I OPINION I 3

THOMAS SOWELL

A poignant anniversary The 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, and of Rev. Martin Luther King’s memorable “I have a dream” speech, is a time for reflections – some inspiring and some painful and ominous. At the core of Dr. King’s speech was his dream of a world in which people would not be judged by the color of their skin, but by “the content of their character.” Judging individuals by their individual character is at the opposite pole from judging how groups are statistically represented among employees, college students or political figures. Yet many – if not most – of those who celebrate the “I have a dream” speech today promote the directly opposite approach of group preferences, especially those based on skin color. How consistent Martin Luther King himself was as he confronted the various issues of his time is a question that can be left for historians. His legacy to us is the “I have a dream” speech. What was historic about that speech was not only what was said but how powerfully its message resonated among Americans of that time, across the spectrum of race, ideology and politics. A higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats voted in Congress for both the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. To say that was a hopeful time would be an understatement. To say that many of those hopes have since been disappointed would also be an understatement. There has been much documented racial progress since 1963. But there has also been much retrogression, of which the disintegration of the black family has been central, especially among those at the bottom of the social pyramid. Many people – especially politicians and activists – want to take credit for the economic and other advancement of blacks, even though a larger proportion of blacks rose out of poverty in the 20 years before 1960 than in the 20 years afterward. But no one wants to take responsibility for the policies and ideologies that led to the breakup of the black family, which had survived centuries of slavery and generations of discrimination. Many hopes were disappointed because those were unrealistic hopes to begin with. Economic and other disparities between groups have been common for centuries,

in countries around the world – and many of those disparities have been, and still are, larger than the disparities between blacks and whites in America. Even when those who lagged behind have advanced, they have not always caught up, even after centuries, because others were advancing at the same time. But when blacks did not catch up with whites in America, within a matter of decades, that was treated as strange – or even a sinister sign of crafty and covert racism. Civil rights were necessary, but far from sufficient. Education and job skills are crucial, and the government cannot give you these things. All it can do is make them available. Race hustlers, who blame all lags on the racism of others, are among the obstacles to taking the fullest advantage of education and other opportunities. What does that say about the content of their character? When the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was pending in Congress, my hope was that it would pass undiluted, not because I thought it would be a panacea but, on the contrary, because “the bitter anticlimax that is sure to follow may provoke some real thought in quarters where slogans and labels hold sway at the moment.” But the bitter anticlimax that did follow provoked no rethinking. Instead, it provoked all sorts of new demands. Judging everybody by the same standards was now regarded in some quarters as “racist” because it precluded preferences and quotas. There are people today who talk “justice” when they really mean payback – including payback against people who were not even born when historic injustices were committed. The nation has just been through a sensationalized murder trial in Florida, on which many people took fierce positions before a speck of evidence was introduced, basing themselves on nothing more than judging those involved by the color of their skin. We have a long way to go to catch up to what Martin Luther King said 50 years ago. And we are moving in the opposite direction.

These Wildwood clients wanted a lower level fit for entertaining. The challenge was to create a cozy area without adding walls. New comfortable seating and pub tables were requested to work with the existing pool table, floor lamp and two leather chairs. Spraying the ceiling joists and systems to match the linen white paint on the concrete floor and foundation walls gave the space a more finished look. The leather chairs inspired a coat of glossy black on the typical gray beams. A bright, modern rug was selected to coordinate with the green-felted pool table and comfy, new red sofa. Woven wood shades and a glitzy, crystal pendant added contrasting textures, with pub tables completing the inviting space. Now my clients are anxious to ask, “Anyone for a game of pool?” This room was a winner in the At Home Architect & Designer Awards. Looking for a design solution for your lower level?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Monarch Fire District requests yard tools To the Editor: I found much to be done at the Monarch Fire Protection District when I arrived after the April election. We are addressing issues one by one. One of those issues was brought to our attention by a resident who pointed out that improvement is needed in the maintenance of our grounds. In light of the high standards set by Monarch and the residents of the municipalities within our boundaries, the Board wanted properties of which we all could be proud. The Board recently set a policy that each of the firehouses would maintain its own property as was done in previous years. Residents have expressed an interest in making this project as efficient as possible by donating yard tools they may no longer need. Yard tools we would appreciate, include: • shovels • spades • rakes (both leaf and hard tip) • pruning shears • grass clippers • hedge trimmers (manual, gas or electric) • edgers • weed eaters (gas or electric) • blowers Yard tools can be dropped off at: • The Monarch Maintenance Facility behind Firehouse #5, 151 Long Road. • The Monarch Administration Building, 3725 Olive Blvd. Thank you for joining with us to save your tax dollars and improve the maintenance at our six properties. Feel free to call me with any questions or suggestions. Jane Cunningham Board of Directors Monarch Fire Protection District

Gun sense, part II

To the Editor: We can all agree that we have the right and responsibility to protect ourselves, our family and property. No one is advocating confiscating all of your guns. However, when times change, so must we. The Constitution must be and is constantly re-interpreted in the context of the times we live in. Your freedom to buy any type of firearm is not absolute. That’s why a civilian cannot purchase automatic weapons. They are reserved primarily for military use. Assault weapons, or if you prefer, mili-

tary-style weapons and high-capacity magazines should be put back on the restricted firearms list. One such organization against a military-style weapons ban is the NRA. One of the purposes of the NRA is to act as a “heat shield” for gun manufacturers. All of the rhetoric against the proliferation of certain types of weapons is funneled through the NRA. Wayne LaPierre gets paid a lot of money from gun manufacturers to deflect this rhetoric toward him and the NRA. Another part of the NRA’s purpose is to keep the flow of big money going to gun manufacturers. Mr. LaPierre accomplishes this by keeping the fear level high in “low information” people by living in the “hypothetical” and “what if” world and by fear mongering wrapped in a cloak of patriotism, liberty and freedom. Some examples of what I’ve heard over the years from NRA postings or from its members are so far fetched, I will not comment on some of them. But I will let these comments stand alone on their own merits: • “You own a revolver that shoots only six bullets? What if seven criminals break into your house?” • “What about the coming apocalypse?” How are you going to defend your home when hundreds of rioting people are coming for your food and water? You’ll need hundred round magazines (AK/ARs) for you to protect yourselves.” • “Gun laws burden law-abiding citizens and criminals don’t follow laws anyway.” This last one is true. However, where do you think criminals come from? They are not born criminals. They come from the ranks of law-abiding citizens until they cross a line. These laws are in place to remind people not to cross that line or there will be consequences. Can we do a better job enforcing these laws? Absolutely. Should we not make new laws or enhance existing laws because criminals won’t follow them? Absolutely not. Here’s another one: • “The government is coming to take away your guns. So stock up now before it’s too late.” A couple of questions come to mind with this one. Who will give that kind of order? And, more importantly, who do you know inside any government agency or outside the government that would follow that order? Another question. There are over 313 million people living in the U.S. How would that work logistically? And going down this rabbit hole further, if it is

