THOMAS SOWELL

Random Thoughts

Random thoughts on the passing scene: All sorts of “global warming� advocates have all sorts of ideas for cooling the planet. I would be happy if they would just cool the rhetoric.

A newspaper headline said: “U.S. Growing Impatient with Iran.� Boy, won’t that scare them to death? If they keep going, and make enough nuclear bombs to blast us to smithereens, we will go to the United Nations and get a resolution passed, condemning their actions – or, if the U.N. won’t go that far, deploring their lack of cooperation.

Contrary to what has been widely believed, scholars say that Neanderthals had bigger brains than we have. Why did they become extinct then? Maybe they got too smart for their own good.

When someone in New York says, “Excuse me, sir,� you know that you are really old.

Umpire Jim Joyce, who publicly admitted that his wrong call cost pitcher Armando Galarraga a perfect game, and Galarraga himself both exhibited grace in the way they reacted to the situation. How long has it been since anyone has done anything that called for the word “grace�?

When you consider what an enormous windfall gain it is to be born in America, it is painful to hear some people complain bitterly that someone else got a bigger windfall gain than they did.

After North Korea torpedoed a South Korean ship, killing 46 sailors, was there even one-tenth the outrage that is ringing out loudly around the world because of nine deaths that resulted from Israeli commandoes intercepting a ship heading for the Gaza strip?

In political rhetoric, “comprehensive immigration reform� means amnesty up front and promises of border control later – promises that have not been kept in the past and are unlikely to be kept in the future. Anyone who is serious, as distinguished from political, knows that you have to control your own borders before you can even have an immigration policy that means anything in practice.

Even though some people say we are living in a “knowledge economy,� we are living in a political atmosphere in which ignorance has more power than ever. Washington politicians who have never run any

business are telling all kinds of businesses – from automobile companies and banks to hospitals and insurance companies – how they have to run their businesses. This is the golden age of ignorance in power.

Electrical cords seem to be very sociable.

Whenever there are two that are near each other, they almost always seem to get intertwined.

It is one of the signs of our times when people in the media ask how some of our home-grown terrorists could “turn against their own country.� This was never their country – and giving them citizenship papers will never make them or anybody else a real citizen, in the sense of someone loyal to this country.

Even experienced politicians would have a hard time coming up with a more grossly misleading phrase than “the Middle East peace process.�

We cannot recapture the past, but sometimes it can recapture us – if we are not careful.

Just as the American left has adopted blacks as mascots, so the international left has adopted Palestinians as mascots. In both cases, the actual well-being of the mascots is not the point.

Mascots exist to be symbols for others.

In all the years when the Arab states controlled the area that Israel took over after the 1967 war, nobody cared what happened to the Palestinians, much less offered them a homeland.

Whether Barack Obama is simply incompetent as President or has some hidden agenda to undermine this country, at home and abroad, he has nearly everything he needs to ruin America, including a fool for a Vice President.

We have now reached the truly dangerous point where we cannot even be warned about the lethal, fanatical and suicidal hatred of our Islamic extremist enemies in our midst, because to do so would be politically incorrect here and, in some European countries, would be a violation of laws against inciting hostility to groups.

Perhaps he should look Thank you to the kind gentleman and his at Mexico’s illegal alien law, which makes

being in Mexico illegally a felony subject to two years in prison on the first offense rather than being a misdemeanor, as in the United States.

How can he criticize a U.S. law that treats his people far more humanely than the Mexican law treats our people? The crux of the matter is that the Mexican people would not be coming to the United States illegally if Mexico made their own country a desirable place for most of its citizens to live. The writer has spent a great deal of time in Mexico, loves the country and its people; but, the government of Mexico has a long history of corruption and making laws that do not offer opportunity for many of its people to escape poverty. The writer also has no issue with immigration to our great country, including the immigration of Mexican nationals to the United States. I only ask that they follow our laws in doing so. If we conclude that our laws need to be modified, we should have a debate about how to do it.

The United Nations has also criticized the Arizona immigration law, but here again the United Nations is showing what a useless organization it is. Instead of spending its energy criticizing a law that makes it a misdemeanor to be in the United States illegally, why is it not focused on situations such as Iran where three Americans who stumbled across the border from Iraq have now been imprisoned for eight months without benefit of legal council or other contact with the outside world on the claim by the Iranian government that they are spies?

Once again, the Iranian government is holding U.S. citizens hostage for political gain and the United Nations is focused on the possibility that an Arizona law enforcement agent might overstep his/her authority in the future.

It is becoming tiresome listening to people claim racism or discrimination due to their own failures, lack of initiative and desire to blame others when misfortune strikes. It is time for people to take personal responsibility, get off their derrieres and stop looking for others to make life comfortable for them. In the case of the United Nations and countries such as Mexico, it is time for them to examine how the successful countries got that way and use what they learn as an example. They must stop expecting the rest of world to lift them up over and over again.

As many have said, the definition of insanity is to continue behaving as you always have while expecting different

results. For U.S. government officials like Barack Obama and his administration, it is time to stop pushing us to behave like the insane or failed countries elsewhere.

Instead, they should encourage improving the practices that made the United States the greatest country in the world and defend us against the illegitimate claims of foreign politicians who wish to use us to hide their own failures.

Why are we allowing failed countries to tell us how to be successful?

Questioning speed enforcement To the Editor: Anyone by chance happen to notice the speed enforcement going on from West Glenn to Hwy. T on Route 100? How could you not!

Here’s the deal: Speed enforcement is a totally legitimate and necessary function of every police department. My question is, are the resources we are paying for being used to benefit all residents in all areas?

Driving that 4-mile stretch of road, it is totally common to see as many as three or four cruisers either driving back and forth shooting radar or parked on Mueller Road, Pond Road or in the median under Hwy. 109. It is very common to pass one (cruiser) parked at two of these locations at the same time (a half-mile apart), as well as one or two cruising. Both Mueller and Pond have permanent paved spots for them to park. Isn’t enforcement supposed to be random?

Here are my questions: • Is this super highway-sized stretch of road a particularly dangerous thoroughfare – more so than the miles of twisting, hilly roads throughout Wildwood?

• Is police presence around our schools totally covered? Again, speed enforcement is necessary, but the concentration on this piece of road seems to be over the top.

• Aren’t there other areas of our city that could use more attention?

• Is this all about generating revenue, and is part of it because the station is almost exactly in the middle of this stretch and it’s really convenient to get back to the shop?

Sure doesn’t look good.

EDITORIAL

Say it ain’t so Say it ain’t so. Seems like max frustration these days as the Cardinals’ ownership and more importantly fans are learning an expensive lesson. What lesson? $120 million just doesn’t buy what it used to.

Even though the big bucks are spent by the Cardinals over seven years, as the midpoint of this the first full season approaches, the Cardinals’ mega investment in Matt Holliday is at the least frustrating the fans, management and ownership of the Cardinals.

We’ve been hearing all year he is a slow starter, that he will heat up, and in the end when we look back, he will put up the kind of impressive numbers expected from a proven superstar. He has done it many times before.

But then again, maybe not. Batting a weak .284 and with 25 meager runs batted in, coupled with at best average defensive skills in left field, the enthusiasm of his signing in January has given way to major frustration with his performance this year, so far.

While his career numbers remain impressive, his contributions to this year’s team remain modest at best. Failing to produce time and time again with runners in scoring position and at key times in important games has become Holliday’s trademark. His performance to-date is not what the Cardinals bargained for, if the word “bargain” can ever St. Louis Cardinals Matt Holliday swings and misses at a baseball to end the eighth inning with a man on third base against be associated with a $16 million-per-year player. the Seattle Mariners at Busch Stadium in St. Louis on June 16, 2010. Seattle won the game 2-1. UPI/Bill Greenblatt Even Tony LaRussa and his staff realize Holliday’s struggles and are trying to help his cause by bating him second in front of Albert, just hoping he can make solid contact with some of the fat ones he will surely get to hit. So far, changing his spot in the batting order has done little to help.

From afar, Holliday seems like a nice guy, and it is reported he is a hard worker. But the results to-date are disappointing, to say the least. It has been suggested that he feels the pressure to produce based on the big contract and that he is pressing or “gripping “It was a great speech if you were on another planet the bat too tight.” Maybe he should know that goes with the territory when you make $120 million. for the last 57 days.”

Whatever the reason, it’s past time for Matt Holliday to get his act together and deliver. He’s done it throughout his successful career, he did it for the Cardinals last -MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, referencing President Obama’s speech on the Gulf oil year, and he needs to do it again. Typically, Matt has been a strong second-half player. spill. Yes, that Keith Olbermann.

He is capable of hammering the ball and helping the team and in the process, he can once again endear himself to Cardinal Nation. Those of us who are just great fans don’t mind spending the owners’ money – we just expect their huge investment in high-priced talent to pay off with hits, runs and wins.

“They’re going to destroy our economy and make us like Most fans don’t like your salary and definitely don’t like your agent, but they are Europe, and all of this goes on a big credit card that will rooting for you and the team to be successful. So, Matt Holliday, relax, crush the ball, drive in some runs and enjoy your big money.

Quotable:

have to be paid by our grandkids.”

News Br iefs BALLWIN Paragliding fatality A 40-year-old Ballwin resident on the morning of Sun., June 13 was killed in a paragliding accident. As Andrey Azarskova took off from a field near Columbia, Ill., his parachute was caught in a gust of wind. “Witnesses said that he appeared to be running and hopping out of control,�

Columbia Police Chief Joe Edwards said.

A gust of wind pushed Azarskova toward a nearby street, where he crashed-landed into the side of a pick-up truck.

