Can It Happen Here? The decision of the government in Cyprus to simply take money out of people’s bank accounts there sent shock waves around the world. People far removed from that small island nation had to wonder: “Can this happen here?” The economic repercussions of having people feel that their money is not safe in banks can be catastrophic. Banks are not just warehouses where money can be stored. They are crucial institutions for gathering individually modest amounts of money from millions of people and transferring that money to strangers whom those people would not directly entrust it to. Multibillion dollar corporations, whose economies of scale can bring down the prices of goods and services – thereby raising our standard of living – are seldom financed by a few billionaires. Far more often they are financed by millions of people, who have neither the specific knowledge nor the economic expertise to risk their savings by investing directly in those enterprises. Banks are crucial intermediaries, which provide the financial expertise without which these transfers of money are too risky. There are poor nations with rich natural resources, which are not developed because they lack either the sophisticated financial institutions necessary to make these key transfers of money or because their legal or political systems are too unreliable for people to put their money into these financial intermediaries. Whether in Cyprus or in other countries, politicians tend to think in short run terms, if only because elections are held in the short run. Therefore, there is always a temptation to do reckless and short-sighted things to get over some current problem, even if that creates far worse problems in the long run. Seizing money that people put in the bank would be a classic example of such short-sighted policies. After thousands of American banks failed during the Great Depression of the 1930s, there were people who would never put their money in a bank again, even after the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was created to have the federal government guarantee individual bank accounts when the bank itself failed. For years after the Great Depression, stories appeared in the press from time to time about some older person who died and was found to have substantial sums of money stored under

EDITORIAL
‘Me Too’ Republicans By THOMAS SOWELL Many ideas presented as “new” are just rehashes of old ideas that have been tried before – and have failed before. So it is no surprise that the recent “Growth and Opportunity Project” report to the Republican National Committee is a classic example of what previous generations called “me too” Republicanism. These are Republicans who think that the key to winning elections is to do more of what the Democrats are doing. In effect, they say “me too” on issues such as immigration, in hopes of gaining more new votes than they lose by betraying their existing supporters. In the wake of last year’s presidential election debacle for the Republicans, the explanation preferred by “moderate” Republicans has been that the GOP has been too narrowly ideological, and needs to reach out to minorities, women and young people, rather than just to conservatives. In the words of the “Growth and Opportunity Project,” the problem is that conservative Republican candidates have been “driving around in circles on an ideological cul-de-sac.” But the report itself says that the Republicans’ election problems have been at the national level, not at the state level, where a majority of the governors are Republicans. Are the Republican moderates suggesting that the reason Mitt Romney lost in 2012 is that he was driving around in a conservative cul-desac? Romney was as mushy a moderate as Senator John McCain was before him – and as many other Republican losers in presidential elections have been, going all the way back to the 1940s. The only Republican candidate who might fit the charge of being a complete conservative was Ronald Reagan, who won two landslide elections. The report to the Republican National Committee is on firmer ground when it says that national Republican candidates have not articulated their case very well – that “we too often sound like bookkeepers.” Republican candidates “need to do a better job talking in normal, peopleoriented terms.” Absolutely. It doesn’t matter how good your case is, if you don’t bother to articulate it so that voters understand you. The heart of the report, however, is
the argument that Republicans need to reach out to minorities, women and young people. With Hispanics and blacks becoming a growing proportion of the American population – and both groups voting overwhelmingly for Democrats – the Republicans are obviously in big trouble in future elections if they don’t do something. But if they do what this report advocates, they could be in even bigger trouble. Here again, facts seem to mean nothing to those who wrote this report. They propose going through such organizations as the NAACP to reach black voters, as if the NAACP owns blacks, in violation of the 13th Amendment. Not only is the NAACP virtually a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democratic Party, the kind of black voters that the Republicans have some hope of winning over are unlikely to be enthralled to the NAACP, and many of them may see through such race hustlers. Or do all blacks look alike to those who wrote this report? It is the same story with Hispanics and Asian Americans. The Republicans are supposed to go through these groups’ “leaders” as well – mostly leaders tied to the Democratic Party ideologically or otherwise. You might think that a Republican Party that talks about individualism would try to appeal to individuals. Individuals whom the Republicans have some chance of winning over may well be a small minority within these groups. However, if the GOP can reduce the Democrats’ 80 percent of these groups’ votes to 70 percent, that can swing elections. But a shotgun approach to minorities won’t do it. When it comes to minority votes, the Democratic Party is much like Eastman Kodak during the long period when it sold the vast majority of the film and cameras in the country. How did its competitors manage to drive Kodak into bankruptcy? Not by saying “me too” while trying to imitate Kodak and trying to outdo Kodak with better film and better film cameras. They went digital instead. But that approach requires a lot more thought than apparently went into this report. Polls and focus groups are not a substitute for thought.

News Br iefs BALLWIN Secure document shredding The Ballwin Police Department and Target are co-sponsoring a Secure Document Shredding Event, April 6 from 9 a.m.-noon, rain or shine. For a nominal suggested donation of $5 or a grocery bag of non-perishable food items, Ballwin residents can have documents containing personal or sensitive information securely shredded onsite by DNT (Document & Network Technologies, INC). All proceeds and food donations will benefit Circle Of Concern, which assists poor families who live in the Parkway, Rockwood and Valley Park school districts. The event will take place on the eastern parking lot of Target at 15025 Manchester Road.
CHESTERFIELD Spirit Airport safe from sequester The Federal Aviation Administration will be closing some 149 control tower opera-
tions at small and medium-size airports in coming days but only one area facility will be affected. St. Louis Regional Airport at Alton is on the list of facilities whose controllers operate under contract with the FAA and will be laid off as the agency struggles to meet a goal of cutting $600 million in the wake of the federal budget sequester. Neither Spirit of St. Louis Airport in Chesterfield or Lambert - St. Louis International is affected. Only two other Missouri airports – at Columbia and Branson – are on the control tower closing list. Planes can continue to use airports without FAA traffic controllers but having that extra assistance is considered a safety factor for both commercial and general air traffic. According to John Bales, director of aviation at Spirit, 189 airports were on the original control tower closing list but that number was reduced to 149. “I don’t think it’s a good thing,” he said about the control tower closings. “Economically speaking, the closings will hurt the communities that are affected. And
because a lot of flight training takes place at these fields, I expect those operations will suffer somewhat, too. “Some of the airports affected also have commercial flights and it’s possible there will be an impact there as well.”
CREVE COEUR Interchange to honor fallen hero An effort to memorialize and honor U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Clark will come to fruition Saturday, April 13, with the dedication of a Heroes Way Interstate Interchange sign to be placed at I-270 and Ladue Road (exit 13). Clark was killed in action in 2006. “He had turned 22 in August of that year,” explained Clark’s mother, Lee Hundelt. She said when he told her he had enlisted she broke down in tears. “I sobbed,” she said. “And Matthew said, ‘Oh, the recruiter said you would do that. He said they all do that.’” Then, Clark reminded her that she should not have been surprised by his decision. “I placed a flag over his bed and decorated his room in red, white and blue,” she said. “But this is what he wanted to do. It was his choice, his mission. The definition of warrior is someone who wants to pro-
tect. Matthew had that in his character. He wanted to serve.” Now, Hundelt hopes that when drivers see the sign – perhaps even Clark’s friends and former classmates from Ladue High – they’ll think of him and others who have answered the call to serve, including his late father who was also a Marine. The dedication event will take place at 1 p.m. at the Missouri Department of Transportation office in Chesterfield, located at 1590 Woodlake Drive. The public is invited, but space is limited. For those not in attendance, Hundelt said, “I’m told the interchange sign will be up by the end of the month. It shouldn’t take long.”

