THOMAS SOWELL

Reality versus mirages in Egypt

Nothing symbolizes the Utopianism of our times like both liberals and some conservatives calling for us to cut off aid to the Egyptian military because of the widespread killings in what is becoming a civil war in Egypt. Such utter lack of realism from the left is not new, but hearing some conservatives saying the same things takes some getting used to. President Obama’s call for the Egyptians to end the violence and form an “inclusive” government, with all factions represented, may sound good to many Americans. But there is not a snowball’s chance in hell that it will happen. Egypt existed for thousands of years before there was a United States of America. In all those millennia, Egypt has never had a free or democratic society. Nor is Egypt unique in that. Of all the different nations that have existed at various times and places throughout recorded history, it is doubtful that even 10 percent were free or democratic. Even free and democratic nations existing today took centuries to achieve freedom and democracy. Obama may have enough ego to imagine that he could accomplish, during his White House years, what took centuries to accomplish elsewhere. But do others, including some conservatives, need to share that delusion? Yet Obama is only the latest in a long line of American officials, including presidents, who have thought that a universal human desire for freedom meant that freedom and democracy could be exported, even to countries where they have never existed before. However widespread the desire to be free, that is wholly different from a desire to live in a society where others are free. Nowhere is such tolerance harder to find than in the Middle East. Has no one noticed the ongoing lethal violence between different sects of Muslims in the Middle East, or their intolerance toward Christians and murderous hatred of Jews? Muslims in some other parts of the world have been more tolerant, and there have been five female heads of state in Muslim countries. But not in the Middle East. Much is made of the fact that the United States gives financial support to the Egyptian military that is shooting down hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of Egyptians in the streets. But we have to make our choices among the options actually available. With

the Muslim Brotherhood mounting armed attacks, what can anyone rationally expect, except shooting on both sides? It would certainly be a lot nicer if everyone laid down their guns and just sat down together and worked things out peacefully. But has anyone forgotten that, for centuries, Protestants and Catholics slaughtered each other and tried to wipe each other out? Only after the impossibility of achieving that goal became clear did they finally give it up and decide to live and let live. As regards Egypt, it is not at all clear that any regime that has existed after Mubarak, or that is currently on the horizon, is better than Mubarak was. But the very idea of leaving well enough alone is foreign to those who are looking for moral melodramas and soaring rhetoric, such as talk about “the Arab spring.” What did we get for our money in Egypt under Mubarak? We got peace in a part of the world where peace cannot be taken for granted – and a part of the world from which oil provides the economic lifeblood of Western civilization. But we could not leave well enough alone. Now we are paying the price – and perhaps it is only the first installment of the price. The idea that, when a government we find unsatisfactory is overthrown, we can expect a better government to follow, goes back at least as far as President Woodrow Wilson. His intervention in the World War I – a war “to make the world safe for democracy” – turned out to be a war whose actual end results replaced old monarchies with new, and far worse, totalitarian governments. Obama’s Middle East interventions have replaced stable and neutral despots in Egypt and Libya with anti-Western despots and chaos. Such is the price of pursuing ideological mirages. After contributing to the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood to power, and the disastrous aftermath of that, the Obama administration is now publicly lecturing Egyptian leaders, and trying to micromanage them from thousands of miles away. And some conservatives are joining the Quixotic chorus, playing with fire.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Workers’ compensation in Monarch To the Editor: Claims that workers’ compensation costs are unacceptably high in the Monarch Fire Protection District, as asserted by newly elected Board Secretary Jane Cunningham in a Letter to the Editor (West Newsmagazine, June 26), are misleading in the context that Ms. Cunningham presented. Soon after taking office in mid-2011, I was alarmed to see the upward trend of workers’ compensation costs arising since 2005, so I proposed, and the Board approved, a “light-duty work program” and also engaged experts to counsel our employees on their diet and workout habits. These wellness initiatives have been embraced by our firefighters and paramedics, generating positive results in helping to promote personal wellness and reduce instances of illness in efforts to control health care costs. In addition, the light-duty work program has enabled injured firefighters to enter rehabilitation sooner and return to work quicker, which is another positive development. In fact, and as reported by MoFAD (Missouri Fire and Ambulance Districts’ Insurance Trust), I am pleased to report that workers’ compensation claims in the Monarch Fire Protection District have significantly decreased since 2010 – from 49 total claims costing $1,148,087 in 2010 to 43 total claims costing $417,749 in 2012, resulting in reductions in total costs totaling $730,338 – a reduction of more than 63 percent. The positive activities that I initiated to address the growing workers’ compensation costs that I inherited when I became a Board officer are working and working well. At our open Board meeting on May 23, Mr. Wicker, of the Daniel and Henry insurance agency, in his report to the Board on the state of workers’ compensation, stated: “... Good news … everything that’s been done since 2012 is starting to make an impact … I think you’re going in the right direction now.” (Open Board minutes May 3, 2013, pp. 29-32) Moreover, as of May 15, Monarch’s total workers’ compensation premium costs declined by more than 15 percent compared to those in 2012 while, at many other fire protection districts in greater St. Louis, premium costs skyrocketed. In another local fire protection district, for example, total workers’ compensation premium costs increased by more than 67 percent in the comparable period for 2012 and May 2013. (Source: MoFAD data for 2012-2013) Ms. Cunningham’s assertion that our

redlining and discriminating against a buyer based on race. But this proposal leads me to fear that if adopted it may well lead to the government enforcing rules that dictate to whom a homeowner may sell based on race. Think the foregoing is out of the question? Consider the case of Brown v. Board of Education, 357 U.S. 483 (1954). There, Linda Brown, a black child, was bused beyond her neighborhood school and forced to attend an all-black school. (That is de jure segregation – segregation by government directive.) This was wrong! The Supreme Court ordered that she be allowed to attend her neighborhood school. Good decision! But then the social engineers determined that de facto segregation, which is racial segregation that occurred due to housing patterns that had no forced racial separation, was not in the interest of society. Racial balancing of the classroom became the new goal. This stood the Brown decision on its head. So while the proposed rule states that it “does not mandate specific outcomes for the planning process” based on past history, i.e. Brown v. Board of Education, I have my doubts. This proposal should be scrapped post haste. Those wishing to read the entire HUD Fairness or despotism proposal may do so by going to: federalregister.gov/articles/2013/07/19/2013-16751/ To the Editor: I would like to share my concern regard- affirmatively-furthering-fair-housing.

After 1.5 years firefighters “are not overworked with 9-10 days of on-duty time per month” is misleading because she fails to mention that each is a 24-hour day and that each firefighter is on duty from 216 to 240 hours every month and responds to calls for help at all hours of day and night. The firefighters and paramedics who capably and very bravely serve our residents, businesses and property owners in the Monarch Fire Protection District are aware of assertions, misleading or otherwise, that workers’ compensation and health care costs are a major budget item in our district and also in every other fire protection district across America. I am confident that the firefighters and paramedics of Monarch are working to keep health care and workers’ compensation claims down as best they can in the course of performing their essential role to save lives and property in our community, often at the risk of their own lives. As today’s MoFAD data shows, they are doing so with success. Steve Swyers Treasurer Monarch Fire Protection District

without any activity on Great Streets, I took it upon myself to blow the dust off our Intergovernmental Agreement and assembled the committee that brought us to where we are today. I simply volunteer to facilitate meetings, act as a contact for outside groups and hold together this group through difficult times. Had I not, we certainly would not have received a $5 million commitment from MoDOT for Great Street enhancements scheduled for next year. I grew up in the area. I remember how great it was. Our five cities must remain committed to the businesses, their citizenry and the region. There is no place at the table for Ballwin’s and Wildwood’s politics. For the past five years, we have been working to create an unbiased non-political body to oversee the Great Streets Initiative through its completion. I would like to continue that work and ask the citizens to get on board. We can make Manchester a great street and attract businesses, residents and shoppers back to our cities. To me, success at this endeavor is a win-win for all of us. Matt Pirrello Ellisville

No solution To the Editor: When I saw the headline on Thomas Sowell’s recent commentary (“Are we serious about education,” West Newsmagazine, Aug. 21), I thought: “This should be interesting. He’s going to address a real social problem.” Then I read the commentary. Typical Republican blather: long on criticism, short on solutions. Steven Kushner Chesterfield CORRECTIONS: In the article “Post office named for fallen Marine” (West Newsmagazine, July 31), it was implied that Bren Pathenos was Marine Lance Corp. Matthew P. Pathenos’ biological mother. However, West Newsmagazine has been contacted by Matthew’s sister Courtney Kohne, who indicated that Matthew is the son of Paula Erney and that Bren (Brenda) Pathenos is Matthew’s stepmother. In the article “Chesterfield residents recognized for saving child from drowning” (West Newsmagazine, Aug. 7), Sydney Gebhardt’s name was misspelled as Gephardt. She also was listed as a resident of Chesterfield, however, she resides in Wildwood. West Newsmagazine regrets these errors.

