Random Thoughts
Random thoughts on the passing scene: Not since the days of slavery have there been so many people who feel entitled to what other people have produced as there are in the modern welfare state, whether in Western Europe or on this side of the Atlantic. Economist Edward Lazear has cut through all of Barack Obama’s claims about “creating jobs” with one plain and inescapable fact – “there hasn’t been one day during the entire Obama presidency when as many Americans were working as on the day President Bush left office.” Whatever number of jobs was created during the Obama administration, more have been lost. How are children supposed to learn to act like adults, when so much of what they see on television shows adults acting like children? The know-it-all smirks and condescending laughs of Vice President Joe Biden, when Congressman Paul Ryan was speaking during their debate, were a little much from an administration presiding over economic woes at home and disasters overseas – and being caught in lies about both. Like Barack Obama, Joe Biden has all the clever tricks of a politician and none of the wisdom of a statesman. If you truly believe in the brotherhood of man, then you must believe that blacks are just as capable of being racists as whites are. One of the most foolish, and most dangerous, things one can do is to take love for granted, instead of nurturing it and safeguarding it as the prize jewel of one’s life. Whenever you hear people talking about “a living Constitution,” almost invariably they are people who are in the process of slowly killing it by “interpreting” its restrictions on government out of existence. Do either Barack Obama or his followers have any idea how many countries during the 20th century set out to “spread the wealth” – and ended up spreading poverty instead? At some point, you have to turn from rhetoric, theories and ideologies to facts. I am so old that I can remember when liberals were liberal – instead of being intolerant of anything and anybody that is not politically correct.
Whatever happened to Julie Banderas of the Fox News Channel? She had brains, looks, wit and personality. Has she met with foul play? Or has some zillionaire married her and taken her off to his own private island? The question to be asked of people in the media, and that they should ask themselves, should be: “Is your first loyalty to your audience or to your ideology?” The same question should be asked of educators, especially those who see themselves as “agents of social change,” even though that is not the job description under which they have been hired and paid. People who complain about “negative” campaign ads miss the point. It is perfectly legitimate to criticize your opponent. The question is whether the ads are about serious things that matter to the future of this country, and whether they are telling the truth or lying. If you believe Barack Obama and others who oppose what they call “tax cuts for the rich,” you might want to consider what the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan once said: “You are entitled to your own opinion, but not to your own facts.” If you want to see some documented facts about tax rates and tax revenues, there is a box titled “Tax Cuts” on my website tsowell.com. Click on it. In baseball, switch hitters are said to have an advantage. But the highest lifetime batting average by a switch hitter (.319 by Frankie Frisch) is more than 30 points lower than the highest batting average for either left-handed hitters or right-handed hitters. The highest batting average in a season by a switch hitter (.365 by Mickey Mantle) is more than 50 points lower. If there is ever a Hall of Fame for confidence men, Charles Ponzi and Bernie Madoff will have to take a back seat to Barack Obama. Obama is the gold standard – or, perhaps more appropriately, the brass standard. I have never known a word to become absolute dogma, without a speck of evidence, the way “diversity” has.

letters to the editor For our wounded warriors To the Editor: “Hip Hip Hooray” to the folks at the Veterans Airlift Command (VAC). I learned about this fine not-for-profit organization from the article “Veterans Airlift Command to showcase new plane at Spirit Airport,” by Jim Erickson (West Newsmagazine, Oct. 3). The VAC is the type of organization that every American should rally behind. It is appalling to think that there are wounded, disabled warriors in the United States that cannot fly, or have experienced the level of difficulty boarding and exiting a commercial plane that the veteran in the story endured, not once but twice. In another show of complacency, they even lost his luggage. If a serviceperson sacrifices in the line of duty for our country, resulting in a disability, then special V.I.P. accommodations for all travel should be their norm. According to the article, the commercial airline treated the veteran in question worse than just another passenger. A disabled veteran with a physical limitation should be able to show their Department of Veterans Affairs disability card at any gate and be moved to the front of the line. They should be transported with their wheelchair and helped into a first-class seat. The VAC deserves our support because it treats the veteran and their families with respect, helping them maintain their dignity. It reduces the financial burden by providing free air transportation for medical and other compassionate purposes. Sadly, the commercial airline reportedly did none of that, but only added grief. I am extremely proud of the men and women of the VAC who know how to show their appreciation by giving back to those who bear the scars of war. Can you imagine yourself volunteering with the VAC or needing help from the VAC? A. Bowen Johnson Ballwin

EDITORIAL
Romney-Ryan The historical importance of Barack Obama being sworn in as the 44th president of the United States cannot and should not be ignored. A gifted speechmaker and energetic personality, the country’s first black president promised an era of change. Some even predicted the return of the “Camelot” era. Unfortunately for this country, after four years of President Obama’s ineffective leadership, that promised change has been either nonexistent or change for the worse. It has seemed at times that the country’s desperate need for economic improvement has been subjugated to the president’s narcissistic need to drive social change. Therefore, at the end of the president’s first term we find ourselves, in the words of country music legend Tennessee Ernie Ford, “another day older and deeper in debt.” Gov. Mitt Romney, on the other hand, has been steadfast in sending a consistent message that the nation’s economic woes are his first and most pressing priority. While Gov. Romney’s social agenda has been difficult to quantify at times, his “Five-Point Plan” proves that he has a pragmatic and actionable grasp on the need for this country to revitalize its economic standing. It is primarily for this reason that West Newsmagazine endorses Mitt Romney as the next president of the United States. In the nearly four years of President Obama’s administration, our federal debt burden has grown by more than $5 trillion and our economy continues to sputter. It is difficult if not impossible for us to believe that would change with another four years under the same leadership. In 2012, Gov. Romney is the change we need. In Massachusetts, Gov. Romney was able to work with a Democrat-controlled legislature to close a $3 billion budget deficit without having to increase taxes. Romney also showed strong leadership as head of the 2002 Winter Olympics. However Romney’s most relevant experience is his successful leadership of Bain Capital. That type of practical, real world business understanding will be critical in leading this country back in the proper direction. The financial machinations of our country’s largest companies have been a source of great frustration and disagreement over the last half-decade. TARP and “too big to fail” are familiar scapegoats,
but real solutions will involve complexity, nuance and sound business judgment – the type of judgment that only comes from experience, and not “community organizer” experience. Mitt Romney is not without faults. He has regularly changed positions on social issues, such that it makes it difficult to have confidence on where he will ultimately land. Romney claims this is indicative of his open-minded approach. We believe it is the political tendencies of a man who is ultimately a moderate to the core. After four years of progressive extremism, however, we feel that a practical moderate may be the best course. President Obama and our nation’s military certainly deserve credit for ridding the world of Osama Bin Laden. Beyond that however, President Obama’s foreign policy leadership has been a particularly troubling area. The Benghazi fiasco and “fast and furious” are the most high profile issues, but the most concerning one really should be what the president’s intent is if re-elected. In March of this year, President Obama was caught on an open microphone stating that he would have “greater flexibility” in regard to missile defense after the election. The message was meant as a confidential communication to Russian leader Vladimir Putin. It is difficult for us to imagine any positive connotation to this promise, and creates very, very real concern for what President Obama’s intentions might be. Romney, on the other hand, has demonstrated a deft hand in creating leverage during international business negotiations. He also showed the ability to deal with foreign politics during his leadership of the 2002 U.S. Olympic committee. But our support of Romney still hinges on his ability to set in place an economic turnaround. Our best foreign policy directive, after all, will be to greatly enhance our domestic financial strength. Mitt Romney is a thoughtful, practical man with a strong resume in business, finance, and general leadership. He is an effective communicator who is comfortable enough with his own position to accept the counsel of his advisors. He has demonstrated the sensibility to compromise when called on, and the strength to impose his will when required. Mitt Romney is the right man to serve as 45th president of the United States.