Police, fire and EMS officials responded to the scene. Azarskova was taken by ambulance to St. Anthony’s Hospital in South St. Louis County, where he was pronounced dead.

Within an hour of stealing a credit card, Zammit would use it to purchase highend watches, jewelry and clothing. In one instance, he purchased $1,600 worth of Dom Perignon champagne, police said.

After Zammit was caught on surveillance video using a stolen credit card at a West County jewelry store, Chesterfield Police on June 9 requested the public’s help in identifying him. He used that card to steal more than $12,000 in merchandise from the jewelry store and from a wine shop.

Police said assistance from the media enabled them to identify Zammit.

Suspect identified Chesterfield Police have identified the individual who stole a credit card from an area fitness center and used it at a West County jewelry store.

Notice is hereby given that the Council of the City of Ellisville will hold a public hearing at the Ellisville City Hall, #1 Weis Avenue, on Wednesday, July 21, 2010, at 7:00 P.M. on the Petition of Clear Wireless for a conditional use permit to allow installation of new telecommunication antennas and associated equipment on an existing tower located at 437 Old State Road within the M-1 Light Industrial Zoning District.

Rossman School Director Pat Shipley said in order to reconfigure the rear-entry drive and entrance, school officials plan to move the road 35 feet. “We are putting in shrubs and trees to create a park atmosphere,� Shipley said.

Shipley said that at any given time, 28 children would be using the playground in front of the school.

Creve Coeur Councilmember Robert Haddenhorst (ward 3) said he attended a meeting that the school conducted with residents from a nearby subdivision, Conway Glens. Haddenhorst said residents expressed concern over any future development in the area.

Creve Coeur Planning Director and Director of Community Development Paul Langdon said he had heard similar concerns and assured the community that no further site improvements or building will take place.

The city was expected to vote on the matter at its next meeting on June 28.

The four loans totaled approximately $2 million. Two of the loans were issued for $750,000 each for MRI machines, which were listed as collateral on the loan papers, but the loan proceeds were used for other purposes.

The crimes took place between July 2006 and July 2008.

When Hunt is sentenced on September 3, he will face up to five years in prison and/or fines up to $250,000.

WILDWOOD Tunnel vision After months of Wildwood staffers working with state officials to coordinate a potential pedestrian tunnel to be built at the same time that the bridge at State Hwy. 109 and Woods Avenue is replaced this summer, approvals about various rights-ofways between the entities were announced at the June 14 city council meeting.

Ryan Thomas, Wildwood director of public works, also asked councilmembers to approve a contract with BeCo Concrete Products, Inc., not to exceed $60,000, for precast tunnel sections for the project.

Thomas said the Great Rivers Greenway District will share 50 percent of the cost for the project, due to its contribution to further connecting the trails system for the metropolitan St. Louis region.

State-of-the art station A formal dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony on June 10 marked the opening of the new St. Louis County Police West County Precinct at 232 Vance Road.

The new station is equipped with state-of-the-art computer capabilities and technologies for the 83 officers, detectives and support personnel assigned to the precinct. No tax increase was necessary to fund the construction of the facility, which was paid for by assets seized from incarcerated drug dealers.

“The preparation for the opening and continued operation of this new precinct was tremendous,” West County Precinct Commander Capt. Steven Stack said. “The support from every division in the police department, county government and the community has been inspiring, and I look forward to serving this community with everything the County Police has to offer.”

St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley (pictured cutting the ribbon) and many local dignitaries and law enforcement officials were on hand for the event.

traffic, beginning July 6. MoDOT officials indicated that the bridge is expected to be completed and reopened by Aug. 17. Signs for detours will be posted.

Paranormal groups want to visit Zombie after-hours New policies to govern after-hours access to city-owned or -leased properties are being evaluated by Wildwood city representatives.

With the opening of Rock Hollow Trail and the interest in a portion traditionally called Rock Hollow Valley, or Zombie Road, city staffers said a number of groups interested in further paranormal research recently inquired about permission to go there at night.

Prior to Wildwood’s incorporation as a city, St. Louis County officials developed a policy for managing after-hours access at Rock Hollow Valley. Wildwood officials reviewed and compared that policy to currently desired safety standards.

Councilmembers who serve on the city’s Planning/Economic Development/Parks Committee during their May meetings worked on a new proposed policy. They prepared a new policy to present to the rest of the councilmembers at the June 14 city council meeting, but due to time constraints, the matter was tabled until the next meeting.

WEST COUNTY Manchester Road Community Survey now online The cities of Ballwin, Ellisville, Man-

chester, Wildwood and Winchester, the West County Chamber of Commerce, East-West Gateway Council of Governments and the Design Workshop consultant team invite West County residents to provide input regarding improvements to the Manchester Road Corridor. The public is invited to participate in the Manchester Road Community Survey, an online polling exercise, between now and the close of business on Tues., Aug. 31, at ewgateway. org/Manchester.

Also on the Web site, the public can view all of the exhibits, maps and graphics pertaining to the project.

Sessions held on May 3, 4 and 5 gave the public an opportunity to view and provide comments on the final recommendations for aesthetics, land use, transportation, economic development and signage improvements for the Manchester Road Corridor. Participants at each session visited information stations, viewed presentation boards and met with members of the consultant team, who provided updates on the project. Attendees were given the opportunity also to participate in a polling exercise via a keypad polling system that allowed responses to be tabulated instantly during the meeting for real-time feedback.

The Manchester Road Community Survey enables those who were unable to attend one of the sessions another chance to provide input. The public’s participation in the process will provide the project team guidance as they prepare to make further changes to the Master Plan, which will illustrate in greater detail how Manchester Road in West County will evolve over the next few decades.

Chesterfield to get library devoted to genealogy Sachs donates 5 acres to get project started

By BRIAN MCDOWELL There currently are only five libraries in the country devoted entirely to genealogy, but the St. Louis County Library Foundation is eager to add a sixth. Foundation officials said that people in West County especially soon will have an easier time searching for their family roots, as there are plans for a Family Heritage Center to be built in Chesterfield.

The Center will be located near the intersection of Wild Horse Creek and Baxter Roads, directly across from the Ascension Catholic Church. The 60,000-square-foot building is expected to open in 2012.

Local real estate developer Sachs Properties has donated 5 acres for the project.

“The library originally came to us interested in buying land, and Louis Sachs thought this would just be a wonderful addition to the community,” Sachs Properties President Kathy Higgins said. “He has a historic collection of items from famous Chesterfield landowners at his home, and the library already has an amazing genealogy collection. We feel that retaining this kind of local history is important, so we wanted to be involved.”

The Family Heritage Center will house the St. Louis County Library’s existing

The new space in Chesterfield is expected to correct those inadequacies and give people a comfortable place to learn about the history of their families.

However, not everyone is thrilled about the move. Carole Goggin, who is hired by people to do family research and presents lectures to all types of groups on the importance of genealogy through her business, “History Speaks,” expressed concern that Chesterfield is not centrally located.

“Many people that want access to these materials won’t be able to get all the way out to Chesterfield,” Goggin said.

Budget estimates for the new facility will not be out for a couple of weeks, but County Library Communications Manager Jennifer McBride said that all funds for the new facility will be privately donated.

“We are putting all of the paperwork together now,” McBride said, “and we will be starting a direct appeal for funds this fall.”

The collection of genealogy materials has outgrown its allotted space at St. Louis County Library.

Chesterfield city officials are excited that the Family Heritage Center will be coming genealogy collection, which includes Louis County Library has a vast collection to Chesterfield. numerous historical records that can be of local historical documents, people can “We are fortunate that, due to Sachs’ accessed through books, microfilm and on use its genealogical resources to find about generosity, this will be available in our computers.

Hidden Valley goes tubular

By JULIE BROWN PATTON It is official: Snow tubing will be offered this winter at Hidden Valley’s ski operation in Wildwood, per expansion plans approved at the June 14 city council meeting.

“We couldn’t be more delighted to bring a new recreational sport to the metro area,” said Bill Brandes, Peak Resorts, Inc., general manager for the local resort.

Peak Resorts currently runs 11 facilities in six states, including two in Missouri.

Brandes said the second resort in Missouri is above Kansas City.

“Hidden Valley here in Wildwood was the first operation opened for the company, but the last among our resorts to get snow tubing,” said Brandes, a former Creve Coeur firefighter paramedic, retired fire chief, and ski patroller.

“If you can crawl into a huge tube and hang on, you can go tubing. It’s so much fun for people of all ages,” he said.

The 42-inch inner tubes are lined on the bottom with hard plastic. Tubing runs are expected to be set up in lanes approximately 800 feet in length. Brandes said the

lanes become like ice ramps, and tubers “can pick up pretty good speeds.”

Brandes said that although they had been through a long planning and approval process for the potential tubing expansion, they had received a lot of support from neighbors, fans and Wildwood city officials.

One proponent who attended the June 14 meeting was David Coulter, a Wildwood resident and race director of an independent, not-for-profit ski team that practices at Hidden Valley.

“Since being involved with Hidden Valley from the season of 1991-1992, we’ve had 900 athletes and seven Junior Olympic skiers on the various teams who have benefitted from it,” Coulter said. “It would be so unfortunate for the region if Hidden Valley wasn’t able to expand. It’s such an asset.”

Ernest Wolf spoke also in favor of the expansion.

“It’s not just Wildwood that benefits,” Wolf said. “It’s also mentally and physically challenged people who participate in our programs.”

West County resident Willie Duster, an advocate of expanding Hidden Valley to include snow tubing, on June 14 told the Wildwood City Council that the resort is the one place where he can stand up.