Time to prove it

EDITORIAL

Politically speaking Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s recent visit to the St. Louis area, including a stop in Chesterfield, certainly helped raise the political temperature at a time Mother Nature’s late summer heat wave already had the mercury near triple digits. Sparking the ruckus were broadcast ads in which Perry criticized Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon’s veto of tax cut legislation and then invited unhappy Missouri employers to learn why businesses and families are moving to Texas. Nixon cried foul and took aim at the Missouri Chamber of Commerce, one of the groups sponsoring Perry’s visit here, for undermining the state’s economy. Joining Nixon in chastising the state Chamber was, among others, the Coali-

Competition makes you stronger. It’s part of what makes America great. – RICK PERRY tion for Missouri’s Future, a broad-based group of business, labor, education, health care and civic organizations. “The Missouri Chamber says it fosters ‘positive economic development opportunities for Missouri employers.’ We didn’t realize that it meant in Texas,” a Coalition statement declared. Of course, the real goal of having Perry here was to drum up support for the Missouri Legislature’s effort to override Nixon’s veto of House Bill 253 during its upcoming session this month. The Chamber, Grow Missouri and other conservative and pro-business groups, as well as Republican organizations, have launched an extensive media campaign backing an override of the tax-cut measure. In an age of political spin, sound bites, emotional buzz-words and polarization, perhaps it’s naïve and futile to expect thoughtful discussion, debate and com-

promise when important issues arise. Perhaps it’s just as nonsensical to ponder why businesses, and many others, decry big government and wasteful spending and then quietly sidle up to whatever local, state or federal money trough offers the most lucrative tax breaks and other incentives for their individual project or purpose. Is HB 253 the best thing since sliced bread, as its supporters claim? Or, is it “a sloppily drafted piece of legislation full of errors that would actually cost Missourians millions,” as the Coalition says? One thing’s for sure: The current media ad blitz puts more sound, rather than light, on the issue. Those musings aside, give Perry his due for striking an appealing chord to justify his foray into Missouri and a number of other states where he has made similar pitches about what the Lone Star State has to offer. It’s all about competition, he says. Competition is good. Competition makes you stronger. It’s part of what makes America great. Such points are tough to counter – and Perry knows that, which brings about this final thought. Perry’s third elected term and his 14th year as governor of Texas ends in 2014. As lieutenant governor, he took George W. Bush’s place in the executive mansion when Bush resigned in 2000 after being elected president. Perry announced two months ago he will not seek re-election. As for other political aspirations, such as another attempt to seek the Republican nomination for president in 2016, well, Gov. Perry is playing his cards close to the vest on that one. But what better way to stay in the public eye than traveling around the country burnishing his image as a jobcreator with a record of promoting smaller government. With the nation’s economy still languishing and with the growing disgust and distrust of Congress and Washington generally, that sounds like good politics.

Citizen’s Police Academy scheduled

Bridge closes for inspection

The Ballwin Police Department will be conducting a free Citizen’s Police Academy class on Thursdays from Sept. 5 – Nov. 7 for individuals wanting to learn more about police procedures. The academy will have nine sessions and will meet from 7-9 p.m. at the Ballwin police station in Vlasis Park. Participants will receive instruction on patrol techniques, traffic enforcement, accident investigation, crime scene processing and police communications. The academy is designed to provide interested citizens with a better idea of how their police department operates and the police work within the criminal justice system. Participants must be at least 18 years old and either reside or work within the city limits. Those interested can contact Officer Sarah Case or Officer Shaun Doerr at 2279636 for an application.

The westbound I-64 Daniel Boone Missouri River Bridge will be closed from noon on Sept. 7 until 9 p.m. on Sept. 8 for the bridge’s biannual inspection. There will be no access across the river from St. Louis County westbound to St. Charles County during these times. The eastbound I-64 bridge will be open for the weekend. Motorists are advised to use the other three Missouri River crossings between St. Louis and St. Charles counties during the weekend. Those alternate crossings include I-70, Hwy. 364 and Hwy. 370.

Barbecue to raise money for Light the Night On Sept. 9 and 10, employees of the Chesterfield Schnucks store located at 141 Hilltown Village will fire up the grill and set the table for a good cause.

day, from 11 a.m.-6 p.m., will be donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society at its annual Light the Night event. Ken Siebold, who is spearheading the benefit, says the store also had a barbecue last year, but the goal this year is bigger and so is the event. “It’s two days instead of one and we have more competition this year,” Siebold said. In total, 22 Schnucks stores are participating in some form of fundraising for Light the Night, said Jane Smith, senior campaign manager for the program. It’s a friendly competition, but Siebold, who works in the meat department, believes that with the help of area residents, his store can be the “Chesterfield Champs.” His enthusiasm is hard to resist, especially when he talks about his first year walking in the Light the Night event. “It was overwhelming,” he said. “You had to have Kleenex in your pocket. I kept getting tears in my eyes thinking about all those people who have battled or are battling cancer,” Siebold said. Taking place on Sept. 27, Light the Night is a two-mile walk through Forest Park in which participants, who contribute $25 or more, are given an illuminated paper lantern to carry. The event steps off at 7:30 p.m. from the upper Muny parking lot, but according to Smith it’s wise to get there early.

Parking is on streets and open lots, including the lower Muny lot, throughout the park. “People come out with picnics and chairs and blankets and just kind of enjoy the whole event,” Smith said. A 5K race will precede the walk, beginning at 6:30 p.m. and registration for both events gets underway at 5:30 p.m.

ELLISVILLE Judges side with city in Walmart CUP lawsuit A three-judge panel at the Missouri Court of Appeals presiding over the case of Ellisville resident Thomas DeBold versus the city of Ellisville and its former City Council in regard to the validity of the conditional use permit granted to Walmart decided in favor of the city. Judges Mary Hoff, Robert Dowd Jr. and Robert Clayton III on Aug. 29, upheld the City Council’s decision to grant a conditional use permit to Walmart for the development of a 155,000-square-foot retail outlet. In their decision, the judges wrote that “there is substantial and competent evidence supporting the City Council’s decision.” The DeBold lawsuit, which began in the fall of 2012, jumped up from the St. Louis County Circuit Courts in February of 2013

Having failed to acquire the extension, Walmart has until Sept. 5 to obtain a building permit and begin construction.

The bill, introduced by Aldermen Phil Behnen (Ward 4) Fred Meyland-Smith (Ward 3) and Jon Benigas (Ward 4), now defines green space, solar energy, solar energy systems and structures as they pertain to the construction and installation of ground-mounted or roof-mounted solar energy systems. “More and more people are interested in solar and it was an issue we felt we needed to address,” Behnen said. “One day solar systems will probably be as common as air-conditioning units and we wanted to encourage residents to put up solar.” Residents interested in installing panels on their homes must submit an application for a conditional use permit to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Residents are also advised, but not required, to seek approval from their neighborhood trustees.