Dispatching contract renewed The city of Ballwin has renewed its longstanding contract with the city of Manchester to provide police dispatching services. The renewal is for four years and extends an agreement that has been in effect for many years. Under the contract, Ballwin’s communications center answers all calls for service via telephone or radio, including 9-1-1 calls, on an around-the-clock basic. The center also monitors hold-up and break-in alarms for both business and residential users and is responsible for dispatching Manchester police officers on all emergency and non-emergency situations. Manchester compensates Ballwin for the service based on a formula that includes audited costs for personnel, equipment and other fixed and variable expenses. 100 100 50

Ballwin city officials now have a master plan for developing Ferris Park, a 12-acre parcel located east of New Ballwin Road about a mile and a half south of Manchester Road. Jay Wohlschlaeger, of SWT Design, presented the plan to city officials at the Oct. 8 meeting of the Ballwin Board of Aldermen after the St. Louis firm received public input on preliminary design concepts this summer. Key elements of the master plan include a centrally located nature playground; a new entrance with a water feature that also deals with a storm water drainage issue and erosion of the creek that runs through the park; a larger parking area with a permeable surface; and an adjoining bio-swale to handle runoff in a more eco-friendly manner. Wohlschlaeger said the design’s features take advantage of the park’s existing topography. Implementing the entire master plan has an estimated price tag of $3 million, he said. However, the project easily can be broken down into smaller segments for completion over a number of years. Having a master plan for the park, along with the public support and input that went into its development, is important when
making applications for grants to help finance the project, Wohlschlaeger said after the meeting.

MANCHESTER Pseudoephedrine ban passes The Manchester Board of Aldermen on Oct. 15 voted 5-1 to ban over-the-counter pseudoephedrine, effective Nov. 15. The medicine will still be available with a doctor’s prescription. Alderman John Diehl (Ward 3) was the only one opposed. Pseudoephedrine is the key ingredient used to create meth but also is found in many allergy drugs, including Claritin-D, Sudafed and Zyrtec-D. The new legislation was created in the hopes of curbing makers of meth as well as meth labs. As previously reported in West Newsmagazine, aldermen, residents, police and members of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America and Consumer Healthcare Products Association have debated both sides of the issue. Concerns included decreasing drug sales for businesses, availability of the medication during doctors’ off-hours and whether the issue should be dealt with at a city or state level. Proponents of the ban cited a reduction in shoplifting and meth labs in areas where a ban exists. The new legislation will go into effect 15 days after Maryland Heights-based Highland Pharmaceuticals is expected to release Zephrex-D, a new decongestant that is said to have the same effect of pseudoephedrine but cannot be converted into meth. The new drug will be available Nov. 1 at a few national chains and local stores.
TOWN & COUNTRY Clayton Road resurfacing The city of Town & Country has approved a bill sponsored by Alderman Lynn Wright (Ward 1) to continue the second stage of the Clayton Road improvement project, from Oak Springs Lane to the eastern city limits. Included in the project is the resurfacing of the 1.53-mile stretch of Clayton Road and the addition of a 1.46-mile multi-use pedestrian trail. The 8-foot-wide path will be ADA compliant and will make conditions safer for pedestrians and bicyclists by creating a pathway where none previously existed. Construction is anticipated to start after
the first of the year. According to the municipality, the traffic impact was minor in the first phase and is anticipated to cause no concern for major traffic backups during the second phase of resurfacing. At its Oct. 8 meeting, the Board of Aldermen agreed to the terms of the second phase of the Clayton Road Resurfacing and Pedestrian Enhancements Plan and reached an agreement with the CDG Engineers for the project costs. This phase of the project is quoted as having a total budget of $2,242,473, which will come largely from grants provided by East-West Gateway Council of Governments and the Federal Highway Administration. Additional funds will come from the municipality’s Road Fund. The project, which began with planning in 2008, is anticipated to be complete in the spring of 2013.

Improvements at Longview Farm Park At its Oct. 8 meeting, the Town & Country Board of Aldermen unanimously authorized Anne Dixon, director of parks and recreation, to apply for a municipal park grant to increase parking at Longview Farm Park, located at 13525 Clayton Road. Alderman Skip Mange (Ward 1) noticed a few years ago that overflow parking had become a problem with park goers attending Longview Farm Park. “We formed a special committee, conducted a traffic study and zeroed in on the need to create 15 new parking spaces,” Mange said. The project will also include the reconfiguration of park entrances. This portion of the project is expected to improve safety along Clayton Road by reducing the number of curb cuts from four to two and by creating only one entrance and one exit. The 15 additional parking spaces will help accommodate park pavilion rental and Longview Farm House rental crowds. However, the net result of adding the spaces is a loss of 100 square feet of green space. Dixon said the total parking project cost is estimated at $141,916. The grant application is due Oct. 26. “We feel pretty confident that we will receive the funding because the grant commission works on a point basis and we think we will be ranked pretty well,” Mange said. If given the grant, the project is expected to be complete by the summer of 2013.

St. Louis County Police respond to area concerns about serial rapist she was attacked. The attacker approached from the back, grabbed the woman by the neck and dragged her to a grassy area where she was sexually assaulted. The attack happened at approximately 9:30 p.m. In all three attacks – the first in April 2011, the next in June 2011 during which the victim fought off the attacker, and the most recent in September 2012 – the suspect was described as an Hispanic male, approximately 40 years old, 5-foot-6-inches to 5-foot-8-inches tall, medium build with short black hair and a small amount of facial hair. No tattoos were noted and there was no smell of drugs or alcohol on the attacker. The victim from the September attack mentioned he had a smoker’s cough.

Creve Coeur P&Z considers a request to rezone former Belle Maison property By KATE UPTERGROVE While the Cardinals were battling the Giants on Oct. 15, some Creve Coeur residents were not in front of their televisions. Instead, they were packed into a Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Most of those in attendance were there to protest the rezoning of the former Belle Maison subdivision from single-family residential with a residential design development (RDD) approval to a planned residential development allowing 10 single-family residential lots, a 180-bed skilled care facility and a 160-unit senior living facility. The property in question is the proposed future site of Delmar Gardens Creve Coeur Renaissance. Located along Ladue Road, west of I-270, the property has Parkway Northwest Middle School as its northeast neighbor and the Ladue Pines subdivision as its neighbor to the south. The majority of the protestors in attendance were residents of Ladue Pines. Chief among their complaints was increased traffic congestion on Ladue Road; however, Shawn White, of Crawford, Bunte, Brammeier, transportation and traffic engineers,
described the situatioin as a “roughly 2 percent increase to current Ladue Road traffic.” White’s projection is based on a comprehensive traffic study conducted in 2010-2011. In conducting the study, White indicated that particular attention was given to analyzing traffic flow during peak hours when parents and buses are dropping off and picking up students from Northeast Middle. She noted that while the Missouri Department of Transportation denied Delmar Gardens’ request for a traffic signal or roundabout on Ladue Road, it did conclude that “a left-turn lane into the site was warranted.” White also noted that the entrance to the site would be a shared entrance with Care and Counseling St. Louis, located at 12141 Ladue Road, to help ease congestion at the entrance of Ladue Pines. Creve Coeur resident Judy Campbell was among the residents to speak during the public comment portion of the evening. She shared the example of her family visiting her father in a skilled nursing facility and made mention of a proposed day care center on the Renaissance site. Then she
questioned, “How many clients are going to be coming in and going out? How many employees? How many visitors? It’s going to shut down Ladue.” Judy Wasserman, who referenced a petition with 123 signatures in opposition to the rezoning, echoed Campbell’s concerns. “The Planning and Zoning Commission has a choice,” she said, “preserve Ladue Road or destroy it.” However, not all residents were opposed to the rezoning request. George Hansford, who owns 4 acres west of the site, spoke in favor of the development. “I met with Delmar Gardens and talked about my issues and they have corrected all the erosion problems that I had on my property. ... I want closure on the property. It’s been 12 years, four owners, many different proposals. I just think this bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,” Hansford said. Delmar Gardens’ effort to correct a drainage problem that exists on the property also brought forth remarks from Brian Thornquist, who lives on property “that has been described as the mudslide area.”
He noted that the solution proposed by Delmar Gardens, which includes an underground storm water collection and treatment reservoir, appears to be the best solution to correct the drainage problem. “But that doesn’t necessarily mean the whole project should be approved,” he said. He shared a personal experience about having a loved one in assisted living care and then offered the commission some words of advice. “It’s a complicated request they’ve made,” Thornquist said, “and I would ask that the commission continue to evaluate everything they told you tonight and spend more time thinking about the need that might come up 20 years from now for our aging population.” At the start of the meeting, Paul Langdon, Creve Coeur’s director of community development, presented his assessment of the project and offered a favorable opinion for P&Z to continue its evaluation. Delmar Gardens also had a chance to present its development plans. The discussion will continue at the P&Z meeting on Nov. 5.