Wolf is a ski instructor who on Monday nights assists those in wheelchairs with skiing in the “sit down program” at Hidden Valley. He assists also during Thursday evening sessions devoted to autistic, sight- or hearing-impaired people who want to ski.

“The smiles we get are incomparable,”

Wolf said. “Once they know they can ski, it encourages them to tackle other challenges in their lives. Hidden Valley is wonderful, and we’re lucky to have it right here in our backyards.”

Wildwood weighs rural Internet access options

By JULIE BROWN PATTON For the past three years, Wildwood officials, volunteer committee members and city council liaisons worked diligently to find a solution to provide high-speed Internet access to those in more rural portions of the city.

Rural Internet Access Committee members recently told city councilmembers they had reached a milestone: The city itself must undertake the responsibility of implementing high-speed Internet access rather than relying on a privately managed company to do so.

“The city’s direct role would potentially take on one of two forms, either with the city owning all the equipment and contracting with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to manage and maintain the system, or a private entity owning the system, with the city contracting for the service and underwriting costs related to its development and operation,” Joe Vujnich, Wildwood’s director of planning and parks, said.

Vujnich said both of those options place the city in a lead role in providing Internet service, “where both traditional and wireless providers have been slow or unwilling to expand into the rural areas of the city.”

Technical solutions were identified as fiber optic to homes, or wireless access via WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), or Wi-Fi systems.

Vujnich said fiber optic installations would require more infrastructure and result in greater costs but offer a better long-term solution.

The pilot Internet project deployed in Wildwood’s Babler Forest Subdivision this past year used Wi-Fi technology. Vujnich said while it costs less to install, its speed is not as fast as fiber, and the companies offering the technology lack long-term track records for longevity and meeting customer commitments.

Rob Golterman, Wildwood city attorney, issued a legal analysis regarding the con-

cept of the city serving as a public utility to provide high-speed Internet access.

“Within limits, Wildwood’s use of public monies to provide high-speed access to currently unserved areas would not violate the Missouri Constitution or Missouri law,” Golterman said.

Golterman said that in his view, spending monies on a pilot program, funding proposals, and designs or engineering plans would be appropriate for city representatives to determine what options are available.

One of Golterman’s recommendations was for the city to explore business relationships with third parties, through which the city would have a defined role in delivering the service but not be the party ultimately responsible for the system’s operation.

Golterman said Missouri statutes do not expressly indicate whether Wildwood would be required to obtain a certificate of service authority.

Vujnich said lack of Internet access is negatively affecting purchase decisions, business, schoolwork, entertainment and quality of life in Wildwood. He asked councilmembers to support committee members by pursuing proposals.

“This is not a commitment to fund any service, just to solicit proposals for review by the council for future funding in 2011 and beyond,” Vujnich said.

“The citizens’ work on this initiative has been incredible,” David Sewell, city councilmember (ward 6) said.

Sewell asked if a “cost recapture stream” was possible from households that would receive the Internet access in the future.

Vujnich said that was the expectation.

Councilmember Ed Marshall (ward 2) asked about overall cost projections between the two technical solutions.

Vujnich said Pulse Broadband estimated fiber optic to be $4 to $5 million. High Beam estimated the wireless solutions to be approximately $2 million.

established to minimize storm water runoff, light spillage and overall noise at the tubing expansion area, which is located at the southern and southwestern portion of the resort. He said the facility currently has 360 parking spaces and that the phased-in new parking lot eventually will allow for 1,300 parking spots.

Brandes said they hope to begin constructing the tubing area in July.

“We believe this new tubing program is a perfect example of a great community effort, with everyone pulling together,” Brandes said.

Brandes said that through the years, one of the joys of Hidden Valley has been the Gateway Disabled Ski program, which has had eight wounded warriors participate.

“We’ve also had physicians who are overcoming the constraints of muscular dystrophy, and kids with special needs,” Brandes said. “We have a lot to be thankful for, and if we can help more people through the tubing, there will be a lot more positives.”

Ellisville approves Fountain Plaza community improvement district

By TED DIXON JR. The Ellisville City Council on June 16 approved a community improvement district requested by the developer of Fountain Plaza.

A community improvement district, or CID, is a geographically defined district in which commercial property owners vote to impose a sales tax. In this case, the district will impose a sales tax of 1 percent

on all retail sales in the proposed district.

The money generated would give equity to the shopping center. It would fund $1.3 million in traffic improvements at the southern entrance to the district and at the intersection of Clarkson Road and Clayton Road. The CID will be for a maximum of 20 years.

The developer, Centrum, Inc., approached the city to request the formation of what now has been established as the Fountain Plaza Community District. Sol Barket, the developer, told the council earlier that the

project was “majorly underwater” and his firm needed the assistance. The center took a big blow last year when Straub’s closed its doors.

James Mello, an attorney representing the developer, said that CIDs have been used in the past in areas that are not blighted. He cited as examples the Chesterfield Valley shopping development and West County Center in Des Peres.

One resident who opposed the CID claimed those type of districts were specifically created by the state for the renovation

of blighted areas, and the center is not in a blighted area.

“We need to look at what this legislation allows us to do,” Mello said. “It’s for property owners to put a tax on themselves for the benefit of the project. No one is being required to shop at the property.”

Mello said that customers shopping at Fountain Plaza will be the ones paying the sales tax.

Ellisville Councilmembers Clark Compton (District 1) and Michelle Murray (District 3) voted against the CID.

Town & Country ‘For sale’ homes burglarized

By LISA WATSON Town & Country Police are asking residents to watch for suspicious activity after three burglaries occurred in the city.

The first burglary occurred on May 20 in the 13700 block of Clayton Road, police said. A purse containing cash and credit cards was reported stolen from a vehicle parked in an unlocked garage.

Police said two white males after using the stolen credit cards were caught on a security camera at the Shop ‘n Save in Shrewsbury.

The following day, a black male attempted to use one of the cards and was caught also on camera.

A home adjacent to the home where the first burglary occurred was broken into between June 1 and June 6. The home is for sale and has been vacant for about a year, police said. Reported missing were a chandelier, washing machine, electronics, brass bathroom fixtures and other items.

The third incident, reported on June 9, occurred on Tidewater Place, across Clayton Road from the site first two burglaries.

The house was for sale also, police said.

A window was broken, but nothing was reported missing, police said.

Police believe the incidents are related, but at press time had not taken any suspects into custody. Anyone with information on the suspects is asked to call the Town & Country Police Department at (314) 432-4697.

By JULIE BROWN PATTON When a major emergency hits a local subdivision, thoroughfare or larger West County neighborhood, one can only hope that CERT-trained residential volunteers are nearby to step in and guide everyone else.

Standing for “Community Emergency Response Team,” the CERT concept was developed and implemented by the Los Angeles City Fire Department in 1985, first as a proactive way to brace for earthquakes. The premise is that first responders who provide fire and medical services will not be able to meet the demand for those services. For example, the number of victims, communication failures, and road blockages will prevent people from accessing emergency services they expect at a moment’s notice by dialing 9-1-1.

For those times when people will have to rely just on each other for immediate lifesaving and life-sustaining needs, a growing number of West County residents have put themselves through rigorous training, all in the name of someday helping family, friends and even strangers.

“Everyone has heard that they should be prepared to take care of themselves for 72 hours, but if we’re talking a huge disaster, a couple of days isn’t much,” said Sgt. Chuck Hunn, organizer of the CERT program for the city of Manchester. “It didn’t work with (Hurricane) Katrina, and that’s just not enough. Our CERT training is all about surviving on your own for at least seven days.”

Hunn said Manchester started CERT training during the late 1990s. Each class averages 25-30 participants. He said they now have an active volunteer network of

125 people who assist with all sorts of situations.

CERT training covers first aid, search and rescue techniques, and the psychology of disasters.

“Terrorism in the United States changed the overall equation,” Hunn said. “It’s not ‘goo-goo-ga-ga’ basics anymore. We deal with the trauma of losing a child, for instance.”

Hunn said the nine-lesson course teaches participants to use items for bridging materials and to apply leveraging methodology to free people from being trapped.

“We practice on bringing dummies and real people out of 2-story fire towers,” Hunn said. “And all graduates are provided with a backpack of emergency supplies, such as a flashlight, solar blankets, helmet, vest, gloves, mask and first-aid supplies.”

Hunn said he deliberately focuses on teaching people how to deal with utilities in the event of a disaster, especially electricity, water and generators.

One Ballwin resident who is trying to spread the application of CERT’s benefits is Jason Oglesby. The former Navy and National Guard professional said he wanted to become EMT-certified after he received basic medical training while living in Virginia Beach, Va. He completed CERT training there in 2004 and ever since, he has been hooked on broadening the reach of CERT volunteers.

After moving his family to Ballwin, Oglesby contacted the Metro West Fire Department to begin working with them.

He recently joined the Ballwin Days com-

A recent CERT graduating class from Eureka.

“I’ve been going over operational plans for St. Louis County,” he said. “I think it’s vital to apply what we’ve learned.”

“I originally got interested in emergency training as it relates to hurricane preparation when we lived in the South, but now I believe in being prepared for whatever happens,” Oglesby said.

A recent CERT graduate from Eureka, Penny Denning, said she trained just to “get involved within the community.”

“I’ve wanted to (do the training) ever since returning from spring break two years ago and seeing the scores of people filling sandbags,” Denning said. “I wondered just how they knew help was needed and how they were contacted. Now I will always be one of those people called upon to help.”

Denning said she read about CERT many times in the Eureka city newsletter, but until this past winter, the eight-week long commitment never worked out.

