THOMAS SOWELL
Random Thoughts Random thoughts on the passing scene: Like so many people, in so many countries, who started out to “spread the wealth,” Barack Obama has ended up spreading poverty. Have you ever heard anyone as incoherent as the people staging protests across the country? Taxpayers ought to be protesting against having their money spent to educate people who end up unable to say anything beyond repeating political catch phrases. It is hard to understand politics if you are hung up on reality. Politicians leave reality to others. What matters in politics is what you can get the voters to believe, whether it bears any resemblance to reality or not. I hate getting bills that show a zero balance. If I don’t owe anything, why bother me with a bill? There is too much junk mail already. Radical feminists seem to assume that men are hostile to women. But what would they say to the fact that most of the women on the Titanic were saved, and most of the men perished – due to rules written by men and enforced by men on the sinking ship? If he were debating Barack Obama, Newt Gingrich could chew him up and spit him out. Whether the particular issue is housing, medical care or anything in between, the agenda of the left is to take the decision out of the hands of those directly involved and transfer that decision to third parties, who pay no price for making decisions that turn out to be counterproductive. It is truly the era of the New Math when a couple making $125,000 a year each are taxed at rates that are said to apply to “millionaires and billionaires.” On many issues, the strongest argument of the left is that there is no argument. This has been the left’s party line on the issue of man-made global warming and the calamities they claim will follow. But there are many scientists – some with Nobel Prizes – who have repudiated the global warming hysteria. With professional athletes earning megabucks incomes, it is a farce to punish their violations of rules with fines. When Serena Williams was fined $2,000 for misconduct during a tennis match, it was like fining you or me a nickel or a dime. Suspensions are something that even the highest-paid athletes can feel. Most of us may lament the fact that so
many more people are today dependent on food stamps and other government subsidies. But dependency usually translates into votes for whoever is handing out the benefits, so an economic disaster can be a political bonanza, as it was for Franklin D. Roosevelt. Don’t count Obama out in 2012. Politicians can solve almost any problem – usually by creating a bigger problem. But, so long as the voters are aware of the problem that the politicians have solved, and unaware of the bigger problems they have created, political “solutions” are a political success. Do people who advocate special government programs for blacks realize that the federal government has had special programs for American Indians, including affirmative action, since the early 19th century – and that American Indians remain one of the few groups worse off than blacks? I hope the people who are challenging Obamacare in the Supreme Court point out that the equal application of the laws, mandated by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, is violated when the president can arbitrarily grant hundreds of waivers to the Obamacare law to his political favorites, while everyone else has to follow its costly provisions. People who live within their means are increasingly being forced to pay for people who didn’t live within their means – whether individual home buyers here or whole nations in Europe. Regardless of how the current Republican presidential nomination process ends, I hope that they will never again have these televised “debates” among a crowd of candidates, which just turn into a circular firing squad – damaging whoever ends up with the nomination, and leaving the voters knowing only who is quickest with glib answers. Have you noticed that we no longer seem to be hearing the old familiar argument that illegal aliens are just taking jobs that Americans won’t do?

NOVEMBER 2, 2011 WEST NEWSMAGAZINE

letters to the editor Thanks for the memories To the Editor: My wife, Millie, and I wish to thank God, our family, our neighbors and many, many friends for such happy memories over these past 37 years at our Christmas open house and Christmas display on Wild Horse Creek Road (Dec. 1 to Jan. 1). Unfortunately, there will not be a Christmas open house and display this year. The money we spent on electricity, food and drinks will be used to help the needy in the area. Again, thanks to all and a special thank you to our neighbor lady who baked so many cookies, candy, etc. for all those years. Thanks to everyone for all the happy memories; they will always be in our hearts. May the Lord bless you now and for evermore. Don and Millie Jaeger Wildwood
Public-private partnerships
To the Editor: In the Oct. 12 issue of West Newsmagazine, there is an article titled “Republican candidates hold ‘People’s Event’ in Wildwood” that says, “All three candidates spoke against public-private partnerships as a way to address the nation’s problems.” On the very next page, an article on the (Chesterfield Arts) “Take a Seat in Chesterfield” project contains the quote (from Chesterfield City Councilmember Matt Segal): “A wonderful thing that Chesterfield Arts and the city are doing is taking public and private partnerships and putting them together in the best interests of the community.” Just so I understand – public-private partnerships are good if we benefit locally and bad if they are just good for the nation? Maggie Eisenberger Wildwood
Ballwin candidate certification To the Editor: While I have relocated from Ballwin, I still have a strong personal interest in supporting those who elected me for their alderman in Ward 2 in 2010. I several times a week am contacted by residents who supported what I was doing then and do not feel that currently the correct actions are taking place in Ballwin. RS Mo115.346 states: ”Notwithstanding any other provisions of law to the contrary,
no person shall be certified as a candidate for a municipal office, nor shall such person’s name appear on the ballot as a candidate for such office, who shall be in arrears for any unpaid city taxes or municipal user fees on the last day to file a declaration of candidacy for the office.” Lying on a form by stating that you are current when you know that you are actually two years delinquent in payment of your taxes is wrong. Mr. Terbrock knew and told West Newsmagazine that he was two years delinquent. To certify that you are current, knowing that you are not, is lying under oath or false swearing, both of which are per my thesaurus know as perjury. Also Ballwin makes its own laws, called ordinances; one of those is (in regard to) the sewer lateral fee, which is collected via the real estate tax. If you fail to pay the fees prescribed by those ordinances, you are breaking the laws (ordinances) of Ballwin. When an incumbent elected official does this, he is also breaking the laws of Ballwin, which he swore to uphold when he took office. The letters from the Secretary of State and the Missouri Senate Research Department have been posted on the BallwinEllisville Patch website and also copied to the Facebook page “TeamBallwin.” Comments providing details regarding these letters are being flagged as “inappropriate” by some viewers, and they get deleted. The items deleted contain the exact details provided by the Secretary of State and Missouri Senate Research Department and are definitely not “inappropriate.” The obvious reason is that concerned individuals do not want the residents of Ballwin to be exposed to the obvious facts. There are those out there that feel that Freedom of Information is not something that is good for the residents of Ballwin if it provides facts that they would rather see buried. If we cannot get an honest following of the election rules and laws at the level of a Fourth Class City, how can we ever expect that it will be followed at a state and national level? West Newsmagazine would be doing a great public service by gaining access to the 11 pages that were received from the state reviewing the issues. I surely hope that your having the city of Ballwin as a customer does not influence your decision as to whether or not to print this letter to the editor. Ronald E. Markland Former Ballwin alderman
Ballwin trash talk To the Editor: Recently, Allied Waste sent a card notifying that instead of putting trash and yard waste out on Monday night, yard waste goes out on Sunday night and trash and recycling goes out on Monday evening. Jerry, the city administrator for Ballwin, told me that the board of aldermen approved the two-day trash-hauling schedule. It is a new arrangement, but already, it is causing a great neighborhood, Claymont, to have cans out starting on Sunday through Tuesday. Three days out of seven of cans at the curb is very unsightly. Jerry was evasive and put it off on the aldermen. I have now heard back from the mayor and one of two aldermen. I am told that Allied wants this arrangement and it most likely will stand. What will happen during the winter when the snowplows come through? Also, this is a city contract, and I have no other options. R. Blankenship Ballwin
Sowell searching
To the Editor: Another week, another eye-roll-inducing Thomas Sowell article. How many different ways can you say the left is wrong? Each week he amazes me with a new one. One section really stuck out this week: “Those who see social problems as requiring high-minded people like themselves to come down from their Olympian heights to impose their superior wisdom on the rest of us, down in the valley, are behind such things as the hunger hoax...” I look forward to seeing that same paragraph in next week’s article, replacing “hunger hoax” with “pro-life movement” since I know the left definitely doesn’t have a monopoly on holier-than-thou. If that happens, I’ll go back and read this article through different eyes – and eat my shirt. Kevin Feeney St. Louis County
Where was the Tea Party?
To the Editor: Although I would question the racial tolerance of some Tea Party members, it is unfair to lump everyone together – kind of like anyone with liberal leanings is un-American, unpatriotic, etc. – plenty of what we see in this fine journal.
Anyway, most people question Tea Party members because of their conspicuous “absence” while President Bush was bailing out Wall Street and running up an $800 billion deficit. It is very odd, even in the early Bush term when my fellow Republicans held the White House, the House of Representatives and the Senate, they did nothing to address the then-deficits, except to make them worse by cutting revenues. No Tea Party outrage. (As a side note, even with their majority, they did nothing to address the spiraling health care costs, except to make them worse by starting the Medicare prescription program … 100 percent unfunded. What, no Tea Party outrage?) When we got into two wars, nothing was done to fund these, except to hide the spending off the books. Again, no Tea Party outrage. When the financial markets tanked during the latter part of President Bush’s term, there was the $700-billion TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program). No outrage from the Tea Party about bailing out those who profited wildly before the markets tanked. However, one year into the current four-year term, the sky was “all of a sudden falling.” The funny thing is that I joined the Tea Party movement early on but when the rhetoric became downright nasty and racist, I soon quit. Also, when your main goal is to torpedo the country and the economy just to make the president fail, then that is treasonous. That should cover why people, including many Republicans (like me) despise what the Tea Party is doing. Also, Bob Kerr is just plain wrong in his belief that President Bush only ran a deficit of $410 billion – that is off by almost $300 billion (and) was really $485 billion around Jan. 1, 2008, but the federal fiscal year started in October 2008, and by that time, the deficit went up another $100 billion, and of course you have to add the roughly $200 billion from TARP that won’t be paid back – again spent by the Bush administration. That is around $800 billion. To be sure, President Obama has doubled this and has generally done a bad job with the economy, and this is being made worse by our do-nothing Congress. Rick and Ann Standal wrote a fine piece covering this (West Newsmagazine ‘Letters to the editor,” Oct. 5) … how we are duped by all of our elected representatives and that they no longer represent us. However, as long as we believe everything they say, without question (as many of you do), then we get the government that we deserve. Derek Sage Ballwin