Ballwin to allow hunting on private property By JIM ERICKSON Deer are now fair game in Ballwin. The city’s Board of Aldermen has approved an ordinance allowing deer hunting by bow and arrow, subject to a number of rules and regulations. The new law is designed to control the deer population in the city and to protect persons and property from the damage deer can cause, including traffic accidents. Approval came at the Board’s Oct. 8 meeting on a 6-1 vote. Alderman Kathy Kerlagon (Ward 4) opposed the measure, saying she had received feedback from residents objecting to the hunting ordinance and that she personally enjoys seeing and watching the animals. Among other things, the new law: • Prohibits the use of crossbows, allowing only longbows and compound bows. • Allows hunting only during the deer season set the Missouri Department of Conservation or other specific time set by the city. Hunting also is subject to all state regulations. • Requires that hunting be done on tracts of land of at least 1 acre. Adjacent property owners may combine their parcels to satisfy the restrictions prohibiting arrows from landing closer than specified to front, side and rear property lines. • Calls for property owners and hunters to provide liability insurance or an indemnity bond. The combined coverage must be no less than $2 million. • Requires hunters to receive permission from property owners to go on their land and to have completed an approved archery hunter safety course. • Demands that hunting be conducted from an elevated position facing into the property and requires that arrows be marked with the hunter’s state identification number. • Forbids persons from possessing, consuming or being under the influence of alcohol while engaged in hunting. • Requires property owners to notify city
police when hunting is scheduled on their land and who will be involved. • Contains provisions dealing with the retrieval of wounded and dead deer. Except for Kerlagon, no residents spoke against the hunting ordinance, but the measure had several vocal supporters, including Lou Salamone of Suburban Bowhunters. A Ballwin resident, Salamone said the ordinance contained the safeguards, requirements and other provisions needed to ensure that hunting would be conducted safely. While supporting the measure, Alderman Frank Fleming (Ward 3) asked the Board to approve an amendment to prohibit hunting in parks and on other city property. The original ordinance already ruled out discharging an arrow within 150 yards of any church, school or playground. The Board unanimously approved the change. Alderman Richard Boerner (Ward 4) said the threat of deer-vehicle collisions had made him reluctant to drive in some areas, especially at night. Alderman Mark Harder (Ward 2) recalled an incident earlier this year when a local woman was knocked down by a stampeding deer in a commercial area. The woman was injured and had to be hospitalized. The deer hunting ordinance went into effect with its passage by the Board and approval by Mayor Tim Pogue. ••• Correction: In the Oct. 10 issue of West Newsmagazine, it was reported that Ellisville currently has an ordinance that allows bow hunting on private lots of 3 acres of more. That statement should have read that Ellisville is currently considering a bill that would allow bow hunting on lots of 3 acres or more. At this time Ellisville does not allow hunting within its city limits. West Newsmagazine regrets this error.

The original ordinance is modeled on a Missouri statute that was challenged and is not directly affected by the Oct. 16 ruling. “So if those towns or any town within the 8th Circuit wanted to use Manchester’s ordinance as a model, they’re certainly free to do it,” Reid said.

Softball exposure tournaments promise big boost for Chesterfield businesses By Carol Enright Some of the country’s most talented young softball players will be swinging for the fences during the Women’s Softball Exposure Tournaments at the Chesterfield Valley Athletic Complex (CVAC) over the next couple of weekends – and local businesses expect sales to soar. The event, deemed among the top three nationwide, is expected attract some 250 college coaches eager to scout high school players from 18 states and Canada. The first of the two tournaments will take place Oct. 26-28 and feature 146 teams. Approximately 125 teams will participate the second weekend, Nov. 2-4, which was added this year due to high demand. The tournaments are not about winning games, but, as the name suggests, getting exposure. Celeste Knierim, one of three tournament directors, was the women’s softball coach at St. Louis Community College at Meramec for 30 years. She said showcase tournaments are invaluable for college coaches with little time to travel around watching high school games. “To go and watch a couple of high school games, that takes up your whole day to watch two teams,” she said. “You go out to an exposure tournament or showcase like ours, you have 14 fields, you have 28 teams playing every hour and a half.” Vicki Schneider, also a tournament director, said that at other big national tournaments the games are held in “so many different locations.” “This is just one location where the coaches can come and scope out the whole complex and not worry about having to go to a different site to see a team,” said Schneider. Area businesses are expecting to profit from a largely captive audience that will spend two weekends lodging, eating and shopping in Chesterfield and surrounding cities. “It’s great because it fills some weekend rooms, not just for my hotel, but for others in the Chesterfield and surrounding
St. Louis area,” said Jeff Barker, general manager of the Drury Plaza in Chesterfield. “Also, with Chesterfield Mall located next to us, it’s a nice boost for all the restaurants and the mall, in general.” Barker added that the tournament comes at an opportune time for hotels. “The fall/winter hotel market is a little bit softer than summer, obviously, so it’s been a great piece of business for hotels in the area,” he said. In 2011, Knierim said that players, their families, coaches and umpires maxed out Chesterfield hotel rooms for 1,123 room nights and spent another 1,939 room nights at hotels in surrounding cities. Knierim estimated that this year’s two-weekend tournament will fill over 3,300 room nights in Chesterfield and about 4,900 room nights in cities nearby. A city of Chesterfield survey conducted after last year’s tournament showed that 35 percent of visitors shopped at Chesterfield Mall at least once, spending an average of $222. Ninety-five percent shopped or dined at other Chesterfield businesses. Nearly 8 percent spent more than $1,000 during their stay, and 89 percent shelled out up to $700. Zachary Dupuy, general manager of the Subway in Chesterfield Commons, said he expects the tournaments to drive about a 25-percent increase in business. Jeff Greene, owner/operator of the Chick-Fil-A in Chesterfield Valley agreed. “When you look at something like 146 or 120 teams, like what we expect those two weekends, obviously, it’s going to drive a tremendous amount of volume, specifically in the Commons,” he said. Mayor Bruce Geiger called the tournaments an “outstanding opportunity to showcase one of the finest athletic complexes in the Midwest” and encouraged the community to take in some of the action. The tournaments are free and open to the public. Games run from 8 a.m.-10 p.m. For more information, visit eteamz.com/ STLEXPOSURE.

By SARAH WILSON The city of Wildwood on Oct. 11 hosted an open house session for the community to see how residents feel about its proposed plan for a Community Park, a 66-acre parcel of ground that will be located along the intersection of State Routes 100 and 109. Among the list of amenities for the proposed plan are a dog park, playgrounds for young and older children, an all-inclusive play area for all ages, ponds, a pavilion, exercise equipment and a large trail. Councilmember Randy Ladd (Ward 2) said the park “is going to be beautiful.”
The park also will encourage sustainability, as it will be in a central location that encourages bikes and pedestrian connectivity and maximizes public access. The design also aims to celebrate Wildwood’s native oak woodlands, prairie pockets and the overlap that creates an oak savanna. Bill Burke, of Oates Associates, landscape architect and manager for the project, said residents’ reactions to the plan are two-fold. “‘Yay, it’s going to be a park, and it’s continuing to move forward,’” Burke said. “The second has been a consistent message from the first phase, which is, ‘If we live near the park, we have these concerns and issues,’ which we’ve realized and we’ve addressed in this park.” Resident questions and concerns have been mostly in regard to noise, lighting and adjacency to different amenities. “But I think once we explain to them what we’re doing then they’ll feel like we’ve been good listeners in doing it,” Burke said. He said, going back to a resident survey in 2010, the main amenities that residents were excited about were picnicking, playgrounds and walking trails. Oates Associates and Nelson Byrd Woltz in July were hired to create construction drawings for Phase I of the Community Park, which will ultimately be utilized for bidding purposes. “I think it will be unique, and it seems like it’s been getting good support,” Burke said.

The 3rd Annual Oktoberfest/Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk to Cure Diabetes was a personal event for Chesterfield resident Kelly Klein and her mom Ally Bartholomew. Kelly, 22, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was 8. Type 1 diabetes can strike at any age. In fact, half of all new cases are diagnosed in adults. “You can’t prevent it. You can’t outgrow it. That’s why we walk,” said Marie Davis, executive director of JDRF Greater Missouri and Southern Illinois Chapter. On Sept. 29, more than 1,500 people Chesterfield residents Kelly Klein and Ally (Dave Myers photo) came together in St. Charles’ Frontier Bartholomew Park to walk and raise funds – more than $66,000 – for the research to better treat, cure and prevent type 1 diabetes.

