THOMAS SOWELL

Random Thoughts Random thoughts on the passing scene: Edmund Burke said, “There is no safety for honest men, but by believing all possible evil of evil men.” Evil men do not always snarl. Some smile charmingly. Those are the most dangerous. If you don’t think mainstream media slant the news, keep track of how often they tell you that the Arctic ice pack is shrinking and how seldom they tell you that the Antarctic ice pack is expanding. The latter news would not fit the “global warming” scenario that so many in the media are promoting. Someone has referred to Vice President Biden as President Obama’s “impeachment insurance.” Even critics who are totally opposed to Barack Obama’s policies do not want anything to cut short his presidency, with Joe Biden as his successor. People who refuse to accept unpleasant truths have no right to complain about politicians who lie to them. What other kind of candidates would such people elect? Given the shortage of articulate Republican leaders, it will be a real loss – to the country, not just to the Republicans – if Senator Marco Rubio discredits himself, early in his career, by supporting “comprehensive” immigration reform that amounts to just another amnesty, with false promises to secure the border. Ever since I learned, as a teenager, that the “Saturday Evening Post” magazine was actually published on Wednesday mornings, I have been very skeptical about words. “Gun control” laws do not control guns, “rent control” laws do not control rent and government “stimulus” spending does not stimulate the economy. It is hard to think of two people with more different personalities than New York’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg and President Barack Obama. But they are soul mates when it comes to thinking that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizens’ hands and impose the government’s decisions on them. Maybe the reason for the New York Yankees’ low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swinging for the fences, even when a single would score the winning run. President Obama’s denial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include

Innocent-Bystander-in-Chief. It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a man’s IQ by at least 20 points. A man who doesn’t happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble. When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a “path to citizenship” for illegal immigrants was a “civil right” and a “human right,” that epitomized the contempt for the public’s intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama administration. You know you are old when waitresses call you “dear.” Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama, it is hard to think of a president whose policies were more predictable from his history, however radically different those policies are from his rhetoric. When any two groups have different behavior or performance, that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a “disparate impact” on one of the groups. In other words, the criterion is blamed for an injustice to those who failed to meet the standard. Have you heard any gun control advocate even try to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates? Does anyone seriously believe that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against owning guns or large capacity magazines? I may be among the few people who want Attorney General Eric Holder to keep his job – at least until the 2014 elections. Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration. He is essentially Barack Obama without the charm, so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption. Despite political differences, it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Carney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face. What is he going to do when this administration is over? Wear a disguise, change his name or be put into a witness protection program?

Gun sense

T o the E ditor: Too many of us are dying by gun violence. Six thousand-plus since Sandyhook. Is this acceptable to you? Not to me. This is why I contacted my congresswoman Rep. Ann Wagner (2nd District) to ask her what her position was on new universal background checks, bans on high capacity magazines and assault weapons. She is not in favor of any of these enforcement laws. Her answer (or the answer of whoever answered the phone in her office), “We need to enforce the laws already on the books.” What gun laws are not being enforced that are on the books? Is this acceptable to you? Not to me. The primary purpose of government is to protect its citizens collectively – whether it’s federal government programs like Medicare, Social Security, car safety, airline safety, food safety or a list of other programs we don’t think about every day. This also includes our local police fighting crime. It’s our government’s job to protect us all. The First, Fourth and Second Amendments are not absolute. There are well-known,

We need to wake up and realize that as we talk about being a country that is non-racist, racism exists and we are encouraging it. We need to remove the spot on all applications that requires applicants to fill in their ethnicities; after all we are all Americans. Megan Clasen Chesterfiel

Unnecessary spending

enables students from the Normandy and Riverview Gardens school districts to transfer to neighboring school districts concerns me greatly. Is this the court’s first step in consolidating all St. Louis County school districts into one immense school district with one school district tax rate for the entire county? Why not consolidate the St. Louis City public school system into the mix as well? It appears that the courts are really trying hard to destroy our public schools. Will the residents of St. Louis County accept overcrowded, inferior schools or will they either send their children to parochial and private schools or relocate to school districts outside of the court’s reach? I have a better solution to prevent overcrowding of our schools. Currently the voluntary student transfer program sends students from the St. Louis public school system to St. Louis County school districts. I place emphasis on the term voluntary. Doesn’t the Parkway administration have a responsibility to its students and residents to prevent overcrowding of its schools? I recommend that for every student transferring in from Normandy and Riverview Gardens school districts, a voluntary transfer student from St. Louis City school system to be returned to the St. Louis public school system. The St. Louis public school system has provisional accreditation and its students are not entitled to transfer into other school districts. The overcrowding of our schools will be eliminated. Edward Hamm Chesterfiel

T o the E ditor: “Time to move forward” (West Newsmagazine, June 26) shows the Rockwood School District and its members still don’t get it. This letter stated there were two reasons why the “smaller” bond issues failed. Is $40 million-plus really considered “smaller”? The first reason given is because the federal government, with its deficit spending and growing debt, affects the willingness of many voters to approve additional funding. The second reason is the poor timing of the state auditor’s report caused questioning of the transparency. Really? Once again, blaming someone else. It would take me less than a day to find unnecessary spending. It is not a difficult concept; live within your means. An article in the June 26 edition of West Newsmagazine states that Rockwood approved using $4.6 million from its reserves of $57 million. I just shake my head every time I hear these outrageous figures. Until Rockwood starts showing it can spend money wisely and reduce spending it will have a hard time getting addiAffi mative action tional funding approved.

Art in the Parks

EDITORIAL

20 years later The story of Chesterfield Valley is a story of disaster. When the levee broke in the great flood of 1993, it allowed the Missouri River to release 10-15 feet of water across what was then known as the Gumbo Flats. The damage was unprecedented. According to the National Weather Service, the number of record river levels, the aerial extent, the number of people displaced, amount of crop and property damage and its duration surpassed all earlier U.S. floods in modern times. Gumbo Flats was completely underwater. The iconic image of the time is of Smoke House Market owner Thom Sehnert standing atop his business, hands on his hips, eyes scanning the muddy expanse that had engulfed the surrounding acreage. The story of Chesterfield Valley is a story of courage. Mike Geisel, Chesterfield’s director of public services, refers to the flood of 1993 as “the Great Cleansing Bath.” Many of the people directly affected by the flood have grown to be pillars of the city: Sehnert, Tom Fleming, Don Wiegand, Tom Shaw, Paul Schifano. These “survivors” helped not just to rebuild Chesterfield Valley, they led the effort to re-imagine it. They brought forth from the disaster one of the most thriving retail and commercial districts in the country. When the eyes of these leaders scanned the destruction, they were able to see – and shape – a better future from it. The story of Chesterfield Valley is a story of progress. The area boasts nearly four times as many licensed businesses

now as it did pre-flood. The number of full-time employees has increased tenfold and now totals approximately 40,000. The assessed valuation of the area is nearly $2 billion today and the area has more than doubled the amount of developed square footage. The Monarch-Chesterfield Levee was bolstered to 500-year flood levels. Chesterfield Commons, built for $275 million and opened in 1999, now encompasses more than 2 million square feet of retail space. The story of Chesterfield Valley is a story of hope. Perhaps the most amazing piece of this story is that the massive development that has taken place in the 20 years since the flood is not even close to complete. Within the next several months, two new outlet malls will open in areas that were under water in 1993. There are several more major projects expected to come to fruition in the next five to 10 years. The progress, the courage, the hope all continue. They rush forward as certainly as the water of the Missouri River rushes downstream. The staggering rebirth of the area has transformed our memories of the mighty flood. It is difficult to remember now the astounding levels of destruction. It is difficult to classify the flood as a disaster. So much has happened since then, so much continues, so much remains. Lao Tzu wrote that “one cannot reflect in streaming water.” It is difficult to look back at an area that seems to be constantly looking forward. But 20 years after a seemingly devastating flood, so much remains – and so much is still to come.

“Stan Meowsial” will be on diplay at The Miracle Field in Chesterfield hrough September. Learn more about this public art project on page 10.