News Br iefs CREVE COEUR Aiding domestic violence victims For more than a decade, the city of Creve Coeur has authorized the municipal court to assess a $2 fee to each defendant who pleads guilty or is found guilty of any criminal ordinance violation or moving traffic violation for the purpose of providing operating expenses for sheltered battered persons. On Oct. 24, city leaders once again approved the ordinance. Each fall, the city accepts applications for the Domestic Violence Shelter Court Fund and this year, six agencies were approved to use those funds for 2012. They are: ALIVE, Inc., Lydia’s House, The St. Louis Crisis Nursery, the Salvation Army, Shalom House and the Sonlight Family Center. The total amount of funds allocated for the expenses is usually around $18,000, according to city documents.
Lightening the landfill load The city of Creve Coeur is partnering with MERS/Goodwill and Congregation B’nai Amoona on an electronics recycling drive. In an effort to keep out of landfills electronic items that are no longer used or needed, the groups will provide a one-stopdrop site from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sun., Nov.
Enjoy the Ride
6 and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Mon., Nov. 7 on the Congregation B’nai Amoona parking lot, 324 South Mason Road (between Conway Road and Ladue Road). Items that will be accepted include computers and computer accessories; networking and telecommunication equipment, such as clocks and phones; TVs, VCRs, DVD players, stereos, and A/V equipment, including satellite boxes; home electronics and appliances; and any item with an engine, motor or battery. MERS/Goodwill will accept other items in addition to electronics at the drive and will provide participants with a tax receipt for their donations. Attendants will be on hand to help unload items. Prior sorting of items is not necessary, and electronics do not need to be in working condition. In 2010, the electronics recycling drive collected 238 tons of material that would otherwise have been dumped into nearby landfills.

we hit rock,” Chesterfield’s Acting Director of the Administrative Division Mike Geisel said. “We did not expect that.” Geisel said the original bid for the road was $1.5 million, but since it is more expensive to build over rock, the city needed another $64,000 to be able to complete the project. He said he normally includes an additional 10 percent over cost in a contract for situations such as this, but that was not done for this project. “So we had to go back to the council to cover the extra cost,” Geisel said. The city council has approved the additional funding. The new concrete roadway is about 1 mile long and 38 feet wide. It will connect Lydia Hill Drive to August Hill Drive between Baxter Road and Chesterfield Parkway. The city council has already approved renaming the entire new roadway as August Hill Drive. Despite the additional work, Geisel said, the new road remains on schedule to open at the end of November.
ELLISVILLE New parking ordinances In accordance with recently enacted ordinances in the city of Ellisville, effective Jan. 1, 2012, any boat, trailer or camper parked or stored at a residence for more than 24 hours must be parked or stored behind the front building line on an improved, nongravel surface.
Also effective Jan. 1, no automobile, truck or other motor vehicle may be parked for any period of time in the front yard, rear yard or side yard of a residential building unless it is parked on an improved, nongravel surface.
EUREKA Larger library The Eureka Hills branch of the St. Louis County Library soon will be moving from its longtime, one-room home at Hilltop Village Center to a much larger building located at 156 Eureka Towne Center, one mile west of the current library. St. Louis County Library will lease the new 6,500-square-foot building, which used to house a Blockbuster video store. The new space is nearly twice the size of the existing Eureka Hills branch and will allow the library to enhance service in several ways. Circulation at the Eureka Hills branch has increased 117 percent since 2000. A specific timeline for completion of the new branch has not been finalized, but St. Louis County Library officials expect to have the project finished by the end of 2011.

The McDonald’s stores on Long Road in Chesterfield and at Lamp & Lantern Village in Town & Country recently raised more than $6,000 for Wings of Hope. Chesterfield-based Wings of Hope, a Nobel Peace Prize-nominated humanitarian charity, will utilize the money in St. Louis to support its free Medical Relief and Air Transport (MAT) program, which locates advanced treatments for complex medical conditions. “Colleen Schoendienst, owner of the two stores, has been a generous supporter of Wings of Hope,” Wings of Hope President Doug Clements said. “She wanted to commemorate the charity for its nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize and raise awareness of the good work Wings of Hope does.”

He said the project also would include two pedestrian tunnels. The project cost is not to exceed $394,979, and 80 percent of the costs will be reimbursed through the Federal Transportation Improvement Program.