Ballwin to end 2012 fiscally strong, projected to grow stronger in 2013 By JIM ERICKSON The city of Ballwin expects to wind up the 2012 budget year on target, with revenues currently projected to be slightly above what was anticipated and expenditures somewhat below. Robert Kuntz, city administrator, shared those expectations with the Ballwin Board of Aldermen at a special budget study session Oct. 8. The major unknown in the budget projections is the timing of federal reimbursement for costs associated with the Kehrs Mill Road improvement project, Kuntz said. Trend information and actual receipts through the first nine months of 2012 put city revenues on track to exceed budget
projections by about $425,000 while expenditures should wind up about $595,000 less than expected, Kuntz explained. Another piece of good news is that the city’s debt service outlays in 2013 will be well below the current year. According to Kuntz, debt obligations will be $624,000, compared with $1.628 million in 2012. Also, the city’s capital lease debt will be about $58,000 lower in 2013. Kuntz offered an anticipated timetable for budget preparation, consideration and approval that included specific steps at
upcoming Board meetings, with official adoption of the 2013 plan set for Dec. 10. At the same meeting, Linda Bruer, director of parks and recreation, gave the Board a list of proposed capital expenditures for 2013 totaling just over $1 million, with anticipated grants and other fund sources reducing the net cost to just over $700,000. The largest single project would be the first phase of improvements at Ferris Park. Bruer said the projected expense of $393,000 could be offset with a $310,000 grant the city hopes to receive from St.
Louis County municipal park funds. Other major capital projects include: • $250,000 for HVAC updates and an initial phase of interior improvements at The Pointe at Ballwin Commons. • $264,000 at the Ballwin golf course for a parking lot overlay, cart path resealing and replacement of Ameren parking lot lighting fixtures, mowing equipment, a utility vehicle and six golf carts. Expenditures at other parks and replacement of a 14-year-old utility/cargo van also were in the overall list.
Chesterfield Council OKs Black Friday hours By CAROL ENRIGHT On Oct. 15, the Chesterfield City Council approved by a vote of 6-1 to amend a city ordinance and allow Chesterfield retailers to extend their hours of operation on the day after Thanksgiving – Black Friday. According to city officials, last year about a half-dozen retailers in the Chesterfield Commons opened at midnight the day after Thanksgiving, openly violating a city ordinance restricting their hours of operation. City officials said these stores were fined in amounts ranging from $100 to $300, a fee that would seem a small price of doing business on the year’s busiest shopping day. Councilmember Connie Fults (Ward 4) was the only member of the City Council to vote against loosening the restrictions on retailers’ hours of operation. “If there is one thing that the residents have spoken out on many of these developments, again and again, and worked very hard on was to control the hours of operation, especially that of the Commons. With many, many meetings and a lot of hours put in by the residents, it was clear they did not want 24-hour retail in the city of Chesterfield. It was clear they wanted the restrictions that were brought forth in many of these ordinances,” Fults said before the vote. After the meeting, Fults expressed concern that relaxing the restrictions on Black Friday could lead to a slippery slope in which retailers would press to extend their hours of operation around other holidays, such as the day after Christmas and the day after New Year’s. Mayor Bruce Geiger said he understood Fults’ concern, but that the ordinance was aimed at “one day” and he did not foresee a future in which the city would allow extended hours of operation surrounding other major holidays.

Proposition A Shall Missouri law be amended to: • allow any city not within a county (the City of St. Louis) the option of transferring certain obligations and control of the city’s police force from the board of police commissioners currently appointed by the governor to the city and establishing a municipal police force; • establish certain procedures and requirements for governing such a municipal police force including residency, rank, salary, benefits, insurance, and pension; and • prohibit retaliation against any employee of such municipal police force who reports conduct believed to be illegal to a superior, government agency, or the press? State governmental entities estimated savings will eventually be up to $500,000 annually. Local governmental entities estimated annual potential savings of $3.5 million; however, consolidation decisions with an unknown outcome may result in the savings being more or less than estimated. Proposition B Shall Missouri law be amended to: • create the Health and Education Trust Fund with proceeds of a tax of $0.0365 per cigarette and 25% of the manufacturer’s invoice price for roll-your-own tobacco and 15% for other tobacco products; • use Fund proceeds to reduce and prevent tobacco use and for elementary, secondary, college, and university public school funding; and • increase the amount that certain tobacco product manufacturers must maintain in their escrow accounts, to pay judgments
or settlements, before any funds in escrow can be refunded to the tobacco product manufacturer and create bonding requirements for these manufacturers? Estimated additional revenue to state government is $283 million to $423 million annually with limited estimated implementation costs or savings. The revenue will fund only programs and services allowed by the proposal. The fiscal impact to local governmental entities is unknown. Escrow fund changes may result in an unknown increase in future state revenue. Proposition E Shall Missouri Law be amended to prohibit the Governor or any state agency, from establishing or operating state-based health insurance exchanges unless authorized by a vote of the people or by the legislature? No direct costs or savings for state and local governmental entities are expected from this proposal. Indirect costs or savings related to enforcement actions, missed federal funding, avoided implementation costs, and other issues are unknown.

Enrollment at Marquette and Eureka high schools increased, with Eureka High experiencing a 2 percent increase in enrollment.
Rockwood’s official student enrollment for the 2012-2013 school year is 21,951. This count is 250 students less than 20112012’s official enrollment count of 22,201 students.

Parkway North Vikings finish first The Parkway North High Viking marching band, under the direction of Mark Linn and Andrew LaRose, took first place in their division in the Washington Marching Band Festival on Oct. 6. North High’s marching band competed in the field competition with seven other bands in class A, the large band category. In addition, North High had the highest overall score for all divisions out of 18 high school bands. The North High color guard finished second in their division and third overall, and the North High percussion students placed third out of the 18 schools participating. Now in its 44th year, the festival featured 35 schools and about 2,100 students in the parade and field competitions.
Student Board nominations Eureka High School students Savya Hingorani and Nathan Vorel and Marquette High School student Neil Shah are among a dozen students from the area selected to Hingorani serve on the inaugural Student Board of the Federal Reserve Bank. Nominated by their teachers and chosen by St. Louis Fed staff, the students will serve as liaisons between St. Louis Vorel area schools and the St. Louis Fed. The students will meet every other month to learn about and discuss economics and personal finance, and listen to speakers on topics, such as leadership Shah development and career planning. They also will compete for two summer internships. The new program is part of the organization’s ongoing effort to reach educators, students and the general public with educational materials that cover personal finance and economics.

Budnick presented her idea, “Pennies for Pooches,” to the school administrator and staff, and was allowed to run her project during the first two weeks of October. “Pennies for Pooches” was a class-based competition with each team being represented by an adoptable dog from Open Door Animal Sanctuary. “I’m very impressed with the combination of initiative, leadership and follow through shown by Lauren as she led us through this service project,” said Tom Keller, school administrator at Living Water Academy. “She truly embodies the qualities of a leader with a servant’s heart that we seek to instill in each of our Living Water Academy students.” Budnick’s fundraising efforts totaled $1,000, which was presented to Tracie Quackenbush, Open Door’s executive director.
Teaching global awareness Stephanie Barta, a full-day kindergarten teacher at Babler Elementary who also is pursuing certification in Global Awareness at Maryville University, has traveled to Morocco to teach and tour the country. “Our goal is to bring students together to learn more about each other’s cultures,” Barta said. “The best part of all of this is the way it has changed my planning practices and has instilled in me the need to think globally.” While away, Barta used Skype to connect with her students as well as sending photos and emails. Barta said the biggest advantage of the program has been the connections she has made with the teachers and students. “In addition to sharing strategies to promote cooperation and team building, we are working with teachers at the Moroccan Center for Civic Education to discuss global education,” Barta said. For her, this experience has re-emphasized the importance of understanding. “We have so many friends around the world to connect with and learn from,” she said.