News Br iefs CHESTERFIELD Sousa Sundays comes to Purser This summer, the Compton Heights Concert Band celebrates a first – its first summer series in the air-conditioned comfort of Purser Auditorium at Logan Chiropractic College in Chesterfield. Formed in 1976, the band is well known for its Musical Mondays at Tower Grove Park and its Sunday Serenades at St. Francis Park as well as for performances at Powell Symphony Hall. At Purser, the band will offer four concerts as part of its Sousa Sundays (three remain on July 14, 21 and 28). The concert on July 14 will feature guest soloist Sigrun Hjalmtysdottir “Diddú”. On July 21, Buckwheat Zydeco headlines. And on July 28, one of West County’s own comes home when international concert pianist Lindsay Garritson returns to St. Louis to perform Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue.” A former Ballwin resident, Garritson, whose clarinet-playing father still resides in West County, is fresh from the Van Cilburn International Piano Competition in Ft. Worth, Texas. This is the first time Garritson has played with the Compton Heights Concert Band and she is excited about the opportunity. “‘Rhapsody in Blue’ is just such a fun piece

to play and the audience always enjoys it,” Garritson said. Classically trained, Garritson finished 30 out of about 132 international competitors at the Cilburn competition. “It was definitely a great experience,” Garritson said. “But it was super high pressure. I played twice and even though I did not make it into the finals it is an amazing accomplishment to make it in to the top 30.” To learn more about Sousa Sundays, visit chband.org/SousaSundays2013.html.

Spirit of St. Louis Boulevard bridge closes The Spirit of St. Louis Boulevard bridge over Interstate 64 in Chesterfield closed this week and will remain closed through Aug. 7 as construction crews raise the existing bridge to correct existing low clearance issues for vehicles on I-64. The westbound I-64 exit at Spirit of St. Louis will remain open during the bridge closure. Traffic on the North Outer Road will be available, but will be limited. Traffic will be controlled by a traffic signal to allow only one directional movement.

night of vandalism at West County Honda. Sometime between June 23 and June 24, the two suspects, whose names have not been released to the public, allegedly scratched the hoods and punctured the tires of at least 23 vehicles in the dealership’s overflow car lot, located off 15970 Manchester Road. The two suspects were initially taken into custody, but later released, according to Ellisville Police Sgt. Nancy Walker. Two other suspects, ages 14 and 15, also were being investigated at presstime. Both adult suspects are being charged with destruction of property, a Class D felony, which carries a possible sentence of four years in prison and a $4,000 fine. Lt. John Connor, who is in charge of the squad investigating the case, said the severity of punishment typically would depend on the suspects’ criminal histories.

The roadwork is part of a $7 million project, jointly funded by MoDOT and the city of Wildwood, which is expected to improve the safety and flow of traffic along Route 109 from Clayton to Route 100. MoDOT reports that this stretch of Route 109 historically has a high rate of crashes, citing an accident rate of about twice that of other similar roads in Missouri. According to MoDOT, many of the crashes are due to congestion or to subdivision residents attempting to turn left through cross traffic. To help alleviate the problem, Route 109

MISSOURI Seniors warned of Medicare scams Missouri seniors should be on guard against two health care scams that recently have come to light. According to the Missouri Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP), one of the phony schemes starts with a telephone call from someone claiming to be an “official” with Medicare. The caller says Medicare is sending out new cards and needs to verify some information about your banking account. Because the caller is convincing and often appears to have some of your banking information already, the request sounds legitimate and even the savviest senior can fall victim to the approach, SMP warns. The organization further warns that seniors should never provide their banking information, Social Security or Medicare number to a stranger. The other scam involves an email claiming to be about Medicare open enrollment. It asks recipients to verify their Part D eligibility and enrollment by an upcoming deadline date. Because Medicare already has your information, the agency never will email or call you to confirm those details, SM warns. Anyone who has been a target of these schemes can call the Missouri SMP at (888) 515-6565 with questions or concerns. SMP’s mission is to help Medicare beneficiaries, their families and caregivers by providing outreach, counseling and education designed to prevent and detect healthcare fraud, errors and abuse.

Adam Paul fully reinstated as mayor of Ellisville

Ellisville Mayor Adam Paul

By DAN FOX dfox@newsmagazinenetwork.com Three months after Adam Paul was impeached, a St. Louis County Circuit Court Judge has reinstated him as mayor of Ellisville. Paul, his attorneys and John Maupin, the attorney representing the city of Ellisville, had gathered to hear the Judge David Lee Vincent’s ruling on a previous issue regarding Paul. That issue, a motion to stay Paul’s temporary reinstatement as mayor, was overshadowed when Vincent reached his final verdict on the entire case. The judge ruled that “the City Council

violated Paul’s procedural due process rights when they amended the resolution without prior notice and gave him no opportunity to consider the new charge, invalidating the April 1 removal hearing.” Paul said the unexpected ruling, which came after what he calls the most stressful six months of his life, left him stunned. “My attorney had to tell me two or three times before it fully set in,” Paul said. “It was just a shock that it was over.” According to Chet Pleban, one of Paul’s attorneys, there were several major problems with the impeachment proceedings, but it wasn’t necessary for the judge to look farther than the violation of Paul’s right to due process. “You don’t have to get there because you have an underlying procedural defect that sets aside the entire process,” said Pleban. Councilmember Gary Voss (District 1) said he’s happy Paul is back, and that the city will no longer spend money on a decision made by the previous Council. “I have no clue how it can get that far out of line, as far as bringing in all these attorneys and spending all that money,” Voss said. “There are things that we could do with that additional money that we’re spending.” Paul said his impeachment has cost the city of Ellisville somewhere from $125,000 to $150,000, between the costs of renting space for the hearings and retaining attorneys. Paul

said that he still plans on asking the Council to investigate those involved in bringing the impeachment charges against him. “I believe that there needs to be some sort of committee or investigation that needs to be done internally,” Paul said. “It was a huge waste of taxpayer dollars.” Paul said that being reinstated was the first step toward his vindication, and that a victory in the civil lawsuits being pursued against Councilmember Matt Pirrello (District 1), City Manager Kevin Bookout and former Ellisville City Attorney Paul Martin would be the second. However, Paul feels some of the charges the former Council brought against him still hang over his head. “I don’t think my name will ever be fully cleared,” Paul said. Paul said that Ellisville can now move on, become a stronger city and a healthier community. Currently, a priority for the Council is finding a new city attorney and a new city clerk, positions that were vacated since Paul first returned on a temporary basis. Regarding the Council, Paul said he and the new councilmembers may not always agree on issues, but that is to the better. “I expect healthy debate,” Paul said. “That’s how it should be. It’s going to be all business for quite some time. I believe that this new Council is going to step up and change the way that business is done.”

Keystone XL discussion spreads to Town & Country By SARAH WILSON swilson@newsmagazinenetwork.com In response to the controversially proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which would run from the Canadian border to connect to a pipeline in Nebraska, Environment Missouri on June 27 hosted a seminar as part of a Green Speaker Series at Longview Farm Park in Town & Country. The seminar followed President Barack Obama’s June 25 speech at Georgetown University, where he said he would only let the proposed pipeline project go forward if it does not “significantly increase” greenhouse gas emissions. “As a president, as a father, as an American, I am here to say, we need to act,” Obama said. “I refuse to condemn your generation and future generations to a planet that’s beyond fixing. He also directed the Environmental Protection Agency to draft a plan to set carbon emissions limits on power plants and finalize plans for carbon limits on new power plants. TransCanada, the oil company that hopes to build the proposed pipeline, has said the project would be the safest and most advanced pipeline operation in North America and would allow Canadian and American

oil producers more access to large refinin markets in the Midwest and along the U.S. Gulf Coast. It also has said that it will not only bring essential infrastructure to North American oil producers, but it will also provide long-term energy independence and an economic boost to Americans. The Keystone XL pipeline project is a proposed 36-inch-diameter crude oil pipeline and is part of two additions to the current Keystone pipeline. Obama approved the first addition, or Phase 3, running from Oklahoma to Texas, which currently is under construction. The second addition, or Phase 4, would supplement the existing Keystone pipeline, starting in Alberta and joining the existing pipeline in Nebraska. The pipeline is expected to add a variety of jobs and increase America’s gross domestic product, according to TransCanada. However, Stuart Keating, state advocate for Environment Missouri, a nonprofit citizen-based environmental advocacy organization, said at the Town & Country seminar that the proposed project could represent “game over for the environment.” If and when it is completed, the Keystone XL would transport 800,000 additional barrels of oil per day.