Feeding those in need Panera Bread (St. Louis Bread Company) has rolled out a new menu item – and it’s free. To clarify, it’s free only if you want it to be. The Panera Cares meal is being offered at all 48 St. Louis Bread Company restaurants under the pay-as-you-can rules – offering individuals who are unable to pay the opportunity to receive a nutritious meal with dignity. “I think it’s a great program. I think there’s a lot of people out there that can and would be willing to pay extra for their meal if it would help someone less fortunate than themselves,” said Laurie Zafropoulos, who was dining at the company’s Chesterfield location within days of the announcement. Kate Antonacci, the director of Panera’s societal impact initiative, said the idea is to provide an opportunity to allow people to help one another and to get people talking about food insecurity in St. Louis. “When one out of six people is hungry in our country … that to me is disturbing,” said St. Louis University High School teacher Bill Brown, who was interviewed while dining in Wildwood. “That shouldn’t be happening in our country.” Keith Kinder, also dining at the company’s Wildwood location, commended the company for their civic responsibility. “You have to be in it for the money, but you can also give back to the community, too,” Kinder said. “That’s what Panera is trying to do. I think it shows in their sales, their stocks and everything else.” “I think it’s a good thing to help people who are less fortunate like that. Not many place do that so it’s nice to know that a company cares,” said Tighe McCandless, a diner at the St. Louis Bread Company in Chesterfield. and 2020. All bonds for The Lodge are expected to be fully paid in 2020. Piper Jafray has been retained as underwriter and Gilmore and Bell as bond counsel for this issue. Bonds are currently being priced and a final recommendation to refinance will be presented at the Board of Aldermen meeting, April 8. As part of the refinancing process, Standard & Poor’s has reaffirmed its AAA rating on Des Peres bonds, citing the strong local economy, strong retail tax base, high per capita wealth, low tax burden and the healthy operations and strong reserves of the city.

Cancer Society seeks volunteers The American Cancer Society is seeking volunteers interested in giving patients a great gift: a ride to treatment. Transportation is often a barrier for cancer patients and the Society’s Road to Recovery® program tackles the problem head-on. Road to Recovery volunteers drive patients to treatment centers and home again. More volunteers are needed in St. Louis City and County to ensure that all patients have transportation when they need it. “One cancer patient requiring radiation therapy could need anywhere from 20 to 30 trips to treatment in six weeks,” said Katie Wrenn, community manager for the American Cancer Society. “A patient receiving chemotherapy might report for treatment weekly for up to a year. As you can imagine, patients often need help when relatives and friends are unavailable. This program helps to ensure that there is no break in their treatment process because of this need.” Training for interested volunteers will be held Friday, April 5 from 10 a.m.-noon at the American Cancer Society office, 4207 Lindell Blvd. Additional information is available by calling (314) 286-8177.

Ameren files application for coal ash pond in Labadie
Coal ash that, according to the LEO, could go airborne.
By CAROL ENRIGHT On March 25, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) issued a press release stating that it had received an application from Ameren Missouri to construct a utility waste landfill near the company’s Labadie Energy Center in Franklin County. This is the latest action by Ameren in a push to build a coal ash landfill in Labadie that residents and environmental groups have been fighting for nearly four years. The Labadie Environmental Organization (LEO) has been leading efforts to prevent another coal ash pond in Labadie. LEO has argued, since its inception in the summer of 2009, that the issue isn’t landfills or coal production but where they are located. Ameren’s coal-fired power plant in Labadie sits in a flood plain next to the Missouri River.

“We know we’re going to make coal waste and we know we need to landfill it,” said LEO’s director, Patricia Schuba. “But we don’t need to landfill it in our drinking water.” Burning coal for energy produces coal ash, a waste material that contains contaminants such as mercury, cadmium, arsenic, lead, hexavalent chromium and other heavy metals that have been proven harmful to humans. LEO has long contended that Ameren’s current ponds leak, that the company did little to address leaks and that the ponds have been leaking for over 20 years. Ameren maintains that it addressed those leaks and, in April 2012, released a report stating that groundwater tests at three sites around the plant discovered no groundwater contamination. LEO said the reports were not credible because the testing wells were placed too far away and upstream from the leaky
pond. So, the debate goes on. Prior to the testing, LEO had filed a lawsuit against the Franklin County Commission for passing utility landfill regulations that would allow Ameren to build the new coal ash pond. In January, Associate Circuit Court Judge Robert D. Schollmeyer ruled for the county and cleared the way for Ameren to proceed with the project. “We are now in the appellate court in the eastern district of Missouri, challenging that decision,” Schuba said. On Feb. 17, Ameren applied to the Public Service Commission (PSC) for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity “authorizing it to construct, install, own, operate, maintain and otherwise control and manage a utility waste landfill and related facilities at its Labadie Energy Center.” LEO and the Sierra Club have intervened in the case. While all of this is happening locally, LEO is lobbying for state and federal regulations that would require groundwater monitoring and contaminant cleanup around new and existing coal ash ponds. “What we would like to see are state regulations that outline what needs to happen around every site in Missouri,” said Schuba. “That does not exist.” On April 17, LEO is heading to Jefferson City to lobby for state groundwater monitoring regulations. Interested parties can learn more on the Labadie-Environmental-Organization Facebook page.
Schnucks continues investigation of credit card fraud By SARAH WILSON After some customers of “The Friendliest Stores in Town” noticed suspicious activity on their credit cards, Schnucks began to look into the matter. “It’s still an ongoing investigation,” said Paul Simon, spokesperson for Schnucks. “We’re working hard to get to the bottom of this.” Schnucks said in a press statement that it became aware of the fact on March 15 that some customers had noticed unauthorized charges on their card statements for credit cards they used at Schnucks. “Schnucks immediately began to investigate these reports and has engaged outside experts, including a nationally recognized forensic firm, to assist,” it said. “We are also cooperating with law enforcement authorities.” As of presstime, the Maryland Heights Police Department had received 34 calls reporting identity theft. “Of the 34, though, not all are, as we see at this point, related to Schnucks,” said Detective Sgt. Rich White, of the Maryland Heights Police Department. “I would not
be comfortable saying the point of compromise is Schnucks. It certainly points in that direction, but we can’t say 100 percent.” Meanwhile, the Missouri Attorney General’s office said as of presstime it had received about 100 calls from consumers either concerned about their credit card or saying they had unauthorized charges on their card. “Until we receive formal complaints, (though), we will not be able to break down those numbers,” said Nanci Gonder, spokesperson for the Attorney General. “We have been in contact with officials from Schnucks Markets. We are working to determine what steps, if any, should be taken on behalf of consumers.” Janet Koth, of Manchester, said she shopped at the Schnucks location in Des Peres. A few hours later, she received a call from the Chase credit card fraud department. Someone at a pharmacy in Texas had charged more than $200 on her card. Chase placed a temporary hold on the card until it spoke to Koth. “While we were on the phone, another transaction from Texas was attempted and declined,” she said.
White said stores affected have been throughout the St. Louis area. “But identify theft seems to be the popular crime right now,” White said. “So it is not uncommon today.” Asked whether it is safe to shop at Schnucks during its investigation, White responded with, “Sure.” “Is it safe to shop online using a credit card?” he said. “Any time you’re using a credit card, there’s always a chance that your numbers could be compromised. “Maybe I’d use cash or a check at this point until it is resolved, but with my past experience working with Schnucks, they are working diligently to get to the bottom of this.” White said if someone identifies any suspicious activity on their credit card to contact their local police department. In addition to the municipal police departments, White said the U.S. Secret Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are involved in the investigation as well. “They’re all going to cooperate together, and it will be a matter of time – hopefully sooner rather than later,” White said.