By DIANE E. SAMSON In recognition of October being Disabilities History and Awareness Month, Rockwood School District will hold its first-ever Disabilities Fair on Oct. 25 from 3-6 p.m. at the Administrative Center Annex in Eureka. The fair is designed to help families who have children with disabilities learn about the resources available to provide support for their children. Many different agencies will have booths at the fair including the St. Louis Learning Disabilities Association, TASK– Team Activities for Special Kids, Autism Speaks and Special Olympics. Nikki Beichler, Rockwood’s special education/504 coordinator, came up with the idea while brainstorming how to do something bigger and better for October’s Disability History and Awareness mission. “There are so many students with disabilities, and there are so many resources out there that parents and families are not aware of, free resources even, that can help families in a variety of different ways,” Beichler said. “This fair can help connect them and help them find different things that they need to help their student with a disability.” Terri Jordan, parent of a Rockwood fifthgrader with a disability, is looking forward to the fair to learn more about TASK–Team Activities for Special Kids, which provides kids with athletic and social opportunities. Her son already is involved in different kinds of therapy including Equine Assistance Therapy and music therapy, but Jordan said she is excited to see what TASK has to offer. “Parents can get overwhelmed with everything going on with their child,” said Jordan. “It can be hard to see beyond the next day, and this is an opportunity for them to find some programs to help their child grow.” Jordan said the fair also will be excellent for the general public to attend because even if you don’t have a child with a dis-
ability, you might come across someone who has need of one of these agencies. “It also makes you more aware and understanding of people around you,” she said. “This is a chance to reinforce that everyone has something great about them something of value.” Rockwood parent Julie Loos said that the fair would be a great way to create a community of support. “When you can find another mom that has been down that road before you, you can learn from them and it can give you great comfort,” Loos said. Rockwood parent Dawn Loeppke doesn’t have a student with a disability but thinks the fair would be beneficial from an educational standpoint as well. “It would be nice if someone could educate us and our kids on how to best engage and interact with a person with a disability,” Loeppke said. Last year the Missouri State Legislature passed HB 555, which among other things designated October as Disability History and Awareness Month. The bill encouraged school districts to provide the students with instruction during the month that would increase their knowledge and awareness of individuals with disabilities as well as develop a school community that includes students with disabilities and acknowledges their unique talents and contributions. Beichler said a majority of the schools in the district have activities during October such as speakers and assemblies. “There are so many people who have disabilities and who are very successful and play important roles in our history,” Beichler said. “I think it’s great for kids to know that just because you have a disability doesn’t mean you are not going to be successful. You can persevere and overcome whatever disability you have and do some amazing things.”

Lafayette coach Sean O’Connor said he was glad to see the Lancers win a league title. “This is our first conference title since 2007 and before that our last conference title was in 2000 so it has been awhile since
we have been able to win the conference championship” O’Connor said. “It goes to show you just how deeply talented our conference is and (how) special it is to win a conference championship.” O’Connor said he was pleased with the victory. He believed his Lancers could pull it off. “After looking over all the previous results from this season, I thought that if we ran our race we would have a great chance to win,” O’Connor said. “You can

never be sure though when you are running against perennial conference powers like Marquette and Lindbergh.” Lafayette’s top three runners finished at No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6. Senior Derek Legenzoff’s time was 16:29.70. Senior Jordan West clocked in at 16:46.34, and freshman Dylan Quisenberry’s time was 17:02.02. “There weren’t any school records set, but Derek Legenzoff and Jordan West were close to their fastest times,” O’Connor said. “Tyler Laudeman, Jack Rogan and James Fox all ran their fastest times ever at Parkway Central, and Dylan Quisenberry ran a 17:02, which is his best time ever. Marquette junior Noah Kauppila was the meet medalist. He won in 15:59.59. It was his second conference championship. Marquette co-coach Melissa Burger said Kauppila continues to get better and better. “He’s had a great season and has already taken down the last school record (his own) by setting a personal record of 15:19 at Forest Park this year,” Burger said. “He continues to impress us with his work ethic and maturity in racing.” Marquette’s Adam Roderique was second in 16:12.07.
Suburban West Conference girls Marquette won the team race with 43 points. Lafayette was second with 46 points, and Eureka was third with 48. It was the seventh girls conference championship in Marquette’s 20-year history. However, it was the Mustangs’ first
league title since 2006. Eureka sophomore Hannah Long finished first in 18:08.57. Burger said she was pleased with the Mustangs’ performance. “Our conference has a lot of deep teams in it and so our main goal was to be competitive,” Burger said. “We went into the race ready to prove that the Marquette girls team is a contender in the championship races. Winning the title of conference champions was a great way to celebrate the girls’ hard work this year.” Freshman Hannah Pierson finished fifth in 19:38.15. It was a good race for her, Burger said. “Hannah is a driven and goal-oriented young woman,” Burger said. “It’s an outstanding achievement to finish among the top five in the Suburban West Conference, especially as a freshman. There’s a lot of pride associated with that.”
Metro Catholic Conference boys De Smet junior Austin Del Rosso won Metro Catholic Conference race in 16:13 at Forest Park. St. Louis University High won the meet with 23 points. De Smet was second with 47 points. Spartans coach Bryan Traughber said he thought Del Rosso was a potential conference medalist. “We expected a strong performance from Austin and we knew he was capable of challenging for the MCC title,” Traugh-

Parkway West wins Suburban South The dry spell is over for the Parkway West cross country girls team when it comes to league titles. Parkway West won the recent Suburban South Conference championship for the first time since 1993.

Longhorns sensa- Suburban South champs (from left): Megan Tully, Audra tional sophomore Maddy Hartwell, Brayton Riley, Maddy Brown, Irene Frederick, Brown won the race in 18 Rachel Yang and Lindsey Egan minutes, 37.7 seconds. Senior Lindsey Egan finished fourth in 19:44. “She ran the best time of her career,” said Parkway West coach Charles Cutelli. Underclassman sophomore Rachel Yang was 15th in 20:57. Freshman Brayton Riley was right behind in 20:58 and Irene Frederick clocked in at 20:58.9. “They run well as a pack and finished 15th, 16th and 18th,” Cutelli said. “Audra Hartwell and Megan Tully were our last two varsity runners. Everyone on the varsity squad ran a personal best, which was awesome. I told the girls every point counted and the score was a reflection of that.” ber said. “Austin is a true competitor and we are confident in his ability to race near the front of any race.” Del Rosso is the first conference champ for De Smet since 2004 when Ben Famous won. Traughber said Del Rosso turned in a good performance. “Austin ran a smart race. He put himself in a good position as he established a slight lead by the 2-mile mark,” Traughber said. “Shortly after the 2-mile split, he made a strong move and went for the win.” It was a great effort in a solid season for Del Rosso. “Austin has had an outstanding season and he has established himself as one of the area’s top runners,” Traughber said. “He continues to progress from week to week, and we feel that his best races are yet to come.” Overall, Traughber said he was happy with his runners. “We were pleased with our second place showing,” Traughber said. “All six our varsity runners ran well. Collin Sullivan (16:44) continues to impress especially with his ability to pass people in the last mile, while Michael Callahan (17:12), Patrick Callahan (17:24), Stephen Plassmeyer (17:27) and Andrew Hubbard (17:43) all ran a personal best.”