“From a greenhouse gas emissions standpoint, this represents an incredible investment in the exact wrong type of energy,” Keating said. “This is really a step backward in terms of energy use for the 21st century.” Keating said the proposed pipeline leaves unaddressed a lot of “really serious environmental issues and also leaves a lot of cultural issues.” One issue, he said, is with land ownership that involves sacred land for a number of Native American tribes that have said the close proximity between the proposed path would encroach on their traditional lands. Keating also said the global warming implications for the pipeline are “tremendous.” He said if the Keystone XL is approved and completed, the increase in extraction of oil from Canadian tar sands would lead to the equivalent of having an extra 73 million cars on the road. “That’s how much CO2 and other greenhouse gases would be released,” Keating said. He said every dollar of investment in oil, especially government incentives and subsidies, “is money that doesn’t go to wind and solar and energy sources that allow us See KEYSTONE, page 17

Clarkchester Apartment owners hope for progress in Walmart development By MARY SHAPIRO Owners of the Clarkchester Apartments complex are hoping that the recent approval by Ellisville of enabling legislation to allow for the issuance of about $11 million in tax increment financing notes to reimburse Sansone Group for approved expenses in the planned Walmart development on Manchester Road, will mean final approval of the sale of that apartment property. The latest extension of the contract to purchase the eight-acre Clarkchester property, now including 25 apartment buildings owned by eight individuals, expires at the end of this month, said Frank Marsilio, president of the Clarkchester Apartments association. Marsilio owns nine of the buildings. The Clarkchester owners’ original option-to-purchase agreement with developer Sansone dates back to January of 2012, and the owners have agreed to three six-month extensions since then, Marsilio said. “None of the owners are interested in any further extensions on that option-to-purchase agreement,” he said. “We’ve had no update from Sansone on finalizing the purchase, and we’re all anxious and waiting. We just want a done deal.” He said most of the Clarkchester tenants have already found new housing. “Only 11 of my original 36 tenants in my buildings are still there, on month-to-month leases,” Marsilio said. “I don’t know what the delay is but we’re hoping this sale now will go quickly and, by the end of the month, this will all be over with.” The Ellisville City Council on June 26 during a special meeting gave final approval by a vote of 4 to 3 to enabling legislation that will allow for the eventual issuance of the TIF notes. Councilmembers Mick Cahill (District 2) and Gary Voss (District 1) as well as Mayor Adam Paul were opposed. An attorney representing Sansone Group did not return West Newsmagazine’s phone calls and email asking for comments for this story.

Ellisville City Council pauses in acquisition of new city hall By MARY SHAPIRO mshapiro@newsmagazinenetwork.com Ellisville’s City Council has voted down a proposed contract for a design services agreement regarding the possible use of the Tri-Star auto dealership building on Manchester Road, near the Wildwood border, as a new city hall. Legislation allowing for a contract with Kuhlmann Design Group, Inc. for design services related to building and site assessments at the almost six-acre Tri-Star site failed to win final approval during a special June 26 Council meeting by a vote of 5 to 2 with only Councilmembers Matt Pirrello (District 1) and Roze Acup (District 3) in favor. The scope of the contract had changed to include the firm s assessment of use of current city buildings including the city hall at 1 Weis Ave., which some city officials have said is too small and obsolete with inadequate storage for continuing use by the city. Mayor Adam Paul objected that the contract was a “rush to judgment, putting the cart before the horse.” “We’d spend more than $30,000 for the Tri-Star assessment alone before we even

have a chance to hold town hall meetings to listen to the will of the people on this issue,” Paul said. Residents at the Council meeting objected to any planned move. “There are two other locations with ample parking in the center of the city, the old Best Buy and the old Gordmans buildings,” said resident Mary Ann Dust. “I think the current city hall building is just fine. If we need more storage, Ellisville has a couple of storage companies where we can lease space.” Resident Dan Duffy protested the city “pushing us to a hugely extravagant, expensive and unnecessary city hall.” “Of course, the staff wants you to move forward with that, but don’t let that blind you to what your constituents want,” Duffy told the Council. “There’s no need to spend that kind of money when we have deteriorating trails and other needs.” Resident Ed Hinch advised the Council to “do something good for the city and don’t buy property on the far side of town.” “Tri-Star’s price is way too high for a return on the city’s investment, and I think we can find a cheaper place where we don’t have to spend $5 million on a bond issue,” added resident Sandie McGrath.

Major ‘Clean Up’ The Manchester Police Department’s seventh annual Clean Up for Special Olympics held May 30 at Tucker’s Place was a recordsetting event. “I’m happy to announce that we’ve set a new highwater mark for 2013, as the police department has raised more than $10,000,” Manchester Police Chief Tim Walsh said. “I would like to thank Tom (Struharik) and the employees of Tucker’s Place and everyone who had dinner at Tucker’s during the event, made a donation, bought Torch Run merchandise or volunteered to work for the event. It all added up to be a very big night for Special Olympics.” Nationally, law enforcement’s adopted charitable cause is Special Olympics, and Manchester Police’s local Clean Up for Special Olympics reflects the combined effort of Tucker’s Place, 14242 Manchester Road, and volunteer police office s from the Manchester Police Department, who bus tables, collect donations and sell merchandise. Tucker’s Place, the annual host, donated a generous portion of the evening’s receipts to Special Olympics.

Governor halts DOR scanning, privacy protection investigation continues By SUE E. STEINIGER A new law enacted July 1 by Gov. Jay Nixon may put a stop to the Department of Revenue (DOR) practice of scanning and retaining electronic copies of personal documents, but it won’t deter House Speaker Tim Jones (R-District 110) and the House Bipartisan Investigative Committee on Privacy Protection from continuing their investigation into why the new process was implemented in the first place and who was behind the decision to do so. In an interview July 2, Jones said the signing of the bill does not resolve the issues for the committee he assembled in early May. “What we have been trying to find out all along is who changed the policy in the first place, who created that system, the purpose behind it, and do we have good policies in place so this can’t happen again in the future,” Jones said. Until those questions can be answered he said the work of the committee will go on. Jones said the new law reverses a 6-monthold policy and vindicates the hard work of his House and Senate colleagues and the investigatory committee, but he said he still has a lot of questions for key staff members who have answers the committee needs. On March 5, Rep. Todd Richardson (R-Poplar Bluff) and Jones co-sponsored House Bill 787, which sought to prohibit the DOR from retaining copies of source documents used to obtain driver’s licenses and nondriver’s licenses. The bill was in response to a lawsuit, filed March 4, which alleges that a Stoddard County resident was told he could not receive his concealed weapons (CCW) permit unless he allowed fee office workers to scan his driver’s license and application. (The bill Nixon signed into law on July 1 was Senate Bill 252.) In the wake of the lawsuit, Republican lawmakers accused the Nixon administration of trying to comply with the federal

REAL ID Act, which is against state law. On May 6, Jones announced he was forming the Bipartisan Investigative Committee on Privacy Protection. Just days before Nixon signed SB 252, the committee attempted to subpoena five of the Governor’s senior staff members to appear to testify. However, Cole County Circuit Judge Dan Green on June 27 issued a preliminary order preventing the committee from proceeding with the subpoenas. Reacting to the judge’s decision, Jones said the move caused him to wonder why the governor was stonewalling the investigation. “In my experience as a prosecutor, the more someone objects to legal process the more likely it is that they have something they are attempting to hide and do not want to disclose,” Jones said. He also expressed concerns that Nixon’s office is attempting to comply with U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s request to create some sort of gun registry in the state. “There seems to be massive profiling on an incredible, unbelievable level of all Missouri citizens,” Jones said in a conference call on June 27. At that time, he also made a special appeal to Nixon to cooperate with the investigation. “It’s the least they can do to restore trust in the governor’s office and the government in general,” he said. Of the new law, Jones said he thinks it is a victory for Missourians in protecting their privacy rights and their privacy interests. “It could not be timelier given the focus on the ever increasing and ever intrusive government – whether at the federal level, at the NSA PRISM program that’s been on the national news, or the IRS scandal. I think Gov. Nixon’s Department of Revenue has fallen right into line with showing the dangers of what happens when government gets too big and starts operating outside its constitutional parameter,” Jones said.

By JIM ERICKSON ericksonjim@att.net Those familiar with the University of Missouri Extension probably associate it with 4-H activities and the Master Gardener Program. But, in truth, it’s much more than that. And while Extension experts have always been just a telephone call or a few mouse clicks away, the hub of their activities and programs is now much closer geographically to West County residents. On June 26, the St. Louis County office of the University of Missouri Extension had an open house and ribbon cutting at its new location at 10650 Gateway Blvd., north of Olive and west of Warson Road in Creve Coeur. More than 100 people attended, including community leaders, university officials, members of Extension’s local volunteer governing board and others. Long familiar in outstate areas due to its programs for rural youth and other residents and its expertise in all things agricultural, Extension also has taken on the diverse challenges of urban/suburban areas with a variety of offerings appropriate for that demographic. Extension describes itself as “your onestop source for practical education on almost anything.” In addition to its 4-H and Master Gardener/Master Naturalist activities, Extension’s potpourri of local programs includes offerings in financial education, housing and environmental design, labor education, business and community development, nutrition and health education, workforce development, horticulture and civic communications.