Borchers seeks top job in Tennessee district By CAROL ENRIGHT As of presstime, Rockwood Superintendent Bruce Borchers was on the short list to be the next superintendent of Oak Ridge Schools, a district located in eastern Tennessee in the city of Oak Ridge just 22 miles northwest of Knoxville. With just over 4,700 students, Oak Ridge is significantly smaller than the Rockwood School District, which has about 22,000 students. According to a report in the Knoxville News Sentinel, Borchers was one of three finalists interviewed for the top position in the school district – out of a pool of 78 applicants – and the only one invited back to the district with his family on April 1 for a tour of the city and a meet-and-greet with community leaders and residents. According to the Oak Ridge Schools website, the district hired a search firm, Ray and Associates, Inc., last summer to conduct a national search for a new superintendent to replace outgoing Superintendent Thomas Bailey, who retired on Dec. 31, 2012. The site also states that the deadline for interviews and final selection of a new superintendent is March 31. Oak Ridge School Board Chairman Keys Fillauer was quoted in the Knoxville News Sentinel as saying, “If (Borchers) is willing and things go well, the potential is there to offer him a contract.” He added that the Board could hold a special meeting on the evening of Borchers’ April 1 visit to vote on the contract. Rockwood School Board President Janet Strate said the Board was aware of Borchers’ interview with Oak Ridge Schools, but she said it was too early to speculate on future plans should he be offered a contract and accept the job. “It’s a big loss for Rockwood if he does resign,” Strate said. Should Borchers accept the new position, it will come with a hefty pay cut. Sources say the new job would pay about $175,000, roughly 25 percent less than his current salary of $234,600. The potential job offer comes at a critical time for the district, which is seeking a $38.4 million bond issue on the April 2 ballot. Borchers joined the district in 2010, and the Board recently extended his contract for another year through June 30, 2016. For the latest details on this story, visit newsmagazinenetwork.com.

Route 141 testing baffles researchers By JIM ERICKSON A leading Iowa State University expert with the school’s National Concrete Pavement Technology Center (NCPTC) admits he and his colleagues are baffled by developments that have affected an experimental section of the new southbound Route 141 roadway south of Olive in West St. Louis County. A 1,500-foot stretch of the road that was opened last summer is topped with a 2-inch layer of concrete mixed with titanium dioxide. The chemical was added to serve as a photo-catalytic agent that absorbs smog, using sunlight to break down harmful nitrogen oxides and releasing nitrogen and carbon dioxide as end products. “But when you’re doing research on experimental methods such as this, sometimes you learn things you don’t expect,” said Dr. James Alleman of Iowa State’s Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering Department and a researcher for the NCPTC. The experimental section of roadway was paved in the fall of 2011 and air quality monitoring has been conducted since then to measure the effectiveness of the concrete-titanium dioxide mix in reducing nitrogen oxides. “Early results showed 40 percent removal of the nitrogen oxides in the air, a very significant amount,” Alleman said. But subsequent testing showed a dramatically different outcome, with removal plummeting to 4 percent. In an effort to find an answer, researchers responded with an analysis of some core samples taken from pavement in the experimental area and a similar number from a section of the roadway where conventional paving was applied. “What we found was a thin layer of calcium carbonate had formed in the test area,” Alleman said. “It seemed the experimental pavement had literally sucked carbon dioxide out of the air and combined it with calcium in the concrete to create a layer that prevented sunlight from reaching the titanium dioxide.” The result definitely wasn’t what the research team had anticipated. That’s

because the calcium carbonate problem has not been reported in Europe where titanium dioxide has been used for a number of years, not only for roadways but as a coating for architectural structures to limit nitrogen oxide exposure that causes discoloration. However, research literature from the European applications appears to be limited to short-term results, Alleman said. The Route 141 paving represents what officials believe is the first U.S. location for testing the smog-alleviating concept. And the technology isn’t cheap, adding some $130,000 to the price tag for paving. Alleman noted that a conference call will be held to review the situation with officials from the Missouri Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration, contractor groups and others with an interest in the technology. “What we now plan to do is physically scrub the pavement in the test area to remove the calcium carbonate,” Alleman said. “We’ve made arrangements with a contractor to handle the job when he has equipment nearby in connection with another project. The work is being done on a not-for-profit basis, so we need to be flexible as to when it’s done. Weather, as well as the timing of the other project, will affect when the scrubbing takes place, but we anticipate it will be later this spring.” Alleman said the scrubbing cost will be paid from discretionary funds the NCPTC maintains for such situations. MoDOT will provide traffic control during the operation. Will scrubbing the pavement ultimately lead to different results? Or will another layer of sunlight-blocking calcium carbonate build up? “We think the problem may not happen again,” Alleman said, “but at this point we don’t know for sure.” One thing is certain though: Results from studies on the experimental segment of Route 141 will become a new chapter to be written about a technology that may, or may not, have a beneficial long-term impact on improving air quality.