The sporting life It has been said that the first step in recovering from an addiction problem is to admit that the problem exists. Professional sports: You have a problem, and it is not apparent that you fully recognize that as of yet. Major League Baseball recently suspended 13 players for violating the league’s drug policy. Eleven of those were fairly straightforward and included 50 game suspensions for each, with no appeal. Ryan Braun, last year’s National League MVP, negotiated a 64-game suspension that represents the balance of the 2013 season. This punishment was particularly

Modern adults have lost that somewhere along the way. convenient as his team is out of contention and this is the lowest-paying season left on his massive contract by a good margin. Braun had won an appeal of a previous suspension, and followed that up by doing his best Lance Armstrong impression and throwing stones at everyone he possibly could. Alex Rodriguez was given a 211 game suspension, which represents the balance of this season and next. A-Rod, however, is appealing and as of presstime was still an active major leaguer. Rodriguez, who has previously confessed to using performing enhancing drugs, was allegedly actively recruiting other players to his drug supplier and interfering with

MLB’s investigation. In the National Football League, our hometown St. Louis Rams will be without tailback Isaiah Pead and linebacker Jo-Lon Dunbar to start the season, both for violating the league’s drug policy. Pead will miss one game and Dunbar will miss four. Since 2010, the NFL has suspended more than 50 players as a result of failed PED tests, and the league does not have a test for human growth hormone yet. The statistics on PED usage are mind boggling, but the most perplexing part of the drug problem in pro sports is not the usage. The most perplexing part is that we, the fans, are no longer in the least bit outraged by cheating in sports. The 11 “standard” drug suspensions handed down by MLB and cause no alarm. Nobody is angry at those players. People are a little bit angry at Ryan Braun because he lied and people are kind of angry at A-Rod because, well, because he’s A-Rod. When we were kids playing pickup games of basketball, baseball or football, the absolute worst thing you could accuse a fellow player of was cheating. Children have an innate sense of fairness. Modern adults have lost that somewhere along the way. Modern adults paid their money to buy their tickets and want to be entertained, fairness be damned. We kind of hope things are on the up and up, but every time they prove otherwise, we whimper instead of roar. For some reason, we have become jaded and numb. We have lost that childlike sense of right and wrong, fair and unfair. We still cheer for the cheaters, and in doing so we are cheating ourselves. Professional sports fans: We have a problem.

News Br iefs BALLWIN Ferris Park improvements A contract for the first phase of improvements at Ferris Park has been awarded to Ideal Landscape Group, the lowest of five bidders on the project. Included in the first phase are grading, installation of rock walls and play equipment, concrete paths, a water play feature, landscaping and work on a pavilion. Ideal’s bid of $247,369 was more than the $241,922 remaining from the $398,500 budgeted for the park’s re-development this year. Linda Bruer, Ballwin’s director of parks and recreation, recommended the difference be paid from the department’s contingency account. The Ballwin Board in May approved the purchase of playground equipment for the park in the amount of $156,578. Construction work expected to begin in September at the park marks a milestone in the project, which began a year ago when the city selected a landscape design firm to develop a master plan for the park and held public meetings to receive citizen input. The 12-acre park is east of New Ballwin Road about 1.5 miles south of Manchester Road. Additional park improvements included in the master plan are expected in future years.

Advertising OK on water tanks The city of Ballwin has decided it’s OK for Missouri American Water to display its name on water tanks. At its Aug. 19 meeting, the Board of Aldermen voted unanimously to approve an ordinance exempting from the city’s regulations “a sign erected on a water tank by a water service utility regulated by the Missouri Public Service Commission (PSC) when such a sign is displayed for identification purposes.” Previously the Board had asked its legal counsel, Robert Jones, to draft an ordinance with as narrow an exemption as possible so as not to create other problems later. In presenting the measure, Jones noted there are only four water companies regulated by the PSC and only one operates in Ballwin.

Decision reversal The Ballwin Board of Aldermen has reversed a recent decision awarding a contract for towing services to a company now the subject of a investigation by the U.S. Postal Inspector’s office. The contract was awarded June 17 to D&L Towing. Two days later, federal officials and St. Charles police executed a search warrant at the company’s headquarters in St. Charles. No arrests in the case have been announced, however.

In taking the action, the Board rescinded the earlier contract and authorized city officials to pursue an agreement with McNamara Towing & Transport in Ladue.

Continued police partnership The city of Ballwin will continue its participation in a multi-jurisdictional drug task force organized by St. Louis County. An ordinance authorizing Ballwin’s involvement was approved by the Board of Aldermen at its Aug. 19 meeting and will be in effect for a year beginning Oct. 1. According to Ballwin Police Chief Steven Schicker, Ballwin has been part of the task force for some 20 years. Under the agreement, Ballwin assigns one detective to the unit and is responsible for that person’s salary, overtime and benefits, including those related to injury or death. The detective is subject to St. Louis County Police rules and regulations. Schicker told the Board the city’s participation is a worthwhile and proven investment because Ballwin benefits from task force efforts that would require a number of additional detectives if Ballwin had to rely only on its own resources. In addition, the city receives a pro rata share of assets seized from persons found to be involved in criminal activities.

Shooting range gets green light The Ballwin Board of Aldermen has given a green light for the building of a shooting range at 14803 Manchester Road on the east side of the Seven Trails Drive intersection. The Board on Aug. 19 unanimously endorsed revised plans for the business, following its decision in June approving a special use exception in the city’s C-1 commercial zoning areas for a shooting range. Specific plans for an operation at the Manchester-Seven Trails location had to receive variances from the city’s Board of Adjustment and a final OK from the planning-zoning body before submitting the project to the Board of Aldermen for approval. Since the original proposal was submitted in June, John Henderson, the petitioner, made major alterations to the building plans to accommodate changes the commission wanted. The structure’s 20 shooting lanes now will be completely underground, which should address any remaining safety or noise issues, Henderson told the commission at its Aug. 5 meeting. Also included in the building will be two classrooms, a retail area and offices. The range will be located behind the U-Gas convenience store and Wendy’s Restaurant. There were no objections to the shooting range at either the Board’s June or August

Walmart conditional use permit extension denied

Vacant property along Manchester Road in Ellisville, which is earmaked for future development by Walmart and as the proposed future site of the city’s town center (West Newsmagazine photo)

By DAN FOX dfox@newsmagazinenetwork.com Walmart’s long march to place a store in the city of Ellisville has just turned into a race, and the company has less than two weeks to finish. The vote to extend Walmart’s conditional use permit failed in a 3-3 split at the Aug. 21 City Council meeting, with Councilmembers Linda Reel (District 2), Mick Cahill (District 2) and Mayor Adam Paul voting against the proposal. Councilmember Gary Voss (District 1) was absent from the meeting. As a result of the Council’s action, the international retailer must obtain a building permit and begin construction before the

original CUP expires on Sept. 5. If that deadline is not met, Walmart will need to file for another CUP, something Mayor Adam Paul said he thinks the Council is unlikely to grant. “Based on the vote last night, I don’t believe that if they did re-apply for a conditional use permit that they would obtain one,” Paul said. However, Walmart representatives said the requirements spelled out in the original CUP could still be completed before Sept. 5. Christine Bushyhead, an attorney representing Walmart, said that only two more permits need to be acquired before obtaining the building permit and beginning construction. She said these applications, one

from MoDOT and the other from the Metropolitan Sewer District, are on their second and third rounds of review, respectively. “They actually have a letter on file that we gave to the Council tonight that said that we aren’t approved yet, but that we are moving in the right direction and they aren’t seeing any issues,” Bushyhead said. Chris Neeley, Walmart’s director of public affairs, said the request for an extension of the CUP was merely for breathing room. “Right now we still have a CUP. We still have all of our team in place moving forward, and that’s what we’re going to continue to do,” Neeley said. “Tonight was merely about trying to get an extension due to some of the other circumstances, but it’s not going to stop the progress that we’re making right now.” One of these circumstances is the lawsuit filed by Ellisville resident Thomas DeBold. If the lawsuit, which seeks to reverse the original CUP, fails at the appellate level, it could be argued at the Missouri Supreme Court, according to Jane Dueker, DeBold’s attorney. However, Dueker said that if Walmart fails to meet the deadline, the presiding judge could dismiss the case against the original CUP. “Absent an extension, the permit will expire no matter what the court of appeals does,” she said. “By Sept. 5 the case will be moot.” Neeley did not say what Walmart would do if the deadline could not be met.