Conservative A-Listers to headline political conference in St. Charles By CAROL ENRIGHT cenright@newsmagazinenetwork.com If talk of limited government and defunding the Affordable Care Act gets your heart racing, clear your calendar for Sept. 28. That’s the day some of the most prominent voices in the Republican Party will headline the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at the St. Charles Convention Center for a program of speeches, workshops, panel discussions and networking opportunities. Among the 30 or so speakers are Fox News personality and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee; Govs. Sam Brownback of Kansas and Rick Perry of Texas; former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum; and Wayne LaPierre, CEO of the National Rifle Association. Homegrown politicians, U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt and U.S. Reps. Blaine Luetkemeyer and Ann Wagner are in the lineup as well. CPAC St. Louis is put on by the American Conservative Union (ACU), the nation’s oldest and largest grassroots conservative organization. This is the 40th year that the ACU has hosted a conservative political action conference in Washington, D.C. However, St. Louis is only the fourth city to host a regional CPAC – after Denver, Orlando and Chicago. ACU Chairman Al Cardenas said the organization began to “reach out to the heartland

of America” with state-level think tanks and regional CPACs about three years ago. “Our goal was to go around the country and marry the great interest in federal issues with the interests in the regions,” Cardenas explained. Two major themes at CPAC St. Louis will be Obamacare – and “what do conservatives do about the disaster that it’s become,” said Cardenas – and immigration reform. “We look forward to energizing and mobilizing conservatives in the state,” he said. Luetkemeyer, who represents the state’s 3rd Congressional District, hinted that he would be addressing the government’s overreach into private citizens’ lives, the economy and “a health care program that’s about ready to implode.” He called the CPAC “a great opportunity to showcase conservative ideas, conservative philosophy – and I welcome the opportunity.” Wagner, a Ballwin native representing Missouri’s 2nd District, spoke at last year’s regional CPAC in Chicago. She said she was “thrilled” to have the event in St. Louis. “We’re the heartland,” said Wagner. “This is where true, common sense conservatism reigns.” Wagner said she would “talk about the way to stop this administration’s blatant disregard for individual liberties and freedom.”

“People are so fed up with the government abuse and waste and overreach that they’ve seen of late,” Wagner said. Beyond the broad theme of limited government, the congresswoman said she would address the GOP’s plans to “get our economy moving again,” as well as energy and health care issues. Wagner said the convention would rally its supporters with an eye toward the 2014 election. “Obviously, as the Republican Party, we want to keep control of the House and to grow our members in the House,” Wagner said. She talked about Project GROW, the GOP’s effort to recruit more women to the party. “I’m spending a good deal of my time on recruitment, especially with women and encouraging women to get more active and involved in the conservative movement and the Republican Party,” she said. Cardenas said CPAC events have, historically, provided a platform for the GOP’s rising stars, such as Sen. Marco Rubio, and he promised the St. Louis crowd would get a glimpse of the party’s up-and-comers, too. “We’ll bring a host of young leaders under 40 to St. Louis that, perhaps, Missourians haven’t heard of, but certainly will in the years ahead,” Cardenas said. Online registration is available through

ACU Chairman Al Cardenas will be among the speakers at the CPAC St. Louis.

Internal unrest leads to accusations, concerns about CCE expansion By JIM ERICKSON ericksonjim@att.net After an internal rift that led to canceled meetings and a delay in action on issues related to a major expansion, the Central County Emergency 911 (CCE) Board of Directors has voted to end its contract with a consultant hired to provide project management and technical expertise. And while Michael Turner, CCE’s executive director, has said the dispatch center no longer needs the consultant’s services, doubts about the operation’s ability to manage its growing and highly technical activities are being raised by the long-time chief of a fire department CCE serves. That chief, Jack Trout from the Frontenac Fire Department, also sits on a county Emergency Communications Commission (ECC) that controls the purse strings on funds CCE plans to seek to help pay for its expansion. CCE is the entity responsible for handling 911 calls and dispatching the appropriate equipment and personnel to where help is needed. Until recently, the fire protection and emergency medical operations it served were limited primarily to those in western St. Louis County. That changed dramatically at the end of June when the

center also began handling 911 calls and dispatching duties for seven similar districts and departments in South County. An even bigger expansion is scheduled Nov. 1 when CCE is to extend its services to 16 fire and emergency medical operations in North County and begin dispatching ambulances from Christian Hospital. When the CCE Board began considering expansion possibilities, the need for technical help became apparent and the directors hired now-terminated consultant, Colleen Dealey, on a temporary basis in October of 2012. Her contract was renewed in June. To date, she has billed the dispatch center for some $89,000 at the $60/hour rate specified in her contract agreements with CCE. Dealy was recommended by West County EMS Fire Chief Ernie Rhodes, who had worked with her on major project in St. Charles. Not mentioned at the time was that Rhodes and Dealey had formed a company to develop disaster management software, a need Rhodes had identified based on his experiences during past emergency deployments. Fast forward to mid-June when what appears to be a tipping point in the Board’s relationships occurred.

The South County expansion involved a re-addressing of numerous pieces of computer and communication equipment served by CCE’s dispatching operations. That process was supposed to take only an hour or two but instead took days. The delay meant a loss of key communications and data links. The apparent cause was an absence of network mapping and documentation needed to facilitate the re-addressing work. Dispatching activities continued but not with the customary level of information availability. Upset and frustrated by the snafu, Rhodes sent a message reminding fellow chiefs on CCE’s operating committee that Turner had assured all of them at an earlier meeting that appropriate network documentation was in place. Rhodes also went to the CCE office with one of his own command officers and confronted Turner about the problem and asked “direct and specific questions and demanded answers” from the executive director. At a quickly called meeting of the operating committee, members recommended to the Board that Turner be relieved of key responsibilities. The Board subsequently split on the committee’s recommendation. Meanwhile, having viewed the session

with Rhodes as harassment, Turner filed a complaint alleging a hostile work environment had been created. The Board retained former St. Louis Circuit Judge Michael Calvin, now associated with the Spencer Fain Britt & Browne law firm, to investigate the charges. In a report reviewing his findings, Calvin dismissed the allegations of conflict of interest stemming from the Dealey-Rhodes business partnership and Dealey having been hired by CCE. Calvin also determined “…the allegation of harassment in an attempt to create a hostile work environment is unsupported by the evidence.” The fact that there was a system-wide failure for an extended period is “undisputed,” Calvin said, adding that it was logical for Rhodes to go to Turner for answers or to express his frustration. The Aug. 28 meeting, Board members displayed a willingness to move forword. However, at presstime, Dealey’s check still was being withheld until she returns CCE items still in her possession, according to Turner. ••• Editor’s note: A longer version of this story is online at newsmagazinenetwork.com