Chesterfield honors Arland Stemme as its 2012 Citizen of the Year By SARAH WILSON Every year, the city of Chesterfield honors one of its citizens or contributors who has gone above and beyond in the community. This year, the city has chosen Arland Stemme as its 2012 Citizen of the Year. Stemme attended the city’s biannual volunteer recognition dinner on March 20 with friends and family to share in the celebration and expressed her appreciation in receiving the award. “When I first heard, I said, ‘I’m shocked,’” Stemme said. Citizens of the Year are recognized for their benefit to the city of Chesterfield through volunteerism, working on community projects and overall civic contributions to the community.

Mercy brings future care to expanding Chesterfield complex By JIM ERICKSON Mercy Hospital’s upcoming operations at its Chesterfield campus will include cutting-edge technology designed to monitor the care not only of local patients but also those in other facilities many miles away. A preview of those capabilities – and other plans now being developed for the health care provider’s 40-acre site at Clarkson and I-64 – was presented at a recent meeting of Progress 64 West. Terry Bader, Mercy’s vice president of planning, design and construction, told the group what the new virtual care facility will be able to do brings back images of Dick Tracy using his wrist watch as a telephone in the popular cartoon strip of decades ago. While the detective’s use of unheard of technology seemed fanciful at the time, the ability of skilled nurses and doctors to monitor the condition of stroke victims at multiple locations up to hundreds of miles away not only is mind-boggling, it’s also a
Paving planned for Town & Country roads By MOLLY JAMES Residents in Town & Country will soon be getting updates to many of the municipality’s roads. Town & Country’s Board of Aldermen passed two ordinances on March 26, both of which will result in the paving of various roads within the municipality. The first, ordinance 3732, accepts the bid and authorizes a contract with N.B. West Contracting for the 2013 Asphalt Pavement Program. The bid proposal presented by N.B. West Contracting is for the amount of $1,414,150. Funding has been allocated from the capital improvements fund. The second, ordinance 3733, allows for the city to enter into an agreement with Environmental Operations, Inc. for all inspection services for the paving project. It will receive $43,470 for their management of the project on behalf of the city. Twenty-one roads will be resurfaced and another four will receive surface treatment only. Included in the roads to be resurfaced are Bopp Lane, Conway Estates Drive, Long Meadows Lane, Old Woods Mill Road and Fairfield Oaks Road. Surface treatment only roads include Bopp Road, Mason Ridge Road, South Outer Road and Topping Road. Roads that previously had striping will be restriped as part of the process. Mayor Jon Dalton is pleased with the pace of the project, which is slated to start in the third week of April and end in July.
proven lifesaver, he said. Mercy officials estimate that similar monitoring already being done with heart patients has enabled an estimated 6,000 people, who probably would have died, to complete their treatment successfully and return home, Bader noted. Also envisioned not that far in the future is when a parent whose child has an earache will be able to send a doctor an image with a microscope-like device attached to a smartphone, enabling the physician to make a long-distance diagnosis and prescribe any
necessary treatment, Bader added. The road system in and around the new Mercy campus is the first priority for the Chesterfield location and work on that project now is under way with city officials and the Missouri Department of Transportation, Bader observed. Also in the planning stages is the new orthopedic hospital that will be part of the complex. The virtual care facility and a new corporate headquarters building will round out the operations now planned for the site. While retail shopping locations may appear
to have little in common with medical activities, the strategy applied by both to selecting new sites is much the same, Bader said, explaining why the Chesterfield site was selected. Similarly, health care operations also must respond to what’s going on in the marketplace if they are to be successful, he added. Mercy’s recent expansion efforts have included building a new clinic on Zumbehl Road in St. Charles, a Mid Rivers Mall Drive location where construction soon will begin, and a clinic near Winghaven in O’Fallon expected to open this summer.

CHESTERFIELD - SPA**
By CAROL ENRIGHT This prom season, as girls are shopping for that perfect pair of shoes and boys are contemplating the cheapest way to rent a tux, the Rockwood Drug-Free Coalition is working hard to make sure parents and students “PROMise to celebrate safe and sober.” This message will be on road signs at each Rockwood high school a week before its prom. And it will be repeated in emails and recorded telephone messages from principals to parents, on school posters and on marquees in front of businesses throughout the community. In addition, students will find a special card enclosed in the boxes of the corsages and boutonnières they pick up at local florists and attached to their rental tuxes. On the front, the card says: “PROMise to be alcohol and drug free!” The flipside reminds students that using alcohol can be deadly.

Renee Heney, director of the Rockwood Drug-Free Coalition, said the coalition distributes these cards to all area florists, including Dierbergs, Schnucks and Mary Tuttle’s, as well as all local tuxedo retailers in the weeks leading up to each prom. Last year, the coalition added hair and nail salons to the mix. And the message isn’t only for teens. “In the past several years, we’ve expanded from just wishing everybody a safe and sober celebration to trying to educate parents on social hosting ordinances and restrictions,” said Heney. It’s illegal in Missouri for adults to allow underage drinking on their property, whether they are aware of it or not. Several local cities – including Chesterfield, Wildwood, Eureka and Clarkson Valley – have enacted ordinances that can mean heavy fines, and even jail time, for adults cited for minors drinking or using drugs on their property. Even if underage drinking occurs while the adults are not home, they are still liable. St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch sent a letter to Rockwood residents and businesses in mid-March with a reminder that “… it is unacceptable, and a crime, for minors to consume alcohol and for adults to provide a home or other place
for students to drink.” “It’s kind of a saturation of the community, so that everybody knows that the district, the coalition and all of our community partners are in this together to do whatever it is we can do to keep our kids safe,” Heney explained. Wildwood Police Capt. Ken Williams said the “safe celebration” campaign is a message with teeth. The coalition provides funding to support extra “party patrols” searching for parties where underage drinking is suspected on prom nights. St. Louis County’s highway safety unit provides extra alcohol checkpoints throughout the community on prom nights, as well. And the word is getting out. “We’re saying these extra patrols are out there looking for this and, in fact, they are out there,” said Williams. “So it’s making the parents and the students heed that warning. It’s a good deterrent for that type of activity.” The coalition is working with police to increase party patrols around graduation time, too. But Heney said the coalition isn’t too worried about graduation night, “because we know all four high schools have these safe lock-ins.” “After graduation, in the several weeks that follow graduation, that can be a really highrisk time,” Heney said. “So we partner with our law enforcement agencies to help provide some funding for some extra party patrols.” The coalition offers a tip sheet on RockwoodCoalition.org to help parents support safe celebrations during high-risk nights, such as prom. But Heney said the most important thing parents can do is to know their child’s plans for the evening and be alert to any changes in those plans. She also said parents should talk to each other. “It’s not good enough that the parents are checking in and their child is checking in with them,” Heney said. “But what are the other parents hearing from their children? In fact, when parents compare notes with other parents, that’s when they find out, ‘Oh my goodness, they’re really not at this home.’” Williams added that parents should “have frank, open discussions with (their) children about drinking alcohol at social functions and, just as importantly, about driving and getting behind a wheel.” The potentially fatal effects of drunk driving will be shown to students in graphic crash re-enactments at each Rockwood high school during prom week. In light of this grim reminder of the often-tragic consequences of underage drinking, Williams said parents should tell their children that if they do find themselves intoxicated, they should call home for a ride – without fear of any immediate repercussions. “The first thing is to get the child home,” Williams said.