“I was surprised at the volume of material we covered, and the faith our instructors had in us to handle emergency situations,” Denning said.

Denning said organizers stressed over and over again that there is a place for everyone in the CERT program.

“Their most active member is in her 80s,”

is how to triage, how to organize people to work together, and help your small section of the world to survive until help arrives, which in a huge disaster, could be days.”

Like Oglesby, Denning said she already used her CERT training on an individual basis to treat someone for symptoms of shock.

“I would recommend CERT to everyone,” Denning said. “I know of one other person in my neighborhood that has had training.

Imagine the comfort of having several in your neighborhood trained to handle a disaster situation. The police and fire department would be overwhelmed should a tornado or earthquake hit our area. People are going to have to help themselves, their families, and their neighbors.”

Anyone interested in registering for CERT training can contact their city hall staffs. Training is free.

Hunn said they currently are recruiting new trainees for Manchester’s program, which is slated to start in September.

“Age is valuable in rescue work, due to years of common sense and wisdom people can draw on,” Hunn said. “God gave us all something we can do when it comes to helping others. CERT is a great way to identify how you fit in.”

Sixteen members of the St. Louis Trails Club could barely wait to explore the new, multi-use Rock Hollow Trail in Wildwood.

New Wildwood trail draws hikers

By JULIE BROWN PATTON Wildwood’s newest addition to its multi-use trail system, Rock Hollow Trail, on May 30 was christened by 16 members of the St. Louis Trails Club, a regional group of people who love to hike, bike, paddle and camp outdoors.

Several of the club’s members said they enjoyed the waterfalls still present from that week’s rains and reported the newly opened trail was busy with bikers, walkers and joggers.

“As always, the city of Wildwood does things right,” said Jo Beck, a Wildwood resident and member of the club. “What a beautiful trail – wide enough to accommodate two passing lanes of traffic. And there was a lot of traffic.”

Beck said that she likes the fact that the

trail was constructed in such a way that it meanders by the spring, the waterfall and the stream.

She said that although there are some benches along the new trail, she believed the area holds some great Eagle Scout project possibilities.

“It would be nice to have a kiosk, or some type of informational sign, telling about the area,” Beck said.

She said the club got a great turnout for the inaugural walk partly because many of the hikers wanted to be able to say they have been on the trail.

Compared to other area trails, Beck said Rock Hollow “outshines most of them because it is asphalt, very wide, and able to accommodate bikers, hikers and walkers alike.”

A good neighbor The Ballwin Metro West Rotary Club recently made gifts totaling $1,850 to benefit children and adults with developmental disabilities.

The money is part of a $2,000 challenge gift offer that the Rotary Club made when they were asked to donate to Caring Solutions, a nonprofit agency, for a Community Access and Activities Fund to enable individuals in the agency’s care to be more involved in their communities.

“We greatly appreciate the Ballwin Metro West Rotary Club for matching an $850 gift from the Knights of Columbus of St. James the Greater parish in St. Louis as well as $1,000 from the employees of Busch Stadium and the St. Louis Cardinals,” Caring Solutions Executive Director Madeleine Hawn said. “Funds for community activities in physical and leisure activities are very limited for those we serve, but being active participants in the community is so necessary for each of them to grow and learn and use the abilities they have.”

Creve Coeur talks trash

By TED DIXON JR. The city of Creve Coeur on June 14 presented its budget for fiscal year 2011 and is looking at imposing trash service fees.

At a public hearing, Creve Coeur City Administrator Mark Perkins said the city’s sales tax revenue for 2010 decreased by 3 percent. In addition, the city suffered a $250,000 reduction in building permit revenues, he said. Five full-time city positions were eliminated, and employee raises were reduced from 5 percent to 3 percent.

The deficit is scheduled to increase from $184,000 next year to more than $1 million in 2014, Perkins said.

The $1.3 million the city pays annually for trash and recycling services comprises approximately 9 percent of the city’s general fund budget and 33 percent of its nonpersonnel budget.

Many cities have implemented user fees to fund trash and recycling services in suburban areas, and Creve Coeur is considering two options of that scenario: • Option 1: Maintain existing service levels, which include rear-yard trash and curbside recycling, and establish user fees.

No changes in service would occur, and residents would continue to use their trash containers.

A fee of $10 per month would cover 50 percent of the total cost of rear-yard trash and curbside recycling, or $650,000 annually. A fee of $20 would cover 100 percent

of the total cost. Allied Waste, the hauler with whom the city currently has a contract, would handle all billing.

• Option 2: Amend the existing rear-yard trash service to curbside and establish user fees. A fee of $7.50 would cover 50 percent of the total cost of curbside trash and curbside recycling; a fee of $15 would cover 100 percent of the cost. Residents would have the option of obtaining rear-yard trash service for a monthly fee of $30. The existing contract requires Allied Waste to continue to provide rear-yard services for residents with disabilities.

Creve Coeur resident David Caldwell said it is disappointing that the budget has come down to a trash fee.

“Basically, this trash fee is being used to subsidize the capital and enterprise fund,” Caldwell said. “I think that this could be postponed for some time. The economy could turn around. Residents should be given a choice on trash and recycling – maybe pickup once a week, twice a week, or not at all. The council should work on other cost saving ideas.”

Resident Robert Fry said a sales tax increase would be a better method for generating revenue.

Robert Pope said his homeowner tax would increase significantly if the $30 monthly fee is implemented.

The city will vote on the proposed budget at its June 28 meeting.

By BRIAN MCDOWELL Shortly after the Vatican issued a communiqué regarding a forthcoming overhaul to the Legionaries of Christ, old allegations about the religious order’s practices at a West County school resurfaced.

A statement by the Vatican on May 1 severely reprimanded the late Rev. Marcial Maciel Degollado, founder of the Legionaries of Christ, which since 2005 has run Gateway Academy in Chesterfield. Allegedly, Maciel fathered at least one child, and he was accused also of molesting dozens of seminary students. He died in 2008.

According to the Vatican statement, Maciel’s “very grave and objectively immoral actions” prompted “serious consequences in the life and structure of the Legion, such as to require a process of profound re-evaluation.”

On May 28, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that some parents from Gateway were taking to St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson their concerns that the school “coerces their children spiritually and undermines their parental authority.”

Parents quoted in the story did not accuse Gateway’s Legion priests of sexual misconduct but claimed that the school’s priests and other officials aimed to override parental authority over students. One parent claimed that school officials used guilt to coerce students into joining the priesthood.

Most of those allegations are at least a couple of years old, Gateway officials said.

Rev. Peter Hopkins, a chaplain at the school, noted that no specific Gateway staff member was mentioned in the article and that no date was put on the alleged incidents.

Hopkins said that he has not directly heard anything inappropriate said during his time at the school but acknowledged that teaching spiritual values to children is challenging and that it is possible for people to misconstrue what is said.

“For instance, if we tell one of the kids that he should go to one of the two retreats that we have every year, where they will learn about both service and spirituality, is that force, or is that encouragement?” Hopkins said.

Hopkins said that students at the school have monthly, 15-minute meetings with priests who work at the school to discuss the school’s four “pillars,” but those “formation dialogue” meetings now are conducted only with parental consent.

Gateway Principal Denise Cress said that such steps became necessary after several of the parents quoted in the article met with her quite some time ago to express

their concerns.

“Some of the things they were talking about didn’t happen at the school at all, and they (allegedly) happened before I was here,” Cress said. “Many changes have been made, and many of these problems have been addressed since then. … If someone had spilled milk three years ago and it had been cleaned up since, I don’t understand how that’s a story.”

John Gouveia, one of the parents quoted in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch article, told West Newsmagazine that his children have not been in school at Gateway in more than three years.

Gouveia described Gateway as a funnel school for several apostolic schools in the northeast and said that the school took trips to seminaries in New Hampshire and Rhode Island and influenced students to attend those institutions, regardless of whether they desired to enter the priesthood.

At the suggestion of priests at Gateway, Gouveia said, his own son went to the seminary in New Hampshire.

While the St. Louis Post-Dispatch story included comments also from those who praised the school for providing a quality Catholic education, Cress said that parents whose children have been helped by Gateway have come to her office in tears over media reports about the school.

“I genuinely apologize to any parents who are offended by anything that has happened at the school,” Cress said. “I invite all of these parents to stop by my office and discuss their feelings at any time.”

Hopkins, who met Macial several times, said that his fellow Legion members have expressed shock at the allegations about Macial’s behavior. Hopkins said he believes that the misbehavior of one member should not take away from the good work that the Legion does.

The Vatican statement expressed hope that the good work of the Legion can continue.

“The church is going to help us, not intervene in what we’re trying to do,” Hopkins said, Hopkins said that he hopes that the things that have been said publicly about the school do not cause too much division among Catholics.

“We don’t want Catholics to be attacking Catholics, because the way to destroy a noble institution is to create internal conflict,” Hopkins said.

“I have hope that parents who understand and value what we have done here will continue to be here,” Cress said. “We know we have a great school here, and we want everyone else to know that, too.”

Kehrs Mill Elementary receives national honor

By DIANE PLATTNER Kehrs Mill Elementary School in the Rockwood School District recently became one of just a handful of schools to receive a national character award.

The Character Education Partnership (CEP) recently named Kehrs Mill Elementary as a 2010 National School of Character. Kehrs Mill is among an elite group of only 11 schools and two school districts nationwide to receive the honor.

Kehrs Mill Elementary Principal Margaret Lucero said that she is excited that the efforts of staff, students and parents are being recognized.

“This is a very caring community with well-behaved students who meet our KM (Kehrs Mill) expectations,” Lucero said.