Among its many specific recent activities have been a series of sessions on financial education for women, breakfast meetings focused on labor law issues, a 10-week strength training program for middle-aged and older adults, a six-week Cooking Matters course designed to help those with limited budgets get the most from their food dollars, and an annual program in neighborhood leadership development. A complete list of local programming and local events can be found online at extension.missouri.edu/stlouis. Additionally Extension can be followed on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and can be reached by calling (314) 400-2115, ext. 101. Extension’s goal is to spread the research findings and expertise of the nation’s land grant universities to the general public. The University of Missouri and Lincoln University are this state’s land grant schools. In comments at the open house and ribbon-cutting, MU Chancellor Brady Deaton said the Extension program is envied around the world and viewed as a model for educational efforts. Joining in welcoming Extension to its new location were County Executive Charlie Dooley and Creve Coeur Mayor Barry Glantz. The St. Louis County Extension office was established 95 years ago. Before the move to Creve Coeur, the office was in the County’s headquarters building in Clayton. County program director is Nina Balsam. Karen Watkins, of Chesterfield, chairs the county Extension Council, a volunteer governing board.

Breakthrough Treatment Now Available In Chesterfield Chesterfield, MO - Imagine thirty to forty years ago if you were told that lasers would replace scalpels in surgery or that robotic instruments would build cars; you may not have believed it. By the same token, would you believe that chiropractic treatments could be performed using a special hand-held instrument developed by NASA scientists; all while you were sitting in an upright position without any turning or twisting movements? Advances in computers and engineering technologies have been able to uniquely blend with chiropractic in order to both analyze and treat the human body in such a way that was never before realized. According to Drs. Strotheide & O’Leary, "This new form of computerized treatment is so gentle and effective, that it amazes even the most skeptical patients. It's called the ProAdjuster and is the latest, state-of-the-art technology in existence today, and the only one in the Chesterfield area." The ProAdjuster can safely and gently analyze and treat the spine and other joints to remove the nerve impingement that is often the cause of pains in the low back, neck, shoulder and elsewhere in the body. It also works on a variety of muscular conditions to loosen tight muscles with ease and comfort. Many patients say that

it's like getting a mini-massage. It can also help increase the amount of motion in almost any joint. Even patients with knee, hip and foot problems such as plantar fascitis are being helped. It is also covered by most insurance companies including medicare. Dr. Strotheide says that "The secret to the ProAdjuster lies in its advanced piezoelectric sensor that is able to detect the slightest amount of restriction in a joint and then deliver an extremely precise adjustment." He says that "Even though traditional forms of adjusting also work, people are drawn to this new technique because of how gentle it is and does not involve any twisting, especially in the neck. Many people love getting adjusted with traditional manual techniques, all of which are safe and effective. But there are a large number of people who never get to experience the amazing benefits of chiropractic because they are scared to have their spines adjusted in that way." Now, there is no longer a reason to be weary. The ProAjuster is perfect for anyone who has been thinking about going to a chiropractor, but hasn't yet made that decision. Drs. Strotheide and O’Leary want everyone to be able to experience these same benefits and if you have any of the

following conditions, the ProAdjuster may be the answer you've been looking for... - Low back discomfort - Sciatic nerve pain - Neck and shoulder pain - TMJ dysfunction - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Headaches

- Fibromyalgia - Planter Fascitis - Knee or hip pain - Scoliosis - Arthritis - Sports injuries

Treatment with the ProAdjuster is consistent, measurable and extremely gentle. There is no guesswork, and it's safe for individuals of all ages. Call our office today and mention this article to receive a FREE ProAdjuster analysis to pin-point your problem areas and to see how the ProAdjuster can help.

“Our Attention to Detail & Creative Design Sets Us Apart!”

By WARREN MAYES wmayes@newsmagazinenetwork.com Marquette’s Matt Hink liked the view from field at Busch Stadium. He hopes it won’t be his last. “It was an awesome experience playing out there and thinking maybe someday I could be out there making a living,” said Hink. “Some local high schools play a game there during their season but I never have, so it was an awesome first time. Hink, who recently graduated Marquette, was playing in the third annual SmilesLEAGUE Coaches’ Choice High School Seniors All-Star baseball game. The former Mustang was on the Blue team coached by former Cardinals third baseman Scott Cooper. Playing first base for fiv innings and hitting as a designated hitter for four innings, Hink contributed to the team’s 9-2 victory. He got two hits in five at-bats with a double off the wall and a single. He had one RBI and scored one run. “I was supposed to pitch the ninth inning but didn’t end up being used since we were up by seven runs,” Hink said. “It was very exciting for me when my coach (John Meyer) told me I was selected for this game. It was my goal to play in one of the high school all-star games at the end of the season. “I think it was a great end to my high school career. I got to display some of my talents on the best field in the state with some of the better kids in the county and city. I thought the event was run very well – from the Cardinals tickets we got a few nights before, to the game and even all the plaques and awards.” Hink has been accepted as a student at Harvard University and has committed to play in their baseball program. He was a three-year varsity starter for Marquette as well as a Suburban West All-

Conference pitcher in both 2011 and 2012. He also was an All-District pitcher in 2012 and set a school record for single-season ERA of 0.76 that same year. Hink finished his senior season with a .360 batting average. He had eight doubles, three triples and three home runs. On the hill, Hink was 5-0 in eight starts and nine appearances. He had a 2.35 ERA, issued 14 walks and struck out 22 batters. “I was very pleased with my senior season both at the plate and on the mound,” Hink said. “Not to mention we were a successful team this year. The past spring seasons I had never hit too great, but always hit well in the summer, so I was glad to finally hit well for my school.” Looking back, Hink had some highlights he is proud of from his playing days at Marquette. “One highlight of my career was hitting a walk-off home run my sophomore year,” Hink said. “In my junior season, I set the school single season ERA record with a 0.76 ERA. Being a first team all-conference and all-district pitcher my junior and senior year was a highlight, too.” Several schools were interested in Hink. Among them were Dartmouth, Yale, Columbia, the Air Force Academy, Duke, Villanova, Southeast Missouri State, Washington University and some Patriot League schools. But it was Harvard that won out. Naturally, academics are important at the Ivy League school, and Hink has the credentials to succeed there. “That was the biggest area on my priority list – finding a school that I could get a great education at, because I know that a strong foundation academically can get you a lot of places,” Hink said. He finished with a 4.42 GPA at Marquette. His composite score on the ACT was a 32 with a superscore of 34. “I plan on pursuing an engineering path to start, or at least something related to math,” Hink said. But he will also be playing ball for the Crimson. Harvard recruited Hink to pitch and play first base He is looking forward to the experience. “I am very excited about the transition to a higher level of both education and baseball, but at the same time a bit nervous since I am a freshman once again and it will take a little while to feel things out,” Hink said. “I believe I will get better in both areas because I am going to be surrounded by talented and bright students and players who will be competing with me.” Meanwhile, Hink is playing this summer for the St. Louis Sting, who are coached by Earl Green. “The team is looking good and it’ll be a fun summer before I leave for Harvard,” Hink said.

Saint Louis Rowing wins gold By WARREN MAYES wmayes@newsmagazinenetwork.com The Saint Louis Rowing Club can compete with the “big dogs” around the country. The Men’s Youth 4+ team showed it can dominate on the national scene. The crew recently won a gold medal at the U.S. Rowing Youth Nationals Championships at Oak Ridge, Tenn. It was just the second gold medal for the rowing club and its first since 1998 “The team had come so close in the past, but we could rarely stand with the big dogs of the country,” Kendrick said. “Finally getting to stand up on the podium and receive the gold medals and trophy wasn’t just a win for us, but a victory for all those who came before us, and the rest of those who follow.” The winning time for the St. Louis team was 6 minutes, 43.06 seconds. The secondplace time was 6:49.37. “We did nothing less than dominate – 7 seconds over a 6.5-minute race,” said B.J. Francis, who just graduated from Ladue. “Count to seven in your head. It’s a big difference.” Besides Francis, the other members of the team are Charlie Lebens, who will be a senior at Whitfield this fall; Kendrick, who just graduated from Ladue; Jimmy Francis, who will be a senior at Ladue this fall; and Andrew Grant, who will be a junior at Parkway Central this fall. Grant is the coxswain. “Having won by the margin that we did, most of us were almost in disbelief that it actually had happened,” Lebens said. “We had always joked about what we would do if we won nationals, but it was surreal having it actually happen.” The victory makes everyone around the country aware of the St. Louis program. “This gold medal, although it seems insignificant in the grand scheme of the club, will play a key role in two main factors – it shows the rest of America that St. Louis is not the small, slow club from the Midwest, but will soon be forcing competition on the coasts to push harder and harder for the gold in years to come,” said B.J. Francis, who will be going to Princeton this fall to row.