By WARREN MAYES Incarnate Word Academy capped a 31-0 season with a commanding 63-22 victory over the Webb City Cardinals to win the recent Class 4 championship game at Mizzou Arena. It was the Red Knights’ fifth state championship and their third title in four years under coach Dan Rolfes, who has led the program for the past 13 years.

Parkway Central racquetball champ also scores in football, baseball and squash them before, but I played well enough to capture the state title so that’s all that matters.” After the state tournament, the nationals were held in St. Louis. Lazenby did well in them, too. He placed in the top eight out of roughly 300 athletes. “I have been playing racquetball ever since I could hold up a racquet on my own at about age 4 or 5,” Lazenby said. “My dad would take me and my brothers out on the court and just bang around so that definitely helped (us) getting used to a racquet early on.” The game is one that appeals to Lazenby. “What I like about the sport is that it is very fast paced. You are always moving around and never standing still,” Lazenby said. “Everyone else that plays the sport is very nice. I’ve made a lot of new friends Zack Lazenby playing racquetball.” Lazenby practices at the Missouri AthBy WARREN MAYES Parkway Central junior Zack Lazenby letic Club and play tournaments at Vetta entered the state racquetball tournament Sports Concord. He plays in a “very comundefeated and the No. 1 seed. When it petitive adult league” each Tuesday. So he gets plenty of time to work on his game. was over, he was a champion. However, Lazenby is no one-trick pony. Lazenby defeated St. Louis University High’s Thomas Riganti 15-8, 15-9. In In addition to racquetball, he plays footthe final, Lazenby faced Parkway West’s ball for Parkway Central coach Mark Goldenberg and this spring he is the startCurtis Smith and won 15-11, 15-14. “I played reasonably well,” Lazenby said. ing third baseman for the second consecu“I would have to say my opponents played tive varsity baseball season under coach the best they have whenever I have played Ryan Connors.
Lazenby also plays squash. “He’s a very good athlete,” Goldenberg said. “He’s got great hand-eye coordination. He probably could play anything to tell you the truth. He’s a very talented kid. “Everybody wants him all the time and he doesn’t want to let anybody down. He wants to help all the sports teams out.” Seeing his quarterback win the state racquetball tourney did not surprise Goldenberg. “He’s that good,” said Goldenberg. “This is the second or third year that he’s been nationally ranked. He’s just a talented athlete.” Lazenby is all-state and all-American in racquetball. Last year as a sophomore, he was the only sophomore to get all-American and all-state honors. But he’s picked up honors in football, too. Last fall, he was the leading scorer for the Colts. He was named to the third team all-Suburban South Conference as a quarterback and he made the all-conference second team as a punter and placekicker. Lazenby was a captain for Parkway Central, which reached the Class 4 semifinals, losing to Kirkwood, the eventually state champions. In his first season as the quarterback, Lazenby helped the Colts to an 11-2 record. He scored six touchdowns and booted three field goals in addition to 43 extra points. He completed 53 of 108
passes for 1,013 yards and 12 touchdowns for the run-oriented Colts. “I thought he did an excellent job for us,” Goldenberg said. “He was very good at what he did. He took over the role of quarterback very quickly. He was a very good kicker for us, too. He demonstrates leadership and an ability to see things on the field and make adjustments. He has a lot of great attributes.” Lazenby said racquetball “for sure helps me with football.” “It builds up arm strength and, most importantly, my footwork.” Lazenby said. “In both sports, footwork is a key contributor in my success. Having quick feet and proper placement is huge and since racquetball deals a lot with footwork. It definitely helps my footwork in football. It is a great aerobic workout, so it helps keep me in shape.” As as a sophomore, Lazenby was the starting kicker and punter as well as the backup quarterback. “Right now I am playing baseball and playing squash and practicing football in the mornings before school,” Lazenby said. All that is good, Goldenberg said. “I think anytime you compete at that level in racquetball, swimming or whatever, you have to think fast make adjustments. That helps you in everything from football to baseball. “I’ll tell you, he’s just a great kid.”