Lucero credited the school’s teachers and staff for promoting good character as part of the foundation of a warm, welcoming school environment.

“I also want to send my appreciation to all of our Kehrs Mill students and parents who choose to do the right thing, stand up for others and make our school and community a better place,” Lucero said.

The CEP’s Blue Ribbon Panel of noted professionals in education selected Kehrs

Mill Elementary and the other recipient schools based on the following 11 principles of effective character education: • Promotes core ethical values and supportive performance values as the foundation of good character.

• Defines character comprehensively to include thinking, feeling and behavior.

• Uses a comprehensive, intentional and proactive approach to character development.

• Creates a caring school community.

• Provides students with opportunities for moral action.

• Includes a meaningful and challenging academic curriculum that respects all learners, develops their character and helps them to succeed.

• Strives to foster students’ self-motivation.

• Engages the school staff as a learning and moral community that shares responsibility for character education and attempts to adhere to the same core values that guide the education of students.

• Fosters shared moral leadership and long range support of the character education initiative.

Kehrs Mill Elementary School students worked hard to brighten the gardens surrounding their school.

• Engages families and community members as partners in the character-building effort.

• Evaluates the character of the school, the school staff’s functioning as character educators and the extent to which students manifest good character.

The CEP in 2006 named the Rockwood School District as National School District of Character.

Lucero said that the Kehrs Mill Elemen-

tary students expressed great pride in being recognized for such an exclusive honor.

“I asked the Student Council officers to make the announcement to the entire school, and to quote them, they said, ‘Cool’ when they heard about us being named a National School of Character,” Lucero said.

Based in Washington, D.C., the nonprofit CEP is a national advocate and leader for the character education movement.

Eureka High choirs earn chance to sing at Carnegie Hall

By JULIE BROWN PATTON When some local high schoolers sung their hearts out during a trip to Florida, they earned the chance to sing at New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous Carnegie Hall.

Eureka High School Music Director Donna Baker took several choral groups this spring to participate in the Orlando Heritage Festival. Along with seasoned singing voices, they brought back the gold, literally.

Two of Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choral groups earned gold ratings. She said a gold rating is based on a point system, with 90 to 100 points constituting the gold level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Choirs are adjudicated on various music categories, such as tone, intonation, balance, and blend,â&#x20AC;? Baker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our preparation stemmed out of our training for the state festival in St. Louis. Every year, we attend the Missouri State Festival for choirs and are graded by three judges. All four of our choirs earned superior ratings at the state festival, and we used the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oral and written comments to further polish our music for the competition festival in Orlando.â&#x20AC;?

The Eureka choral groups have earned gold ratings in some or all of the choirs for the past several years at festivals held throughout the U.S. Baker said the two gold-rated groups were Concert Choir, which had 29 students participating, and the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choir, which had 33 students included in the tour.

Out of the 20 to 25 groups invited to perform in the mass choir at Carnegie Hall, Baker said they were thrilled to be two of the groups who got the nod.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performing students also were awarded the Choral Sweepstakes Trophy for the most points earned from a school that competed with more than one choir at the festival.

With the New York performance set to occur sometime during 2011 or 2012,

www.andysseasoning.com Baker said any student would be allowed to go on the choir tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we were to take the trip in 2012, there would be a different mix of students, but they have the same common goal each year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; musical excellence,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Baker said the choir has many wonderful occasions from which to choose, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;the opportunity to work with a worldrenowned choral conductor and sing on the stage of Carnegie Hall would be thrilling.â&#x20AC;?

The opportunities are managed by a national organization based in Salt Lake City, Utah, called Heritage Festivals, which combined the Festival at Carnegie Hall with the Festival of Gold Series, a longstanding and successful Heritage Festivals elite opportunity.

Parkway Centralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diane Robison (center), holds the Parkway School District record for state medals.

Robison clocks first-place finish to end high school career

By WARREN MAYES Parkway Centralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diane Robison ended her high school career the way she wanted â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as a winner.

Robison won the 3200-meter run at the recent Class 4 girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; state track and field championships in Jefferson City. She won with a time of 10 minutes, 48.42 seconds, finishing ahead of Nerinx Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Colleen Quigleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time of 10:53.6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going into state, I set really high expectations for myself,â&#x20AC;? Robison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to win the mile and the 2-mile.

After a disappointing finish in the mile, I wanted to come home with a gold medal in the 2-mile more than anything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I studied the strengths and weaknesses of each of my competitors in both of my races with coach (Ryan) Banta, and we strategized from there.â&#x20AC;?

Robison finished seventh in the 1-mile with a time of 4:59.11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believed that Diane was going to do something special, and she proved my feelings by winning another state championship in the 3200-meter,â&#x20AC;? Banta said.

In her career with the Colts, Robison has been a top-notch competitor. She established herself as a force to be reckoned with by winning the state cross country championship as a sophomore. In her junior year, she was a member of the state champion 4x800 relay team.

She has been close to other championships, finishing second to Parkway Central teammate Emily Sisson in the 2-mile at 10:33 as a junior, and placing third in the mile at 4:56 to Emily Sisson and Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Summit Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Liga Blyholder as a junior.

The soon-to-be Arkansas Razorbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high school career was down to the final event, the 3200-meter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was more than ready for the 2-mile,â&#x20AC;?

Robison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was my last race, and I had a plan. Of course, I was nervous and it was hot out there, but I shook it off because

I was mad about the mile and wanted revenge.â&#x20AC;?

Banta said there were plenty of solid runners in the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The distance field was one of the best, top to bottom, ever put together for a state championship,â&#x20AC;? Banta said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This became even more apparent witnessing what happened the day before in the mile where a state record was set with seven athletes breaking 5 minutes in the mile.â&#x20AC;?

In the 3200, Robison said the first mile was â&#x20AC;&#x153;extremely slow.â&#x20AC;? She clocked a 5:35, which was far slower than she anticipated.

However, she did not get disheartened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One thing I have learned is that you cannot freak out when a race or workout, whatever it may be, changes,â&#x20AC;? Robison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to roll with the punches and adjust to the changes while not feeling discouraged. I got a little caught up in the pack like I did during the mile, but I was more aggressive about getting out of that mess during the 2-mile and felt free the last mile, knowing it was my last of many throughout my high school career. I wanted to give them something exciting to watch.â&#x20AC;?

Banta was confident Robison would prevail and said the race went according to plan, with one exception. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She got boxed in,â&#x20AC;? Banta said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were doing our best Brad Pitt to get out of the box. She quickly made a strong move to get out of the box and from that point on, the race was over.â&#x20AC;?

Robison got her wish and won the race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just overwhelmed with joy. All the work finally paid off for that redeeming moment, and I melted with happiness,â&#x20AC;?

Robison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Running is funny, because one day you can feel in the pits and feel as if no one cares how you perform, and

Association. Future major league players from junior college through Division 1 levels are among those selected to play in the annual contest.

Fans are invited to come out and watch “the best of the best” college baseball players compete.

Senior swimming Wildwood resident Jim Halliburton, Rockwood Swim Club Aquatics Coordinator and Saint Louis University Swimming coach, recently recorded 13 first-place finishes at the St. Louis Senior Olympics at the Halliburton Chesterfield Jewish Community Center.

Halliburton, who first competed in the event in 2009, shattered even his own records in the 50, 100 and 200 freestyle, the 50, 100 and 200 backstroke, the 50 and 100 butterfly, and the 100 and 200 individual medley. He established standards also in the 50, 100 and 200 breaststroke.

All are national records.

“The 500 free was cancelled due to a thunderstorm on Memorial Day,” said Halliburton, “so my 2009 record still stands.

This gives me the Senior Olympic record in all 14 events.”

Halliburton has coached two worldrecord holders and 20 swimmers in the Olympic trials. Two of his swimmers have

competed in the Olympic games. More than 50 swimmers training under him have ranked in the top 16 in the United States in their age group, and eight of them were ranked No. 1.

As a competitor, Halliburton was a member of the U.S. National Team from 1978 to 1982 and was team captain in his final season with the squad. A former American record holder, he was twice ranked No. 1 in the world in the 100-meter butterfly. At Indiana University, Halliburton was a seven-time Big Ten champion and broke Mark Spitz’s Big Ten record in the 100 fly. He was a four-time NCAA AllAmerican.

Whitfield hires coaches Whitfield has announced the hiring of two new varsity coaches.

Maggie Durbin will coach the Warriors’ varsity field hockey team and will teach physical education.

Deidre Cason-Sumrall will coach the girls’ varsity basketball team.

Durbin returns to her hometown of St. Louis after serving since 2008 as the head coach at Holland Hall School in Tulsa, Okla.

Cason-Sumrall for the past two seasons was the varsity girls’ basketball coach at Maplewood-Richmond Heights.

Lafayette Ladies honored Four Lafayette Ladies Lacrosse members were named to the All State team. They include Courtney Baker, Hannah Hayes, Hillary Lawless and Kelsey Witbrodt.

Pictured (from left) are Baker; Hayes; Coach Dee Wilkinson; Witbrodt, a U.S. Lacrosse Academic All-American; and Lawless, a U.S. Lacrosse All-American.

members of the ABC League voted unanimously to become a co-ed, private school league that will be organized under a new name. The name of the new athletic conference will be decided at a later date.

The change will become effective with high school sports played during the 20122013 school year. The two-year period allows the schools to transition their current schedules as well as invite prospective new member schools to apply to join the conference.

The ABC League is not disbanding, said Joe Genoni, league spokesperson and Priory’s athletic director.

All six current member schools– John Burroughs, Lutheran North, Lutheran South, MICDS, Principia and Priory – will remain as members of the new conference.