“We won so definitely, that other teams have no doubt that we are the fastest. “Second, it puts SLRC in good standards at home. Hopefully this national title will attract real die-hard athletes like myself and my crew from the area to join.” The positions in the boat were Jimmy Francis, bow; Kendrick, 2; Lebens, 3; B.J. Francis, stroke. Coach Michael Black said it takes time to determine where each athlete is in the boat. “We try different combinations during the year and see what gives us the best chemistry,” Black said. “The right blend is essential to success and the same rowers in a different order might not be so fast.” The win left Lebens feeling good about all the hard work that the crew put in during the season. “It feels great to have such an achievement, but I think this mostly solidifies the hard work that we’ve put into this season to be able to come out undefeated,” Lebens said. Jimmy Francis agreed. “I think it is really important to the team,” Jimmy Francis said. “We have never won a national championship before and hopeful it will inspire some rowers on our team to really give it their all. It means everything to me. “All the training we did all year paid off at the end. I cannot be happier.” Winning the gold was the goal from the start of the season. “We found out in a team meeting at the beginning of the season that the team would be pursuing a national gold medal in whichever event showed the most promise,” Kendrick said. “The expectations were high going in. We knew we had a shot. We knew we could do it.” The leadership provided by Black was an important ingredient for the crew. “We couldn’t have gone anywhere without Andrew Black’s coaching,” B.J. Francis said. “Starting from the bottom, he made us into a real crew. Andrew deserves to bask in our success as much as anyone.”

Healt h Capsu les to a child’s mental health. As a part of a national survey, researchers interviewed 3,500 children age 17 and younger or their parents about sibling aggression, looking at things like physical assault with and without a weapon or injury; stealing from the child with or without force, or intentionally breaking siblings’ things; or saying things to make a child feel bad, afraid or not wanted around. Researchers also assessed the children’s mental health. The findings revealed that sibling aggression was associated with “significantly worse mental health” among the children who were bullied, and “distress was evident for children and adolescents who experienced both mild and severe forms of sibling aggression,” according to the AAP.

Game-day concussions Being bullied by a sibling can be harmful to a child’s mental health, according to a new study.

Sibling aggression When a child picks on a brother or sister, parents often dismiss the behavior as normal, but according to study published in this month’s issue of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ (AAP) journal, Pediatrics, bullying by a sibling can be harmful

Reducing the amount of contact time during youth football practices may do little to reduce the likelihood of players suffering concussions. In a National Football League-funded study, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and Cornell University observed nearly 500 players aged 8-12 in tackle football leagues and found that overall, they were 26 times more likely to suffer a concussion in a game than during a practice. Eleven- and 12-yearold players were nearly three times as likely

to have a concussion than players aged 8-10. “This finding suggests that reducing contact-practice exposures in youth football, which some leagues have done recently, will likely have little effect on reducing concussion risk, as few concussions actually occur in practice,” Anthony Kontos, the study’s principal investigator, said in a University of Pittsburgh news release. “Instead of reducing contact-practice time, youth football leagues should focus on awareness and education about concussion. We believe that practice is when tackling technique can be taught and reinforced in a much safer environment than in games.” The researchers noted also that players in “skill” positions (quarterback, running back and linebacker) experienced 95 (19 out of 20) percent of the concussions. The study was published June 6 in The Journal of Pediatrics.

Pedestrian peril You may be able to walk and chew gum at the same time, but can you manage walking while talking on a cellphone? Results of a national study show that in 2010, about 1,500 people were treated in emergency rooms for injuries relating to using a cellphone while walking. That is more than double the number of such

injuries reported in 2005, and researchers believe the actual number of injuries is even higher than available data suggests. They believe also that the frequency of talkingwhile-walking injuries will continue to rise. “If current trends continue, I wouldn’t be surprised if the number of injuries to pedestrians caused by cellphones doubles again between 2010 and 2015,” said Jack Nasar, an Ohio State University researcher who co-authored a study on the topic. “The role of cellphones in distracted driving gets a lot of attention and rightly so, but we need to also consider the danger cellphone use poses to pedestrians.” The researchers used data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, a database maintained by the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission used to estimate total injuries treated at U.S. emergency rooms. A variety of injuries were reported, including one to a 14-year-old who fell off a bridge and another to a man who was hit by a car while walking on the middle line of a road and talking on his phone. Most injuries were to people aged 21 to 25, with 16 to 20-year-olds not far behind. “Parents already teach their children to look both ways when crossing the street,” Nasar said. “They should also teach them to put away their cellphone when walking, particularly when crossing a street.”

The study appears in the August 2013 issue of Accident Analysis and Prevention.

Total exercise time, not frequency, matters Medical experts recommend 30 minutes of physical activity five days a week, but a new study showed that the health benefits are just as good when adults exercise only a few days a week – as long as they accumulate 150 minutes for the week. Queen’s University researchers studied more than 2,300 adults in Canada to find out if frequency of exercise is associated with risk factors for diabetes, heart disease and stroke. “The findings indicate that it does not matter how adults choose to accumulate their 150 weekly minutes of physical activity,” researcher Ian Janssen said. “For instance, someone who did not perform any physical activity on Monday to Friday but was active for 150 minutes over the weekend would obtain the same health benefits from their activity as some who accumulated 150 minutes of activity over the week by doing 20-25 minutes of activity on a daily basis.” The research was published in Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism.

Doctor-recommended health apps Many people are using mobile apps to help manage and improve their health, and according to Dr. Jamie Tueth, D.O., a primary care physician in practice at Chesterfield Primary Care, showing one’s doctor information from some of those apps can add great value to a doctor visit. Because there are so many apps available, Tueth said, it can be hard to know which ones truly offer features that will improve a person’s health. The following are her favorite health apps for various conditions: • Diabetes management Glucose Buddy is a free app that allows patients to enter blood glucose, carbohydrate consumption and the amount of insulin they are using; the date and time when blood sugar is checked; and whether the value was before breakfast, after dinner, etc. Readings can be printed out for the doctor. Glooko lets users download glucose readings directly from a glucose monitor, creating a blood glucose log. Users can log insulin and carbohydrate counts as well. Glooko is free, but users need to purchase the Glooko MeterSync Cable to download glucose readings to the app. • Healthy eating/weight management GoMeals is a database with nutritional values of foods, including many from popular restaurants menus. It includes a restaurant locator to help find nearby restaurants, their menus and the nutritional values of their foods. Users can search food items for nutritional values and can track

to “Today’s Plate” their daily calorie intake and the distribution of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Loseit! allows users to log nutritional values of foods and track exercise, making it easy to see daily calorie intake versus calories burned. It features a barcode scanner for logging packaged foods and sets a personalized daily calorie allotment for users’ personal goals. It also allows users to challenge friends who have the app to achieve a goal, which creates some motivational competition. • Blood pressure control For the hypertensive patient who wants to control blood pressure, there is iBP Blood Pressure. Users can log blood pressure and heart rate and view the results on a graph. Logs can be emailed to the patient’s physician. • Smoking cessation Livestrong MyQuit Coach has a personalized quitting plan that enables users to enter motivations to quit smoking and track daily cigarette use, in addition to their current daily cigarette allowance per a personalized plan. It includes helpful quitting tips and facts, motivating users to stop smoking.

Medicated Americans Almost 70 percent of Americans take a prescription medication, more than half take two prescription drugs, and 20 percent take five or more. The most commonly prescribed medications are antibiotics, antidepressants and painkilling opioids. Those were the findings of Mayo Clinic researchers studied the nation’s prescription drug use across all age groups. “Often when people talk about health conditions, they’re talking about chronic conditions such as heart disease or diabetes,” study author Jennifer St. Sauver said. “However, the second most common prescription was for antidepressants; that suggests mental health is a huge issue and is something we should focus on. And the third most common drugs were opioids, which is a bit concerning considering their addicting nature.” Specificall , researchers found that: • Seventeen percent of those studied are prescribed antibiotics, 13 percent take antidepressants, 13 percent are on opioids, 11 percent are on drugs to control blood pressure and 11 percent are prescribed vaccines. • Overall, women and older adults receive more prescriptions. • Vaccines, antibiotics and anti-asthma drugs are the most commonly prescribed drugs for people younger than 19. • Antidepressants and opioids are most common among young and middle-aged adults. • Nearly 25 percent of women aged 50-64 are on an antidepressant. The National Institute on Aging funded the study.