Matt Pirrello asked to step down from ‘Great Streets’ Request reveals confusion over who is, should be representing Ellisville By JIM ERICKSON ericksonjim@att.net The mayors of two West County communities have stated they believe a third community should have a different representative on the Great Streets Initiative steering committee. That decision came at the group’s Aug. 19 meeting and found Ballwin Mayor Tim Pogue and Wildwood Mayor Tim Woerther voting affirmatively on a motion that, in effect, said Ellisville City Councilmember Matt Pirrello (District 1) no longer should represent Ellisville on the committee. Pogue announced the development at Ballwin’s Board of Aldermen meeting later the same day, adding that none of the other steering committee members attending opposed the motion although he and Woerther were the only two voting on it. The issue of Pirrello’s involvement in GSI was raised indirectly by Ballwin aldermen last month when the Board approved a resolution authorizing the city to join in a contract with a branding and marketing firm for GSI. Ballwin Alderman Shamed Dogan (Ward

2) questioned whether Ellisville’s recent publicity on failed efforts by city leaders to oust Mayor Adam Paul from office would place a cloud over any attempt to create a positive brand for the three-city GSI area. Similarly, Alderman Frank Fleming (Ward 3) suggested it might be time for “someone” to withdraw as the most prominent face of the GSI effort. Although Fleming didn’t mention anyone by name and declined to do so later, Pirrello has been a highly visible champion of GSI. He also was in the forefront of the effort to remove Paul. In a puzzling twist, Pogue told Ballwin aldermen that Pirrello said at the steering committee meeting that he no longer represented Ellisville on GSI and that Councilmember Linda Reel (District 2) was in that position. Pogue said Paul, whom he called after the GSI meeting, expressed surprise at Pirrello’s statement about not being Ellisville’s representative. In a later email and phone conversation,

Paul confirmed his surprise, also recalling that the Ellisville Council had named Pirrello and Reel as the city’s GSI representative and alternate, respectively, in April 2012 during a work session minutes before Paul was sworn into office. Paul said the move was upsetting because he viewed it as an effort to prevent him from joining the Ballwin and Wildwood mayors and serving as Ellisville’s representative on GSI. “To undo this action would require a new motion and affirmative vote of the Council,” he said, noting that this step hadn’t occurred. However, Pirrello said his role with GSI ever since Paul was sworn in as mayor has been that of a meeting facilitator and supporter of the effort, not the city’s representative on the program’s steering committee. In a telephone interview, Pirrello asserted the GSI memorandum of understanding, that Ellisville, Wildwood and Ballwin have endorsed, calls for the mayor of each comSee GREAT STREETS, page 15

Ellisville selects city attorney By DAN FOX dfox@newsmagazinenetwork.com After cooling down for over a month, the Ellisville city attorney seat has a new law firm to warm it. In a special session on Aug. 19, the City Council unanimously voted to execute a contract with RestovichAllen LLC. George Restovich, the lawyer from RestovichAllen who will primarily perform the city attorney duties, said he is nervous, but eager for the opportunity. “It’s an excited nervous,” Restovich said. “Compare it to the nerves you feel before a big game or sporting event. It means you’re ready, it means you’re excited, it means you need to step up.” Ellisville Mayor Adam Paul said he is excited to have the city attorney position filled and feels Restovich is the type of legal representation that Ellisville currently needs. According to Paul, since Restovich has never served in municipal law before, he will be able to take the position without any conflicts of interest. “There are no connections to anybody,” Paul said. “That’s exactly what we need, someone who’s not going to sit on his hands. With the Walmart situation coming up he’s going to have a lot of work cut out for him.” Before voting, the Council made several amendments to the law firm’s contract. According to Paul these were minor administrative changes. One change that the Council requested was the ability to revisit the firm’s payment after several months. In previous meetings, councilmembers had voiced concerns that the costs of an hourly pay rate for RestovichAllen’s lawyers, paralegals and assistants could become too expensive. The Council and Restovich agreed to change the contract, allowing the councilmembers to review the law firm’s fees in six months. “We have a lot on the agenda moving forward,” Pirrello said. “It’s just an opportunity to get a more accurate reflection of what the average would be.” The Council also changed the contract from an automatically renewing contract to one where at least four councilmembers would have to vote to keep Restovich as city attorney.

‘Overpayments’ by Rockwood School District deemed unrecoverable By MARY SHAPIRO mshapiro@newsmagazinenetwork.com An attorney for the Rockwood School District has advised the Board of Education that, despite a state audit’s recommendation that the district seek what it called overpayments, about $1.2 million in program management fees can’t be recovered. Kenneth Brostron, an attorney for the district’s legal firm Lashly & Baer P.C., presented a report to the Board of Education on Aug. 15 regarding its analysis of the situation based on opinions by D. Lynn Whitt, whom Brostron called an independent program management expert hired by his firm on behalf of the district. Based on the legal analysis and Whitt’s opinions, Brostron advised the Board that there’s no legal basis for the district to compel repayment from Glenn Construction Company of any payments made by Rockwood in connection with the district’s 2010 bond issue. However, that seems to contradict a finding made by the state audit of the district earlier this year. Among findings of the original audit, reported in February of this year, were assertions that the district overpaid Glenn, its bond issue program management firm, by $1.2 million over the last four bond issues. Glenn oversaw construction and renovation projects funded by bond issues in 2003, 2006, 2008 and 2010. Glenn had been paid additional fees of more than $1.2 million for managing added projects and change orders for projects not itemized in the original scope of the contract, which State Auditor Tom Schweich said appeared to be overpayments. Schweich recommended all services and fees paid must be clearly documented in a contract and that the district should try to collect any overpayment of fees. However, Whitt said that when bond issue projects were completed under budget and the full amount of the bond proceeds designated for the original projects weren’t used, additional projects were performed with the remaining bond proceeds and Glenn was paid an additional fee for management of these new projects from the remaining bond monies. The state audit had said that, because these remaining bond monies were already included in the calculation of the original fee paid to Glenn and since there was no written basis for the fees paid to manage the extra projects, those additional fees appeared to represent overpayments. In March, Brostron had told the Board that all change orders and payments for the 2010 bond issue were approved by the Board. Also, a five-year state statute of limitations meant that any payments to Glenn made prior to August of 2008, even if

unauthorized, wouldn’t be recoverable, Brostron said, which is why Whitt limited his examination to the 2010 bond issue. Whitt examined whether the additional payments to Glenn were for work that was already included in the original scope of work that justified the initial management fee. He concluded that the additional payments were based on work for additional projects outside the original scope of work identified in the program management contract. But he also said the Board authorized additional projects based on the language of the contract that had authorized change orders, and that the Board approved those change orders. As a result, he concluded the payments can’t be established as overpayments unauthorized by the contract. “There is no viable legal basis to proceed with compelling repayment from Glenn for the payments made in connection with the 2010 bond issue,” Brostron said. He said he was aware that the audit questioned the appropriateness of making significant changes to the scope of work via use of change orders, which were outside the scope of the original bond issue proposal. And he noted that the district has upgraded its procedures for change orders and the Board’s approval of them to more closely regulate their use. Whitt said Glenn’s use of change orders “gave the district flexibility, to take advantage of good bids in the competitive construction market at that time, which was a severe economic downturn for the construction industry.” “More projects were taken off Rockwood’s needs list,” he said, nothing that district staff had vetted the changes in project scope. “This isn’t overbilling by a program manager, in my opinion,” Whitt told the Board. “Sometimes, large change orders are needed to be more cost effective in getting work done at competitive prices. The work was done and bond issue funds were fully used.” Bill Brown, president of the Board of Education, said he hoped the report “would put all this to rest.” “The situation is what it is,” he said. “If we’d been able to recover money, that would be nice. Since we can’t, it’s time to look forward to the future of Rockwood. We’ve done everything the auditor asked us to do in this regard and then some.” But Eileen Tyrrell, co-founder of the Rockwood Stakeholders for Real Solutions residents’ watchdog group that requested the audit, was dissatisfied with the finding. “You either believe Tom Schweich whose job it is to look out for taxpayer funds, or you believe the hired lawyers from the school district,” she said.

Honored for their life-saving actions by the Monarch Fire Protection District are (from left) Matthew Grewe, Tobi Keane, Matt Rayckovan, Susan Kammerzell, Stacey Grube, Dr. Toni Patterson and Alex Roehrig. Also honored was Lorrie Rugge who was unable to attend the ceremony.

Monarch FPD honors local lifesavers By JIM ERICKSON ericksonjim@att.net The Monarch Fire Protection District on Aug. 15 honored eight people whose actions in emergency situations helped save lives. Receiving awards and recognition at the Board of Directors meeting were: • Alex Roehrig, 13, of Chesterfield, who came to the aid of his 9-year-old sister last April when he saw she was choking on a piece of hard candy. He dialed 911 and then performed abdominal thrusts (the Heimlich maneuver) on her, easing her breathing problem. When the EMS crew arrived, the girl did not appear to be in any respiratory distress, which paramedics attributed to Roehrig’s quick action. • Matthew Grewe, a St. Louis County police officer, who was dispatched last May to help a 60-year-old delivery driver who was trapped and being crushed by heavy steel fencing that fell on him while he was unloading it in Wildwood.

The four went to the man’s aid, found him to be without a pulse and began CPR on him. When the Monarch EMS arrived, they were able to shock the man once to regain a pulse. He began breathing on his own on the way to the hospital where he was treated and later released. • Matt Rayckovan, a FedEx driver, and Tobi Keane, of Chesterfield, who saw a 78-year-old woman fall in her apartment’s parking lot last May. She was carrying a glass tray that broke when it hit the ground and suffered a cut in her carotid artery when she fell on the shards. Rayckovan went to the victim and applied pressure on the wound to slow the heavy bleeding. Keane, a neighbor of the injured woman, called 911 and retrieved more towels to stanch the blood flow until paramedics arrived.