ST. LOUIS COUNTY Designated disaster St. Louis County and St. Charles County are among 101 Missouri counties that have been declared natural disaster areas by the U.S. Department of Agriculture due to the hot, dry weather that occurred in July and August. Contiguous counties in Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma and Tennessee also are included in the disaster declaration. The designation means all qualified farm operators in the those areas are eligible for low interest emergency (EM) loans from USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA), provided eligibility requirements are met. Farmers in eligible counties have eight months from the Oct. 17 disaster declaration date to apply for loans to help cover part of their actual losses. FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability.

Census data reveals numbers on rise in Chesterfield- all kinds of numbers By MARCIA GUCKES Behind the doors of homes in the city of Chesterfield, 13 percent of the people are speaking a language other than English. A decade ago, only 10 percent were speaking a foreign language. That is according to the most recent data from the 2010 census released by the U.S. Census Bureau in October. The language most likely to be spoken in those homes is some form of Chinese or Indian because the second largest population group living in Chesterfield is Asian. That group has increased from 5.6 percent of Chesterfield’s population to 8.6 percent in 2010. Besides languages spoken, the census data gives a glimpse into many factors that make up the lives of Chesterfield residents. The bureau has data on information ranging from the size of the population, to highest educational degree attained, to how many people drive to work alone. An overall look at the data paints a picture of Chesterfield as a city with a population of 47,484 people who are mostly white, female, 46.6 years old, and live in their own home with a median household income of more than $96,000. A comparison of the data from the 2010 census to the 2000 census shows that the city has changed a little over the past decade. It has gotten bigger, older and richer. The city’s population has grown 1.5 percent from 46,802 people in 2000. Chesterfield residents have gotten a little older, with the median age changing from 41.8 to 46.6 years old. And the median household income has increased by more than
$12,000 – from $83,802 in 2000 to $96,367 in 2010. However, some things in Chesterfield have stayed the same over the past 10 years. The city’s population in 2010 remains mostly white (86.5 percent), female (52.2 percent), and is comprised of people who live in their own homes (81.9 percent). These numbers are mostly good news for Chesterfield, according to the city’s Assistant City Administrator for Community Services & Economic Development Libbey Malberg-Tucker. She said the city uses the census data several ways. “We use the census data to help market the community,” Malberg-Tucker said. “When we’re marketing to businesses that are trying to find workers, we can show them that it’s a highly educated workforce that they can find here.” The census data backs that claim up with numbers showing that of Chesterfield residents who are 25 years old or older, almost all have a high school diploma (96.3 percent) and more than half have a bachelor’s or more advanced degree (62.8 percent). Census data shows also that most of Chesterfield’s workforce is professionally employed in management, financial operations, and sales occupations. Malberg-Tucker said the city also uses census data in developing various programs for the community. “We know we have a large young population, but now we’re beginning to see the growth in the 55 and up category,” Malberg-Tucker said. “So we’re working now on a survey to determine the needs of the
community and what kind of programming the city can help provide as far as continuing education, bus trips and tours, estate planning and those types of things.” The census data does show that over the past decade, the number of Chesterfield residents younger than the age of 19 has dropped by almost 1,000 people from 12,399 in 2000 to 11,421 in 2010. Meanwhile, the 55-plus crowd has increased by more than 4,600. In 2000, the census bureau counted 12,350 residents aged 55 and older. In 2010 that number grew to 16,974. Malberg-Tucker said the price of housing in Chesterfield is probably one of the reasons for the age shift. “Probably the price of homes makes it a little more difficult for young families to live here,” she said. “It has been discussed (by city officials) the fact that affordable housing is practically non-existent here, but on the flipside is that the price of land that developers would have to buy to build affordable housing… the numbers just don’t work for them.” Although the number of houses and apartments available in Chesterfield has increased by more than 2,300 since 2000, the median price for a house has increased by more than $100,000. Census data shows that the median price of a house in 2000 was $238,300 and jumped to $343,500 by 2010. Compare that to the 2010 median price for a house in Missouri at $134,500, and it is easy to see that Malberg-Tucker is probably correct in her assessment of why Chesterfield’s preschool population is decreasing.

Nine cars stolen from Ellisville dealership By TED DIXON JR. The Ellisville Police Department at press time is actively searching for four suspects who stole nine vehicles from the Royal Gate Dodge dealership during the early morning hours of Oct. 26. Ellisville Police Chief Tom Felgate said that sometime between 12:20 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. on Oct. 26, the suspects stole cars from the dealership parking lot, which is located at 15502 Manchester Road. According to police, two other stolen cars were found on the Royal Gate Dodge parking lot – a 2011 Toyota Camry, which was stolen earlier from Frank Leta Honda in O’Fallon, Mo., and a 2008 Dodge Avenger. Felgate said the Dodge Avenger was previously stolen from Royal Gate Dodge but was not reported stolen. He said both of those vehicles were used in connection with the thefts. Felgate said the cars that were stolen were equipped with Supra lock boxes, devices that are attached to a vehicle’s driver’s-side window. The keys to the stolen cars were inside the lock boxes and allowed the thieves to steal the cars. According to police, the suspects stole the vehicles on two separate occasions. “We do have surveillance video of the incident,” Felgate said. The Ellisville Police Department at press time is not releasing information regarding the surveillance video because it currently is under investigation. Felgate said his department recovered at a location in North St. Louis County two of the stolen vehicles – a 2008 Dodge Charger and a 2008 Dodge Challenger. Seven vehicles at press time remain missing. Anyone with information regarding the thefts should contact the Ellisville Police Department at 2277777.

Chesterfield man to be arraigned in death of Whitfield teacher By MARCIA GUCKES Arraignment is set for Nov. 9 for a Chesterfield man charged in the death of a longtime teacher and coach at Whitfield School in Creve Coeur. Chesterfield police on Sept. 21 arrested Patrick J. McCormick, 53, of Chesterfield, following the death of Chesterfield resident Janet Esrock, 50. Esrock died on Sept. 11 as a result of injuries suffered on the evening of Aug. 26 when she and her 16-year-old son, Jonathan, were involved in a head-on collision with McCormick on Wildhorse Creek Road near Riverdale Drive. Jonathan Esrock, who is a sophomore at Whitfield, was seriously injured but was released from the hospital about a week after the accident. McCormick has been charged with firstdegree involuntary manslaughter while driving while intoxicated and seconddegree assault. The court’s indictment states that McCormick’s blood alcohol content (BAC) was .18 percent. The legal BAC limit in Missouri is .08 percent.
Patrick J. McCormick
Both charges are felonies that could result in a prison term of five to 15 years. The arraignment will consist of a reading of the formal charges against McCormick, and he will be asked to enter a plea. It is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Nov. 9 in Division 58 of the St. Louis County Circuit Court in Clayton.