City Council considers next steps in Creve Coeur Golf Course dam repair

City Engineer Matt Wohlberg and Director of Recreation Kirsten Barnes examine the site of the leak. (West Newsmagazine photo)

By JIM MERKEL stlmerkel@att.net Officials in Creve Coeur claim they’re swearing off subsidizing the city’s golf course and ice skating rink. But City Administrator Mark Perkins said that ending contributions from the city’s general fund to the enterprise fund would not prevent the city from covering capital improvements at both locations, including costs of unanticipated repairs to a leak in the dam of a lake in the course. Perkins said the city has always assumed the cost of capital improvements, including a $3 million project at the Creve Coeur Ice Arena in 2003. But it no longer wants to assume the cost of operating expenses at the ice arena and nine-hole Creve Coeur Golf Course. Both are part of the city’s Dielmann Recreation Complex, located at11400 Old Cabin Road. “It’s our goal for it to stand alone as much as possible,” Perkins said. The operating expense subsidy started after renovations of about $1.8 million were done at the facilities in the mid-1990s, Perkins said. At the time, the enterprise fund did not have contain enough income to cover the cost of the renovations, and a transfer of funds from the general fund was approved, setting up an internal loan. According to Creve Coeur Finance Officer Dan Smith, most years the city made a transfer from the general fund to the enterprise fund. These annual transfers helped to cover operating expenses at the complex and, in turn, allowed the enterprise fund to repay its internal debt. However, beginning with the 2013-14 fiscal year, the city has

decided to “take the loan off the books,” according to Smith. Kirsten Barnes, Creve Coeur’s director of recreation, said moving forward, signs are good that the city won’t need to underwrite the complex’s operating expenses. After last year’s hot, dry weather chased golfers away, this year’s cooler weather has brought them back. Golfers played 4,143 rounds in July, up from 3,026 in July 2012. But, unwilling to say that a transfer will never again be needed, Smith pointed out that “you never know what the future may hold.” His prediction may come to pass sooner rather than later. According to City Engineer Matt Wohlberg, a leak in the dam of a lake at the fifth hole of the course that developed in early June could increase the city’s investment in the course and result in unbudgeted expenses of $185,000 or perhaps much more. The leak appeared next to the concrete spillway in the dam in the south end of the retention lake in early June. Today, the lake is partially drained and full of algae. Wohlberg previously told the City Council that if the golf club was private the city now would be leaning on it to fix the mess. “It’s big enough to worry about the integrity of the dam,” Wohlberg said. “The city has an obligation, because this is a detention area, to fix it.” The Council subsequently voted at its Aug. 12 meeting to pay Intuition & Logic, a St. Louis civil engineering firm, up to $84,573 to propose alternatives to fix the dam, lake and channel. Wohlberg estimated about $100,000 for the most basic fix. He also said the city had planned to spend about $200,000 to dredge the lake, and that it doesn’t make sense not to do both at the same time. Repairs, he said, should be done by April 2014. The city has a stormwater capital improvements fund of $150,000. Between the dredging, the cheapest fix and the engineering study, the city would be short about $235,000, Wohlberg said. But Perkins said the cost wouldn’t just be for the course, because the lake and dam are part of a larger drainage system that includes an office park to the north. He said the extra cash for the repairs could come from delaying other capital improvement projects, or from the city’s fund balance. The Planning and Zoning Commission will discuss the dam repair further on Sept. 16. The city’s Stormwater Committee and Parks and Recreation Committee also will meet on it, probably jointly, before the topic comes back before the Council and a final decision on how to fund the repair is made.

First piece of outdoor artwork slated for Wildwood City Hall is all wet in the landscaped island by the main building entry. It will remain for at least a year. “It’s 4 to 5 feet tall and the top is a V-shaped trough where water collects and drips downward through holes, which changes the sculpture’s metal material and appearance over time,” Vujnich said. “It’s an art piece that works with the natural environment.” The water will cause the surface to take on a patina over time. Councilmember Colleen Rull (Ward 6), chair of the Council’s Planning, Economic Development and Parks Committee, admitted some viewers might find it “hard to understand” the concept of the “Acid Rain” piece. “That’s why the community college also will add a small explanation of the piece’s name and some information about it, so people will be able to better appreciate it when they see it,” she said. All outdoor pieces by community college students will have those explanations on a stand next to the artwork, Vujnich said.

Wildwood approves outdoor music at Big Chief Roadhouse in Pond By MARY SHAPIRO mshapiro@newsmagazinenetwork.com Wildwood’s City Council on Aug. 26 gave final approval by a vote of 12 to 2 to an amended proposal to allow amplified live music to be performed for up to eight hours per week on the patio of the historic Big Chief Roadhouse restaurant in the Pond neighborhood. Councilmember, David Geile (Ward 1) and Sue Cullinane (Ward 3) were opposed. Councilmembers Jeffrey Levitt (Ward 7) and Larry Goodson (Ward 8) were absent. The amended legislation says the outdoor music would be allowed only on a trial basis for six months, rather than the original one-year period, before a review;

that the music be allowed only on Fridays and Saturdays; and that the music can be played for up to four hours each of those days but no later than 9:30 p.m. The legislation also says bands could have no more than three members. The trial period would determine whether music would continue to be allowed based on whether problems were reported, with an early review by the city, seeking input from residents and the restaurant, in four months. Any band on the patio would have to face west, away from homes. If after six months the Council finds no problems with the arrangement, it can allow for a series of annual renewals.

Fines could double on Pierside Lane By DAN FOX dfox@newsmagazinenetwork.com Concerned citizens living on Pierside Lane in Ellisville are pushing for new ways to crack down on speeders, one of which may create a double fine zone for the road. In a work session prior to the Aug. 21 City Council meeting, residents discussed their concerns regarding the number of drivers who use Pierside as a cut-through. Councilmember Linda Reel (District 3) said that oftentimes drivers cutting through on Pierside will speed and drive recklessly. “I have been out on that road and the speeding is just awful,” Reel said. She presented a list of potential ways to curb the amount of dangerous driving on the road, which included the use of stop signs and the possibility of doubling the fine for speeding on the street. The Council agreed to several of the ideas, and made and passed a motion that would allow city staff to begin research and implementation of the various methods. Reel cautioned that double fines could be seen as a money grab rather than a safety precaution, but other councilmembers were in support of the measure. “The double fines are definitely the way to go,” Councilmember Mick Cahill (District 2) said. “I think that would really hit them in the pocket and slow them down.” Reel also suggested the use of a speed camera that would be activated when a vehicle passes between two sensor points too fast, taking a picture of the car’s license plate. Mayor Adam Paul said he does not like “robocops,” but that in the case of Pierside a traffic enforcement camera could be necessary. “I’m not a fan of red light cameras at all, but in this situation it’s a matter of safety,” Paul said. However, he added that he also wanted additional input from neighborhood residents. “I would definitely feel more comfortable if we had more input from the residents of the neighborhood before we move forward,” he said.