Most popular baby names: Sophia and Jacob retain No. 1 spots in at a comparatively paltry 1,566,802 and is closely followed by Elizabeth, Jennifer and Linda. James and Mary clearly dominated the last century, but popularity is fleeting. So where do they rank today? James is holding his own. He snagged the 14th spot in 2012 and has never dropped below 19 in the last 100 years. But Mary, in her purest form, has fallen out of favor – all the way to 123, her lowest ranking yet. It may be a small consolation to fans of the Madonna that Mia, a variation of Mary, ranked eighth in 2012. The old saying “like father, like son” may offer one explanation for the endurance of James versus Mary. Of the 49 percent of Americans named after family members, according an Ancestry.com survey, a third are named after their fathers. So it follows that a lot of those baby boys named James may actually be a junior, aka Jim or Jimmy, at the family table.

When the 100-year Chesterfield levee was breached and the Missouri River surged into “Gumbo Flats,” very few people expected Chesterfield Valley to rise like a phoenix – except perhaps, a group of dedicated business owners, who, in the wake of the flood, formed a group known as the Phoenix Forum. Tom Fleming was a member of the Forum. He described what many business owners were feeling in the days immediately before and after the flood. “We had packed up or moved out as much as we could and were sitting on the dock of my building knowing that tomorrow – whatever happened – we would be out of business at least temporarily,” Fleming said. “That night when I heard on the news that the levee was breached, it was like a knife.” He holds his fist to his abdomen. “Real physical pain.” But the pain couldn’t last long – not when the Phoenix Forum and other groups were determined to rebuild the levee, their businesses and the valley. Mike Geisel, Chesterfield s director of public services then and now, underscored the city’s determination. “(The) Council came in the next day, had an emergency meeting and committed $1

million toward the effort of reconstructing the levee, recertifying the levee (and) making it a 500-year levee,” he said. Television news footage of Thom Sehnert surveying the muddy floodwaters from the roof of Annie Gunn’s and Smoke House Market left viewers with the mistaken impression that his businesses were a total loss. “The Great Flood of 1993 was certainly disastrous, but not fatal,” Sehnert said. “With an incredible amount of love and support from our family, our friends and our faith, we re-opened the Smoke House Market and Annie Gunn’s seven months later on March 1, 1994. Twenty years later, we are still very humbled, grateful and excited to be a part of the fabric of the Chesterfield communit .” One of the oldest buildings in the valley, Smoke House Market opened in 1937 as the Chesterfield Mercantile Compan . Chesterfieldsculptor Don Wiegand, whose historic studio was flooded, remembers how the community rallied for a common cause. “What amazed me was how everyone pulled together before, during and after the flood,” Weigand said. “People had fond memories here, and they wanted to help. The biggest thing was the camaraderie. I built it (the studio) for everybody, and they

came to save it. The studio was theirs to begin with. Bad things aren’t always bad – just hard. Good comes from it.” Two days prior to the Monarch-Chesterfield Levee breach, Paul Schifano, D.V.M., and his staff at Petropolis began making calls to clients and their emergency contacts in an effort to safely evacuate all pets from the facility. Despite those efforts, when the levee broke, about 85 dogs remained on site and had been moved upstairs for safekeeping. Less than two hours before the floodwaters reached Petropolis, the city of Chesterfield sent dump trucks to rescue the dogs, all of which were safely transferred to another boarding facility. As the trucks pulled away, the water began rolling into Petropolis. “We saw this oozing ‘lava’ of water just come and consume our facility,” Schifano said. “It reminded me of lava – just overflowing our parking lot. … We just barely got out of there.” The valley flooded quickly. But, according to Chesterfield Police Chief Ray Johnson, drying out and cleaning up took months. With the police headquarters building submerged in 15 feet of water, the department relocated to an emergency bunker made available by St. Louis County. “We were there eight months until the flood waters receded and we were able to get back in our facilities and clean up,” Johnson said. “We had a foot of mud and silt all over, along with snakes, frogs and dead fish. We literally had to bulldoze the place out, including the walls.” As the water retreated, Dick Rapko, who headed operations at Spirit of St. Louis Airport, said he had no clear vision of what the valley’s future would be, but he had no doubt about the airport’s future. “It already was part of the National Airport Systems Plan,” he said, “which meant it was recognized as having a vital role in the nation’s aviation.” Spirit’s aviation vitality also played a huge

Don Wiegand

role in the valley’s recovery according to Lee McKinney, a retired Army colonel who was hired by the Phoenix Forum to navigate the political waters of reconstruction. “The Corps of Engineers came out and did a damage study and gave approval to restore the levee to pre-flood specific tions,” McKinney explained. But the business owners wanted more than 100-year protection. They wanted a levee that would withstand a “500-year flood.” To get it they had to justify the cost. “Businesses were beginning to come back and we could use those applications (for building permits, etc.) as proof of viability,” McKinney said. But the greatest help came from Chesterfield resident Leonard Griggs, who at the time was director of Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. “With Spirit closed, all the air traffic that had used Spirit was redirected to Lambert and that was causing delays,” McKinney explained. “Delays at Lambert were causing delays throughout the country.” Griggs conducted a study on the delays, which was translated into economic costs and considered in relation to the need of an improved levee.

the success of the valley involved people to numerous to count. “It was a joint effort,” he said. “Even small things like renaming the Gumbo Flats to Chesterfield Valley; and then effort by THF to see the potential to develop this area as a retail center.” As Herring eluded, perhaps no one exhibited more confidence in a vibrant future for Chesterfield Valley than Michael Staenberg, who in 1996 as president of THF Realty presented the Chesterfield Community Development Corp. with a proposal to build Chesterfield Commons in the floodplai Today, the bustling development he championed features more than 2 million square feet of retail stores, restaurants and banks. Having witnessed the valley when it was a “mucky mess,” McKinney said he was surprised not only by the speed of the development but that 20 years later the valley continues to grow and thrive. “We have something happening here that isn’t happening anywhere else in the country,” McKinney said. Tom Shaw Sr., of Tom Shaw Realtors, claimed Chesterfield as the geographic center for St. Louis County and adjoining counties. The development of the valley, he said, “was a discovery about what a great future this area could have.”

Geisel, who refers to the flood as the “Great Cleansing Bath of 1993,” said the process of developing the valley actually began years before the flood “Prior to the flood, the city was in the process of doing a master development study for Chesterfield Valley. They started it in 1992,” he said. “They were trying to establish what the vision in the Chesterfield Valley was going to be, how it was going to develop, what needed to be built and all those sorts of things. “So we have this master planning effort going in progress that was absent of any flood concerns going on in the valley. Then the flood hit and it was almost as if they didn’t miss a beat. They just kind of shifted their direction from a development to a redevelopment plan, and it worked out incredibly well.” One of the reasons things worked out as they did was because of $72.3 million in tax increment financing. “We did a very important and very different thing with our TIF,” said Chesterfield City Administrator Mike Herring. “We made a decision early on to allocate every single TIF dollar for infrastructure improvements. We didn’t spend one cent on city development costs.” But Herring is quick to point out that

Building success For visitors to the area, Boone’s Crossing is a critical infrastructure – one that was built with TIF dollars. According to David Human, attorney for the Monarch-Chesterfield Levee District, Boone’s Crossing was built only in conjunction and connection with Chesterfield Commons. But the convenient egress and ingress it provides has led to additional development on both sides of Hwy. 40. Human noted that the Chesterfield City Council, in November of 1997, approved three things that were needed for the building of Boone’s Crossing – the use of TIF, the strengthening of the levee that runs behind Chesterfield Commons and the realignment of a section of the Monarch-Chesterfiel Levee, which needed to be pushed back about 700 feet at the site of the overpass. Today, that property is the site of the Taubman Prestige Outlets Chesterfield, he said Holding back the river, the MonarchChesterfield Levee and the district that shares its name may be the true stars of the Chesterfield Valley story. As Staenberg recently told West Newsmagazine, “I am completely confident in the integrity of the levee system. Before the original levee system, there was a 100year farmer’s levee. Since that time, we have built a 500-year engineer levee. We

have had a tremendous amount of rain in the last 15 years and have not even come close to having any issue. “I am never concerned about another flood. He pointed out a distinction that validates his lack of concern. “We have regular flood insurance that anybody else buys,” Staenberg said. Following the flood, the levee district took on a different role, according to Herring. “They took their role as being one of the offense to address what had to be addressed to make sure what happened in ‘93 wasn’t

going to happen again,” Herring said. Geisel agreed. “All of a sudden the levee district became a representative of the corporate nature of the valley,” he said. Today, the Monarch-Chesterfie d Levee District is still working with the city and other entities to ensure that the valley is protected from the river and businesses have the confidence to thrive. Along the way the district also has been instrumental in the development of key recreational opportunities, including the

levee trail. “It’s a great amenity to the public,” Human said. “And for the levee district it’s a real benefit. One of the biggest issues in 1993 was that we had very little access to the levee. Today, we have roads all along the base of the levee and the bike trail doubles as an access road.” In 1999, Chesterfield took over the Chesterfield Valley Athletic Complex, which sits in the shadow of the levee, and built on what the Chesterfield Valley Athletic Association had created and privately owned.