Ballwin adopts greater transparency By JIM ERICKSON ericksonjim@att.net The city of Ballwin will make more of its financial information available online to anyone who wants it but at least for now won’t go the same route as the Mehlville and Monarch fire protection districts in adopting the United for Missouri (UFM) transparency portal. On an 8-0 vote, Ballwin’s Board of Aldermen approved the posting of the city’s monthly check register on its website, adding that data to the city’s annual financial report and budget that already are online. That decision came after lengthy discussion at this and a July meeting about what additional financial information can and should be made available and at what cost. Alderman Mark Harder (Ward 2) raised the issue at last month’s session and at the Board’s Aug. 19 meeting, suggesting that a searchable database of financial transactions, such as the one offered free of charge by UFM, was the way to go. The Mehlville district already is using UFM transparency portal and the Monarch Board recently voted to do so as well. Posting the city’s monthly check register won’t yield a searchable database, Harder noted, adding that Ballwin should “lead the charge as a municipality” in financial transparency. Adding her support for the UFM portal was Monarch Board member Jane Cunningham, who said she expects being able to look up Monarch financial information will help her as a director, in addition to making more data

available to residents. Walt Young, former Ballwin mayor, also supported the transparency move, noting that it would be less likely that candidates could raise misleading financial issues during election campaigns. Responding to a Board request at the July meeting for more research on transparency pros, cons and trends, Denise Keller, Ballwin’s finance officer, submitted on Aug. 19 a memo with her findings. Among other things, she observed that the city’s recently implemented accounting software package could provide the website with check register details listing the name of each recipient, date and payment amount. She noted that including descriptions of expenditures would require more staff time on a daily basis, both to add that information to paper invoices and to key those details into the computer system. Adding a search function to the software also would mean hiring an outside vendor. Keller said a Texas comptrollers organization has recommended that local governments can and should achieve a high level of online financial transparency by posting their annual financial report, budget and check register. Posting the check register in addition to the other two documents already available on the Ballwin website “would be a way to meet everyone’s objectives” and “would only minimally increase staff workload,” Keller said. The goal will be to start the check register posting on the city’s website as soon as possible after the close of September business. The information should be available by Oct. 3 with each subsequent month’s information posted early in the following month.

When St. Louis Premium Outlets opened in Chesterfield Valley on Aug. 22, Chesterfield Mayor Bob Nation praised the new outlet mall for the “very significant” economic boon he expects it to bring to the region. Then he smiled as he reminded the crowd that “there’s only 125 shopping days until Christmas.” But Christmas came early for two local charities when the owners of the new center presented two $10,000 checks – one to the West County YMCA and one to Wings of Hope, which expressed its gratitude with a flyover of a St. Louis Premium Outlets banner. The holidays also were on the mind of Darlene Pohl, of South County, who said she was at the opening shopping for “good deals and Christmas.” Jamie Sprenger, of Chesterfield, was on a mission to find a different kind of gift – a birthday present for her daughter. “I hit Vera Bradley, because she’s obsessed with anything Vera and tomorrow is her birthday,” said Sprenger.

Chesterfield considers banning commercial vehicles in residential neighborhoods By SARAH WILSON swilson@newsmagazinenetwork.com The Chesterfield City Council is considering an ordinance that would ban large commercial vehicles in residential neighborhoods because, as the ordinance states, they “negatively impact neighborhood character.” The ordinance would define the types of motor vehicles regulated, create regulations for the parking of certain motor vehicles in residential areas and provide illustrations to clarify the regulations. “Certain motor vehicles” includes construction vehicles and equipment such as backhoes, bulldozers and front-end loaders, as well as tow trucks and dump trucks, box trucks, buses, ice cream trucks, flat-bed

West County EMS seeks Board member By JIM ERICKSON ericksonjim@att.net In the wake of a resignation by one of its directors, the West County EMS and Fire Protection District Board has announced how it will fill that vacancy. In a letter made public earlier this month, Board member Matt Miller said he was resigning to more fully concentrate on the responsibilities of his new job as principal of Wren Hollow Elementary School in the Parkway School District. The West County Board officially accepted Miller’s resignation at its Aug. 19 meeting and said it will accept applications from qualified district residents interested in completing Miller’s unexpired term. Applications from those at least 25 years of age who meet registered voter and residency requirements will be accepted until 3 p.m., Sept. 5. Based on the number of applications received, an interview schedule will be set and the Board will announce its decision after evaluating the interviews and applicant information. Miller’s six-year term ends in April 2015. Anyone appointed to complete that term would be eligible to seek the position in the election scheduled then. In an interview after submitting his resignation, Miller said it has been “an honor to work with the men and women who wake up every morning ready to save the property and lives of residents in the district.” “I also appreciate the trust district residents have shown by electing me to the Board,” he said. Miller’s resignation also means he no longer will serve on the Central County Emergency (CCE) 911 Board. Robert Levine from the West County Board now will represent the district on the CCE 911 Board.

trucks, step vans, vehicles modified for advertising or business identification purposes, and agricultural, lawn or landscaping vehicles, such as lawn tractors and mowing equipment. The ordinance also includes the banning of tractors and tractor-trailers. The only exceptions would be for temporarily parked vehicles for workers who are providing products or services to the owner of the property, doing construction work, or for emergency vehicles on call, including utility vehicles during repair work. The Council on Aug. 19 approved the

first reading of the bill with a vote of 6-1. Councilmember Derek Grier (Ward 2) was the sole person opposed to the bill. “Thus far, I have not heard any compelling evidence that there is a significant problem in the city related to parking vehicles to merit additional ordinances or additional laws,” Grier said. He said he is a “firm believer in making government as local as possible” and there are many residential community associations in Chesterfield that have the ability to set their own individual standards.

However, resident Al Strobing, who was in favor of the ordinance, said some of these commercial vehicles “do not belong in residential areas.” “The ordinance has to apply evenly throughout the city, not block by block,” Strobing said. Carol Kenney, another Chesterfield resident who is on the Board of the River Bend Association, also supported the ordinance. She said she is “surprised and disappointed that we even need this bill, but I guess we do.” The final vote is expected on Sept. 9.

Local watercolor artist among 130 Art Fair at Queeny Park exhibitors Watercolor artist Robert McClelland, 82 and a resident of Grover, is a juried member of the GSLAA and has exhibited at numerous Queeny Park shows where he has garnered many awards for his work, including Best of Show. A modest man, McClelland keeps a sense of humor about his awards. “I am pleased and humbled by the attention that my art has received both nationally as well as locally,” he said, noting that he is most proud of his selection to the annual Watercolor U.S.A exhibit in Springfield, Mo., – a show he compared to “swimming with the sharks.” McClelland, who often has been compared to Norman Rockwell, paints people and children in what he calls “their moment of holy innocence.” “I feel that pictures need to tell a story, and for that reason, the titling of each painting is Grover resident Bob McClelland with his latest painting, “Agape.” McClelland will be important to me,” said McClelland, whose among the artists exhibiting at the Greater St. painting titles include, “Mothers” (on a Louis Art Association’s Fall Art Fair at Queeny beach with their children) and “The Last Park, which runs Aug. 30-Sept. 1. Hurrah” (two elderly veterans chatting). The title of his latest painting, “Agape,” By SHEILA FRAYNE RHOADES which is Greek for “unconditional love,” An award-winning West County artist says it all. The painting depicts a caring will be making a return visit to the Greater young woman watching a homeless man St. Louis Art Association (GSLAA) Fall and his dog. Art Fair at Queeny Park this weekend. “It’s from a photo I took in Paris years

ago,” McClelland said. The artist prefers watercolors to oil paints. “Originally, I used oils, but they hold no surprises,” McClelland said. “Watercolors constantly surprise. To me, they are feminine, with a mind of their own. They can’t be controlled; the artist must dance with them.” He paints on rag paper and Yupo, an artificial paper that is very slick and does not absorb paint. “Yupo tells you what it wants to do. It catches the juiciness of the paint and allows the colors to just pop,” McClelland explained. “Sometimes, I do improvisational painting. I begin by making a chaotic mess on the Yupo, I enter into spirit meditation, and it takes over.” A retired Presbyterian minister, McClelland feels that fine art always seeks to engage the viewer in a spiritual dialogue. “As an artist, I like to create this dialogue,” he said. “Art is language of the soul and my way to explore spiritual dimensions. I believe a painting seeks to freeze a moment of eternity in time and give it a continuing life.” McClelland will be one of 130 artists from 20 states at the Fall Art Fair at Queeny, which is considered one of the most reputable art fairs in the bistate region. The event provides an opportunity to view and

purchase original pieces of fine art and fine craft in a variety of mediums, including digital art; drawing and pastels; printmaking; fiber; glass; jewelry; mixed media; painting in oil, acrylic and watercolor; photography; ceramics; sculpture; and wood. The event is held indoors in the climatecontrolled Greensfelder Recreation Center, 550 Weidman Road. Fair hours are from 6-9 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 30; from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 31; and from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 1. In addition to the exhibits, there will be wine tastings from 6-9 p.m. on Friday and from noon-6 p.m. on Sunday, plus $100 art certificate drawings at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday and at 3 p.m. on Sunday, which the winners (must be present) can spend at any exhibiting artist’s booth. From noon-4 p.m. on Sunday, the GSLAA will hold an Art Discovery Adventure for children, which is designed to encourage young people’s interest in and knowledge of fine arts and crafts. Admission is $5 and is used to help fund annual college scholarships.