Rockwood Summit High School seniors Madison Robinson and Taylor Stegmann, and Eureka High School freshmen Kate Daniels and Tristan Pacino, attended a four-day conference sponsored by CADCA (Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America) in Austin, Texas, before the start of this school year. They worked with national leaders to develop a plan to address marijuana use in the Rockwood community. The students will use the knowledge they gained to help develop a branded marijuana education campaign, targeted to both youth and adults, and to implement new intervention strategies in schools and neighborhoods. Rockwood Drug-Free Coalition provided scholarships for all four students, and Executive Committee member Carole Chapekis attended the training with them. Coalition Director Renee Heney explained, “Community coalitions address community problems, such as youth substance abuse, obesity and bullying. These issues can’t be resolved by schools alone, or parents alone, or law enforcement, health care and government alone. But, when everyone comes to the table – bringing their resources, connections and ideas – we have

Westminster Christian Academy sophomore and Korean international student Minjoo Kim recently completed illustrations for a children’s book titled “The Pig Who Didn’t Want to Be Pink.” Local elementary school teacher Eva MacKoul wrote the book. MacKoul has taught preschool through sixth grade and often uses storytelling as a teaching tool in the classroom. She lives in Chesterfield with her husband and three daughters. Kim says that drawing is her passion and that she really enjoyed bringing “The Pig Who Didn’t Want to Be Pink” to life. “The Pig Who Didn’t Want to Be Pink” is available for purchase on West Bow Press’s website, westbowpress.com.

Chesterfield third-grader turns lemons into lemonade for charity By SARAH WILSON When Lauren Stewart, a third-grader at Claymont Elementary, saw a news article about a child from Friends of Kids with Cancer, she only wanted to learn more. “One of the little girls on the cover, a girl who looked close to Lauren’s age, was dressed in a pretty ball gown, the way Lauren likes to play pretend dress-up,” Lauren’s mom, Holly Stewart, said. “I read the article to her, and she was curious why the little girl didn’t have her hair done up, the way I curl her hair up and put bows in it and so forth, the way you get dressed up for a fancy event. I told her that radiation and chemotherapy would have caused the little girl to lose her hair.” Right away, Lauren she said wanted to help out in any way she could so that sick kids “don’t die and can have fun just like us.” She decided to have a lemonade stand to raise money for Friends of Kids with Cancer. When Holly contacted the organization, she said they were thrilled. “They thought it was really neat that somebody her age wanted to do something in their little corner of the world to help,” Holly said. Friends of Kids with Cancer gave Lauren posters to help advertise her event, and Lauren went door to door to pass out 200 fliers. Lauren also sent a letter to families of children in her classroom to ask for additional donations. Her two brothers, Jack, 10, and Will, 4, were anxious to help out as well. “They were big helpers, too,” Holly said. “She had a really good support system to put a lemonade stand together.”

Right before school started, on a sunny afternoon in August, the lemonade stand was ready to open. “We made bunches of chocolate chip cookies and had lots of lemonade and had so many people show up,” Holly said. “It was awesome, and we had beautiful weather.” Overall, they raised about $1,100. “I couldn’t have been prouder and happier than to see her wanting to do something selfless, wanting to help other children and to have that drive and stay motivated,” Holly said. “She knew there was going to be a lot of legwork involved, and I was just very pleased so see that it was such a high priority for her. I think that for being such a little girl, that’s kind of a big, grown-up accomplishment.”

Friends of Kids with Cancer (friendsofkids.com) has a proud 20 years history in the St. Louis area. Concerned parents Molly Henry and Suzie Snowden teamed up with Jill Turec, a Developmental Specialist at Mercy Children’s Medical Center, because they saw the great need for the simplest of words: fun. Today, Friends offers many different programs and services, at request of medical staff at area hospitals, and clinics that meet the recreational, emotional and educational needs of kids with cancer.

Carrying on the tradition Parkway North redshirt freshman Donavin Newsom is carrying on a big tradition at Missouri. Newsom, one of the top linebacking prospects in the country from the class of 2012, has been awarded the No. 25 jersey in memory of former Tiger Aaron O’Neal, who died tragically in July of 2005 following a summer conditioning workout.

in 2013. “I started coaching Lori when she was 3 or 4 at an indoor soccer club, and I followed her career and watched her become one of the best female soccer players, not just in the St. Louis area, but in the entire country,” Saints coach Eric Delabar said. “We are excited to work with Lori at Maryville University and look forward to her sharing her knowledge, ideas and thoughts on the game. This will be tremendous opportunity for the Maryville women’s soccer team and the entire coaching staff.” A graduate of Nerinx Hall High School, Chalupny was ranked by Soccer America as the No. 2 player in the nation. She was a two-time Parade Magazine High School All-America and twice earned All-State honors for the Markers. Chalupny went on to a standout college career at North Carolina, completing her eligibility in 2006. For the Tar Heels, she was a three-time All-American and helped the team win the 2003 National Championship. A three-time All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection, she scored 30 goals and had 32 assists during her career with the Tar Heels. She was an assistant women’s soccer coach at Washington University in St. Louis from 2010 to 2012.

After an impressive freshman campaign that included earning all-tournament team honors at the UIC Soccer Classic and being named a unanimous selection to the Big Ten’s All-Freshman Team, Cochran returned for his sophomore season and was the anchor of a Badgers defense that twice held opponents to scoreless streaks of more than 200 minutes. Cochran’s efforts were rewarded as he became just the eighth UW men’s soccer player ever to garner All-Great Lakes Region honors, while also being named a first-team All-Big Ten honoree. Cochran has started in 37 games for the Badgers and has spent time with the U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team.

Prep football – Week two forecast By WARREN MAYES wmayes@newsmagazinenetwork.com Week two of the high school football season features several compelling matchups. In a battle of Class 6 heavyweights, Eureka will play at CBC in a 7 p.m. nonconference game Friday. CBC reached the quarterfinals last season while Eureka made it to the quarterfinals. Both teams have a long tradition of excellence. CBC went 11-1 last year while Eureka finished 9-3. The Cadets have a talented quarterback in senior Tyler Creath, who threw for threw for 2,697 yards and 30 touchdowns last season. In 2012, Creath broke CBC’s single-season completion passing percentage with 67 percent on 199 of 297 passing.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has published new information to guide doctors in determining which drugs are safe for breastfeeding women. According to the AAP, mothers often are advised to either discontinue medications or stop nursing their babies, but most medications and immunizations are safe to take while breastfeeding. According to an AAP release issued last month: “It is important for breastfeeding mothers to inform their child’s pediatrician about all of the medications they are taking, including herbal products. Not all drugs are present in clinically significant amounts in human milk or pose a risk to the infant. Certain classes of drugs can be problematic, either because of accumulation in breast milk or due to their effects on the nursing infant or mother. The most common products of concern include pain medications, antidepressants, and drugs to treat substance/alcohol abuse or smoking cessation.” The AAP stated also that vaccinations recommended for mothers during the postpartum period are designed to protect infants and breastfeeding mothers.