The current league competes only in boys’ athletics, although five of the six members are co-educational schools and their female teams compete in another conference.

The girls’ teams compete in the Metro Women’s Athletic Association.

“This move presents a great opportunity for our schools to develop a new league that will provide equal opportunities for both girls and boys in athletics,” Genoni said. “We are excited to offer this benefit first and foremost to our student athletes, but also to engage in discussions with other private schools of similar size interested in affiliating with our group.”

MICDS Athletic Director Don Mauer agreed.

“We feel the time is right for expansion, and by going co-ed, we bring our girls’ programs and boys’ programs together under the same banner,” Mauer said.

One potential new member could be Villa Duchesne, which is an all-girls school.

That would balance the current schools and be the counterweight to Priory’s allboys school.

Several schools are interested.

“We’re open to visit with schools. We’re hoping to meet with schools that are interested in September and then have a vote in October,” Genoni said. “We’re revising our league manual to fit what we hope it will be. That’s what we’ll be doing this

summer. We’ll have new guidelines.”

The ABC League moniker will be history.

“We’re changing our name. Our heads of schools will make the decision on any new name,” Genoni said.

High school signings Chaminade junior quarterback Christian Suntrup announced he has committed to Boston College in a recent ceremony held at the school.

“It really just felt right,” Suntrup said. “I went up there for the spring game and it felt right from the start.”

The 6-foot-3, 205-pound junior said he considered Minnesota, Nebraska and Stanford.

Last fall, Suntrup completed 54 percent of his passes for 1,338 yards. He threw for 11 touchdowns with 10 interceptions. As a sophomore, he completed 62.5 percent of his passes for 1,362 yards, with nine touchdowns and seven interceptions. He threw for 512 yards and five touchdowns as a freshman.

One thing that enticed Suntrup was the fact Boston College runs “a pretty similar offense” to Chaminade.

“I think it’s a good fit for me,” Suntrup said.

Suntrup recently was nominated to play in the 2011 U.S. Army All-American Bowl, joining an elite group of student-athletes who will have the chance to play in the game in January 2011 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

Suntrup is the second Red Devils junior to make a commitment. Wide receiver Brandon Hannah earlier announced he would go to Missouri. Outstanding running back Rob Standard has scholarship offers from Nebraska and Iowa State.

In other signings, Marquette senior Dustin Graves signed a letter of intent to play baseball at Fontbonne University in St. Louis. Graves was a two-year varsity starter for Marquette and a Suburban West All-Conference honorable mention his senior year.

Legion baseball preview

By WARREN MAYES American Legion baseball is underway for District 10 teams.

Here is a look at the three West County squads.

Ballwin Post 611 Record in 2009: Ballwin overcame a 1-4 start and finished up 18-17. In the postseason, Post 611 lost 12-4 to Eureka in the District 10 championship game.

Coach: Sean Rogan, who has been the head coach at Ballwin since 2003 and an assistant since 1998. Since 1998, the club has won five district championships and earned one state trip.

Returning number of players: 12.

Players to watch for this summer: P/1B J.T. Miller, a Lafayette senior; 2B Tyler Werre, Lafayette senior; SS Josh James, a Lafayette senior; 3B Brandon Graft, a Lafayette senior; P/OF Matt Meyer, a Marquette senior; P/IF/OF Dustin Graves, a Marquette senior; C Jordan Soaid, a Ladue graduate; C James Kramer, a Marquette senior; DH/1B Justin Baden, a Lafayette senior; OF Mike Cowell, a Lafayette senior; P/C/OF Gavin Thomas, a Principia junior.

What are you looking for from your team this summer? Using its depth to go deep into the postseason.

What goals have you set for the club?

Winning the District 10 championship and beyond.

Who are the favorites in District 10?

Eureka, Ballwin, Manchester and Creve Coeur.

How do you size up the district? Rogan said the district is well balanced and everybody competes hard.

“I’m always excited about Legion baseball,” Rogan said. “We’ve got 10 seniors on this team, so we have a lot of experience. We’re deep in pitching and at every position. I think we have lot of excitement this season. Our JV team won a regional last year and those guys are stepping up for us. I think we stack up well in the district and in the zone. It’s going to be a fun summer.”

Eureka Post 177 Record in 2009: 24-7 and won the District 10 championship before losing in the Zone championship series to Festus. Eureka has

Eureka senior Kory Wisdom

gone 52-15 over the past two seasons.

Coach: Joe Fortner in his sixth year as the head coach and third year as the general manager.

Returning number of starters: Four.

Players to watch for this summer: C/3B Ben Smith, the District 10 Player of the Year last year and a Summit graduate who is a college freshman at St. Louis Community College at Meramec; P Patrick Jacobs, a DeSmet grad who is a freshman at Maryville University; 2B Steven Leuthauser, a Eureka senior; P Brandon Sarkissian, a Summit graduate who is a freshman at Missouri Western.

What are you looking for from your team this summer? Fortner said the club is looking to stay as it has been in recent years as one of the better teams in the district. He wants the club to play good defense and the pitchers to throw strikes. He wants the players to know their roles and execute.

Goals set for the club: Win the state championship.

Who are the favorites in the district?

Eureka, Ballwin, Creve Coeur, and the others could be up there.

How do you size up your district? Fortner said it will be competitive as usual.

“Every year, our objective is to win the state championship,” Fortner said. “We’ve won the district the last two years. I think they want to keep growing it and keep Eureka on top in District 10 and play the way we like to play. We’re not going to hand the district to off to somebody.

They’re going to have to take it from us.

We’re excited to defend the district championship again.”

Small but mighty Chesterfield woman is Tuff-N-Uff champ

By BRIAN MCDOWELL Ashley Cummins claims to be a very calm and easygoing person who never got into fights growing up.

“My father always jokes that I’m a typical, hot-blooded Sicilian,” Cummins said, “but I’m actually very shy.”

However, Cummins is one of the area’s fastest rising amateur stars in mixed martial arts. The 23-year-old Chesterfield native currently has a 5-0 record, and a recent victory in a fight in Las Vegas has made her the first champion in the Tuff–N-Uff 115pound division.

She is surprised by her sudden success.

“When I started training at this, I never thought in a million years that I would be in Las Vegas winning a title belt,” Cummins said.

Cummins always has been interested in sports. The diminutive, 5-foot-5-inch athlete grew up playing soccer and doing tae kwon do. She was a student at Marquette High School when she developed an interest in mixed martial arts and initially was attracted to the sport because it seemed to be the most difficult of the sports.

“I think that the people that do this are

stronger mentally and physically than people in another sport,” Cummins said.

“It’s one-on-one, win or lose, and the pressure is all on the individual. I’ve always loved mental and physical challenges.”

Cummins attended Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Mo., on a soccer scholarship but eventually dropped out.

“I just wasn’t passionate about it,” Cummins said, “and I just can’t do something that I don’t care about.”

She moved back to St. Louis, visited a mixed martial arts (MMA) gym and fell in love with the sport. She began the intense training regimen she continues to this day, working out six days a week at various locales.

“I sleep, I train, I study,” Cummins said.

“That’s my life right now.”

Cummins started fighting three years ago. She said that she was nervous before her first fight.

“My hands were shaking,” Cummins said, “and I was worried, but not scared. I loved it so much. I just wanted to win.”

She did win and has kept on winning.

Cummins’ training consists of two hours of extreme cardio workouts every morn-

ing and hours of martial arts classes every afternoon. She modifies her diet between fights, eating mostly grilled chicken and vegetables, trying not to go too far above her weight class.

“I think I’m crazy sometimes to love this sport,” Cummins said.

Cummins is a very technical fighter, and she attributes her success to her mastery of every aspect of the sport.

“The only way to beat me is to knock me out,” she said.

Her current goal is to go professional and be the best female MMA fighter in the world.

“She has the most important thing that trainers look for that can’t be taught: perseverance and dedication,” said Rodrigo Vaghi, who owns the Fenton gym where Cummins often trains.

Vaghi sometimes is frustrated at the scant attention received by female fighters in the sport, but he is happy that Cummins finally is getting some of the attention she deserves.

Cummins’ parents helped her get a sponsor, Sky Music Lounge in Ballwin, which covers most of her travel costs.

Ashley Cummins

Cummins recently graduated from UMSL and is preparing to join the St. Louis County Police Academy. She worries that the time that police work demands will detract from her rigorous training schedule.

She likes living in Chesterfield and plans on staying in West County for a while.

“I know that, with what I do, I don’t really fit in here,” Cummins said, “but someone like me makes this a more interesting place.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where seeing is believingâ&#x20AC;?

Parker Cordova, of Chesterfield, was among the students from St. John Lutheran School in Ellisville who attended the Cosmosphere Astronaut Training Program in Hutchinson, Kan.

Out of this world: St. John Lutheran students attend astronaut camp

By DIANE PLATTNER Students at St. John Lutheran of Ellisville recently completed the unique Cosmosphere Astronaut Training Program.

St. John seventh-grade students from May 17-21 attended the camp; on the last day, they graduated from Level 1 of the Future Astronaut Training Program (FATP) at the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center in Hutchinson, Kan. Developed by Cosmosphere staff, FATP is a nationally recognized camp that motivates campers to seek careers in science and aerospace-related industries. The fourday, introductory astronaut camp, which is for students entering grades 6-8, emphasizes teamwork, leadership and problem solving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the camp, students work in teams and study principles in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM),â&#x20AC;? Cosmosphere spokesperson Patsy Terrell said.