Three out of four (76 percent) Missouri ACT-tested high school graduates in 2013 met at least one college readiness benchmark, according to ACT’s recent The Condition of College and Career Readiness 2013 annual report. Only 28 percent of Missouri test takers met all four benchmarks, which was above the national average of 26 percent and an increase of 1 percent over 2012. An achievement gap still persists in Missouri with 5 percent of African-Americans and 18 percent of Hispanic/Latinos meeting all four benchmarks on the ACT. A benchmark score is the minimum score needed on an ACT subject-area test to indicate a 50 percent chance of obtaining a “B” grade or higher or about a 75 percent chance of obtaining a “C” grade or higher in the corresponding credit-bearing college course. “We are encouraged to see efforts already underway to address readiness issues,” said Jon Whitmore, ACT chief executive officer. “Individual states are making bold efforts to improve college and career readiness, including strengthening learning standards. The Common Core State Standards, which ACT helped develop, are raising the bar.” This year, Missouri’s ACT composite score remained at 21.6 for the ninth year in a row. This ranks Missouri seventh out of 20 states with similar participation rates, those with 50 percent or more and fewer than 100

percent of graduates tested. Overall, Missouri ranks 23rd nationally, which is up from 26th in 2012. The number of Missouri graduates taking the ACT declined slightly to 74 percent or 49,217 graduates, compared to 75 percent or 49,222 graduates last year.

New appointment Mike Mertens, director of the Parkway School District Facilities Department, recently was appointed president of The Rotary Club of West St. Louis County.

Perfect ACT MICDS senior Emma Posega Rappleye has earned a perfect composite score of 36 on her ACT national college admissions examination. Less than one-10th of 1 percent of students who take the ACT earn a perfect score. The ACT consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading and science. Each test is scored on a scale of 1 to 36, and a student’s composite score is the average of the four test scores. At MICDS, Rappleye is an Eliot Scholar, one of 25 students selected to receive a merit-based scholarship for her outstanding academic record. In addition to her scholastic achievements, Rappleye is a longtime participant in Science Olympiad and jazz band. She also is co-captain of the cross country team this year and regularly participates in school plays. “I am very proud of Emma for both this accomplishment and her ongoing commitment to hard work, perseverance and thoughtfulness. She is a remarkable student, whose intellectual ability is rivaled only by her intellectual curiosity,” said MICDS Upper School Head Scott Small. “She reflects the very best

that we hope for in all of our MICDS students as both scholars and people.”

I am an outstanding teacher not because of what kids see me do while lecturing in front of them but because of what kids are able to do while I stand beside them.” Manker teaches social studies at Rockwood Summit.

In addition, she earned National Board Certification, the profession’s top teaching honor, in 2009. Rockwood School District Interim Superintendent Dr. Terry Adams said the district is incredibly proud of Manker. “This is an incredible honor, and it’s a reflection of the high-quality educators that work in Rockwood,” Adams said.

Student essay contest The First Freedom Student Competition’s national essay and video contest is offering high school students an opportunity to compete for $2,500 as they examine the history and implementation of freedom of religion and conscience in American democracy and the world today.

The contest is offered to ninth- through 12th-grade students. The essay award and video award are each $2,500. The deadline to register is Monday, Nov. 18. For topic, guidelines and registration, visit firstfreedom.org.

Rockwood ranking The Rockwood School District earned a 92.9 percent overall score on the Annual Performance Report released by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education as part of MSIP 5 (Missouri School Improvement Plan). This score allows the district to

remain on track to receive the highest level of accreditation possible from DESE. “In Rockwood, we want all students to be successful,” Rockwood Interim Superintendent Dr. Terry Adams said. “We appreciate the information provided in the report as it identifies needed improvement areas. We will make every effort to improve our schools to ensure we help all students learn and grow.” APRs are generated by the state for every public school and district and are used for district accreditation recommendations. The state also produces APRs for schools. In the past, districts were measured on 10-14 different standards, and the report communicated whether or not a district met or did not meet each standard. The new MSIP 5 outlines a completely new way of viewing performance by using only five standards and assigning point values to each standard. The five standards include academic achievement, subgroup achievement, college and career readiness, graduation rates and attendance rates. The maximum number of points that a K-12 district can earn is 140, and the APR is reported as a percentage of the total points earned by a district. Rockwood earned 130 points of the 140 points possible on the most recent APR. Rockwood ranked sixth overall of the 23 school districts located in St. Louis County on a combined MAP Performance Index. In addition, Rockwood ranked 16th overall of Missouri’s 560 reported districts on this same index. Student performance on state assessments meets or exceeds the state standard, and Rockwood continues to be a high-performing school district.

Girls in the Know to host effort to curb ‘meanness in the girl world’ By SARAH WILSON swilson@newsmagazinenetwork.com “Sugar and spice and everything nice.” Hardly what little girls are made of. As girls re-enter the classroom this fall, it is a good time to open up the conversation about the rising emotional, inevitable and detrimental effects of bullying, which starts as early as elementary school. That is where “Finding Kind” comes in. A film that addresses “meanness in the girl world,” “Finding Kind” is an educational documentary chronicling two college students who packed their vans and traveled across the country to explore the impact of bullying. At the same time, they launched the Kind Campaign, a movement that brings awareness and healing to the harmful effects of bullying. When Gina Marten, executive director of Girls in the Know, a nonprofit organization that aims to encourage preteen girls to make positive choices as they mature into adulthood, got a hold of the film, she thought there was no better time to share that knowledge with young girls and their mothers. “It just felt like it was timely, with kids just getting back to school and having the whole idea of having a strong, fresh start in the school year,” Marten said. “Just looking at the statistics and understanding what’s happening in schools, even though we’re educating and we’re talking about it more, there’s still so much work to do. “‘Finding Kind’ brings to light the detrimental and emotional effects bullying can have on young women in middle school and high school and creates a spirit for change. You see so much in the news about kids and teen suicides these days, and we just feel like it’s important if we can have an impact in this area.” On Saturday, Sept. 7, Girls in the Know will present the premiere of the film in addition to hosting an EXPO showcasing

community girl-empowering organizations that support the movement to abolish the “mean girl” phenomenon. “This is a great way to open the door to those important conversations while the girls are still young enough, while we’re able to reach them and stay connected with them as they are just entering their teen years,” Marten said. “In addition to being a documentary about the meanness within the girl world, the mission for the creation of the film was to create a movement, and we liked that idea.” St. Luke’s Hospital, among other sponsors, has joined Girls in the Know’s effort to promote education about bullying. Mary Pfenning, RN, coordinator of St. Luke’s Hospital’s Spirit of Women, said the movie “aligns very well with our mission to improve the quality of life for the community.” “St. Luke’s Hospital is partnering with Girls in the Know on the ‘Finding Kind’ St. Louis premiere and EXPO because we know it’s never too early to teach women to take action for their own physical and emotional health,” Pfenning said. “The preteen and teen years are a very influential time in a woman’s life, so it’s important to provide the information and resources needed to help girls make good health decisions now that they will carry into adulthood and share with their families.” “Finding Kind” is recommended for ages 11 and older and plays twice, from 10 a.m.noon in the Teen Lounge of the St. Louis Public Library, located at 1301 Olive St., and again from 1-3 p.m. at St. Luke’s Hospital’s Institute for Health Education, located at 232 S. Woods Mill Road in Chesterfield. In addition to the movie and EXPO, the event includes a Chill Frozen Yogurt Bar and participation in the Kind Campaign. The cost is free, but donations to support Girls in the Know are appreciated. Reservations are required. To RSVP, call (314) 7171270 or email info@girlsintheknow.org.

Parkway, West County cities partner to encourage youth involvement effort by Parkway School District teachers and city staff from four local municipalities to discuss how to make the concept of local government more relevant for students. “Much of the state’s standards and much of your typical social studies curriculum, whether in Parkway or any school district, is going to focus heavily on federal government first and then state government,” McQuerrey said. “With local government coming at a distant third, local government is the one that impacts students and citizens the most.” The partnership between Parkway and the cities of Ballwin, Chesterfield, Creve Coeur and Maryland Heights emerged from a desire to nurture the development of engaged and involved citizens. Beginning in February, staff from each municipality and Parkway came together to discuss how Chesterfield’s Mike Herring at the June meeting to develop meaningful ways of accomplishing mutual goals. The outcome of the meeting was a multifaceted approach for By SARAH WILSON engaging Parkway with the broader comswilson@newsmagazinenetwork.com “We want people to be able to see the munity. “Instead of saying once you graduate line of dominoes down the road, instead of just the domino that happens to be right you’re going to get a chance to participate in community and government process, in front of us.” That is the analogy Toby McQuerrey, (we asked) how can we engage them now,” Parkway’s coordinator of elementary edu- McQuerrey said. Mike Herring, Chesterfield city adminiscation, used to refer to a new collaborative

trator, said there was “a great dialogue and exchange of ideas throughout the day.” “I think knowledge is power and, since local government is the closest level of government to all citizens, with the greatest and most meaningful impact on our daily lives, understanding what cities do and how/why we do it is critically important,” Herring said. “I applaud Parkway’s commitment of resources and the willingness of their teachers, at all grade levels, to help us communicate with our youngest citizens.” Organized around the theme, “There’s more to local government than what you see,” a workshop, held in June, comprised the first formal step in the school and local government partnership. The workshop concluded with teachers and city leaders planning together for how to develop meaningful learning experiences for students that will help prepare them for their roles as citizens. First, interested teachers would receive professional learning around the purposes and functions of local government. Second, elected officials and professional city managers and staff would make themselves available to be guest speakers in Parkway classrooms. These occasions would provide city leaders with the oppor-

tunity to share with students how local governments work to improve the quality of life for its citizens and to provide students with a vision of a career path in public service beyond those positions that are highly visible. Finally, there would be summer opportunities for Parkway teachers and students to work collaboratively with city officials to identify community problems and to be mentored by professional city managers in the development of possible solutions to those problems. “It was a great start, and we’ve got some good momentum going,” McQuerrey said. “It will just be a matter of having that become a priority, along with other priorities. But it is something we want our students engaged with. We just thought, why not go to the experts. That’s what they do on a daily basis, trying to address problems that they see happening in their community. “What impacts a person the most is right what happens in their backyard with their neighbors, within their subdivision. And sometimes as citizens, we don’t react to problems or seek to solve things unless it impacts us directly, so I would hope that the big takeaway for this is for kids to be concerned and think about the common good.”