Oral ‘sunscreens’ The American Academy of Dermatology has issued an alert regarding oral supplements marketed as providing sun protection. According to a statement from American Academy of Dermatology President Dirk M. Elston, M.D., pills that come with a claim to provide protection from the sun should not be used as a replacement for sunscreen or sun-protective clothing. “There is no scientific evidence that oral supplements alone can provide an adequate level of protection from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays,” Elston said. Elston said that whether or not a person is taking an oral supplement, the Academy recommends seeking shade, wearing sun-

protective clothing and a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or greater.

No quick cure Doctors often prescribe exercise for people with sleep problems, but insomniacs should not expect immediate results. “If you have insomnia, you won’t exercise yourself into sleep right away,” said Kelly Glazer Baron, director of the behavioral sleep program at Northwestern University and author of a study on the effect of regular exercise on quality of sleep. “It’s a long-term relationship. You have to keep at it and not get discouraged.” Baron conducted the study after hearing her patients with insomnia complain that the exercise she recommended did not immediately improve their sleep. “They’d say, ‘I exercised so hard yesterday and didn’t sleep at all,’” Baron said. “The prevailing thought is that exercise improves sleep, but I thought it probably wasn’t that simple for people with insomnia.” Baron’s analysis of data from a 2010 clinical trial showed the ability of aerobic exercise to improve sleep over a 16-week period in adults aged 57-70 with insomnia, suggesting that insomniacs should allow four weeks for regular exercise to contribute to better sleep.

Fighting cancer with coffee Four cups of coffee a day might keep prostate cancer away, a new study shows. Researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center set out to determine if compounds in coffee and tea might prevent the recurrence of prostate cancer and delay its progression. Results of their study showed that compared to men who drank one or fewer cups of coffee per week, men who drank four or more cups of coffee a day experienced a 59 percent reduced risk of prostate cancer recurrence and/or disease progression. Researchers said they could not yet recommend coffee to prevent prostate cancer recurrence, as randomized clinical trials and additional studies are needed. They noted also that drinking coffee can cause health problems for some men. The study did not find a link between tea consumption and prostate cancer, but researchers said since few study participants were regular tea drinkers, further research is needed.

2013 Manchester Homecoming Parade grand marshal: Jean Muehlendyck It is the 2013 Manchester Homecoming Committee’s privilege to honor Jean Muehlendyck as the grand marshal of this year’s Manchester Homecoming Parade. Jean always has lived in the area and visited Manchester in her youth, going to the movie theater and to a skating rink that was located on the second floor of the building now called The Lyceum. In the 1950s, she and her family operated a pub at Henry Avenue and Manchester Road. Jean has been a volunteer in Manchester and the surrounding area most of her life. She has been involved in many local functions, including running the food stand for the Manchester Jean Muehlendyck Athletic Association, and she continues to visit the patients in Jefferson Barracks to run bingo games and bring them Christmas presents each year. She has been on the Manchester Homecoming Committee for more than 20 years, acquiring prizes and working tirelessly serving in many ways. She has helped also with Manchester’s Easter egg hunt and Halloween party, serves as president of the Senior Center in Valley Park and works with American Legion Post 208 with bingo games and their fish fry from October through Easter. Jean bowls two times a week and was elected to the St. Louis United States Bowling Congress Hall of Fame in 2010 for her volunteer work with the Women’s Bowling Association. She enjoys traveling and has been to France, Germany, Alaska, the Caribbean, Colorado, Nevada, Texas and Florida. Jean is a busy lady who enjoys each day and lives by her motto: “Keep on moving as long as you can.”

I MANCHESTER HOMECOMING I 29 To the Rescue

2013 Manchester Homecoming Business of the Year: Sallie’s Cake and Candy Supplies When Sallie and Jim Krings opened their antique shop and cake decorating business in 1974, they had no way of knowing that nearly 40 years later, it still would be serving the Manchester community. Sallie was a nurse and thought she and Jim needed something to keep them busy, as Jim was nearing retirement. The original business was located in a rented building at the back of the present location. The couple moved the business a couple of times during its early years, finally purchasing the building where the shop currently sits at 14340 Manchester Road. Eventually, the Kringses stopped selling antiques and instead focused their business on decorating cakes and Gerry (left) and Mary Ann Arbini chocolates, selling supplies and teaching classes. Jim retired in front of a portrait of Jim and Sallie Krings, Mary Ann’s parents and went to work building their enterprise with Sallie and and the original owners of the couple’s two grandsons, Christopher and Corey. Sallie’s Cake and Candy Supplies. Fast forward four decades, and the business continues to thrive, now under the leadership of Mary Ann and Gerry Arbini, the Krings’ daughter and son-in-law. The Arbinis had owned and operated a similar business with multiple outlets, which they sold to raise their family. When Jim Krings passed away in 1997, the Arbinis stepped in to help Sallie, and when she passed away in 2006, they decided to keep the business going. Today, Sallie’s is a well-known fixture among home bakers; commercial stores; and restaurant, club and hotel chefs. The former and current owners received training in national and international techniques. The Arbinis regard professional development as a requirement for keeping up with current trends in cake decorating and candy making. Along with their sons, they enjoy the challenge of marketing their specialized products. Mary Ann said that at some point, Christopher and Corey will take over the business, giving Sallie’s its third generation of family owners.

Our idea of paperwork.

The Manchester Homecoming Committee has chosen Beth Morgan as the 2013 Manchester Citizen of the Year. Beth and her family moved to Manchester from Sylacauga, Ala., 17 years ago so her eldest daughter could attend Central Institute for the Deaf (CID). They live in the Country Lane Woods subdivision and according to Beth, “have the best neighbors ever!” Beth and Wynn have been married for 33 years and have two sons, two daughters and a grandson. When she arrived in Missouri, Beth jumped in feet-first, volunteering for numerous sports, school and church programs. She has Beth Morgan been a parent rep for the Manchester Stingrays Swim Team for years. At CID, Beth was the co-leader of the parent group, and Parkway School District benefited also from her volunteer spirit in many ways. While the kids were in elementary school, Beth was the chair for the Carman Trails beautification committee, a den leader for Cub Pack 787, and a volunteer in the homerooms, for Pioneer Day, Spring Carnival, May Day and the annual Field Day. When her children moved up to Parkway South Middle, one of Beth’s favorite activities was being committee chair for Teacher Appreciation Day for eight years. She volunteered also for the Fine Arts Festival. At Parkway South High, she was hospitality committee chair, a Festival of Foods volunteer and a parent representative for swimming and water polo. At Manchester United Methodist Church, Beth has enjoyed teaching Spirit Camp, taught Sunday school, been involved with youth small groups, taught Vacation Bible School and now is co-leader of “Cooking for a Cause.” Beth credits her parents for her volunteer spirit. “My dad was mayor of our little town and had teams of volunteers to make our town special,” she said. “It has always been a way of life for me. I’ve made wonderful, lifelong friends by volunteering – people who’ve made me a better person.”