By JIM ERICKSON The Monarch Fire Protection District is taking steps to put key parts of its 2012 operations in place. At its Oct. 24 meeting, the district’s board of directors approved renewal of a health care program for Monarch’s 138 employees and scheduled for Nov. 19 a special session to work on a 2012 budget. In addition, the Monarch board has received a proposal from Local 2665 of the Professional Firefighters of Eastern Missouri for a new memorandum of understanding on wages and working conditions. At an earlier session, the board discussed whether or not to hold negotiations with the firefighters group at public meetings. Charles Billings, the board’s legal counsel, said state law does not require negotiating be done in open meetings. However, any agreement the board reaches with the firefighters must be formally approved in open session, he said. Directors ultimately opted for bargaining in closed sessions. As of the Oct. 24 meeting, no negotiations had been scheduled. Paul Wirth, of J.W. Terrill, Inc., the district’s insurance broker and benefits adviser, presented a plan for renewing health insurance with United Healthcare. Wirth said some modified provisions in the renewal basically will enable the district to maintain
insurance costs at the same levels that have prevailed in recent years. By eliminating an optional coverage plan that only a few district employees have chosen, Monarch actually will spend some $42,000 less, or about 2 percent, in the coming year. The district’s annual healthcare insurance cost is about $2.2 million. The new plan went into effect on Nov. 1. The district’s insurance committee earlier reviewed and signed off on the new proposal. Kim Evans, board chairperson, termed the plan “an excellent renewal” and moved for its approval. She and Steve Swyers, board secretary, voted in favor, with Robin Harris also giving his endorsement. Harris was out of town but joined the meeting via a telephone and speaker hook-up. In other action, the board approved a $29,278 bid for concrete work at the district’s Olive Blvd. headquarters and at Station 1 and $5,720 for removing drywall contaminated by mold, also at Station 1. Unlike other recent Monarch board meetings, no district residents asked to be heard during the citizen comment part of the agenda. At earlier meetings, citizens have opposed a proposed tax rate increase and have objected to what they said were unnecessarily high wages and benefits for district employees.

Town & Country nixes deer sterilization measure By CASEY GODWIN Sterilization will not be part of the deer management plan in Town & Country this year. The Town & Country Board of Aldermen on Oct. 24 struck down a bill that would have called for sterilizing deer before the start of sharpshooting to control herds this winter. The bill was introduced by Alderman Al Gerber (Ward 2) at the Oct. 10 board meeting, just after the adoption of a bill contracting White Buffalo Inc. to shoot up to 300 deer. Gerber had attempted to make amendments to the adopted bill to add sterilization to the measure, but the board of aldermen voted against it. Before the final vote on the sterilization bill, Gerber addressed concerns that sterilizing deer before culling would make locating deer more difficult for sharpshooters. He cited by way of example previous years during which both means were utilized.
Ellisville considers longer terms for city officials By TED DIXON JR. Ellisville is discussing increasing from three years to four years the length of time that elected city leaders may serve. The topic was discussed at a recent work session during which Ellisville Mayor Matt Pirrello brought up the idea of holding separate elections for mayoral candidates. Pirrello said the purpose for the change in term limits would be “to get politicians out of the constant election cycle.” With two election cycles, Pirrello said, the city council would have more time to work as a council instead of constant “politicking,” or in effect campaigning. The thinking behind the proposal is to lessen for city leaders the distraction of campaigning so they could place more focus on matters involving city business. Currently, councilmembers serve threeyear terms with half of the six councilmembers running on different cycles. The idea is to change from two consecutive threeyear terms to two consecutive four-year terms and holding an election in a separate year for the office of mayor. Because the city of Ellisville has a charter, such a change would require voter approval. The city has until January 2012 to decide whether or not to place the proposal on the April 2012 ballot and would have to pass an ordinance in order to do so.
Alderman Lynn Wright (Ward 1) said she disagreed with the notion that deer would not be scared off after sterilization. Gerber and Alderman Steve Fons (Ward 3) were the only board members to vote in favor of the non-lethal plan. “I was hoping that because we’re proposing this bill after the sharpshooting bill has already been passed, people will understand that all along the sterilization was meant to be in addition to sharp shooting, and not instead of sharpshooting,” Gerber
said before the vote. Gerber’s bill involved sterilizing 50 deer over the next two years and then maintaining the herd by sterilizing 11 deer each year thereafter. Gerber said he hoped the plan would require only two years of sharpshooting and then an end to lethal deer control. Residents in attendance at the Oct. 24 meeting once again bitterly argued over the issue. Some spoke out against the adoption of a sterilization plan, calling it an inef-

fective way to manage the deer population. Supporters of the plan called on the board of aldermen to end the divisiveness the issue had caused in the community by satisfying both sides. “You will remember residents were promised dual programs of sterilization and sharpshooting,” resident Mariette Palmer told the board. “Adhering to that program is necessary to cancel out the misery and distrust felt throughout Town & Country. It is so simple.”

Chesterfield seeks grant to repair splash playground By MARCIA GUCKES Chesterfield city officials are seeking a $150,000 grant to put all of the splashes back into the splash playground at the Chesterfield Family Aquatic Center. The city council at its meeting on Oct. 17 approved a plan to apply for the grant. Mike Geisel, the city’s director of planning and public works, said that the underground pipes at the splash playground have developed leaks over time. Geisel said the time has come for the entire system to be refurbished. He said there is nothing wrong with the original plumbing work, but that underground pipes that are under pressure and unused during the winter often develop leaks. “It’s time to dig up and replace all of the underground plumbing,” Geisel said. “We’re at the point now where it’s time to completely redo it.” In the meantime, park workers have been doing what they can to keep the various bars and tubes shooting out water for the kids, but in some instances they are beyond repair. “When a leak develops we shut that apparatus down and take it out of service,”
Geisel said, adding that he hopes to know by early December whether the city will be able to get all the playground apparatus up and running again. The city is applying for the $150,000 needed for the repairs in a grant from the Municipal Park Grant Commission of St. Louis County. That agency distributes revenue gathered from a 1/8-cent sales tax approved by voters in 2000 to improve, restore, and expand municipal parks and recreation programs. Chesterfield already has received five grants from the commission totaling almost $1.5 million. But Geisel said there is no guarantee the city will get the grant this time. “We have a very competitive proposal,” Geisel said, “but I have no idea if we’ll get it.” If the grant goes through, the repair work could be done over the winter, according to Geisel. And if not? “Then we’ll have to continue to take apparatus out of service as leaks develop,” Geisel said. He said there is no city funding available for the repairs until the economy improves.
Ballwin says ‘no’ to outdoor business displays, ‘maybe’ to more events By BETSY ZATKULAK The Ballwin Board of Aldermen on Oct. 24 voted down a bill that would have relaxed the city’s regulations prohibiting businesses from displaying and selling merchandise outside their buildings but voted to draft new legislation regarding the number of special events businesses may have per year. According to Ballwin ordinance, businesses are prohibited from using “any tract of land, lot or premises” for the sale, display or storage of merchandise unless the merchandise is kept within a building that is completely enclosed. A special use exception is in place for certain businesses, such as car dealerships, nurseries and select stores selling plants, landscaping materials, propane, etc. The failed bill would have loosened those regulations and permitted Ballwin businesses to use their front sidewalks for the display, storage and sale of any type of product. A section of the bill would have increased from three to four the number of special events that businesses are allowed to have per year. Alderman Jim Leahy (Ward 3) said he supported the special events portion of the
bill but thought the rest of the bill would cause enforcement problems. “I actually support the special events going from three to four,” Leahy said, “but I’m very hesitant to vote on the rest of this bill. … I look back at the bill that we passed on solicitation and the problems it brought us. I have a concern passing ordinances for ordinance’s sake.” Alderman Mark Harder (Ward 2), who earlier this year volunteered to participate in a focus group with city officials and Ballwin business owners to discuss amendments to the city’s ordinance regarding outdoor displays, disagreed. “Right now, if we enforce the laws that we have – which have been selectively enforced – then nobody can have anything (on display) at any time,” Harder said. “No tires, not anything – and you know it’s going on. Do we selectively enforce, or do we actually have something that can be enforced going forward?” The bill was voted down, but a motion was made to draft new legislation to increase the number of allowed special events for businesses from three to four per year. The legislation will be drafted for presentation on Nov. 14.