“The financial incentives can improve results and improve compliance and adherence.”
Aspirin may reduce melanoma risk
A Mayo Clinic study found that financial incentives can help people lose weight.
Cashing in on weight loss Money talks when it comes to losing weight, according to a Mayo Clinic study. To find out if financial incentives would help people lose weight, Mayo Clinic researchers assigned 100 adults aged 18-63 with a body mass index (BMI) of 30-39.9 to one of four weight loss groups, two of which offered financial incentives. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines as “obese” anyone with a BMI of 30 or greater. Study participants all were given a goal of losing 4 pounds a month and were weighed once a month for a year. Those in the incentive groups received $20 each month they met their weight loss goals;
each month they failed to meet their goals, they paid $20 to a bonus pool, which incentive group participants were eligible to win by lottery at the study’s conclusion. Only about one-fourth (26 percent) of participants in the non-incentive groups completed the study, compared to 62 percent of those with financial incentives. The mean weight loss for those with incentives was slightly more than 2 pounds, while the mean weight loss of those in incentive groups was about 9 pounds. “The take-home message is that sustained weight loss can be achieved by financial incentives,” lead author Dr. Steven Driver, Mayo Clinic internal medicine resident said.
New DIABETES Study
Encouraging Study on Type II Diabetes Shows the disease CAN BE REVERSED in as little as ONE WEEK. A free guide has just been made available to Type II diabetics detailing an approach more powerful than any drug known to modern science. The free diabetic guide explains in plain English how many diabetics have been able to reduce and eliminate their drugs and insulin injections, lose weight without exercise, reduce and eliminate the risk for diabetic complications, restore pancreatic function, and even become non-diabetic. The free guide also reveals rarely used diagnostic testing that is helping doctors understand potential causes of diabetes beyond weight gain, genetics, and lack of exercise. To receive your free guide (available only while supplies last) call toll free 1-800-803-1452 or go to www.StLouisDiabetesReport.com. Dr. Duane J. Marquart, D.C.
Taking aspirin seems to lower the risk of the deadliest form of skin cancer. According to a study published in CANCER, a journal of the American Cancer Society, the anti-inflammatory effects of aspirin may help prevent melanoma. Researchers working on the Women’s Health Initiative analyzed data on nearly 60,000 Caucasian women aged 50-79 for an average of 12 years and found that those who took more aspirin were less likely to develop melanoma than those who did not. Overall results showed a 21 percent lower risk of the cancer among aspirin users, as compared to non-users. An increase in duration of use was linked to an even greater reduction in risk, with women who took aspirin for five or more years having a 30 percent lower melanoma risk than non-aspirin users. Other pain medications, including acetaminophen, did not lower melanoma risk among the women studied.
Preventing in-flight peanut/ tree nut problems There are several steps people who are allergic to peanuts or tree nuts can take to reduce their chances of having an allergic reaction on an airplane, a recent survey found. Dr. Matthew Greenhawt, a pediatrician at
the University of Michigan’s Allergy Center, led a team of researchers who surveyed more than 3,200 airline passengers, 349 of whom had reported having had an allergic reaction during an airline flight. Passengers with peanut/tree nut allergies who took the following steps had significantly lower odds of having an allergic reaction: • requesting any accommodation • requesting a peanut/tree nut-free meal • wiping their tray table with a commercial wipe • avoiding use of airline pillows • avoiding use of airline blankets • requesting a peanut/tree nut-free buffer zone • requesting other passengers not consume products containing peanuts/tree nuts • not consuming airline-provided food

Choosing the right summer camp Deciding to send a child to camp for the first time is one thing; choosing the right camp for that child presents another challenge. To help parents with their summer camp decisions, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) produced “Planning for Summer Camp Already? You Bet!” – an interview with Alison Tothy, M.D., medical director of pediatric emergency medicine at University of Chicago Children’s Hospital. A physician and mother of two children, Tothy shared her opinions from medical and parental perspectives. Determining whether a child is ready for sleepover camp is a “very personal, childbased decision,” Tothy said. “For some kids, (sending them to overnight camp) is pushing them out of their comfort zone, and sometimes, kids need to be pushed out of their comfort zone,” she said. “I’m a huge proponent of even small
amounts of overnight camp.” Children do not necessarily need to have experienced a successful sleepover at a friend’s house to prove that they’re ready for camp, Tothy said, but they do need to have demonstrated some sort of independence. Asked what parents should look for in a camp, Tothy said, “I think you want to look for a camp that trains their staff appropriately, trains them about different types of health and safety issues, different ways to take care of kids and talk to kids and relate to kids. … I also think you want to look at the overall safety environment.” Another thing to consider, she said, is camp curriculum. While some children will have the time of their lives at a baseball or soccer camp, a child who does not play sports and is not particularly competitive probably is better suited for another type of camp, such as one that caters to creative arts or offers a variety of activities.

By CAROL ENRIGHT Poison ivy, skinned knees and sunburns are almost as much a part of summer camp as fireside sing-alongs and s’mores. But from allergies to chronic health conditions, today’s camps must be prepared to handle much more. Linda Erceg, executive director of the Association of Camp Nurses, largely attributes the rise in the number of children with health issues attending camp to medical advances that allow them to be more self-sufficient in managing their conditions away from home. “If you think about a kid with asthma, that nebulizer that they need used to be in the emergency room 20 years ago. Now, that machine sits on a bedside table at home,” Erceg said. Camp Sabra, located in the Ozarks, recently broke ground on a new 3,000-square-foot health center that is more than twice the size of its old infirmary. Camp Director Terri Grossman estimates that Sabra’s 500 campers will visit the new health center nearly 14,000 times this summer. She said it’s important for parents, especially those with children who have health issues, to find out what level of medical care is available at a camp. “We have a doctor and two nurses on campus all the time,” Grossman said. “Some camps literally just have first-aid stations. Some camps will have volunteers who are there to hand out meds.” Matt Garcia, director of YMCA’s Camp Lakewood in the Ozarks, said that in the 20 years he has worked at camps, he has seen a dramatic rise in campers with food – especially peanut – allergies. Garcia said the best way for parents to make sure their children are in good hands while at camp is to communicate with the camp director.

“The most important thing that we do is get a good partnership going with the parents, so that everyone is really well informed – so that we know the specifics of any camper’s needs and the parents are part of our solution-making process on what we may or may not have to do to make it work for that camper,” Garcia said. Developing independent skills is the desired outcome of many campers’ parents, but for kids with health conditions, sleepover camp might not be the best way to test out those skills for the first time. “When I’m talking with this kind of parent, I’ll often say, ‘OK, has your child spent at least a weekend at somebody else’s home, who isn’t family, and they’ve not had to call you every two seconds to ask a question about whatever their health concern is? How did they do with that?” Erceg said. Like Garcia, Erceg recommends parents discuss their child’s health requirements with the camp director or camp nurse. She said parents should ask about the minimum level of medical credentials at camp all the time “because nurses have days off.” It’s also important to ask how far the camp is from definitive care, such as a hospital, should a child require serious medical attention. “Camp could be up a mountain, and it takes you an hour to get down to definitive care,” Erceg said. Garcia said that with three nurses on staff and a doctor on site most of the time, his camp is prepared to handle minor first aid and most medical emergencies in a temporary capacity. “If there’s any doubt whatsoever, we’re going to call 911,” said Garcia, adding that the camp’s 911 response time is about 10 minutes.