News and Notes Grandmother stress One of the longest-running studies on grandmothers in various family situations suggests that grandmas who provide fulltime care for their grandchildren might need help to treat depression and lessen their stress. A study at Case Western Reserve University’s nursing school tracked the health and mental well-being of 240 grandmothers for more than six years and compared data on those who were primary caregivers for grandchildren aged 16 and younger to those not caring for their grandkids. Participants’ average age at the study’s onset was 57.5 years. “Although we expected the primary caregiver grandmothers raising grandchildren would have more strain and depressive symptoms, we were surprised at how persistent these were over the years examined in the study,” said Carol Musil, the nursing professor who conducted the research. ‘They need support from others, but the most important thing is to maintain and perhaps develop new cognitive and behavioral skills and approaches for handling some very challenging family issues.” According to U.S. Census data, more than 5 percent of the nation’s households have a grandparent living in the home. Musil said more than 1 million grandmothers currently are raising grandchildren whose parents do not live in the home. The National Institute of Nursing Research funded the study. Results were published in Nursing Outlook, the journal of the American Academy of Nursing and the Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science.

When baby boomers reach their 80s, there will be few potential family members to care for them, according to a new report.

ated with increased odds of reporting at least one insomnia symptom,” said Sarah Canham, a researcher at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health who looked at data on nearly 5,000 people aged 55 and older. Reported symptoms included trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, waking too early and not feeling rested in the morning. Canham said she was unable to determine whether binge drinking cased insomnia, noting that it is possible that some people with existing sleep problems selfmedicate with alcohol. The National Institutes of Health supported the study, which was presented at an Associated Professional Sleep Societies meeting.

often are faced with the difficult choice of whether or not to have their ovaries removed. According to a peer-reviewed article published in Journal of Women’s Health, aside from a woman’s ovarian cancer risk, the most important factor in the decision is whether she is older or younger than age 50. While removing the ovaries has the obvious benefit of eliminating the possibility of future ovarian cancer, conserving ovaries and the hormones they produce may help prevent heart disease, hip fracture, sexual dysfunction and cognitive decline. According to the article, “A Critical Evaluation of the Evidence for Ovarian Conservation Versus Removal at the Time of Hysterectomy for Benign Disease,” when there is no acute reason to remove the ovaries at the time of hysterectomy and a woman has no increased genetic risk for ovarian cancer, data suggests that ovary removal should be discouraged in women younger than 50. However, in postmenopausal women, the article states, it is advisable to remove the ovaries to protect against ovarian cancer, as the medical literature shows that elective ovary removal is not likely to have an adverse effect on heart disease, hip fracture, sexual dysfunction, or cognitive function at that stage of a woman’s life. “As 600,000 hysterectomies for benign disease are performed annually in the U.S. alone, it is imperative that we have clear guidelines for retaining versus removing normal ovaries,” said Susan G. Kornstein, M.D., Journal of Women’s Health editor, executive director of the Virginia Commonwealth University Institute for Women’s Health, and president of the Academy of Women’s Health.

caregivers to elderly people needing care will nosedive from today’s seven caregivers for each person older than 80 to four caregivers per person in the year 2030 and fewer than three per person in 2050. “More than two-thirds of Americans believe they will be able to rely on their families to meet their needs when they need long-term care, but this confidence is likely to deflate when it collides with the dramatically shrinking availability of family caregivers in the future,” Lynn Feinberg, one of the report’s authors, said. According to the report, as the number of people aged 80 and older increases in the next 20 years, the number of people aged 45-64 – the most common care-giving age range – will remain stagnant. And in 2050, there will be three times as many people 80 and older as there are now.

AFFORDABLE CARE ACT October deadline brings biggest change to health care coverage so far By SHANNON IGNEY Congress enacted the Affordable Care Act on March 23, 2010, as a step toward a reformation of the nation’s fledging health care system. Although some of the law’s mandates have been slowly implemented over the past two years, the biggest changes in coverage will begin on Oct. 1 with the implementation of health exchanges. The exchanges, defined as “public marketplaces,” by the Department of Health and Human Services, are the single largest expansion of health care since the advent of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965. But there is much confusion as to what, exactly, the exchanges will change about health insurance.

employees will certainly increase the number of people who establish care with him. “America is the wealthiest country in the world and logically we should be the healthiest as well,” Saggar said. “Unfortunately, however, we are ranked 51 in terms of longevity. “This has to change, and I feel the ACA will better the quality of health care and change this ranking, finally.” The implementation and utilization of the exchange should not only simplify purchasing coverage for business owners and individuals, it also should save them money, in

What is an exchange? Simply stated, an exchange is a competitive marketplace for individuals and small business owners to compare health care providers, plans and costs. Exchanges were developed as a way to create a single market and are intended to better the quality of care as well as reduce overall costs associated with health care. There are two types of exchanges under the ACA: • Health Insurance Exchanges, the marketplace for individuals • Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP), the marketplace for small business owners States were offered two choices: create your own exchange or participate in a federally operated one. The Missouri Health Insurance Exchange will be operated through a federally run health insurance exchange, also referred to as the Health Insurance Marketplace. Starting Oct. 1, Missouri residents will be able to access information about all the plans available through the exchange, shop for plans and access individual premium tax credits through the Health Insurance Marketplace. Small businesses with 100 or fewer employees can find access to the same information via the SHOP exchange. Coverage begins in January 2014. Missouri is one of 17 states that have defaulted to the federally facilitated exchanges. Will the exchange help or hurt? The answer depends on who you ask. Dr. Sonny Saggar, a practicing physician and CEO/ Medical Director of St. Louis Urgent Cares, is optimistic about the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. “I actually see a very bright future for physicians and patients alike. Fixing the health care crisis in America is long overdue and it’s miraculous that something is actually being done,” Saggar said. He believes health care reform “will strengthen Americans and make our workforce healthier so that we can be more competitive around the globe.” Currently, Saggar operates four health care facilities across the metropolitan area in downtown St. Louis, Creve Coeur, Eureka and North St. Louis, and is slated to open a fifth center in Overland in early 2014. Although the majority of his current patients have private insurance, and thus will most likely see no change in coverage, he anticipates that the ACA exchanges, the expansion of Medicaid and the requirement that businesses with more than 50 employees provide coverage for

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) tweeted this photo of 828 pages of regulations related to the ACA to express his frustration over the law’s complexity.