Many years ago, there was a patient who came to Dr. Boyle only for his checkups and cleanings and, if any treatment was needed, the patient would go to a “cheaper” dentist to save money. Twelve years ago, the same patient began having Dr. Boyle do all his dental work. Recently, Dr. Boyle asked why the patient no longer went to the “cheaper” dentist? Our patient said; “When you do the work, Dr. Boyle, it never hurts, my teeth look great and your dental work lasts a whole lot longer than the work done by the other dentist”. Our patient said he realized; “Ultimately, it is less expensive to do it right.

by LACLAIRE Made In France Paving equipment puts down a two-inch layer of concrete on top of a thicker lower layer on Route 141 just south of Olive Blvd. The top concrete mixture contains titanium dioxide, a catalyst believed to break down harmful chemicals in smog. A 1,500-foot stretch of the experimental pavement will be monitored closely after the new segment of Route 141 opens in mid-2012. (West Newsmagazine photo)
MoDOT tests smog-eating concrete in West County By JIM ERICKSON Youngsters who use the small neighborhood playground just north of a new section of Route 141 about a half-mile south of Olive Blvd., as well as their parents and other residents, could be the beneficiaries of an experimental section of pavement for the roadway. Last week, workers applied a two-inch layer of concrete mixed with titanium dioxide on top of an earlier-poured seven-inch bottom layer along a 1,500-foot stretch of the new road. According to the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), the titanium dioxide will serve as a photo-catalytic agent that absorbs smog, using sunlight to break it down and releasing nitrogen and carbon dioxide as end products. MoDOT officials said they believe the Route 141 paving represents the first location for testing the smog-eating concept in the United States. The technology has been used in Europe for a number of years, not only for roadways but as a coating for architectural structures to keep them free of nitrous oxides that cause discoloration. Engineers from Iowa State University at Ames were among some 50 observers who came on Oct. 24 to witness the pour. The test period for the concrete will start when Route 141 opens for traffic in mid-2012, and the university team will be monitoring the site to determine the new pavement’s effectiveness in reducing smog. A team from the University of MissouriKansas City also will be watching the site closely, collecting water samples from a special 30-foot section of the road’s shoulder to test the experimental concrete’s
effect on water quality. Jesse Jonas, MoDOT resident engineer, explained that the test stretch of road shoulder will allow water to penetrate it and flow to a containment area where samples will be gathered. Last week’s pour paved two lanes of what will carry southbound traffic. Paving of a third southbound lane at press time is scheduled to take place this week, with work on the roadway’s shoulders to follow. On the test section, a GPS-controlled paving machine put down the lower layer of regular concrete. The thinner, top layer was applied a short time later. Referred to as a “two-lift” paving method, the practice results in pavement as strong as on standard concrete pours by avoiding a “cold joint” that occurs when one section of concrete has set up too much before the second is applied. Use of titanium dioxide boosts paving costs considerably. According to Jonas, the compound added some $130,000 to the price tag for paving the experimental section. Placement of the experimental concrete originally was scheduled for Oct. 19, but inclement weather led to a postponement until the next day when uncertain weather conditions forced still another delay.

Each year, AFS provides intercultural learning experiences that help people from different cultures connect. During their 11-month stay, the eight students are living
with host families in the Parkway South area and getting immersed in American family life, school and culture. The AFS Missouri Gateway team, comprised entirely of volunteers, promotes cultural understanding between people of different countries. “Whether you’re hosting a student or sending one of your own children abroad, an AFS experience is a great way to connect lives and share cultures within your own family and community,” Roberta

The issue addressed whether the United States should ban the manufacture, sale and use of cigarettes. The children grappled with the issues of freedom of choice and expression and the dangers of smoking and breathing secondhand smoke. Each student was actively involved with the trial by being a member of the prosecution or defense team. During the activity, students learned about the history of tobacco and discussed the potential health impacts of tobacco use through a simulation of a court trial with a jury. Students dressed in suits and ties or dresses and carried props, such as briefcases and a copy of the Constitution. In the two fundraisers, Rossman students raised $11,175.50 for the American Heart Association, which was almost $3,000 more than the second-place school. Ninety Rossman students in grades 2-6 participated in Jump Rope for Heart. Almost 40 Rossman students in grades 3-6 participated in Hoops for Heart.

This fall, sixth-grade students in the Rockwood School District are exploring nature at the Babler Outdoor Education Center. During camps, students engage in various science lessons that enhance classroom concepts. “Every aspect of camp is planned to maximize learning opportunities for students,” Director of Rockwood Community Education Michael Seppi said. “The common experience shared by a team of students provides great memories that can be built upon in the classroom; not to mention, it’s a great way for students to form positive relationships with their classmates.” Students study forest and pond ecology, take an in-depth look into an ecosystem and learn the basics of orienteering. Trained staff from the Babler OEC help sixth-grade teachers lead the classes. “Students gain confidence from participation in sixth-grade camp because it allows them to be independent while also focusing on teamwork and responsibility,” said Rockwood South Middle School Assistant Principal Dr. Dawn Portwood. “For some students, the camping experience is unlike anything they have ever done before.”