Youth golf St. Louis Saints

By WARREN MAYES wmayes@newsmagazinenetwork.com

St. Louis Saints The Saints, of the St. Louis Metro Collegiate Baseball League, made a good run at the National Amateur Baseball Federation’s college World Series for 22 and under athletes. Coach Aaron Byington’s club went 4-0 in pool play. In the quarterfinals, the Saints scored a 4-3 win over the Toledo Hawks. The club’s run ended with a 6-1 loss to Peppino’s Pizza, of Grand Rapids, Mich. “I’m pretty happy with the way we attacked the teams in the tournament,” Byington said. “The players we added really helped add some consistency to our team. After beating the (defending champion Michigan) Bulls in Game 2, I think our guys really started to understand how far we could actually make it.” Peppino’s fell to the St. Louis Dodgers in the title game. The loss by the Saints to Peppino’s prevented an all-St. Louis final. “In the game against the Pizza boys, our offense had gone a little cold, but we still played really well,” Byington said. “Unfortunately, the umpires made some calls that ruined the game for us. It was hard watching the replay and seeing just how bad of a blown call it really was.”

Byington said Joe Stropp, Dan Harper and Brandon Zufall had “really nice tournaments at the plate” for the Saints. “Ian Miller, one of my pitchers, actually did a really nice job putting some at-bats together and scoring some runs,” Byington said. “It was a very nice surprise for our team. Mike Wuelling, Ian Miller, Eric Tiefenthaler and Jake Eichhorn really did a nice job off the mound and carried us through our low points.” Having a fellow league member win the national title was a good thing, Byington said. “We’re happy for the Dodgers and the other boys in our league,” Byington said. “They played well, were coached well and deserved to walk away as champions. We’re extremely proud as a league to have two teams do so much damage in such a big tournament.”

College baseball Daniel Holst has transferred to Southwestern Illinois College in Belleville from Texas A & M.

Several St. Louis area junior golfers competed in the recent Optimist International Junior Golf Championships in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Faust The event at PGA National Resort & Spa brought together some of the world’s most talented young competitors, many of whom have the potential to become leading collegiate and professional Aromando golfers in the future. In the boys 16-18 age group, three area athletes played well. The final round featured the top 50 boys plus ties. Marquette graduate Zachary Gollwitzer was in that group. Gollwitzer ended the tournament in a tie for 17th place. He had rounds of 75-74-7774 to end with a 300. Gollwitzer will be a freshman at Akron this fall. Daniel Venker, of St. Louis University High, finished in a tie for 97th place with a 239 on rounds of 81-82-76. De Smet Jesuit’s Kyle Szyhowski, of St. Charles, finished play in a tie for 130th place with a 246 on rounds of 82-81-83. Szyhowski will play this fall at Loyola New Orleans.

In the girls 10-12 age group, two local athletes competed. Grace Aromando, of Lake Saint Louis, finished 29th out of 38, with a three-day total of 260 on rounds of 87-90-83.

Amateur golf Two standout local golfers competed in the recent United States Golf Association’s 113th U.S. Amateur championship at the historic Country Club in Brookline, Mass. Whitfield graduate Mitch Rutledge and CBC graduate Tanner Bulejski were among the 312 players who qualified to play in the nation’s top amateur golf tournament. Rutledge, who is a sophomore at Michigan State, missed the cut after two rounds of stroke play. He finished tied for 182nd place with a 151 on rounds of 72 and 79. Bulejski, who is a junior at Rockhurst, wound up in a tie for 307th place with rounds of 86 and 80. A rising sophomore for the Spartans, Rutledge qualified July 22 at Forest Akers West Golf Course in East Lansing. He needed a playoff, after tying for second at 2-under par 140 after the 36-hole afternoon. “Mitch has been playing very well highlighted by a Sweet 16 showing at the U.S. Amateur Public Links and steady play in other national events,” Spartan head coach Casey Lubahn said. Rutledge played in all 12 events for the Spartans in his first season. He finished third on the team with a 75.7 scoring average, while posting three top-20 placements. Bulejski qualified for the tourney at a regional qualifier at Norwood Hills Country Club. Bulejski shot a 73 on the first day and a 69 on the second day to finish with an even-par score of 142. Bulejski birdied the last three holes on the second day after suffering double bogeys on the ninth and 10th holes. He was one of the four golfers to qualify for the

U.S. Amateur out of 104 golfers at the St. Louis qualifier. “Ever since I started playing competitive golf, competing in the U.S. Amateur has been a dream of mine,” said Bulejski, who has been selected to the All-Great Lakes Valley Conference team the past two years.

Youth baseball St. Gerard Majella School recently won its fourth consecutive CYC Open Archdiocesan Championship with a 10-3 victory over St. Joseph-Manchester at Koch Park in Florissant. The win capped a perfect 16-0 season. In the past four seasons the school’s cumulative record is 60-4. Clay Cary is the coach of the boys eighth grade team. The team won 33 consecutive games over the past two years. St. Gerard was led throughout the playoffs by fireballing right-hander Louis Candelario. The youngster struck out 45 batters in the final three playoff games, including 20 batters in a 3-2 victory in the semifinals. The offensive star, Cary said, was first baseman, Parker Maue, who had the gamewinning hit in all three playoff games – a walk-off (14th inning) double in the quarterfinals, a walk-off (seventh inning) double in a 3-2 victory in the semifinals and a two-run single in the title game against St. Joseph-Manchester. Boys on the team were Jackson Anderson, Daniel Brennan, Austin Blom, Collin Bryan, John Cary, Louis Candelario, Michael Grigone, Ben Gunning, Reed Hoeferlin, T.J. Jacoby, Alex Kramer, Ryan Masterson, Parker Maue, Scott Meier, Lorenzo Pertalia, Charlie Willis, Holden Wilmsen and Zach Yahl. Cary’s assistant coaches were Frank Gunning, Jeff Kramer, Rob Masterson, Ed Brennan and Tom Maue. “We won two playoff games we easily

could have lost, but the boys simply refused to lose,” Cary said. “Every team has an MVP. Well, we have three in Louis Candelario, our star pitcher; Parker Maue, our most clutch hitter; and Charlie Willis, whose leadership, offense, pitching and defense led the team all year and throughout the playoffs.”

all drivers, and those with ADHD demonstrated even more variability in speed and lane position than teens without ADHD. According to Jeffery N. Epstein, director of the Center for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder at Cincinnati Children’s, texting is especially dangerous because it involves visual, manual and cognitive distractions – “the very kinds of distractions that lead to car accidents.” “Teens as a group are already at increased risk of distracted driving accidents,” Epstein said. “Now we know that an ADHD diagnosis and texting while driving increase those risks.”

Compared to middle-aged women, middle-aged men with high cholesterol levels run a much greater risk of having a first heart attack, a recent study suggests.

High cholesterol more dangerous for middle-aged men A study of more than 40,000 middle-aged adults showed that high cholesterol levels are far risker for men than for women when it comes to having a first heart attack. Researchers in Norway gathered blood samples and data from a large-scale health study on 23,525 women and 20,725 men, all younger than age 60. During 12 years of follow-up, researchers found that men with high cholesterol levels were three times more likely to have a first heart attack than women with high cholesterol. Researchers conducted a second analysis on adults older than 60 and found no disparity between gender and a first heart attack among those with elevated cholesterol levels. Study authors concluded that middleaged men with high cholesterol should be treated more aggressively than they typically are treated. Current guidelines for treating elevated cholesterol do not differ

based on gender. The study was published in the September issue of Epidemiology.

Texting, driving and ADHD Studies have shown that people are at a much greater risk of having a car accident when text messaging than when they are driving without distractions. A new study suggests that teens who have attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and text while behind the wheel put themselves at additional risk. Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center researchers tested the driving performance of 16- and 17-year-old drivers, about half of whom had been diagnosed with ADHD. Using a 40-minute test with a driving simulator, researchers looked at driving speed and lane position of the teens while they sent text messages and talked on the phone. They found that texting significantly affected speed and lane position for

Movies rated for teen audiences are showing increasing amounts of alcohol. Elaina Bergamini of Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire looked at data on hit movies from 1996-2009 and found that the number of appearances of branded alcohol in G-, PG- and PG-13-rated movies rose from 80-145 per year. Bergamini noted that while there are controls on the appearance of tobacco in movies and those appearances were not rising, alcohol lacks similar controls. “Talk (with teens) about the consequences of drinking, especially in light of the fact that those consequences are not sufficiently represented in the movies,” Bergamini said.