large part because plan prices are based on a consumer’s income, not their health history. In theory, purchasing a plan via the exchange can lower costs on monthly premiums and out-of-pocket expenses. Although prices won’t be set until Oct. 1, consumers can shop plans and prices online at healthcare.gov to get an idea of what they can expect to pay. To gain better understanding of what coverage will cost, the Kaiser Family Foundation developed and published a subsidy calculator to compute what a plan will potentially cost a consumer. The tool takes into account income, plan type, number of dependents and level of coverage. It can be found at both healthcare.gov and kff.org/health-reform. While Saggar is upbeat about the coming changes, many consumers are still skeptical. Despite the rhetoric espousing the ACA’s intention to

lower overall costs, DeirDre Krotz, owner of Crazywalls, a local residential decor and painting boutique, said she is apprehensive about the reform. “When I started buying my own insurance in 2003, I paid about $126 per month with a $1,000 deductible. Each year brought huge increases in premiums as well as higher deductibles to keep it in the reasonably affordable range,” Krotz said. Finally, in 2010, Krotz put away her paint brushes and joined corporate America in order to obtain affordable group health care coverage. Despite enjoying a reprieve from constantly worrying about getting sick, Krotz was unhappy and decided once again to follow her passion and pursue art as her livelihood. Today, although she is happy in her pursuit, she says the choice has rendered her unable to find affordable insurance and she is now uninsured. “Having affordable health care tied to being employed at a company strains companies with huge premiums and makes it very risky to be self-employed or own a small company like I do,” Krotz said. Although Krotz, and others like her, can currently purchase coverage via the Missouri Health Insurance Pool – paying upward of $961 a month for a $500 deductible or $463 for a $5,000 deductible – she worries that the coming reform and new health exchange will not be enough to bring those costs closer to the affordable rate she paid 10 years ago. Still she said, “I think the reform is a step in the right direction. I will be insured for less, and that’s a start.” Consumers are not the only skeptics. The ACA has yet to win widespread buy-in from the medical community. “Many of my colleagues are still unsure of the potential complications and difficulties,” said Dr. Warren T. Trampe, DPM of Deer Creek Footcare in O’Fallon, Mo., “because nobody really has a complete understanding of the entire bill.” The ACA, also known as public law 111-148, is a large, complicated document. When it was passed in March of 2010, it was about 906 pages (roughly 410,000 words). Since its passage, ACA-related regulations have added to its complexity, confusion and, yes, its page count. On March 11, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) addressed the frustration felt by many when he tweeted: “#ObamaCare regulations – 828 pages in one day. Overall, there are nearly 20,000 pages – with many more to come.” As many patients are learning, some physicians have decided not to wait for clarity, choosing instead to change their practice to a “boutique” service approach. This approach, also known as personalized care, operates much like a club membership in that a patient pays a fee to a physician’s office for access to services. Typically, a boutique practice has fewer patients, which allows easier access to appointment times and longer visits with the physician. Boutique services often do not include emergency-related services, and the fee can range from $1,200 to $2,000 annually per patient. But that approach doesn’t work for everyone. “A boutique approach is just not very feasible for many specialists like myself,” said Trampe. For patients whose physicians do choose the boutique

approach, the health care choice can become even more complicated. Individuals covered by company-provided health insurance who may have believed that the ACA would not affect them could find themselves in the position of having to either pay more for care or choose a new physician under the boutique model. West Newsmagazine reader Bill Mosley wrote a “Letter to the Editor” in July in which he stated: “(I) was never concerned about Obamacare since I have insurance coverage with my former employer … until now. (I) received a letter from my doctor of 25 years advising that he is moving to ‘personalized care’ under something called SignatureMD. … His letter indicates it is a result of the Affordable Health Care Act.” Mosley said he would be seeking a different physician. Three main differences Although current plans available for private purchase are similar to those that will be available on the exchange, there are three major differences, the most influential being the mandate to provide a package of essential benefits. The Department of Health and Human Services has defined 10 specific services that must be covered within all packages, including ambulatory patient services; emergency services; hospitalization; maternity and newborn care; mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment; prescription drugs, rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices; laboratory services, preventive and wellness services; and chronic disease management and pediatric services including oral and vision care. The second major difference is that exchange plan pricing is based on income, not health history. This means anyone, regardless of age, medical history, preexisting conditions, etc. is eligible to purchase insurance under the ACA. Finally, exchange plans enforce new age ratio requirements that tighten the currant rate ratio from 5:1 to 3:1, meaning that, under ACA, insurers can charge older adults no more than three times the amount they charge younger adults for the same basic coverage. Beginning Jan. 1, health plans will be allowed to adjust premiums only on the following factors: • individual vs. family enrollment • geographic area • age, within the established ratio • tobacco use, although the rate cannot vary by more than 1.5 to 1 Other factors that insurers traditionally use as a basis for higher premiums, such as health status, use of health services and gender, will no longer be allowed under the ACA. Both the SHOP and individual exchanges will offer plan options in four different categories, based on the percentage of costs cov-

ered: bronze (60 percent), silver (70 percent), gold (80 percent) and platinum (90 percent). Another plan option permitted under the ACA in 2014 is a catastrophic plan that provides coverage for essential health benefits, but only after the enrollee pays deductibles equal to the amounts specified as out-ofpocket limits for health savings accountqualified high deductible health plans. This option is only available to individuals under 30 years of age or those exempt from the individual mandate because no affordable health plan is available to them or because of hardship. The effect on business owners Current statistics indicate that employeesponsored health insurance is on the decline across all sectors. In an effort to reverse this trend, the ACA has mandated that any and all businesses with 50 or more full-time employees must offer insurance coverage. Known as the employer mandate, this provision carries with it a fine of $2,000 per worker after the first 30 employees if the employer chooses not to provide affordable health coverage that meets certain criteria as mandated by the ACA and if any of their employees receive federal tax credits to purchase insurance on their own. It is this employer mandate and penalty that on July 2 was delayed by the federal government until 2015, meaning that employers with 50 or more full-time employees will have one more year to make adjustments to their current health care offerings and comply with the ACA reporting requirements, which will go into effect Jan. 1, 2015. A Kaiser Family Foundation study conducted in 2011 indicated that small businesses with fewer than 50 employees are less likely to offer employee health insurance coverage than their larger counterparts. Fiftyseven percent for businesses with fewer than 50 employees versus 92 percent for businesses with 51-100 workers and 97 percent for businesses with 101 or more workers. While businesses with less than 50 workers will not face penalties under the ACA, the overarching goal is to increase coverage across the board, so to lessen the financial burden associated with providing coverage, the ACA developed the SHOP marketplace as a way to give business owners more power and choice to offer benefits to their employees. Small businesses that purchase SHOP coverage may also qualify for tax credits of up to 50 percent to offset part of the cost of insurance. Looking forward “The general consensus among patients and physicians that I talk to is that many will likely benefit from the plan, while others will suffer at this expense,” Trampe said. As Oct. 1 approaches, the one thing that becomes crystal clear is that only time will reveal where the middle ground lies and who will truly benefit from the ACA.