SUMMER CAMP CAMPS ARE $80 PER WEEK
The sense of independence children gain at camp can last long after camp has ended.
Children typically return home from summer camp with lots of stories to tell about their newfound friends and fun adventures. If parents pay close attention, they likely will find that their kids return from camp also with a new sense of independence. For many children, summer camp provides the first long-term separation from family. Unlike life at home where parents are expected to run interference when siblings don’t get along, camp requires kids to settle things among themselves. Campers must be responsible for their own belongings, look out for fellow campers and do their fair share of camp chores. An American Camp Association (ACA)
survey showed that nearly three-fourths of campers try things at camp that at first they were afraid to do. Even a child who works through homesickness at camp gains independence through learning that he or she can survive for a week or more away from family. How can families keep that camp spirit of independence alive after their children return home? The ACA offers these tips: • Remember to remind. If the camp spirit begins to fade a week or two after the child is home, use positive reinforcement to remind him that you appreciate the positive attitude and willingness to help that he developed at camp. • Become camp-like. Demonstrate a willingness to change something at home in order to sustain some of the changes the camper has made. For example, hang up a job wheel that outlines chores. • Give everyone a say. At camp, kids help determine how their day is spent. Their advice is actively sought, and they feel like equal players. Emulating that environment at home allows a child to continue to stand up for herself and feel like a contributing member of the household. • Avoid the negative compliment. Do not inadvertently sabotage a child’s efforts by pointing out differences in behavior. Instead of saying, “You never did this before,” praise good behaviors in a genuine way, saying, for example, “I noticed how patient you were with your little brother.” By positively reinforcing good behaviors learned at camp, parents can help kids reap the benefits of camp long after they return home.

Eureka resident John Devine, shown here with some of his artwork
that they have been used in spiritual healing. As a child growing up in Eureka, Devine developed an interest in finding and collecting Indian relics. He still has that collection and currently keeps 150 Indian portraits in his studio. His Indian paintings have been featured in the Canadian edition of the UK’s Able Magazine. He also has a penchant for Oriental art. “As a member of U.S. Marine Corps serving in Korea from 1951-53, I fell in love with Oriental art and have a great collection of Chinese pieces,” he explained. Devine lived in Kirkwood for 25 years and in 1990 returned to Eureka, where he resides in the home studio that his architect son designed. He holds a degree from Oklahoma State University in agronomy and worked for more than 20 years at the CIA’s defense mapping agency in St. Louis.

By SHEILA FRAYNE RHOADES Eureka artist John Devine believes in reincarnation. “My admiration for the Native Americans that I paint possibly stems from having been one in the past,” the 83-year-old Devine said. Although he enjoys painting landscapes and animals, the American Indian is Devine’s favorite artistic subject. Since 1963, he has created more than 500 paintings. For the most part, he is a self-taught artist. As a youngster, he said, he began copying cartoons and doodling. He continued to draw throughout his high school and college years and eventually, he took some classes from two well-known artists. “I studied with (the late) Brother Matthew (Gallagher, O.S.F.) for six months and later took several courses from Dhmitri Zonia,” said Devine, who has mastered both oil and acrylics. Devine always begins with a brush, not making any pre-sketches. Over the years, he has sold more than 300 paintings, but these days, he said, he paints “only for pleasure.” His realistic Indian portraits come from a special sort of inspiration. “While painting, I feel overcome by something spiritual,” Devine said. “The Indians are here with me when I paint.” The models for Devine’s Indian paintings were discovered in a book containing Joseph Kossuth Dixon’s photogravures from the 1913 Rodman Wanamaker Expedition of Citizenship to the North American Indian. Devine transformed those striking black and white images into vibrant colored paintings. “I wanted to bring them back to life,” said Devine, whose paintings are so impressive

Bombarded by messages Dancing penguins, flying squirrels, gentle elephants – who’s really talking to our kids By SHANNON IGNEY “You talkin’ to me?” Well, as a matter of fact, yes. Every day, the movies and television shows you’re watching are talking to you – and not just to you. They also are talking to any kids who might be listening, leaving parents to wonder how all this “talking” is affecting their kids or if it’s being noticed at all. There’s no doubt about it – media messages are more prevalent today than in any previous period of time. Despite recent inventions that allow viewers to skip commercials, the noise is everywhere. Whether watching a television program, using a personal digital device, riding public transportation, shopping at the local grocer or watching the latest blockbuster on the big screen, companies are finding savvy ways to advertise products. Additionally, political and religious organizations, colleges and universities, not-for-profits and multiple other groups have followed suit. Many messages are subliminal or subtextual in nature. Subliminal is defined as “below threshold,” meaning it is an unconscious perception. In television or films, subliminal messages is most often communicated via pictures or sounds. Viewers take the information into the subconscious mind to process and store all the while unaware that they are doing so. Subtext or undertone is defined as an underlying theme or an implied relationship between characters in a book, movie, play or film. Subtext is never explicitly stated, but is often recognized to be present within a dialogue. It’s a common tool within media for the creator to relay ideals, principles, controversial relationships or political statements in an understated manner. Messaging and children The subtext and subliminal messages that exist within media are impossible to eliminate completely. As such, children today are exposed to them at a much earlier age and in
much greater number simply due to the fact that media are everywhere. Adults are able to filter and process this onslaught of messaging and are therefore able to either accept or reject a message with little to no affect. But what about children? Does the existence of subtext and subliminal messaging affect them in any way? Joel Nadler, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center, said any discussion of kids and media should begin with a couple of caveats. “First, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children under 3 should not watch movies or television at all; for older children the recommended dose of media is two hours a day,” Nadler said. “Second, it is best for parents to screen what their kids are watching and, when possible, watch with their kids and discuss with them what they’ve seen.” Although the AAP strongly advises against movies and television before a certain age, chances are the recommendation is not followed to the letter by today’s parents. Parents might assume a child is safe from harmful media messages if the child is limited to viewing age appropriate programming. And with regard to violence and language this is often the case. Television networks and movie production companies follow the rating specifications for these requirements stringently. But what about more subtle messaging? “I have noticed both my 5-year-old and my 3-year-old picking up on messages of the films they watched,” said Jeremy Scott, parent and Film Club Faculty Adviser at Westminster Christian Academy. “Almost always after watching a movie my 5-year-old asks questions, which brings about wonderful discussions. As a family, my wife and I welcome dialogue about what we watch and we never want our kids confused
when they watch something,” Scott said. It’s a matter of age When it comes to determining whether a message a child has been confronted with can cause affect; negative or positive, it is helpful to have a rudimentary understanding of the basic phases of child development. Erik Erickson, a renowned psychologist in the world of child psychiatry, suggests that a child’s neurological capability does not allow for the process of information outside of the “ID” (self) to take place until the ages of 5 to 7. Erikson’s theory, which is supported by most child psychology professionals, states that a child’s neurological interests are focused on all things relating to selfawareness and reality. The concept of fantasy is not yet understood. Therefore, it is a safe assumption that children under age 5 are unaware of the existence of subtext and subliminal messages. Experts believe the age range where outside messages can begin to seep into a child’s neurological awareness begins around age 7. Kids this age understand fantasy from fiction and have a solid understanding of right and wrong, have a firm grasp of cause-andeffect and logic, which plays into understanding structure of the characters within the structure of the movie. This allows children in this age group to pick up on the issues of the film, both main and subtextual, although they still are less capable of relating those issues to the real world. “Kids between the ages of 6 and 11 are typically able to think more logically, but their understanding is limited to the tangible, what they are experiencing and what they know. So, they are more likely to understand that what they are watching is ‘just a movie,’” Nadler said. The period of development where messaging has the most affect is the adolescent stage; ages 12 to 18.
This is a very critical stage of neurological development as it is the period of time where a child begins to formulate a set of ideals, beliefs and goals for themselves, which will shape them as an adult. Children in this age group are capable of higher reasoning that would include being able to think about things hypothetically and being able to deal with overarching concepts. Age-appropriate, but not message-free Many children are limited to watching films that carry an age appropriate rating, but that doesn’t mean they’re free from messaging. Age-appropriate movies and television programs often include social and environmental topics, which are sometimes controversial. This subtext can cause conflict for families in many ways, serving as the introduction of topics, beliefs and opinions that challenge the rules and familial norms to which a child is accustomed. Steve Lauer, a West County parent with pre-teen to teenage children, said, “Typically, we tend to be close to the fast-forward remote button, but usually watch movies with tough content such as torture in “Zero Dark Thirty” or “Argo.” Great movies, but real-life stuff with hard to discuss topics for younger kids. “I believe in the right context, these type movies – “Hurt Locker” or “Taken,” for example – open a dialogue about how dangerous life can be and things to be aware of going on around us.”