Students at St. John Lutheran School in Ellisville assemble food packages to feed almost 29,000 people in Kenya. The students teamed up with Kids Against Hunger in St. Charles and A Child’s Hope International for the project. (West Newsmagazine photo)
St. John Lutheran students help feed thousands in Africa By MARCIA GUCKES In just one recent school day’s time – about seven hours – the students at St. John Lutheran School in Ellisville teamed up with a St. Charles non-profit to package enough food to feed almost 29,000 people living in a refugee camp in Kenya. The students worked with Kids Against Hunger to put together 3,600 packages of food, each of which will feed six people. But the work actually began before the packaging. First, the teachers set the stage in the classroom. Erin Shidner, a secondgrade teacher, said students watched a video about Africa and then discussed ways they could help the people there. “We talked about how we have all we need but other countries don’t,” Shidner said. “We talked about how we can help by giving what we have, like our money and our time.” The next step was to turn the talk into action. “We raised $5,000 selling Kids Against Hunger wrist bands and through donations,” St. John Lutheran Principal Spencer Peregoy said. That money will be used to pay for the food and the shipping. According to Peregoy, the food will be shipped to Kenya through A Child’s Hope International, an organization that teams up with Kids Against Hunger. On Oct. 20, the students went to work putting together the food packages. Each class took a turn standing in assembly lines scooping the food mixture into plastic bags, weighing and sealing each bag, and then packing the bags into cartons along
with cards made by the preschoolers and kindergartners. “The food is fortified soy, dehydrated vegetables, a chicken-flavored vitamin base, and rice,” James Elcock, founder of Kids Against Hunger Metro St. Charles/St. Louis satellite, said. Elcock said the food not only helps international hunger but often is used by local food pantries when they get low on food and has been sent to help in areas struck by disaster, such as Joplin and New Orleans. Besides his volunteer work, Elcock is a real estate broker and owner of Elcock Properties in St. Charles. He is one of five Realtors to win the 2010 Good Neighbor Award given by the National Association of Realtors (NRA). According to an NRA news release, the award is given to Realtors who are committed to improving their community by volunteering their time and putting others before themselves. Elcock said the work he does with groups like the St. John students does more than feed the hungry. “What people often miss is that not only are we making an impact overseas, but we’re teaching young people teamwork and management skills,” Elcock said. “We took some eighth-graders, made them facilitators, showed them how to work the system, showed them how to manage, and let them work.” Principal Peregoy had an additional reason for the school’s participation. “We didn’t do this to bring attention to ourselves,” Peregoy said. “We wanted to let other people know how easy this is to do.”
Westminster’s Cusumano captures state golf title By WARREN MAYES Her first tournament victory is one Westminster Christian Academy’s Brooke Cusumano will not forgot. The Wildcats junior won the Class 1 girls’ state golf tournament by two strokes with a two-day score of 164 at the Silo Ridge Golf and Country Club in Bolivar. That capped a banner tourney for Westminster as the Wildcats finished their season undefeated to win the state tourney by 91 strokes ahead of second-place Maryville. While she has been a medalist in dual matches, Cusumano had yet to win a tournament until state. Now, she has accomplished that feat, and it left her with emotions that stretched from happiness to giddiness. “I mean, it’s just like pretty crazy,” Cusumano said. “I don’t think there’s any words to describe it.” Cusumano finished second in the district tournament and then came in sixth in the sectional. Still, she had a good feeling about the state meet. “I work hard. I practice a heck of a lot,” Cusumano said. “I don’t go into anything not thinking I could win. I didn’t put it into words I could win it, but mentally, I was thinking I could win it. “I definitely thought I had all the tools in my bag. I was upset with myself after district and sectionals. It didn’t happen for me. To have it happen for me in the biggest tournament of the year was just unbelievable.” But Cusumano said the team winning was the best part of the state experience. “But as happy as I am to win the tournament, it was more important that our team won it,” Cusumano said. Westminster Coach Steve Bradley said he believed Cusumano was capable of winning state. “I did think she was capable of being a state champion, especially after last year at River Cut,” Bradley said. “As a sophomore, she played a very steady game of golf. This year she took the big step. She played well, overcame her problem situations and kept her mind in the match. “Brooke is a strong leader and has really garnered the respect of her teammates. They listen to her and her great ideas. She is also very funny and keeps everyone feeling very loose.” Bradley said winning state represents another step forward for Cusumano. “Brooke has been a very consistent golfer these past three years,” Bradley said. “She has gotten better and smarter on the course. In her first season, she took dead aim at the

pin. Sometimes that got her in trouble. She now thinks through each hole, calculates her best options, then puts the ball in play.” In the first day of the tournament, she shot an 80 with four birdies. On the second day, Cusumano started off poorly, but a couple of good shots put her at ease. She hit the ball into the sand and had to hit the ball backward to escape. She did and then chipped on the green and got up and down to save a double. “That turned it around for me,” Cusumano said. “I thought I could do it then.” That ability to get up and down is one of her strengths. “Brooke has a pretty complete game, but I would say her strength is around the green,” Bradley said. “If she has a wedge in her hand she is deadly. One reason for this has to be the practice facility that her dad (Frank) has put in the yard around the house.” Cusumano was standing at the scorers’ table watching the scores be posted. “Some people said I might have won. I was watching it pretty close,” Cusumano said. “I didn’t know what the other two girls in my group shot. Then I saw it. My heart just dropped. It was just the craziest feeling ever. My teammates jumped on top of me. They were all hugging me and high-fiving me. It was the best of both worlds for me. I would have been fine and just as happy if just the team won. To win individually, it was another whole level of excitement for me.”

Whitfield Soccer Coach Bill Daues (left) with Mike Potsou, the school’s varsity boys’ basketball coach and middle school athletic director, at the St. Louis Soccer Hall of Fame induction dinner.
By WARREN MAYES
High school boys’ soccer Whitfield Coach Bill Daues picked up the Jimmy Dunn Memorial High School Coach of the Year award recently when the St. Louis Soccer Hall of Fame held its annual induction dinner at the Millennium Hotel. Daues is in his 22nd season at Whitfield and in 1999 directed the Warriors to a runner-up state finish in Class 1A-3A. Since the state split soccer into three classes in
2002, Whitfield has dominated. The Warriors have won seven titles, including the last two, and Whitfield was the runner-up in 2005. “I felt privileged to receive the award and the recognition and had the honor of meeting Mrs. Dunn at the dinner,” Daues said. “The St. Louis Soccer Hall of Fame dinner and induction is always well attended, with I think close to 1,300 people. It is a night to remember and honor St. Louis soccer heritage and also look to the future of St. Louis soccer.” Daues grew up in South St. Louis and

began playing soccer at his parish grade school (St. Anthony’s) and then attended St. Mary’s High School. He then went to St. Louis Community College at Forest Park and played two years of soccer for Joe Carenza Sr., legendary coach, player and soccer director. Daues turned down several offers to attend local colleges and play soccer and baseball. He did take a baseball scholarship to Northeast Missouri State University (now Truman State). He continued to play soccer in St. Louis with a senior team in the St. Louis League and CYC Major League. He finished playing competitively at age 35 and then started to focus more on coaching. “I wanted to stay involved in sports, so I began to think of teaching and coaching as a way to stay involved and pay back to future athletes what I have been so fortunate to receive,” Daues said. In his speech, Daues thanked his players. “Without their commitment and hard work, the Whitfield soccer program would not have had the opportunity for the success it has experienced,” Daues said. “My longtime assistant coaches, Jeff Cacciatore, Luke Cano and Mike Quante, have contributed a large part to the development of soccer at Whitfield, and their efforts in helping our players and teams improve have made a positive impact on the soccer program over the years. I look forward to coaching with them for a while longer.” Daues also thanked the Whitfield School administrative team that has supported not

He also acknowledged “the most important person in my life and coaching career,” – his wife, Joyce. “Her understanding attitude with all the thousands of hours I have been away from home due to soccer games and practices” made it all possible, he said. ••• Marquette’s undefeated season came to an end with a 3-1 loss to visiting DeSmet. The Mustangs began the season with a 19-0-2 record. “That has been our best record to date,” Marquette Coach Chris Kenny said. Kenny knew it would be a tough game. “I don’t believe we have defeated them before,” Kenny said. “We knew DeSmet was an excellent team and that we would have needed to play a very good game to defeat them.” The Spartans took a 2-0 lead at halftime. “Their skill and ability to take advantage of our mistakes was very good,” Kenny said. “They did a great job defending against us and really limited Keith Grieshaber around the goal. Their victory was well deserved and they were the better team that day.” Marquette’s goal came with 19:33 remaining on a corner kick. Will Valentine scored. “We will have to learn from the loss and know the importance of the little things that determine the outcome of the games, especially against good teams,” Kenny said.