Sisters help Marquette High earn first-ever Suburban Conference title By WARREN MAYES A sisters’ act has helped the Marquette Mustangs capture their first Suburban Conference championship in the field hockey program’s history. Marquette coach Richard Regina has two pairs of sisters playing this season for the Mustangs – freshman Carly Dyer and junior Brooke Dyer and sophomore Jessica Dunlap and senior Kelly Dunlap. Carly is a starting forward. Brooke is a midfielder. Jessica is a starting forward who has played varsity since her freshman year. Kelly is a defender who was a 2011 All Conference selection as well as a starter on the 2010 Final Four team. “It is definitely an interesting dynamic having two pairs of sisters on the same team playing significant quality minutes,” Regina said. Kelly played high school field hockey for the first time during her sophomore year. “Immediately, we felt the impact,” Regina said. “After just a few weeks on the JV, she got promoted to varsity, landed a starting spot on defense and played a vital role in us advancing to the Final Four. I would not necessarily call her a natural field hockey player, but man, is she a competitor and tireless worker on whatever athletic field she competes.” Besides field hockey, Kelly also plays soccer and basketball at Marquette. She has been on the varsity of those sports since her sophomore year. Jessica is a forward and a two-year starter. She adapts well to wherever she is on the field. “Jessica actually is playing forward out of necessity for us as we have been battling injuries,” Regina said. “Ideally, she would play midfield as her fitness level is second to none and she can get up and down the field for 60 minutes. As a forward, she does a really good job of getting a shot off when she has it, and that ultimately leads to rebounds if it does not score.” She also plays soccer and was a varsity soccer player as a freshman last spring. “Playing with my sister (Kelly) is both a challenge … and reassuring,” Jessica said. “My sister and I sometimes disagree about field hockey, but I trust her to make smart, game-oriented decisions that help Marquette win. “When my sister is out there playing with me, she brings real energy and an urgency to win that really rubs off on the rest of the team. I know I can trust Kelly to perform her role as both a player and captain.” Regina said Kelly does take command on the field. “Kelly is more vocal,” Regina said. “The two of them are driven in everything they do. Both are leaders and a key reason our
team has the mental toughness it does.” Brooke is a midfielder who contributes to the Mustangs’ success. “Brooke starts some of the games, but when she does not, she still gives the team quality minutes on the field,” Regina said. “She accepts her role and knows it is an important one. She does not come into the game to just give a player rest; she plays because she can impact the game. “Brooke is a smart player, and she knows where to be. She can make a play and find the open player for us; she is very versatile.” “It’s so cool to have my sister on the same team,” Brooke said. “We work together so well partly because we know each other’s strengths and play on those. We played together on our club team during the spring so we had time to get used to it and it’s such a neat thing that not everyone gets to experience. “This season is incredibly exciting. We are first time conference champs and we have a great team chemistry so it’s absolutely so much fun.” Carly is a starter at forward. She is talented and that’s why she is starting as a freshman, Regina said. “Carly is a natural in field hockey. She has been varsity caliber since she was in seventh grade,” Regina said. “She is one of the few players in the area that can create her own shot, and she does this as a freshman. You combine that with her drive for perfection, and Marquette has a game changer on the field. “By putting her on the field, it is worth at least a goal whether it is hers or her setting up someone else. Also, she handles the pressure very well for a freshmen knowing the team is counting on her for offense. She plays like a senior in so many ways.” Carly said her older sister helps her. “We help each other out,” Carly said. “It’s also easier creating different plays with her from practicing them in the backyard so many times.” “Bottom line, all four of them have the same goal to win,” Regina said, “so that quells much of the friction that would normally exist. It also helps that they play different positions, have different skills sets, all play huge roles, and they are on a very successful team. It is hard to be unhappy with that. “I remind myself every day that I am very lucky to coach the girls I do at Marquette. As a varsity team last year, we had a 3.97 GPA, many players members of National Honor Society, and so many that take a rigorous load of classes. You combine that with them competing on the field at such a high level, and I know I am around the best of the best at Marquette. Those four are a big part of the culture that has developed in the field hockey program.”

A 2012 Pedal the Cause rider stops to refuel at mile No. 48.2, located on a parking lot of Barnes Jewish West County Hospital.
Pedal the Cause nets $1.5 million for cancer research More than 1,850 St. Louisans participated the weekend of Oct. 6 and 7 in “Pedal the Cause” for local cancer research. This year’s cycling challenge, founded in 2010 by Bill Koman, raised $1.5 million, 100 percent of which will be used to fund research at Siteman Cancer Center, St. Louis Children’s Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine. “The money that St. Louisans raised (this year) will help fund research projects, which may someday prove vital in providing a cure for one or more types of cancer,” Jay Indovino, Pedal the Cause executive director, said. “Last year’s proceeds are currently at work funding 12 research projects, including four focused on cures for cancers affecting children. This research could ultimately lead to a cure for a disease that strikes one in two men and one in three women.” The 2012 event kicked off with the Pedal the Cause Kids Challenge and a Saturday evening program featuring NewsChannel 5’s Leisa Zigman and former St. Louis Rams linebacker Chris Draft. Sunday’s cycling challenge featured several courses,
stretching from downtown to West County and back again. Participants were of all ages and skill levels and included many teams of cancer survivors, medical professionals or others riding to honor a loved one. Donations can be made through Oct. 31 at pedalthecause.org. Total 2012 donations will be announced on Nov. 15.
Arsenic in rice The latest issue of “Consumer Reports” features an article stating that the magazine found organic rice baby cereal, rice breakfast cereals, brown and white rice and other types of rice products contain arsenic, “many at worrisome levels.” (“Arsenic in Your Food,” November 2012). “In virtually every product tested, we found measurable amounts of total arsenic in its two forms,” the story states. “We found significant levels of inorganic arsenic, which is a carcinogen, in almost every product category, along with organic arsenic, which is less toxic but still of concern. Moreover, the foods we checked are popular staples, eaten by adults and children alike.” “Consumer Reports” cited “worrisome” levels of arsenic in cereals typically con-

sumed by babies 4-12 months of age and recommends that parents limit babies’ consumption of infant rice cereal to a single serving per day, on average. Late last month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration released the first part of an ongoing study of arsenic in foods and reported that results of its testing of about 200 samples of rice and rice products appeared to be consistent with results from the “Consumer Reports” testing. However, the FDA did not recommend that consumers alter their consumption of products containing rice and maintained that it would be premature to recommend modifying diets until completion of a more thorough analysis. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) weighed in on the matter also, stating that the two reports’ findings “are that arsenic is present in quantities that might increase an individual’s life-time risk of cancer when children consume typical amounts of rice products.” “While additional research, including the results of the ongoing FDA study, will be needed to provide detailed recommendations, the American Academy of Pediatrics believes that at the individual level, offering children a variety of foods, including products made from oats and wheat, will decrease children’s exposure to arsenic derived from rice,” the AAP said in a Sept. 19 news release. “In addition, if parents raise questions about arsenic in juice products, they can be reminded that it is not necessary to offer children any juice in a well-balanced, healthy diet; and that for years the AAP has recommended limited intake of all sweet beverages, including juice.” To read the “Consumer Reports” story, visit consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2012/11/ index.htm. The FDA’s report can be found at fda.gov/Food/FoodSafety/FoodContaminantsAdulteration/Metals/ucm319870.htm.
Happy foods A large-scale study suggests that happiness and mental health are highest among those who eat seven daily portions of fruits and vegetables. University of Warwick researchers who examined eating habits of 80,000 people in Britain found that mental well-being appeared to improve with the number of

portions of fruits and vegetables people consumed per day, with well-being peaking at seven servings a day. The study did not distinguish among varieties of fruits and vegetables consumed and defined a portion as roughly 80 grams. “Is Psychological Well-being Linked to the Consumption of Fruit and Vegetables?” was conducted in conjunction with Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. At press time, it is scheduled for publication in Social Indicators Research.
Obesity rates on the rise The proportion of Americans who are severely obese continues to increase rapidly, according to a new study by the RAND Corporation, a not-for-profit research organization. The RAND study looked at more than 3 million people and found that from 2000-2010, the proportion of Americans who were 100 or more pounds overweight rose from 3.9 percent to 6.6 percent – an increase of roughly 70 percent. While the heaviest Americans continue to get even heavier, beginning in 2005, that trend began to slow somewhat. “The proportion of people at the high end of the weight scale continues to increase faster than any other group of obese people, despite increased public attention on the risks of obesity,” said Roland Sturm, lead author of the study. The prevalence of severe obesity was about 50 percent higher among women than men, and for all levels of obesity, increases were faster among people younger than 40. To be “severely obese,” a person must have a body mass index (BMI), which is the ratio of weight to height, of 40 or higher. The typical severely obese man is 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighs 300 pounds; a typical severely obese woman is 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighs 250 pounds. People with a BMI of 25 to 29 are considered overweight, while a BMI of 30 or more classifies a person as being obese. For a 5-foot-10 inch male, a BMI of 30 translates into being 35 pounds too heavy. The National Institute of Child & Human Development and the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality supported the study.