Teen fighting linked to drop in IQ Teen girls who suffer physical injury from a fight suffer also from a loss of IQ equivalent to missing a year of school, and teen boys experience the same loss after being hurt in two fights, according to a study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health. “It’s no surprise that being severely physically injured results in negative repercussions, but the extent to which such injuries affect intelligence was quite surprising,” said Joseph A. Schwartz, who led the study at Florida State University.

The research revealed that each fightingrelated injury resulted in a loss of 1.62 IQ points for boys and 3.02 IQ points for girls. Other studies have suggested that missing one year of school is associated with a 2- to 4-point drop in IQ. Researchers attributed the greater IQ loss in girls to physiological differences that make males better able to withstand physical trauma. They said the impact of fight-related injuries on IQ might be greater when taking into account only head injuries. The study included data on injuries to all parts of the body. About 4 percent of high school students are injured as a result of a physical fight each year, researchers said.

Doubting breast cancer risk Almost 20 percent of women do not believe their breast cancer risk, according to a new study from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. For the study, nearly 700 women who were at above-average risk of developing breast cancer completed a Web-based questionnaire asking their age, ethnicity, personal breast cancer history and number of first-degree relatives diagnosed with breast cancer. They were then told their risk of developing breast cancer within the next five years and provided with prevention strategies. Next, the women were asked to recall their breast cancer risk, and about one in five either overestimated or underestimated the number. Twenty-two percent of those misreporting their risk said they disagreed with the numbers they were given, with most citing a belief that their family history made them either more or less susceptible to breast cancer. For example, many women believed that because an aunt had breast cancer they were at increased risk, but only first-degree female relatives – a mother, sister or daughter – impact a woman’s breast cancer risk. One-third of women said they had a gut instinct that their risk numbers were wrong. Study author Angela Fagerlin said if women

do not believe their risk numbers, they will not make informed medical decisions. “Women who believe their risk is not high might skip chemoprevention strategies that could significantly reduce their risk,” Fagerlin said. “And women who think their risk should be higher could potentially undergo treatments that might not be medically appropriate, which can have long-term ramifications.”

level brain regions required for complex judgments and decisions become blunted by a lack of sleep, while more primal brain structures that control motivation and desire are amplified,” said Matthew Walker, the study’s senior author. Walker noted also that foods high in calories became “significantly more desirable when participants were sleep-deprived.” “This combination of altered brain activity and decision-making may help explain why people who sleep less also tend to be overweight or obese,” he said.

People who would like to lose some weight might want to work on improving their quality of sleep. Working with 23 healthy, young adults, University of California Berkeley researchers examined regions of the brain that control food choices and discovered new information about the link between poor sleep and obesity. Specifically, when participants were sleep-deprived, brain imaging tests revealed impaired activity in the part of the brain that governs complex decision-making and heightened activity in areas of the brain that respond to rewards. Researchers found also that when participants were deprived of sleep, they favored unhealthy snack and junk foods – such as burgers, pizza and doughnuts – over fruits and vegetables. “What we have discovered is that high-

Gluten-free getting better The taste, appearance and nutritional value of gluten-free foods are improving, according to a presentation last month at the 2013 Institute of Food Technologies Annual Meeting & Food Expo in Chicago. New technologies and ingredients were credited with the improvements to glutenfree foods, which traditionally have had a gritty or dry texture, short shelf life, high amounts of sugar and little nutritional value. According to Chris Thomas, a food technologist, product development historically has focused on the gluten-free aspects of food, but consumers are demanding better food options. Utilizing “native functional flours based on tapioca and rice, we’re able to achieve texture, color and appearance that is similar to wheat-containing products while eliminating grittiness and crumbliness,” said Thomas, who noted that the new products are similar to wheat products in calories, fat content, overall nutrition and shelf life. Also improving the foods is the use of pulses – the edible seeds of leguminous crops – used to create flour- and starch-like substances. Pulses are being used in glutenfree pastas, baked good, snacks, breadcrumb substitutes in meatballs, and other foods. Roughly one in 133 Americans has celiac disease, an immune disorder triggered by gluten peptides found in wheat, barley and rye. The market for gluten-free foods is expected to reach $6 billion by 2017.

By WARREN MAYES wmayes@newsmagazinenetwork.com De Smet Jesuit reached the Class 6 semifinals last year and returns 12 starters from that team. The Spartans under coach Pat Mahoney did lose a key player for the season in lineman Andy Bauer, who had committed to Mississippi and who is sidelined with a hip injury. However, the Spartans are deep and should make plenty of noise in the Metro Catholic Conference as well as the postseason. CBC returns 12 starters from last year’s 11-1 squad and appears to be poised for another good season. The Cadets return record-setting quarterback Tyler Creath for his senior campaign. Lafayette, Eureka, Marquette and Parkway South will make the Suburban West Conference a battleground this fall. While Marquette did not have a winning season last year, the Mustangs return nine starters, including many in the skill positions. In the Suburban South Conference, Parkway Central has 15 starters back from last year’s 11-2 team. Look for both Parkway North and Parkway West to be improved this fall. In the Metro League, Westminster Christian Academy will be a force along with Priory. There is one new coach this season. Chaminade has Antoine Torrey making his debut for the Red Devils after Doug Taylor stepped down following a long, successful run as coach. Here is a look at the teams in alphabetical order, with insight from the head coaches:

CBC CADETS 2012 record: 11-1. Won Metro Catholic Conference. Reached Class 6 quarterfinals, losing 56-35 to De Smet Jesuit. Coach: Scott Pingel, entering sixth year as head coach at CBC with a record of 46-13.

On offense, we have a lot coming back, but we lost some big playmakers to graduation so I am excited to see who steps up and makes plays.” Goals: “Our goal is simple – get better each week. Cliché, yes, but if we can keep working to get better then we can play longer in the year.” Teams in Metro Catholic Conference: CBC, Chaminade, De Smet Jesuit, St. Louis University High and Vianney Favorites to win the Metro Catholic Conference: De Smet Jesuit, St. Louis

University High, Vianney, and Chaminade – they all can win it.

Forks & Corks pops into Chesterfield Amphitheater this Saturday

The Chesterfield Amphitheater will offer a feast for the senses from 3-10 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 31 at Forks & Corks, a firsttime, upscale community event featuring fine food and drink, live music, an Artist Village, fireworks – and free admission. Originally slated to make its debut in 2012, Forks & Corks was sidelined last year due to inclement weather. The long-range plan to make it a signature event for West County over Labor Day weekend remains in place, and the city of Chesterfield Parks & Recreation Department has partnered with several sponsors to launch it this year. A highlight for Forks & Corks attendees will be the opportunity to taste delicious foods from some of the area’s finest restaurants, including Balaban’s wine cellar & tapas bar, Charlie Gitto’s from the Hill, East Coast Pizza, EdgeWild Restaurant & Winery, Oceano Bistro, Sarah’s Cake Shop, Scarecrow, Schnucks, and Windowsills Café. A wide selection of wines and regional craft beers, plus signature cocktails from the restaurateurs, will be available to complement the cuisine. To partake in the food and beverage offerings, patrons may purchase tasting booklets, priced at $15 each with separate booklets sold for food and alcohol. Food tickets will allow guests to sample bite-sized portions of culinary items, and drink tickets will be

redeemable for alcoholic beverages. The Corks & Forks Artist Village will showcase the creative talents of about 15 local artists displaying and offering for purchase works in a variety of mediums, including handmade pottery, jewelry, photography, oil painting, textiles, clay and glass. Also contributing to the festivities will be an exciting lineup of professional musicians, beginning with Woo Daddies, a talented trio that will provide toe-tapping street entertainment. Four high-energy musical acts will perform from the Main Stage, including Irie Sun, a local, rock/pop duo; Smokey Lonesome, a group born in the deep South and led by Platinum Award-winning singer/songwriter Curtis Lance; “Blues Diva” Kim Massie, winner of two Best Female Vocalist of the Year Awards and one of the Midwest’s most recognizable vocalists; and Groovethang, a popular St. Louis party band. Forks & Corks will conclude with a bang, culminating at 10 p.m. with a fireworks show. No parking will be available on the street at the Chesterfield Amphitheater, but patrons may park across from Dillard’s (near EdgeWild Restaurant & Winery) at Chesterfield Mall and ride a free shuttle to and from the event. For more information, visit chesterfield. mo.us, or call 537-4000.