Terrell said that throughout the week, campers train in space simulators such as the centrifuge, multi-axis trainer and stress simulator. They launch homemade rockets and design and direct a robotic mission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal is to provide an educational opportunity for students, encourage careers in STEM, including aerospace-specific careers, while the students are doing something extraordinary,â&#x20AC;? Terrell said.

The week culminated with a mission in the Cosmosphereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Falcon III, the most realistic shuttle simulator outside of NASA, and the monitoring of another teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission in the mission control center. They also toured the Cosmosphereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worldrenowned Hall of Space Museum, one of

the most significant collections of U.S. and Russian space artifacts in the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unlike other camps, at the Cosmosphere, each student gets to participate in every activity and simulator,â&#x20AC;? Terrell said.

The Cosmosphereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FATP has five levels.

Levels 1 and 2 are held at the Cosmosphere; Level 3 is held at the Cosmosphere for two days and then at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, for two days; Level 4 is held at Kennedy Space Center in Florida; and X-treme is 12 days, split between the Cosmosphere and Beaver Lake in Arkansas, where students earn SCUBA certification.

While FATP is the Cosmosphereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flagship camp program, the Cosmophere offers numerous other educational programs, including specialized field trips, workshops, merit badge programs for Boy and Girl Scouts, and community outreach programs.

Every year, approximately 150,000 people from around the world visit the Cosmosphere, which is Kansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution and recently was voted one of the eight wonders of Kansas in a nationwide poll. Founded in 1962 as the Hutchinson Planetarium, the Cosmosphereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restoration projects have included the Apollo 13 command module Odyssey and Liberty Bell 7 Mercury spacecraft. The Cosmosphere builds exhibits and replica space hardware for other museums and for the Hollywood film industry.

The Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring the past and inspiring the future of space exploration.

The name’s Bond.

YOUNGEST GOVERNOR IN MISSOURI HISTORY!

4-TERM U.S. SENATOR!

INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL HEAVYWEIGHT!

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, HE STILL MEANS ACTION! STORY BY

BRIAN MCDOWELL

NEWSMAGAZINENETWORK.COM

KIT BOND He was the youngest governor in the history of Missouri, but Christopher “Kit” Bond has no intention of being the oldest U.S. senator to represent the state. That is why the 71-year-old says that he is retiring at the end of his current term. Bond said that he never again will run for office, but he does want to use his popularity and political capital to help support worthy political candidates and to support his beloved Republican party.

Bond has perhaps the most colorful resume of any politician in the history of Missouri.

He was born in St. Louis and worked as a law clerk, a judge, and an assistant to thenAttorney General John Danforth. Bond was elected state auditor before he became Missouri’s governor in 1973, at the age of 33. He lost his bid for reelection four years later but made a stunning political comeback and won the office again in 1980.

In an interview with West Newsmagazine, Bond indicated that being governor was his favorite of all the jobs he ever has held, because he controlled his own schedule and had more responsibilities.

“I don’t feel much sympathy for all of these governors today whining and looking for help from the federal government,” Bond said. “Budgeting responsibly is part of their job.”

Bond has been in the Senate since 1986, and he still finds his current job very challenging.

“There is no typical day here,” Bond said.

“I feel like I’m moving 1,000 miles an hour

with my hair on fire. I’m like a bug flying into thousands of windshields.”

Meeting foreign leaders, listening to classified intelligence sessions, attending various committee meetings and voting on legislation are Bond’s main duties in the Senate.

Agricultural biotechnology and his plans to turn Missouri into the “agricultural alley of the 21st century” are among Bond’s favorite, personal causes on which he has worked as a senator. Bond believes that agricultural advances will be as important to this century as the silicon chip was to the last century and will revolutionize human health, the environment and agricultural production around the world.

That is why, on the Senate floor, Bond led the fight to get the National Science Foundation to map the plant genome. As home to the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, Monsanto and the Missouri Botanical Garden, Bond expects that St. Louis will be a center of the growing agricultural industry.

Bond has used his position also to consistently work to strengthen America’s defense. Additionally, he helped to reform the way that highway funding is handled and pushed for smart energy policy.

Bond serves also as vice-chairman of the Committee of Intelligence. In that capacity, he estimated that 60-80 percent of his time these days is spent reading intelligence briefings. That leaves him with little time to actually read bills that often are more than 1,000 pages long that come up

and argue for sensible reforms.

The senator does find comfort in the fact that, according to recent polls, his Senate seat will be going to his friend and fellow Republican, Congressman Roy Blunt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He will be outstanding,â&#x20AC;? Bond said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He will carry on my tradition, so I will be doing anything I can to help him this year. I know he is a very strong candidate that will listen to the people instead of just listening to the President.â&#x20AC;?

When asked what he wanted to be remembered for, Bond replied that he always served Missouri well, and that the best ideas that he presented in the Senate have ultimately come from the people of the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I listen to Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people, and I take them to the Senate floor,â&#x20AC;?

for votes on the Senate floor. For that task, Bond relies on his staff to peruse the bills and present to him their highlights.

Bond admitted that, through this process, he has made a few mistakes during his time in the Senate, including voting for the confirmation of David Souter.

Bond said that his greatest challenge has come in the form of the Obama administration. He praised the President for continuing U.S. military efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan and for helping him pass the Honor Act to improve government services to returning veterans.

However, Bond blasted Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney general, Eric Holder, for the way the Justice Department has interfered with the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intelligence services. He cited also the administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stimulus packages, health care overhaul and the Financial Reform Act as signs of the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current recklessness. Bond indicated that such sweeping legislation will make a serious impact on every segment of the economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to destroy our economy and make us like Europe, and all of this goes on a big credit card that will have to be paid by our grandkids,â&#x20AC;? Bond said.

The proposed cap-and-trade legislation that imposes environmental controls on businesses is currently before the Senate, and according to Bond, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it will economically crush the Midwest.â&#x20AC;?

Bond disagrees with the sentiment that big government will solve all problems.

Instead, he believes that the American spirit is embodied by small businesses and venture capitalists. He finds it frustrating that all he can do about Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s push toward socialism is stand up, talk about it

According to the St. Louis Regional Asthma Consortium, a collaboration of agencies and individuals working to reduce asthma morbidity and improve the quality of life for those with asthma, for parents of a camper with asthma, preparing for camp requires more than simply letting the camp know of the child’s condition. Parents of a child with asthma should make a point of communicating their child’s needs to camp directors, counselors and general camp staff.

Helpful Tips Let the camp know: • What triggers the child’s asthma.

• What medication the child takes.

• The symptoms the child usually exhibits before an attack.

• That you will provide the child’s Asthma Action Plan (AAP), which outlines the steps to take if the child is having any symptoms. (If the child does not have an AAP, his or her health care provider can provide one.)

Ask the camp administrators: • How often does the camp care for children with asthma or allergies?

• Do the counselors understand how asthma affects the children’s health and emotional well-being?

• How close is the nearest hospital?

• Are there phones, or is there cell phone

service, in all areas of the camp?

• Is there a nurse on staff all day, every day?

• Does the entire camp staff have the knowledge of how to use an EpiPen or inhalers?

Be sure to pack: • Oral medicines.

• Inhaler(s), all necessary controller medication and rescue albuterol.

• Asthma Action Plan.

• Child’s emergency contact information, including pediatrician and asthma specialist.

• EpiPen, if essential (more than one in case one gets misplaced) • Medic alert bracelet (if necessary)

“It’s critical for youth and adolescents to be comfortable with talking about their asthma status with the appropriate camp authorities and voicing any and all symptoms they are experiencing during their camp experience,” Dr. William Kincaid, chairman of the St. Louis Regional Asthma Consortium, said. “Campers tend to have a lot of fun with their packing checklists, so implementing an asthma checklist will help (get) campers thinking about medications, triggers, and other important asthma tips before venturing off to camp.”

Parents who follow these tips from the St. Louis Regional Asthma Consortium can breathe a little easier when sending a child who has asthma to summer camp:

St. John’s Mercy fights infection with unique decontamination technology

By JULIE BROWN PATTON Threats of infections often scare hospital patients as much as the reasons for which they are hospitalized. St. John’s Mercy Medical Center in Creve Coeur recently began taking a proactive approach to eliminating as many threats of infection as possible by routinely using a new, biodecontamination technology.

To protect patients from dangerous, hospital-acquired infections, the hospital applies a hydrogen peroxide vapor (HPV) decontamination technology in patient rooms. The medical center was the third hospital in the U.S. with an entrenched team of technicians for implementing the technology and the first hospital in the nation to systematically apply it to patient rooms throughout its facility.

The technology comes from Bioquell, a Pennsylvania-based company. Cleanliness is achieved by depositing an even layer of microscopic HPV over all targeted surfaces.

Officials at St. John’s said that HPV has proven biological effectiveness against a variety of health care-associated pathogens that have the potential of wide-spread environmental contamination, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Clostridium difficile (C. diff), vancomcin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and many multi-drug resistant organisms, such as Acinetobacter baumannii complex.

Recent studies performed at St. John’s Mercy and presented in March 2010 at the Fifth Decennial International Conference on Healthcare-Associated Infections in Atlanta supported the effectiveness of HPV disinfection in rendering rooms free of Acinetobacter baumanni complex and MRSA. “Since persistent environmental contamination with these bacteria may be a potential source of infection to newly admitted patients, we asked ourselves what else we can do to disinfect hospital rooms better, and help our patients navigate safely through our system of care without unnecessarily exposing them to a new risk of infection,” said Dr. Farrin Manian, lead investigator of the studies and chief of infectious diseases at St. John’s Mercy.

“We didn’t want to wait for an outbreak before acting on this problem.”