Where’s the fat? You can’t see it with the naked eye, but visceral fat seems to raise the risk for diabetes. Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center looked at about seven years of data on more than 700 obese individuals and compared visceral fat – the kind found around organs – with other fat, such as the kind that results in potbellies. “People in the highest third of visceral fat had over three times greater likelihood of getting diabetes that people in the bottom third,” Ian Neeland, one of the researchers, said. Researchers found no additional risk of diabetes for those whose fat was not the visceral type. Because visceral fat levels are not discernable without expensive imaging, Neeland said he advises controlling fat all over. The study appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association and was supported by the National Institutes of Health.
Some adults and teens need chickenpox vaccine The vaccine for chickenpox, or varicella, became available in 1996, and since that time, the number of chickenpox cases has fallen about 80 percent. But according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a lot of people still are not fully vaccinated, which makes them vulnerable. “The varicella vaccine is recommended for children, who should get two doses, with the first dose given and 12 to 15 months of age, and the second at 4 to 6 years of age,” CDC researcher Adriana Lopez said. Teens and adults who never have had chickenpox should also get two doses, at least 28 days apart.
No need to brace yourself Upon review of 29 studies on treatment following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery, a team of orthopaedic surgeons concluded that wearing a knee brace postsurgery has no effect on a person’s recovery. Physicians did conclude, however, that exercises to improve strength, range of motion and functionality have significant benefits. “The most important thing for ACL surgery patients is to start physical therapy early and rigorously,” said Dr. Rick W. Wright, co-chief of the sports medicine department at the Washington University Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. “It can be difficult at first, but it’s worth it in terms of returning to sports and other activities.”

By SUE HORNOF A poignant letter penned this past summer by a woman in Wisconsin has prompted an art exhibit in Chesterfield, a fundraiser for Stray Rescue of St. Louis and a drawing for a lifelike pet portrait valued at $1,000. In July, Wisconsin resident Chelsea Lager sent a heartfelt note to Curt Parker, an accomplished artist who lives in Wildwood, thanking him for capturing on canvas her pet cocker spaniel, Winslow. Lager’s mother is a client of Art Trends Gallery in Chesterfield, which carries some of Parker’s art, and gave her daughter the painting after Winslow had been put down. “(When) my mom showed me that painting, I lost it!” Lager wrote. “It was him! It was Winslow! “… I will never be able to express in words or thank you enough for what you have given me. … You gave me back my Winslow, and for that I owe you everything.” Parker has been painting animal portraits since the late 1970s, and in those days, he focused mostly on wildlife subjects but kept getting requests to paint people’s pets – a commission he takes very seriously. “I suddenly felt the pressure to perform, almost like an athlete in an important game,” Parker said. “That is, when someone commissions me to paint their dog or cat, they are asking me to paint a member of the family. There’s no other way to look at our relationship with our pets; they are members of the family.” Art Trends Gallery owner Kent Kehr
was so moved by the emotion exhibited in Lager’s letter and by her appreciation of Parker’s art that he decided to hold a monthlong Curt Parker Animal Art Exhibit at the gallery and in conjunction with the exhibit, conduct a drawing for a Curt Parker pet portrait. In addition, a portion of proceeds from the sale of Parker’s art during the exhibit will be donated to Stray Rescue of St. Louis. The Curt Parker exhibit will open with a “Meet the Artist” reception from 4-8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27 at Art Trends Gallery, 703 Long Road Crossing Drive in Chesterfield Valley. Food and beverages will be served, and guests will have the opportunity to register to win a 16-by-20 inch framed Curt Parker pet portrait valued at $1,000. Registration for the drawing will continue throughout the exhibit, which runs through Friday, Nov. 30, at which time the winner’s name will be drawn. The winner need not be present for the drawing. Nancy Dorwart, gallery manager at Art Trends, said the winner of the portrait will not be disappointed. “The thing about Curt is that every fur, every hair – every whatever – it’s perfect,” Dorwart said. “He is so meticulous.” Parker works from photographs, either those he takes himself or those taken by his clients. “I guarantee my work and have yet to have had one rejected in over 35 years. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve painted horses and even a pair of matched Missouri mules,” he said. For more on Parker and his art, visit CurtParkerAnimalArt.com.

By BETSY ZATKULAK Variety the Children’s Charity of St. Louis is celebrating its 80th anniversary with a sparkling performance of “Annie” presented by Variety Children’s Theatre (VCT), one of Variety’s most notable programs. “We chose ‘Annie’ because it’s about an orphan, harking back to Variety’s beginnings,” said Jan Albus, Variety’s CEO and executive producer. “The first Variety child was an orphan left in a theatre 80 years ago, in the late 1920s. Annie is an orphan struggling to survive in the Great Depression. It’s the perfect show for us.” Variety has helped thousands of St. Louis kids with disabilities say, “I can” by providing equipment and educational, recreational and therapeutic programs, like VCT. VCT also has gained national recognition, having won an Art Works grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to support the production of “Annie.” “We’re just thrilled. This is the first national recognition of the program – a program which is so unique,” Albus said. “Many theatre programs include a child living with a disability on stage in some way, but our program is the only one we know of that includes this many on stage working alongside other professional theatre kids.” Twenty Variety Kids will perform, and 12 Variety Teens will be backstage shadowing professionals – all with disabilities ranging from cerebral palsy and spina bifida to Down syndrome and autism. Lily Manning, of Ballwin, a talented 11-year-old who has autism and cerebral palsy, is ready to take the stage in her role as the orphan, Shelley. She and another actor are the first children with disabilities to win lead roles in a VCT production. “Lily was adopted from Taiwan,” said
Vici Manning, who with her husband adopted Lily when she was 11 months old. “Our story kind of fits the theme of ‘Annie’ and the non-traditional family.” Like Annie, Lily has quite a voice. “Lily has always been a singer; she just needed a stage,” Albus said. “Lily’s a kid who doesn’t let her developmental delays hold her back.” Working side-by-side with children with disabilities does wonders for all kids in the cast. Nine-year-old Chesterfield resident Kaylee Ryan has a lead orphan role as Molly, the youngest orphan. She once was shy and sometimes struggled with confidence – that is, until after her first audition she was cast as a guppy in the Muny’s “The Little Mermaid.” There, she fell in love with all things theatre, including making new friends. “You get to be a person you’ve never been before, and you really get to be alive. It’s a fun place to be,” she said. “I think people should come see ‘Annie’ because not only is it a great show, but it includes kids with disabilities … and they may seem like they are having trouble walking and stuff, but when you look at them, they are so alive!” Her mother, Linda Ryan, agrees. “It’s the trifecta,” she said. “It’s ‘Annie.’ It’s kid-friendly, and it’s by an organization that’s helping children. It’s in the perfect performance space where there isn’t a bad seat in the house.” VCT’s production of “Annie,” directed by Tony-nominated Director Lara Teeter, will feature five shows running Oct. 26-28 at the. Touhill Performing Arts Center on the University of Missouri-St. Louis campus. For tickets, call (314) 516-4949, or visit touhill.org. For more information on Variety, visit varietystl.org.

He likes the interconnected trails provided by Great Rivers Greenway, including a 2.8-mile stretch from Creve Coeur Park to the Katy Trail in St. Charles. The trails are safe, easy to access and wellmaintained, he said. “I’m pretty pleased about what I’ve seen. … The trails are good – they’re not rough or washed out or anything like that,” he said.

to live,” Trautman said during the September meeting of civic organization Progress 64 West. “We’re really focused on getting people out and involved in the outdoors.” GRG (grgstl.org) was created as a result of Proposition C, the “Clean Waters, Safe Parks and Community Trails” initiative passed in 2000. The ultimate goal of GRG is “The River Ring,” an interconnected system of trails in greenways, on-street bicycle routes and parks that will circle the St. Louis region and encompass a 600-mile web of more than 45 greenways. Currently, GRG has 17 greenways in various stages of development and use. Each year since 2007, Trautman said, the organization has monitored usage on seven of those greenways, rotating which greenways are checked. “Annually we’ve had more than one million visitors on each of those seven trails. … Extrapolate that to the 17 different greenways we’re working with and that’s a lot of use, a lot of people outside,” Trautman said. “The improvements have been much appreciated,” said Barry Rinderknecht, of Wildwood, who frequently rides on local trails, both those that are part of GRG and those designed and maintained by local communities. “I would hope that community planners would always be thinking about trails,” Rinderknecht said. Trail users will be pleased to learn that in addition to more miles of greenways, GRG also has a plan in place to maintain its system. “The model in recent years has been to build it and then turn it over,” Trautman said. “Chesterfield is a great example of a terrific partner – and Wildwood. In fact, all of the western municipalities in St. Louis County and St. Charles County are great partners. We build the facility and then turn it over to them.” Some partners don’t have the same ability to maintain trails, so GRG is prepared to stay involved if necessary. “What we’re looking at right now is developing a Greenway Conservation Corps, where we would work year-round with volunteers,” Trautman said. “We’d have sort of a small maintenance team and we would go out and shore (that) up. We might help with bush honeysuckle out here (in Chesterfield), but then on the riverfront trail or some other places where we’ve got some issues, we’d be doing a lot more significant work.” Trautman said, as GRG was going through its update to its regional plan last year, “we really heard loud and clear – we can’t just build, we must also promote and sustain what we’re building.”