Home sales back to pre-recession levels Kevin Weaks

Good news for home buyers and sellers: For the first time since 2009, U.S. homes are selling at a pace associated with a healthy market. Sales jumped 6.5 percent in July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.4 million, the National Association of Realtors said last week. Over the past 12 months, sales have surged 17.2 percent. Steady hiring and low mortgage rates have helped the housing market recover over the last year. Banks have also begun easing tight credit standards, which have made it hard for many people to get mortgages. Buyers have been purchasing previously occupied homes at an annual pace above 5 million for three straight months. The last time that happened was in 2007. Sales are far above the 3.45 million pace of July 2010, the low point after the housing bubble burst. Analysts generally think a healthy sales pace is roughly between 5 and 5.5 million. Buyers don’t seem deterred by higher longterm mortgage rates, which have jumped, on average, from 3.35 percent in early May to last week’s 4.58 percent. The higher rates may have led some potential buyers to buy in July out of fear that rates will rise further. Here’s what’s new in new homes:

on certain variables and some restrictions apply, but cost-conscious buyers have enthusiastically welcomed the huge monthly reductions achievable with the Rate Rollback program. Purchasers in some communities have the option of other equally attractive incentives, and alternative financing plans may be available. Home shoppers currently in the market will also want to mark their calendars for Saturday, Sept. 7, when sales will open for the first phase of Miralago, the prominent builder’s newest single-family community. Located on the east side of Mid Rivers Mall Drive at Ohmes Road in Cottleville, Miralago will feature six ranch and two-story designs from the Manors Collection – a favorite with customers in Fischer’s Montecito, which is now virtually sold out. Site development is already underway, and Miralago’s gently rolling terrain, lush greenery and refreshing lakes create a serene, picturesque setting for these fashionable homes. Future plans call for a network of walking trails, fountains and abundant common ground. Construction of the display model is expected to begin in late September or early October. According to COO Ryan Casserly, Miralago presents a truly unique Final days for Fischer’s ‘Rollback’ promo homebuying opportunity.

Chesterfield Arts’ ‘Inspirations’ showcases works of special needs youth By SHEILA FRAYNE RHOADES An Aug. 16 opening reception for Chesterfield Arts’ second annual “Inspirations” exhibit kicked off a two-week showcase of works created by students in a summer art program for children with special needs. The exhibit tops off Chesterfield Arts’ summer Kaleidoscope Program, which encourages children to creatively interpret their world through art and provides them with instruction in drawing, painting, pottery and other media. Karen Hizer, a special education expert who helped produce Kaleidoscope, said the program ensures that fine arts are available to artists of all ages and abilities. “We work with students with varying disabilities ages 6 years and up,” Hizer said. “Some students may have visual processing problems, others may have difficulty when they try creating a line from one edge of the canvas to another. This program builds a trusting environment that helps them socialize and develop stronger memory, interpretive and fine motor skills.” Jenny Donaldson, exhibition coordinator and instructor, explained how the program works. “During the six-week session, we try to cover six different artists as well as landscapes, portraits, animals, a still life through different media,” Donaldson said. “We also encourage them to try things they haven’t done before and help each student find something they can be successful at.” The exhibit is a unique display of art inspiring art – inspiring art. Students were encouraged to paint their own versions of famous works by classic artists. Then, Chesterfield Arts asked local artists to choose a student piece and create an original artwork based upon it. “Inspirations” displays nine pairings of both artworks side by side. Artist Phyllis Schulte was inspired by a painting of Monet’s “Water Lilies” created

by Sunny Kumbera, 13. “I was very moved by Sunny’s painting because I could see her personality expressed in the colors she selected. The artwork was vibrant and full of energy. It was a pleasure to be able to focus on her art to inspire my own,” said Schulte, who created a ceramic platter centered by a water lily. “Sunny had a wonderful time seeing her teachers and meeting new people,” Sunny’s mother, Susan Kumbera, said. “Kaleidoscope helped her to gain confidence in her own abilities and talents. It encouraged her to try new techniques and ways of observing art and the world around her.” Hizer created a pairing with Ethan McDougal, 12. “I observed that Ethan enjoyed painting in layers. We had this in common because I often use collage materials in layers,” Hizer said. “His painting gave me the feeling that I was looking at creatures in flight, so I settled on the theme of butterflies for my own work. I wanted my collage to show layers, texture and diverse colors.” Artist Jeane Vogel’s “Searching for Words” was inspired by 15-year-old Dinaz Shroff’s interpretation of Wassily Kandinsky’s “Color Study: Squares with Concentric Circles.” Dinaz’s mother, Yasmin Shroff, also praised Kaleidoscope. “This program is the only one like it in our area,” Shroff said. “Dinaz may be quiet, but she has a lot going on inside. Through art, she’s able to express herself. It’s a wonderful thing.” The “Inspirations” exhibit runs through Friday, Aug. 30 at Chesterfield Arts. All art is available for purchase, with proceeds benefiting Kaleidoscope and Chesterfield Arts’ education programs. Kaleidoscope is funded in part by a grant from the Monsanto Fund. Fall classes begin Sept. 17. For more information, call 519-1955, or visit chesterfieldarts.org.

Louise Belt questions Gus Raeker about plans for managing Rockwoods Reservation over the next 10 years. (West Newsmagazine photo)

Community input sought future of Rockwoods Reservation management By MARCIA GUCKES mguckes@newsmagazinenetwork.com To burn or not to burn? To climb or not to climb? These are just some of the questions the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has been asking area residents as it makes plans to manage Rockwoods Reservation for the next 10 years. The “burn” being discussed is a forest management technique known as “prescribed burn” in which a limited area of forest is burned in order to create space in the woods for more natural diversity. The “climb” is rock climbing, a favorite recreational activity at Rockwoods since the 1940s. The possibility of conducting controlled burns and re-authorizing rock climbing were topics of an open house held at Rockwoods Reservation on Aug. 5. District Forester Gus Raeker explained that a prescribed burn could bring more plant and animal diversity to the area. “The woods have become crowded in the last 100 years without fire,” Raeker said. He said controlled burns would help manage unwanted and invasive plant species, and increase the growth of green vegetation for wildlife and songbirds. Louise Belt, an organic gardener, whose home is near Rockwoods Reservation, was happy to hear about the potential changes that fire could bring, but she did have some concerns. “Fire seems so drastic,” Belt told Raeker. “We have a lot of deer and turkey.” She also wondered if fire would kill off microbes in the soil that plants need to grow. Raeker assured Belt that not only would the microbes, turkey and deer be OK, but that she would see an increase in flowers

such as Lady Slipper orchids. Belt conceded that prescribed fire might be a good technique “if you can do it in such a way so people won’t be choking on the smoke.” “Once folks understand that fire restores the natural community and brings back native flowers and grasses, I think they’ll be comfortable with it,” Raeker said. He also emphasized that prescribed burning is just one of the forest management techniques under consideration along with selective tree cutting, spraying invasive species, and others. Likewise, rock climbing is just one of the recreational activities being discussed, but according to Raeker it’s the one getting a lot of energy from enthusiasts. Currently, the climbers are caught between a rock and a hard place because the private organization that the MDC had authorized to certify climbing permits folded last year. So now climbers are caught in a “Catch 22” of needing authorization from a group that does not exist. No matter what their opinion, interested parties have some time to give the MDC their input because a plan will not be finalized until November. During August and September the MDC staff will be taking the 134 public comments already gathered and developing a draft of the 10-year management plan. That rough draft will be posted online during October at mdc.mo.gov/areaplans and interested parties are encouraged to leave constructive comments and concerns on the site. Rockwoods Reservation is one of nearly 1,000 conservation areas covering almost 1 million acres in Missouri. MDC is updating plans for all of the areas.

Change always brewing at The Crafty Chameleon Bar

By BETSY ZATKULAK The tale of The Crafty Chameleon Bar began about 20 years ago when two U.S. Air Force servicemen stationed in Germany fell under the spell of beers handcrafted by German brewmasters. Dave Sislo, Crafty Chameleon investor and director of operations, explained: “What we used to do is bop around town by town, and each town had its own brewmaster who brewed their own beer; but it was always a little bit different by each town. We thought, ‘What a great concept,’ and we wondered if it would ever fly back in the States.” Sislo and Jay Quezada, his fellow serviceman, beer enthusiast and now majority owner of The Crafty Chameleon, went their separate ways but later wound up in the same St. Louis community, where the magic began to brew. Quezada scouted the area and found the perfect location in Ellisville. He and Sislo asked their favorite local bartender, Andrew Lieffers, to come on board as general manager, and the venture began. Open just more than a month, The Crafty Chameleon Bar is named for its celebration of craft beers and everchanging taps. With 40 taps, nearly 300 perfectly chilled The Crafty Chameleon Bar 1384 Clarkson Clayton Center • Ellisville (636) 220-9144 3 p.m.-midnight, Mon.-Fri.; 11 a.m.-1 a.m., Sat.-Sun. www.craftychameleonbar.com

bottles on hand and cask beers, The Crafty Chameleon is sure to please true beer devotees. “Whenever one tap runs out, a new one goes up,” Lieffers said. “It’s kind of a new experience every time you come in.” The bar also features Crafty Concoctions, such as the Dirty Heifer (wheat beer and a splash of Framboise) and the Chameleon Bite, which plays off the classic Snakebite, mixing Ace Pear Cider and Dry Stout. “Before, (American) beer was kind of a laughing stock to the rest of the world, and Dozens of ever-changing taps are a hallmark of The Crafty Chameleon Bar in now we’re doing more innovative things Ellisville. than any other country is really doing,” Lieffers said. “And we’re lucky enough to have potluck for game days, pick up sandwiches at a local deli an amazing beer scene in St. Louis that is just exploding.” or order in pizza.