NEWSMAGAZINENETWORK.COM COVER STORY, from page 48 Awareness in life and in the movies is key to understanding the big picture and making informed personal decisions. “As a child’s life becomes more open and less about the ‘self,’ message and meaning start to become noticed,” said Dr. Duru Sakhrani, the medical director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Mercy Children’s Hospital. Sakhrani describes the development process as a series of building blocks, suggesting that children are unable to understand messages sent to them in their full meaning until they have grasped basic concepts of good, evil, real, fantasy, language, etc. He points to Erikson’s theory of child development, explaining that it can be applied and proven using many current television programs and movies. “Sesame Street,” for instance, often alludes to social topics, but most go over the head of the children who are watching. Children may hear Elmo singing a song about using nice words like ‘please’ and ‘thank you,’ but according to Erikson, children do not understand that using polite words is a social norm for behavior. Likewise, if a subliminal message exists within a show they are watching, it is likely to be ignored by children under age 5 to 7. “Happy Feet,” released by Warner Brothers Studios in 2006, is another prime example. On the surface, viewers witnesses a family-friendly story about happy, dancing penguins. In reality, however, the story is communicating issues much greater. The plot tells the story of the Emperor Penguin mating habits and rituals and the increasingly difficult ability to do so in today’s environment. The dialogue suggests this is a direct result of human interference including overfishing and global warming. Using Erikson’s cognitive development chart, for children around the age of 3 to 5, the movie is about cute penguins dancing. If those same children were to watch the movie again at around the age of 7 or 8, the subtexts of environment and social responsibility would be recognized, and to some extent, understood. By the time those same children are adolescents they would no doubt be able to understand “Happy Feet” as a parable that directly relates to the real world issues of environment, political views and social norms. Helping children to make sense of those issues is up to parents. Lauer said that ratings do “play a role, but I have found that for the most part as long as we are with the kids to discuss before and after, we lean more on our own judgment that the rating system of Hollywood.” “There is a great website that we try to check first before every movie called kidsinmind.com, and we have found that it is a good resource,” he added.
More abundant, but nothing new Subtext and subliminal messaging is nothing new. “I look back to some movies to the ‘80s and ‘90s and compared to today’s ratings, it is hard to tell sometimes (whether they are appropriately rated or not). For example, certain movies like ‘Cady Shack’ showed a lot more nudity back then, than now. Some of the ‘classics’ like ‘Pretty In Pink’ or ‘St. Elmo’s Fire’ had very adult themes back then,” Lauer said. But messaging goes back even further than many parents of today’s youth may realize. The popular television cartoon “Rocky & Bullwinkle,” which aired from 1961-1973, was on the surface a simple cartoon featuring arch villains Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale endlessly competing against a flying squirrel named Rocky and an affable moose named Bullwinkle. In reality, the cartoon was a political satire of the cold war between Russia and the United States. Heralded children’s author Dr. Seuss, who was born in 1904, was a master of using subtext in his works. In “The Lorax,” published in 1971, Seuss tackles the issues of corporate greed and environmentalism. “Horton Hears a Who,” originally published in 1954, addressed the very grown-up topics of war and capitalism. The books have been released as cartoons and, recently, fulllength movie features and all contain rich subtextual dialogue. The importance of talking Agreement of subtext issues can be of importance to parents when it comes to what their children are watching in media, suggested Dr. Sakhrani, but what is more important is how a parent reacts to questions that might arise as a result of what a child sees or hears. “The best advice I have for parents when their children ask about messages that are too complex is to explain in simple words at their level and throw the rest out,” Sakhrani said. For older kids the discussion can and should go deeper, suggested parents Lauer and Scott. “My last comment would be that we try to discuss the topics of art and entertainment, moral and social issues with our kids from a Christian worldview,” Lauer said. “We expect our kids to be difference-makers and leaders (not followers) among their friends. That’s not always easy, but, that’s what expectation we message to them at all times.” “No matter what, film is going to depict good and evil, sin and wrongdoing, and political and social ideals,” Scott said. “This is what drives story, any story. We talk about these ideas often in the film club and it is hopefully at the forefront of our minds when we watch television or film, especially when our children are watching, too.”

FDIC Insurance is provided through the issuer. FDIC insurance covers up to $250,000 (including principal and interest) for deposits held in different ownership categories, including single accounts, joint accounts, trust accounts, IRAs, and certain other retirement accounts, per issuer. CDs are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to a predetermined limit, based on account category. More details are available on fdic.gov. Investors should check all their existing deposits at that bank prior to purchasing its CD so they won’t exceed FDIC insurance limits. CD prices move opposite to interest rates, increasing when rates decline and falling when rates increase. CDs are intended to be held until maturity, as this assures redemption at par value. Investors may sell them before the stated maturity date, if needed, at prevailing market prices, and proceeds may be more or less than the original investment. Market values of longer term CDs tend to be more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. Thus, longer-term CDs are generally not suitable for investors with a short-term horizon. Other factors that may affect CD prices are order size, call features and investor demand. Sales charges may apply. Consider all risks and benefits and how this investment alternative may help meet investment objectives.

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world now and forever. Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us. St. Jude, Worker of Miracles, pray for us. St. Jude, Help of the Hopeless, pray for us. Say prayer nine times a day; by the 8th day prayer will be answered. Say it for nine days. Then publish. Your prayers will be answered. It has never been known to fail. Thank you, St. Jude. KAT