“That complex down there now is one of the best in the entire region,” Herring said. “It wasn’t directly affected by the flood but that was the beginning of where things started turning around.” North of the CVAC and the levee trail, Chesterfield boasts a naturalist’s dream – acres of wetlands within the levee-protected area. The wetlands are the direct result of the city and levee district creatively responding to the needs of Chesterfield business owners and developers “Circa 1993, President Bush had come up with a no net loss of wetlands nationwide, and there were some 80 acres of wetlands inside the levee-protected area,” Geisel said. “Some were as small as 10-by-10 areas.” All of those areas required wetland mitigation, which created challenges for individual developers. “The city was able to work with the levee district, and we got the Corps to issue a valley-wide permit, which, while it seems simple, meant that instead of having to individually go to the Corps of Engineers for every site (and having to mitigate the effect of development on each wetland), developers could come to us,” Geisel said. “We (the city) took out the permit. We were able to cooperate with the levee district to identify a site where we would mitigate those wetlands.” According to McKinney, the result is better wetlands and another amenity for

Chesterfield residents and visitors. “The economic benefits of Chesterfield Valley are shared throughout the entire region,” Geisel said. “And there’s no question that it has helped spur some of the surrounding development, whether it’s RGA, Mercy, the current Hyatt place. All that is being driven by the amenities that Chesterfield Valley can provide.” Herring agreed. “Obviously I think Chesterfield Valley will fill out. We’re in a really good position when the economy does finally break loose that we’ll be able to spring forward,” he said. “We’ve got infrastructure in place. We’ve got zoning in place. We’ve got master plans in place that really set the table for development of the valley, and I think it’s planned out in a very conscientious and solid way so that we don’t oversaturate or put ourselves in a position that can’t be supported.” Soon two new outlet malls will add to the economic vitality of the region. And, according to developer Dean Wolfe, Chesterfield Blue Valley, a mixed use business and entertainment development, will follow in the next five years But even as newcomers arrive in the valley, those who battled the flood and won remain. “If you learn not to give up and keep fin ing solutions, you will,” Schifano said. “It gives you an amazing amount of courage to go through something like that and say you did it.”

Artwork by students at STLCC-Wildwood, such as this painting by student artist Vickie Hefty, may soon be hanging in Wildwood City Hall. (Photo courtesy of St. Louis Community College-Wildwood Fine Arts Facebook page)

By MARY SHAPIRO mshapiro@newsmagazinenetwork.com An ongoing display of artwork by students at the St. Louis Community College-Wildwood campus could be open to the public as early as late summer for at least a one-year trial period at Wildwood City Hall. Planning and Parks Director Joe Vujnich told the City Council June 24 that the city has received a proposal from the college to be able to display works at least initially on the north wall in the community room on the first floor of City Hall, 16860 Main S “The city and college campus would like to test the waters and start with a display just in the community room,” he said. Exhibits will be curated by the campus art faculty as well as by student representatives of the campus’ Fine Arts Club for appropriate content for public display. Placement of art can be accepted or rejected by the city before the display begins, and the city can select pieces it would like to see on display, Vujnich said. The club’s gallery program provides local business owners an opportunity to select original art works from students for display, Vujnich told the Council. The Council’s Planning/Economic Development/Parks Committee has been working with the Wildwood campus, which he said has an excellent arts program and has many works of art, including sculptures, both inside and outside campus grounds. “Artwork would be a welcome addition at City Hall and give students opportunities for display of their work at a very public place,” Vujnich said. “And the college would love to add indoor and outdoor sculpture to City Hall eventually. There’s a sculptor who has a number of pieces at the campus and is willing to provide them here.” Councilmember Colleen Rull (Ward 6), chair of the committee, said the display

“will bring a lot of life” to the building. She suggested the city could put possible artwork selections on the city’s website to let residents select art for public display. Rotation of artwork will be on a three to four-month basis at City Hall, Vujnich said. From four to six pieces will be on display at a time, at least initially. The artist’s and artwork name, price, artistic medium and contact information for purchase will be on each piece. Once a piece has been purchased, another will be immediately brought in to replace it. Exhibitors will have to sign a hold harmless agreement before their artwork goes into City Hall, to avoid any city liability, Vujnich said. And the city’s master plan identifies provision of public art as a community objective. “I’ve seen the art produced by the community college and it’s superior, stunning – this seems to be a win-win situation,” Councilmember Jack Clark (Ward 4) said. “We’ll be able to mentor students and enhance the beauty of this building.” Councilmember Ed Marshall (Ward 2) said the city has a lot of artists of all ages who might also like to display their works at City Hall; however, Vujnich noted that many of them have other outlets for displays already. Professor Mark Weber, a faculty member and chair of the visual and performing arts division of the St. Louis Community College-Wildwood campus, said the entire artworks initiative has been going on for about two years and is entirely studentdriven. “A Fine Arts Club member and student, Vicki Hefty, especially wanted to get students’ work, which is quite exceptional, out into community where people could see it off campus, so she spearheaded the project,” Weber said. He said Hefty has approached local businesses including the Wildwood Hotel and Wildwood Starbucks about display opportunities. “Living in Wildwood myself, I know this community is very interested in the arts in general, and I think these works enhance the environment of all the businesses, giving them a very creative and uplifting environment for people to visit,” Weber said. The effort mentors students by providing access to the community at large, he said. “Many of these students have never exhibited work outside the school before, and this program gives them a chance to seek out destinations to exhibit, hang the work themselves – most of the works are two-dimensional, including paintings, photos and drawings – and work with the lighting and other aspects of the display environment,” Weber said. “We make it easy for people to purchase a piece, and all sales amounts go 100 percent to the artist.”

By JIM ERICKSON ericksonjim@att.net Three days before the original target date, the Central County Emergency 911 center in Ellisville began receiving all fire and emergency medical service calls formerly handled by South County Fire Alarm. “I’ll sleep good tonight,” said Michael Turner, Central County’s executive director, clearly pleased with the smooth transition involving not only receiving 911 calls but also dispatching firefight -paramedics and equipment where needed in the South County area as well as parts of Jefferson and Franklin counties. The change originally was scheduled for July 1 but was moved up to June 28, in an effort to avoid the traditionally heavier call volume during the days leading up to the July 4 holiday. Turner said vendors who provided equipment and communications links for the switch were on hand to deal with any unexpected problems. Personnel also were at

South County Fire Alarm’s dispatch center before, during and after the change for the same reason. But, Turner added, the switch “was uneventful and went smoothly.” With the new setup, residents and businesses formerly served by the Mehlville, Affton, Valley Park, Fenton, Lemay and Eureka fire protection districts and the Crestwood Department of Fire Services have their 911 calls for fire and emergency medical services handled by the Central County operation on Weis Avenue just north of Manchester Road. Central County began handling calls in the Pacific Fire Protection District, formerly part of South County, last Jan. 1. With this step completed, Central County now is aiming for a second major expansion this fall. That’s the target date for handling fire and emergency medical calls from areas now served by North Central Fire Alarm. North Central has announced it will close its dispatch center Oct. 31.

Monarch fi efigh ers and paramedics got a lesson recently in how to recognize a pet that is in distress. Dr. Meredith Thoen, DVM, provided training to Monarch first responders on how to recognize a stressed or frightened dog, how to restrain a stressed dog or cat, and how to recognize a small pet in respiratory distress. Dr. Thoen also demonstrated the safe use of oxygen masks for pets. “We don’t typically get training in how to handle a distressed pet, yet many of Dr. Meredith Thoen, DVM, recently taught our calls have some connection with a Monarch fi st responders how to care for pet,” explained Monarch Public Educa- pets in crisis. tion Officer Ray Antonacci.

Chesterfi ld cemetery keeps memory of days of slavery alive

TWO DAYS ONLY ANNUAL TENT SALE JULY 19th-20th

Donald Kelly stands by the grave of a relative, Henry Jackson, who died in 1903.