High school girls’ golf Incarnate Word Academy made its first trip as a team to the Class 2 state golf tournament and left with a seventh-place finish at Sedalia Country Club. There was only one round played as the first round was rained out. The Red Knights shot a team score of 378. Rock Bridge won with a 352. Incarnate Word’s individual scores were: Mary Kate Stewart tied for 25th with an 88; Amanda Ressel tied for 45th with a 94; Elizabeth Francis tied for 56th with a 95; Laura Kohnen was 75th with a 101; and Sarah Paunicka was 90th with a 125. Coach Brian Wack said he was pleased with his squad. “The first team experience for the team was a great one,” Wack said. “The girls really enjoyed being there together. The support was amazing. This was a big step in the program.” Wack will lose two seniors from the team that went to state but said there is plenty of talent for next year. “There is a great bunch of girls for next year, and after what they saw this year, I know that they are excited to step in and keep the program moving in the right direction,” Wack said. Several other local individuals competed at state and Emily Goldenstein, of Park-
way West, tied for 11th with an 87 to earn a medal. Kelsey Thompson, of St. Joseph’s, tied for 25th with an 89; Elizabeth Leath, of Parkway Central, tied for 36th with a 91; Stephanie Mazzoni, of Parkway North, tied for 45th with a 93; Claire Norfleet, of Lafayette, tied for 56th with a 96; Paige Schwetz, of St. Joseph’s, was 67th with a 97; and Morgan Schettler, of Marquette, tied for 76th with a 102. In Class 1, two girls were medalists by finishing in the top 15. MICDS senior Campbell Torchin tied for ninth with a 175, and MICDS junior Darby Hobbs tied for 15th with a 178.
High school boys’ swimming The Parkway Central Colts lost their first match of the season by dropping a 101-85 decision to undefeated Lafayette. “Obviously, we would have liked to have won, but Lafayette was the better team on that day,” Parkway Central Coach Kevin Mabie said. “They won some close races that cemented them the win. The guys expected to win. “We went 1,094 days without losing a dual meet, so they didn’t want to drop one. However, we knew going in that they would be tough to beat in a head-to-head match-up. They earned a good win.”
I sports I 23
The Colts had five wins in the dual: Nick Orf won the 200 free in 1:45.15 and the 500 free in 4:41.59; Drew Larkins won the diving with 199.10 points and the 100 breast in 1:01.28; and Riley Brown won the 100 fly in 56 seconds. While the Colts lost, Mabie saw several good things. “While we lost some close races, we also won some close races,” Mabie said “Riley Brown’s win in the 100 fly was huge. Not only is he racing well, but he is adding possibilities to his state lineup. Nick Orf’s time in the 500 was the fastest in the state this year by 3 full seconds. The guy he beat swam the third fastest time in the year (Jon Glaser), so that’s exciting. We had one of our top sprinters swim for the first time since tearing a ligament in his hand (Zach Biggs). He had surgery and is recovering nicely.”
High school girls’ cross country Eureka won Class 4 District 2 at Parkway Central, and freshman Hannah Long took medalist honors. The Wildcats scored 26 points. In Class 4 District 3, at Sioux Passage, Incarnate Word finished third with 69 points and St. Joseph’s Academy was fourth with 73 points. Kirkwood won the Suburban South Conference championship with 41 points.

Setting the table
By SUZANNE CORBETT
How to build a bountiful buffet for your holiday party The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes seasonal buffets. From the casual open house to glittering dinner parties, the focus of the event always is on the table. Traditional touches mixed with contemporary elements can create a dazzling holiday buffet. Before setting the buffet table, consider these staging suggestions.
plates, flatware and glasses on a separate, smaller side table to relieve overload on the main buffet. Or, create a drink station or dessert table.
Playing dress-up Dress the table with colorful linens, mixing and matching colors, fabrics and designs. Create a color scheme based on the season, theme and planned table Table talk centerpieces. Table placement is vital to a successful Centerpieces can be as simple as buffet. Bring in a large table if needed running a wide ribbon down the center and/or rearrange furniture to better suit of the table. Follow the ribbon with the space. No one wants to feel crowded, apples, walnuts and tea lights placed so allow for enough space to accommo- in small containers or canning jars. Or, date guests. Consider clearing the center mix pecans and cranberries in a shallow, of the living room or dining room in clear glass bowl around a candle for an order to expand the buffet line. easy but elegant centerpiece. To prevent a pile-up at the buffet, Pick up a bundle of cut flowers and place food items on separate tables in scatter them where you like. Try tucking different locations. For example, stack a single stem in between service dishes
or as an accent on trays. Fill vases with vintage Christmas ornaments or with lemons and cranberries. Add water to fruit-filled vases for a more dramatic effect. While pumpkins are on the market, buy a white one and hollow it out as a holder for red poinsettias. Hollowed out, small pumpkins make prefect soup bowls, while green peppers can hold dips and spreads. Apples make affordable and attractive candleholders. Mix and match plates and flatware – a great way to utilize vintage dishes, family china and pottery. Shuffle the patterns, using different china patterns for dinner, salad and dessert plates. Mixing up serving pieces can also add interest to the table. Try mixing textures, such as copper, wicker, silver, wood and cast iron. The results can add fun to the table. Try using baskets as serving liners for
baking dishes or teakettles or vases lined with napkins to hold flatware A menu and a map Before setting the table, make a map that outlines what dish goes where. This will help prevent overcrowding. Now is also the time to think vertically. Add height to your table by using steady boxes or multi-level serving pieces, such as a pie tower. Besides adding visual pizzazz, it allows for another serving level that often is easier for guests to reach. Last but hardly least is the food. Create a menu that complements space and the buffet theme. For example, a tree trimming party calls for moveable foods that are easily picked up and easily eaten since guests will be mingling around the room. Saucy pastas, soups or anything with a slippery sauce that can slide off a plate is for a sit-down meal.

$ Teri Griege at the start of the 26.2-mile run at the 2011 Ford Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.
Creve Coeur woman completes Ironman while battling cancer By CAROL ENRIGHT Creve Coeur resident Teri Griege, 50, did not set out to inspire; it was she who was inspired by a story she saw on TV. The story, which Griege saw in 2005, was about John Blais, a young man who completed his first Ironman after being diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease, and it inspired her to compete on Oct. 8 in the 2011 Ford Ironman World Championship in KailuaKona, Hawaii. “I always wanted to do an Ironman,” Griege said, “but then when I saw that story, I wanted to go do that race.” In an ironic twist of fate, Griege will be the featured inspirational story on Dec. 10 when NBC Sports re-airs the race. She trained for and completed the Kona Ironman while battling stage 4 colon cancer, a diagnosis she received in 2009. Checking the elite race off her “bucket list” required completing a 2.4-mile ocean swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run. Unlike her first Ironman in 2008, when Griege pushed herself to achieve a certain result, this time, “the only pressure I felt was to finish,” she said. “I used to be extremely competitive,” Griege said. “Now, I’m just so grateful to be out there.” When she crossed the finish line in 14 hours, 50 minutes and 32 seconds, race winner and four-time World Ironman Champion Chrissie Wellington was there to greet her. Griege met Wellington over the summer at an Ironman in Kansas and told her of her plans to compete in Hawaii. At that time, Wellington said, “I hope I’m there to put the medal on you when you cross that finish line.” Not only did the champion live up to her word, she mentioned Griege in her award acceptance speech.
“I’m no hero, and there’s so many athletes out there that have overcome huge adversities, people suffering from cancer like Teri Griege,” Wellington said. “They’re the ones that motivate me to even greater heights.” To train for the Ironman, Griege ran 35 miles, biked 200 miles and swam 10,000 meters each week. She was so dedicated to her regimen that she often would bike on a trainer at home while hooked up to a chemotherapy infusion pack. Although Griege admitted that some people think she’s “crazy,” she said training has “been a great outlet.” “It’s kept my life normal. For my kids, it’s been healthy for them to see that I’m not rolling over and giving up,” she said. Griege said she wants to share her story “because I feel like the whole bottom line is that colon cancer can be prevented – and it can be prevented by having colonoscopies.” Whether talking about her Ironman finish or her battle with cancer, Griege often mentions the “army” of family and friends on whom she depends for support. About 30 of “Teri’s Troops,” including her husband, her two children and her 87-year-old mother, were in Hawaii cheering her on. And Griege, who was not so worried about her finish time, said she “stopped every time I had family” along the course. Next up for Griege is the New York City Marathon on Nov. 6. After that, she will have completed three – Chicago, Boston and New York – of the five major marathons. She would like to compete in the remaining two in Berlin and London. Whether she’s in the Big Apple or running past Big Ben, Griege, who said she feels “inner young,” plans to enjoy the ride.