Governor’s race heads toward the finish line Editor’s note: West Newsmagazine reporter Jim Erickson requested interviews with both gubernatorial candidates to discuss the same set of questions; however, only contender Dave Spence sat down with Jim to talk about the issues. Gov. Jay Nixon did not reply to interview requests; however, Mid Rivers Newsmagazine reporter Mary Ann 0’Toole Holley was able to catch the governor at a campaign stop in St. Peters in July. Both reporters share their stories here.
The contender: Dave Spence By JIM ERICKSON Dave Spence has never run for political office, instead he has spent his career in business, running Alpha Plastics. He bought Alpha at age 26, and when he stepped down to run for governor, the company reportedly had over 800 employees and almost $200 million a year in revenue. Today, Spence is seeking to bring his business acumen to Jefferson City. In September, Spence sat down with West Newsmagazine to share his views on a variety of issues. Some replies can be found online at newsmagazinenetwork.com. Given Missouri’s political polarization, what steps are you proposing to move the state’s economy forward? Right now there’s a Republican majority in both the House and the Senate and it appears it’s going to stay that way. I’ve already met with the incoming leadership of both the House and the Senate, and we’re completely in line on what needs to be done. We’re prepared to work together. The top three things I think will get Missouri’s economic engine going again are, first, tort reform. Instead of the “Show Me State,” we’re now the “Sue Me State.” Next would be workman’s comp reform. What the existing system does is raise the cost of doing business in the state. I’m all for justice for people hurt on the job, but let’s not have fraud with it and let’s not have excess compensation. Third, we need to be a right-to-work state. What that means is you wouldn’t have to be a member of a union as a condition of employment. I’m not anti-union, but when you are 50th in job creation since 2008 and 48th out of 50 states in economic development, your business plan obviously isn’t working. We’re simply not growing and the state is lagging behind almost every neighboring state in economic development and job growth.
Our overall budget is $24 billion and the governor has cut higher education three years in a row. I don’t think that’s good. There’s no doubt schools can tighten up, and I think they have. But it’s a matter of priorities. We give away $620 million in tax credits and I’m not sure we are running a tight ship there. I think we should be looking at everything we do in Missouri and asking ourselves if we can do it better, or if we should be doing it at all. Let’s run Missouri like a business. The overall theme is that we need more taxpayers and more people getting a paycheck versus an
unemployment check. We’ve got 216,000 on the unemployment rolls and that’s in addition to 106,000 people who have left the workforce.
sustain those projects long term. Part of it is a revenue issue. We have a flat gasoline tax of 18 cents a gallon and as gas mileage has gone up, it has hurt our revenue. 75 percent of our revenue is federal set-aside money that’s all designated for projects. I just sat down with MoDOT and went through the budget. I can see why it’s tight. You know light rail sounds great. Rebuilding of I-70 sounds great, too. It all comes down to whether we have the proper funding. Roads are in decent shape right now, but you have to be thinking five, 10 and 15 years out.
Good roads are part of economic development and if we want to move our state forward, you’ve got to have great roads. I-70 should be six or eight lanes. Light rail certainly is a part of that, too. Transportation is viewed as a key factor Someone asked me awhile back what I in economic development. How do you thought about high speed rail across Misview issues such as light rail and improve- souri and I said, “Boy, it sure sounds sexy ments to I-70, including the possible but who’s going to pay for it?” We just implementation of toll roads to finance can’t be everything to everybody. road construction and maintenance? Our budget (for transportation-related What criticisms made by your oppopurposes) is about $2.5 billion and one nent do you think are inappropriate – would think that would be enough to do either due to their unfairness accuracy At a time when tax increases are what we want to do. But we’ve taken on or lack thereof? unpopular, what steps will you take to some big projects like the I-64 rebuild, the For him (Nixon) to take credit for the boost state support for public schools, Daniel Boone bridge and the Mississippi state’s triple-A credit rating that we’ve including colleges and universities? River bridge. We just don’t have enough to had since 1962 and for him to take credit
for the balanced budget that’s part of our constitution, that’s disingenuous. I know for a fact – because I’ve met with the House Budget Committee and the Senate Appropriations Committee – that Jay Nixon didn’t give one sentence of input on the budget. And for him to say he lowered taxes? It was Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Glendale) who put together the bill to lower the franchise tax and ultimately get rid of it. When I talked to him (Schmitt), he said he didn’t have any idea whether Gov. Nixon was going to sign it. Until the very last minute, nobody knew. In the other ad that’s been running (about Spence’s bank ties), he is flat out lying. It’s amazing that a 26-year career politician can’t run on his record and has to flat out lie about me. For him to say I’m a St. Louis banker, I’m not a St. Louis banker. I ran a plastics company. Did I invest in a bank? Yes. Did I try to help it out? Sure. I lost my tail on the investment and I resigned from the board. For him to put that other stuff at my doorstep, that’s just flat out lying. ••• Reporter’s note: On Oct. 12, Spence took his objections to Gov. Jay Nixon’s attack ads targeting Spence’s bank ties a step further by filing a defamation lawsuit against him. In a written statement, Spence stated, “If the standard for truthfulness in political campaigns is there is no standard, our state and country will continue to erode because good people won’t run for office.” Oren Shur, Nixon’s campaign manager, called Spence’s lawsuit “frivolous, misguided and desperate.” The ads say that Reliance Bancshares received $40 million in federal bailout money under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and that Spence subsequently used his position as a member of the board to get from the bank a $1.1 million mortgage on a Lake of the Ozarks vacation home. Spence has denied any connection between the federal funds and the loan. He also maintains he did not participate in the bank board’s review and approval of the loan.

december 31st, 2012 The incumbent: Jay Nixon By MARY ANN O’TOOLE HOLLEY Gov. Jeremiah “Jay” Nixon’s bid for a second term as governor has him traveling the state to remind citizens of the strides made during his first term, but he says his work is not yet finished. On job creation In July Nixon visited Zoltek Corporation’s new facility in St. Peters, announcing that the manufacturer of carbon fiber material is expanding its operations and plans to create 155 new jobs. “Missouri’s manufacturing sector continues to move our economy in the right direction, and this $15 million local investment by Zoltek is another example of that positive momentum,” Nixon said. “My administration will continue to work every day to hold the line on taxes and give businesses the tools they need to create jobs and grow our economy.” Early this month, Nixon announced that a state economic incentive package will help create 100 new jobs as LMI Aerospace expands its headquarters and manufacturing facilities over the next five years. LMI Aerospace will get the incentive only if it meets job creation and investment criteria, Nixon said. Regarding education Nixon has worked “across the aisle” to
balance the state’s budget and in the past three years, has helped stall college tuition increases making education more affordable. According to the College Board’s Advocacy & Policy Center, Nixon has guided Missouri’s four-year public colleges to become tops in the nation in keeping a lid on tuition and fee hikes. Nixon also expanded the state’s A-Plus two-year scholarship program that provides free tuition to community colleges. More than 150 schools are now participating with more than 65,000 new students eligible for the program. “We’ve focused on what’s good for Missourians, and it’s beginning to pay off,” Nixon said in his report of the State of Missouri’s economic health. Bi-partisan economic development Nixon says Missouri is moving forward as a result of bi-partisan efforts between Democrats and Republicans working under very difficult economic conditions. He says he has focused in areas where the potential for new growth is the greatest, pointing to the auto industry where Ford is investing $1.8 billion in Kansas City to build a new car previously built in Europe and GM is investing $380 million at the Wentzville Plant that will create 1,600 new jobs to build the new Chevy Colorado.