FRI & SAT 8am-7pm

10am-4pm

By JIM MERKEL stlmerkel@att.net The gravestones at the old cemetery along Chesterfield Parkway West just south of Interstate 64 tell a story, but not all of it. “At Rest. Jos. Ellis Born Feb. 14, 1865. Died Feb. 24, 1938. Husband and Father,” says one. Another records that Mike Alexander was born on April 14, 1853, and died May 13, 1920. Some of the 40 or so stones are too faint to read. A few are broken off and lay flat on the ground Countless others buried in the half-acre old Memorial Cemetery of the First Baptist Church of Chesterfield don’t have stones. Some were slaves. The land was part of the property slave owner Maria Long gave to local slaves in 1846. Part of the land went for a log cabin where the slaves worshipped and part for a cemetery. The African-American congregation built two other churches on the property before it relocated to a third at 17155 Wild Horse Creek Road in 1996. The cemetery in the shadow of Chesterfield Mall remains, although the last burial was in 2006. Although it’s easy to drive by the cemetery without taking much notice, perhaps – as evidenced by the Old Slave Road debate in Wildwood – we would do well to remember these silent witnesses of West County’s past. The memories of the slaves and former slaves buried there remain. “I’m glad that they had somewhere where they could rest in peace,” said Donald Kelly, 79, who was in charge of the cemetery’s

upkeep from about 1958 to about 1993. “I’ve got relatives, a mother and father and aunt buried here,” he said. Kelly is a retired chemical operator. His father, Emmanuel Belger, was the first black person who worked for the St. Louis County Recorder of Deeds office. His relatives who are noted on stones include Henry Jackson, who lived from July 25, 1843, to Sept. 6, 1903; Walletta M. Jackson, who was born on Jan. 12, 1906, and died Aug. 11, 1923; and Lulu J. Williams, who was born on Oct. 14, 1880, and died March 2, 1946. Today, the grounds are immaculately kept by a landscaper paid for by the church. Those wanting to rest while visiting the grounds can sit on benches. A wrought iron fence forms a square around the property. At the entrance are brick posts with a plaque giving the history of the church. The cemetery was in much worse shape when Kelly joined the church’s congregation in 1957. With only about 40 or 50 members, there were not enough people to maintain it. “This was a wilderness when I first came here,” he said. “I oversaw the burials. The guys used to dig the graves by hand, sometimes when the service was going on.” Sometimes, the gravediggers hit bones. “When I first came here, there used to be a lot of big snakes out there,” he said. “We used to shoot them out of the trees.” Things started improving at the cemetery after Kelly took over its maintenance. “Once we got it in shape, we were able to keep it up,” he said. He noted that the the improvements make it “look more like a cemetery.” A key person in the development of the church’s Memorial Cemetery was Louis Sachs of Sachs Properties. That’s the view of Ron Moore, 65, of Ballwin, who chaired the church Cemetery Preservation Committee when Sachs bought the half-acre plot where the church stood in 1994. Sachs was always a supporter of the church, Moore said. The church provided Sachs with plans for improvements to the cemetery, including a wrought iron fence and meditation area with benches. Sachs purchased the property and made the improvements. The proceeds from the sale of the church and surrounding land went toward the down payment for the Wild Horse Creek Road property. Sachs still owns the land, but currently has no plans for it, said Jenny Bryan, office manager for Sachs Properties. Moore, who has been a member of the church for 34 years, said the cemetery provides an important legacy in an area where a large number of slaves and former slaves once lived. “Let’s remember who was here,” said Moore. “Let’s remember where it all started.”

Three reasons to buy that new home now Kevin Weaks

1. Prices will continue to rise The bottom in home prices has passed. Standard & Poor’s recently upgraded its 2013 forecast for the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index to an 11 percent yearover-year increase from its original 8 percent projection. The Home Price Expectation Survey projects a 22.3 percent appreciation in home values over the next five years. Waiting no longer makes sense. 2. Mortgage interest rates are increasing An increase in rates will impact your monthly mortgage payment. Mortgage rates remain low by historical standards. But the sudden jump in rates could make home buying more expensive with each passing week. Whether you are moving up or moving down, your housing expense will be more a year from now if a mortgage is necessary to purchase your next home. 3. Is it really worth waiting? “For more than two centuries the home has been the best investment option,” explained Bill Jones Jr., of Meramec Valley Bank. “We had a crash that affected us all but the economy continues to gradually increase little by little. Now is a great time to make an investment in a home, rates are low and prices are increasing. Treat your family now and make that great investment while the conditions are favorable.” Here’s what’s new in new homes: Closeout price before next phase at Mill Crossing Condominiums In preparation for the release of the awaited next phase at Mill Crossing Condominiums in Creve Coeur, Bridgewater Communities Inc. is closing out its current offerings with one remaining move-in ready condominium.

Meanwhile, pre-construction pricing is being offered on units in the new building under way. Mill Crossing is conveniently located just off Olive Boulevard and near the new Hwy. 141 extension.

Single-family homes will be offered on 38 of the sites, and another 80 have been designated for the builder’s newly designed collection of detached Carefree Living plans. Community sales manager Erin Worsley noted that “a huge number of people have already registered for our interest list, and they’ve been amazed by the price point, which starts from just the $150’s.” Single-family home buyers will have the choice of 10 plans from Payne’s popular Vision Series, an innovative portfolio of customer-designed ranch and two-story plans that range in size from 1,302 to 2,630 square feet. Some homesites in this section back to trees, and all can accommodate an optional three-car garage, depending on the home design selected. Construction of the Vision Series display – a 2,189-square-foot “Hemingway” two-story with four bedrooms and a standard loft – is scheduled to begin shortly The model will be shown with a three-car garage. Virtually assuring the success of these free-standing, low-maintenance homes, the 80-site section adjoins the 18-hole, par-71 course, and some yards overlook the fairways. Located just south of I-70, west of Hwy. Z, The Golf Club of Wentzville offers residents easy commuter access, and the city’s commercial hub on Wentzville Parkway is less than a 10-minute drive from the community entrance. All Payne Family Home owners will be able to enjoy the club’s pool complex, and golf club memberships are available. For information visit PayneFamilyHomes.com or call (314) 807-5499.

Six major medical organizations are recommending that everyone older than 70 be screened for frailty, which they say can be easily treated.

News and notes The 15-second, life-saving screen Representatives from six major medical organizations are recommending that everyone older than 70 be screened for frailty, which they describe as a potentially fatal but easily treated condition. The recommendation appears in an article published in the June edition of JAMDA, the official journal of AMDA, the professional association of medical directors, attending physicians and others practicing in long-term care. “Frailty is extraordinarily common, affecting between 5 and 10 percent of those who are older than 70,” John Morley, M.D., director of the division of geriatric medicine at Saint Louis University and lead author of the article, said in a university news release. “Over a period of time, frailty leads to increased death rates, poor function and increased hospitalizations. It’s treatable, and we’re asking doctors to spend 15 seconds to conduct a screening that could prevent bad outcomes.” The recommended screening utilizes the

FRAIL tool, which poses five questions: • Fatigue: Are you fatigued? • Resistance: Do you have difficulty walking up one flight of steps • Aerobic: Are you unable to walk at least one block? • Illness: Do you have more than five illnesses? • Loss of weight: Have you lost more than 5 percent of your weight in the past six months? Those who respond affirmativ ly to at least three of those questions likely are frail and should be treated by a doctor, because those who are frail could become disabled or even die from a health problem such as the flu or a hip fracture. Authors of the article agreed that often, frailty can be remedied with aerobic and resistance exercise, protein and caloric supplements, vitamin D and a reduction in medications. “Both primary care doctors and specialists need to screen for frailty,” Morley said. “With the aging of our population, we cannot wait and must implement the

Task Force recommends hepatitis C screening for baby boomers The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force last month released its final recommendation on screening for hepatitis C virus infection in adults. Based on the latest evidence, the Task Force recommends hepatitis C screening for all adults born between 1945 and 1965, as well as for people at risk of infection, including those who use or have used injection drugs and those who

received a blood transfusion before 1992. Baby boomers and those without ongoing risk factors only need to be screened once, according to the Task Force, with the exception of those who continue to use injection drugs, who should have regular hepatitis C screenings. “Millions of people in the U.S. are infected with hepatitis C, and many are unaware of their condition, in large part because they may not have any symptoms,” Task Force member Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, M.D., said in a June 25 news release. “Hepatitis C infection is a leading cause of liver damage, liver cancer and liver transplants in the U.S. Screening for hepatitis C can help people who are infected live longer, healthier lives.” Safe, effective treatments for hepatitis C are available, but not everyone with the infection will need to be treated. “Baby boomers account for three out of four people with hepatitis C,” Albert Siu, M.D., Task Force co-chair said. “Many people in this age group contracted hepatitis C from a blood transfusion or unknown or unreported high-risk behaviors. Even though they may have no symptoms yet, the evidence is convincing that one-time screening will help find millions of Americans with the infection before they develop a serious liver disease.”
