and county officials are also faced with the separate issue of upgrading the county’s 9-1-1 system without what those officials fear is adequate funding to do it. City and county emergency providers are developing an intergovernmental agreement that will govern the new communications system that involves the construction of 12 new radio towers throughout the county. The towers are part of an effort throughout the St. Louis area to upgrade emergency communications for first responders as mandated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The improvements will create a single, unified system for law enforcement, fire, ambulance and public works communications and would help to eliminate the gaps in service from a patchwork of systems. A 1/4-cent sales tax was approved by St. Charles County voters in 2009 to fund the changes. The system would also tie the county with other counties throughout the St. Louis area and is supported by emergency providers and local officials.
But some extra maintenance and other costs may be borne by municipalities and other emergency providers and are being discussed by county and city officials this month. The St. Charles County Council gave a reading to a bill establishing the intergovernmental agreement at their Oct. 15 meeting. Details and issues involving the agreement were close to being worked out. The agreement also has to be approved by municipalities and other emergency providers. Some of those issues have been discussed openly at city board of aldermen meetings recently Lake Saint Louis aldermen were told Oct. 7 by City Administrator Paul Markworth that entering the agreement will have “budget implications” for the city. “In a nutshell, the cities will be allowed to join the county system in exchange for certain considerations,” Markworth wrote in a memorandum to the board. While the county will maintain the system infrastructure, cities may be called on to be responsible for the cost of repairing and maintaining radios. Cities would pay an annual subscriber fee – for Lake Saint Louis estimated at $25,000 annually, he said. The city may have to pay for linking the city’s existing system via a fiber optic cable with a tower being erected at
Dardenne Prairie, which may cost the city about $15,000 a year, he said. The agreement may call also for each participating municipality to adopt building and zoning regulations that would protect microwave transmission paths between the towers from interference from tall structures or buildings If a proposed building may interfere, the city would negotiate with the applicant to provide mitigation. Randy Weber, a legal counsel for St. Peters who is representing St. Charles, St. Peters, O’Fallon, Wentzville and Lake Saint Louis in negotiations with the county, mentioned concerns about the legality of those regulations in comments to his board. Weber told the St. Peters Board of Aldermen at an Oct. 10 meeting that he hoped to have an agreement for their consideration by the end of October. Jennifer George, the county’s director of policy research and development, told St. Charles County Council members at their Oct. 15 meeting that a 20-year agreement between the county and responders calls for the county to operate the system and the city to maintain its down dispatching. Another expense that may be looming is a separate issue involving radio communications but not with the towers. Officials are wor-
ried about having enough money to upgrade the county’s 9-1-1 emergency calling system. George and other officials say fewer telephone users are using land lines, and software needed to upgrade the system is expensive. “They don’t have enough money to upgrade the equipment,” Markworth told his board. One estimate is that Lake Saint Louis’ share of that cost could be as high as $175,000 in 2015, he said. Paying new bills has city aldermen concerned. “Where do you see this money coming from if we have to do it,” asked Alderman Gary Torlina, Ward 1. Markworth said the money may have to come out of $300,000 to $400,000 in anticipated budget balances, which the city hopes to use for street improvements. St. Peters aldermen were asking the same question. Alderman Patrick Barclay, Ward 4, told Weber that the city faces a $56,000 annual bill under the agreement. Barclay said he supported the system but was told earlier that the city might not have to pay an annual bill because it had a more modern system than other cities. “It leaves a bad taste in our mouths,” Barclay said, blaming County Council members and the county for adding costs. “But it’s needed.”

Keeping it fresh is Chevy’s’ Fresh Mex promise By SUZANNE CORBETT “Fresh” is more than a buzzword to John Whicker; it is the mantra and the foundation to the successful operation of his Chevy’s Fresh Mex restaurant on Hwy. K in O’Fallon. “We were cooking fresh long before it became the trend,” Whicker explained. “‘Fresh’ is just not in our name; it is who we are. We really are Fresh Mex. Everything is cooked fresh using made-from-scratch recipes and using the freshest and best ingredients in the area.” To ensure that freshness, Chevy’s’ chefs arrive early each day to cook from scratch the restaurant’s signature housemade dressings, sauces, salsa and tortillas, which in turn become the foundations for the recipes that Whicker describes as “chef-driven.” They are recipes that reflect classic Mexican cuisine as well as the newest trends, such as small plates, which at Chevy’s are known as “Small Bites, Grande Tastes.” Small Bites, Grande Tastes are an affordable assortment of small plates that pair perfectly with a margarita.

with good portions,” Whicker said. For those seeking a larger serving, there are plenty of options, too. A favorite of many Chevy’s regulars are the sizzling fajitas. They are among the many specialties produced on Chevy’s’ open-fire mesquite grill, prepared using a grilling technique and aromatic wood reflecting Mexico’s Sonora region. “The mesquite-fired grill is the traditional method of cooking that’s been used in the Sonora region of northern Mexico and Arizona for over 100 years,” Whicker explained. “Sonora raises a lot of cattle, so they grill a lot of meat there. That’s why we grill our meats using real open-fire mesquite grills.” Chevy’s’ grill masters use only U.S. Certified Black Angus Beef to create Chevy’s fajitas, steak salads, nachos and burritos. Chicken and pan-seared fish are also finished grill-side, as are the fresh tomatoes used in the sauces and salsas. It is a method that yields a delightful charred flavor and sweet, subtle smokiness. Southwestern peppers are another Sonoran recipe component that sets Chevy’s apart. Poblano chiles are cheesestuffed, battered, fried and sauced to create the pungent Chile All of Chevy’s’ meats, vegetables and many other Fresh Mex specialties are prepared to order on a flaming mesquite grill. Relleno. New Mexican red and habanero peppers find their way into the char-grilled salsa and are used also to flavor Chevy’s’ house red sauces, such as the ranchero sauce. Seasonal fresh fruit margaritas also are among the items As the seasons change, Chevy’s adds more menu choices, that can be included on Chevy’s’ customized party menus, and that includes additions on the bar side. Currently, mango served off-site or at Chevy’s, which can accommodate parties is the seasonal fresh fruit and is used to produce Mango ranging from 50-100 guests. Either way, Whicker promises a Margaritas and the Bacardi rum and pineapple juice-laced menu featuring items that are made fresh to order. Mango Mama-sita. For those who do not imbibe, there is a “Everything is always fresh,” Whicker said. “That’s why tasty, non-alcoholic option: Mango Lemonade. we’re the real thing – the original Fresh Mex.”