James Salkeld, head of Bioquell’s health care division, said, “Of the increasing number of hospitals now using Bioquell’s

St. John’s Mercy Medical Center in Creve Coeur is the first hospital the U.S. to routinely and systematically use a biodecontamination technology in patient rooms to decrease the risk of the most commonly spread infections.

technology, none has facilitated the implementation of the technology with the same speed and efficiency as St John’s Mercy.”

Manian said he thinks St. John’s should raise the industry’s bar of hospital room cleaning and disinfection from what may look and smell clean to “what is truly clean and disinfected.”

“I call the hospital room the neglected ‘H.A.N.D.,’ or Hospital Area in Need of Disinfection, which needs due attention to its proper hygiene before a new patient moves in,” Manian said. “Washing or disinfecting hands before and after touching patients is important, but this may not be enough.”

Since December 2008 at St. John’s, all newly vacated hospital rooms previously housing patients with one or more of the infectious pathogens were considered for additional disinfection by use of HPV. The procedure entails instilling HPV into tightly sealed, vacated rooms with constant monitoring. Hospital staffers said the entire process usually takes three hours.

Mural, mural on the wall

Public invited to paint Chesterfield levee wall

By LISA WATSON A team of students will plan a mural this summer to be painted on the newly built levee wall at Baxter Road and Edison Road in Chesterfield.

The project is being spearheaded by Chesterfield Arts, and students entering eighth through 12th grades will work with professional artist Stuart Morse, of Morse Fine Art Studios, to develop the mural. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We saw the wall as a great outdoor canvas,â&#x20AC;? said Stacey Morse, executive director of Chesterfield Arts.

The group has done other similar projects, including a mural created through a partnership with Boeing along the Mississippi River, Morse said.

Students from almost 30 schools were invited to participate, including those in the Parkway School District, Rockwood School District, private and parochial schools. Morse said 45 students will play a part in the project. While artistic skills certainly are welcome, they by no means are necessary, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody can have a hand in it, whether you think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an artist or not,â&#x20AC;? Morse said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love to work with people who think they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t draw a straight line.â&#x20AC;?

The students will work on all aspects of the project, including coming up with the overall concept and designing the mural.

They will be taught the elements of art and design, and will develop leadership skills as they go through the process.

The project will kick off with a meeting on July 1, at which time the student participants will be introduced to city officials to

learn the purpose of the levee wall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want the kids to understand why the wall is there and what purpose it serves,â&#x20AC;?

Morse said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then we can enhance it visually and bring attention to the new recreation trail.â&#x20AC;?

The students will meet throughout July and August to plan the mural, and will start laying out plans on the wall in September, Morse said.

The wall is adjacent to land the city plans to use for its Chesterfield Valley Levee Trail, said Mike Geisel, director of public works for the city of Chesterfield. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having the mural there is certainly an amenity for trail users,â&#x20AC;?

Geisel said.

So far, about 6.5 miles of the trail are complete, with another 2.5 miles STACEY MORSE under construction this summer.

The section that will run past the mural will not be completed until sometime in 2011 or 2012, Geisel said.

The levee wall is about 600 feet long, Morse said.

The actual painting will be a huge, oneday project that is open to the entire community.

On Sat., Oct. 9, people of all ages and skill levels will be invited to come work on the project, Morse said.

The students will have laid out the wall in advance by drawing lines and numbering the different segments. Each number will correspond to a specific color. Morse said she hopes for at least 500 people to show up that day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a huge paint-by-number project,â&#x20AC;? Morse said.

Leaving a gentle and sustainable environmental footprint was the goal of leaders who conceived St. Louis Community College-Wildwood. Now they have extended the school’s thoughtful educational environment to include an outdoor art exhibit.

On June 10, the last of five sculptures were erected at the campus. All pieces were lent to the college for a year by professional artists. Materials used for the art range from brass and ceramic to stone and steel. Each piece has a story to tell.

The 2010-2011 Wildwood Sculpture Park Exhibit was made possible by a special project grant from the St. Louis Community College Foundation. Pam McIntyre, STLCC-Wildwood president, said the goal of the project is to enhance the learning environment at Wildwood for students, faculty and the community by promoting discussions of new ideas about visual arts and introducing concepts of public art, as well as the interaction of the environment and the aesthetics to the campus.

“Unlike permanent sculptures, we are creating space that acts as a gallery for outdoor works of art where the exhibit will change from year to year,” Patrick Vaughn, STLCC-Wildwood vice president of academic affairs, said. “This will provide each student, faculty, staff, and community member with a variety of artwork for appreciation, class examples, and subjects for evaluation while also serving as a focal point for visitors to the community.”

Vaughn said the Wildwood campus seeks to serve as a center for the arts and education in West St. Louis County.

He said invitations were sent to regional artists this spring, and proposals began arriving in late April.

“Mark Weber, our chair of visual and performing arts, reviewed each piece, after which he brought the proposals to a committee consisting of the campus manager of physical facilities, John Tetstill; our college president, Pam McIntyre; our STLCC director of physical facilities, Lori Thompson; and myself,” Vaughn said. “We reviewed the works based on practical criteria, such as the ability to install the artwork (weight and height), as well as key considerations of appropriateness of the artwork to the campus environment, and if the artwork would enhance the educational environment of the campus.”

Vaughn said the outdoor exhibit will be the focal point of an annual reception involving the community and artists, with

Five new sculptures recently were erected at St. Louis Community College-Wildwood, launching an outdoor exhibit space that will change annually. Artist Eric Lindsey (pictured) created one of them.

the first one tentatively scheduled for Sept.

9.

The latest piece in the collection was created by Chicago-area sculptor and stonemason Eric Lindsey. He graduated from Belleville Area College (now known as Southwestern Illinois College) with an associate art degree and then attended the Kansas City Art Institute for a year.

He earned a bachelor’s degree of fine art from Southern Illinois University and then served as an artist in residence at Chatillondu-val-sur-Seine in France.

Lindsey said a bascule bridge in Oakland, Ill., inspired his vision of a creating a moving bridge out of granite. The sculpture weighs 3,000 pounds, and he calls it “Chicago River Landscape.”

“When I’m involved with making sculpture, I want my work to take excursions from the real world while holding on to something familiar,” Lindsey said, adding that he wanted to develop something fluid from the granite, which started as one large chunk of stone that he broke into smaller pieces.

One STLCC-Wildwood art student assisted with placements of the sculptures.

Dmitri Rainey, of Wildwood, said it was “more than nice and actually pretty special” to see the art being brought in by the artists.

“I especially like that all the sculptures were made out of different materials,” Rainey said. “They’re very cool.”

LEGION BASEBALL, from page 30

Manchester Post 208 2009 Record: 16-13. Lost in the second round of districts.

Coach: Patrick Berry is beginning his third season at Manchester Post 208 with a combined record of 48-15.

Returning number of starters: Four: OF Derek Thompson, a Parkway South senior; C Matt Boeding, a Parkway South senior; OF Spencer Bogad, a Parkway South senior; P Shane Brewer, a Parkway South junior.

Players to watch this summer: SS Chris Costello, a Parkway South senior; OF John

ROBISON, from page 27 Calloway, a Parkway South junior.

Newcomers expected to help: C Eric Kroup, a Parkway South sophomore; P/2B Jackson Crosley, Parkway South.

What are you looking for from your team this summer? Berry said the squad is going to have to focus on the little things, making sure they do not give the other team more than three outs an inning as well as focus on having good at bats with runners on base to drive in as many runs as possible.

What goals have you set for the club?

Looking to win District 10, which Berry said is the toughest district in Missouri.

Who are the favorites in the district?

Eureka, Ballwin, Creve Coeur.

How do you size up your district? There are excellent teams, Berry said. Ballwin and Eureka are extremely deep. Every team is capable of winning each game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am excited about our team this summer,â&#x20AC;? Berry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an extremely deep pitching staff, and we can play defense as well as anyone in the area.

Our focus will be working to score runs, and making sure that every at bat we take is productive. We are younger this year, so our ability to develop as the season progresses will determine our level of success this post season.â&#x20AC;?

Robison (in red).

the next you can feel as if you were born to run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talked with my coach afterwards and realized that it was so much more satisfying crossing the line at the 2-mile because I gained more knowledge and insight into the sport.â&#x20AC;?

Banta shared Robisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to admit that I was screaming like a crazy person, had tears of joy, and was hugging everyone I could find,â&#x20AC;?

Banta said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knowing Diane and spending so much time over the years training, it is one of the sweetest state championships we have had in our program. Being a distance runner is so difficult. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult because it takes a dedication, willingness to suffer pain, and focus, making it the hardest state championship for an athlete to win with any regularity.â&#x20AC;?

Robison will remember her prep career fondly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Senior year was fun, and I liked passing my enthusiasm for running on to new teammates,â&#x20AC;? Robison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will never forget the kindness and inspiration each coach shared with me and I will take a portion of each of their advice with me to college. â&#x20AC;Ś I will even miss coach Bantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog, Onyx, who cheered me on through workouts and races on a few occasions. It is a little crazy that my high school career is over and in a way it has flown by. I will really miss my teammates, competition, and coaches, but I am ready to face a new chapter of life.â&#x20AC;?

It was a joy to be able to coach her, Banta said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diane is the Parkway School District record holder for state medals,â&#x20AC;? Banta said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That makes her in one of the most decorated athletes in the history of our sport. She has been All-American in any way runner can be measured, be it AAU, USATF, NSSF, and Footlocker. She has been to them all and came away with AllAmerican honors. I know of just a handful of athletes in our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history that have achieved what Diane has in her four years at Parkway Central.â&#x20AC;?