NOVEMBER 2, 2011 WEST NEWSMAGAZINE
The surrogacy surge By SARAH WILSON When a couple is ready to bring a new life into the world, conceiving the natural way can be as laborious as childbirth itself. As a result, many couples are turning to surrogacy. Jeremy Gruber, president of the Massachusetts-based Council for Responsible Genetics (CRG), said surrogacy not only is on the rise – it is “clearly entering the mainstream.” “You can’t pick up a new magazine these days without finding another celebrity using surrogacy,” Gruber said. “Couples are waiting longer to have children these days, and infertility is an increasing problem, and for a whole host of other social reasons, including same-sex couples, surrogacy is seen as a viable alternative.” Surrogacy can take one of two forms: traditional or gestational. In a traditional surrogacy, the surrogate is the child’s biological mother, using her own egg and a man’s sperm. In a gestational surrogacy, the surrogate is not genetically related to the baby and uses another woman’s egg and a man’s sperm. According to The Infertility Clinic of St. Louis, an estimated one of every five couples in America is considered infertile. The Infertility Clinic’s Dr. Sherman Silber, who has been practicing infertility treatments for about 37 years and is considered among the world’s leading infertility authorities, said there currently is an “infertility epidemic.” “Infertility clinics are absolutely overflowing, and one clear-cut reason for this increase is basically a social change, where people are just putting off bearing children or getting married until they’re older,” Silber said. “People used to get married in their late teens or 20s and have kids soon after, but now, many women aren’t even thinking about having a baby until their mid 30s.” Silber said a woman’s fertility drops between the ages of 20 and 35 and then dramatically drops after that. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of babies born to gestational surrogates grew 89 percent from 2004 to 2008, and the numbers will continue to rise. “The statistics we do have, though, suggest surrogacy is far more rampant than even the numbers reveal,” Gruber said. In the surrogate’s shoes Silber said those seeking a surrogate should not have any problem finding one. “There is certainly not a shortage of volunteers, because so many women want to be a surrogate,” Silber said. “Many love the idea of being pregnant but don’t want to bother with having anymore kids.” Most women who volunteer to be a surrogate, Silber said, already have had all the children they want but still enjoy pregnancy. Surrogacy costs biological parents between $40,000 and $120,000, and surrogates are paid between $12,000 and $25,000 per pregnancy, according to the CRG. But according to Silber, most women do not do it for the money. “From what I’ve found, they do it because they want to do it,” Silber said, “but that still doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be compensated.” When considering a potential surrogate, Silber

She described the surrogacy process as “rigorous.”Because she went through an infertility center in St. Louis, she had to travel back and forth for several weeks for various thyroid and blood tests and a psychological evaluation to see if she qualified to be a surrogate. said he looks for how healthy the woman is and what her To prepare for pregnancy, Pearson had to give herself previous pregnancies have been like. hormone shots, which left knots on her legs and prevented “They also have to be psychologically sound, and I have her from being able to walk for a couple weeks. But the to make sure they’ve got a good relationship with the worst part, she said, was the added emotional stress. intended parents,” he said. “Just hoping that you’re pregnant is a lot of stress,” PearSilber said he always brings the surrogate, her spouse son said. “You’re so hopeful for this couple that you worry and the intended parents together in a room to look for any about failing and letting them down.” When the baby, Isaac, was delivered, the biological potential problems. Megan Miller, (not her real name), 41, has a husband mother was in the room with Pearson. “Being able to watch her see her baby for the first time and two children of her own. She agreed to be a surrogate to help two family members who could not conceive on made it all worth it,” Pearson said. “Tears were in her eyes, and she kept saying, ‘Thank you.’ I thought I was doing their own. “This was not on my bucket list of things to do, but I’m a good thing for people – and I was – but I didn’t realize very honored to do it,” Miller said. “My brother-in-law how big.” Since Isaac was born, the biological parents, who live and sister-in-law are in a situation where they can’t carry a baby, due to do a uterine lining issue, so I volunteered to in Norway, have sent a few pictures, but contact between them and Pearson has been limited. be the surrogate.” “I’m not Isaac’s mom,” Pearson said. “I’m not biologiEven though she volunteered, Miller still has concerns cally a part of him at all, so I want to give them the space but said they are “purely selfish reasons.” “Being pregnant again, I’d have to go through the whole to build their family.” While she did not go through the surrogacy for the process of being tired and having all the symptoms you could possibly have while trying to maintain your own money, Pearson was compensated enough to allow her and life,” Miller said. “There’s also the weight gain, and I just her husband to pay off the debts on their cars and house. She said she is not sure if she would be a surrogate again lost all my baby weight from my second pregnancy. These are selfish reasons, but they’re reasons I feel are valid for or if she wants another child of her own, but she was happy me to at least talk about. But after everything is said and she was “able to give done and the baby is delivered, then that won’t matter any- life to someone else’s dreams.” more.” Miller is not collecting any fees for her surrogacy, but her brother-in-law and sister-in-law will cover her medical expenses. The parties will sign legal documents to ensure everyone’s role is clear throughout and after the pregnancy. She said her husband is supportive of her decision, especially since his brother is going to be the father of the child. “He’s only worried if it doesn’t take,” Miller said. “But now he says that we’re done with Christmas presents for a while.” Miller said she never in a million years would have thought she would be going through with a surrogacy. In the next couple of months, she will start the process. Rachel Pearson, a preschool teacher from Joplin, Mo., was 22 with a husband and two children when she decided to be a surrogate. “I think some women are born to be moms, so I wanted to try and give an opportunity to someone who really wanted to be a parent, had exhausted (her) own resources and was looking elsewhere,” Pearson said.

Healt h Capsu les ‘Drunkorexia’ Eating disorders are common among teens and college students, and heavy alcohol consumption is another unhealthy habit among that age group. According to a new study from the University of Missouri, when college students combine those two unhealthy habits, their long-term health may be affected. Victoria Osborne, University of Missouri assistant professor of social work and public health, examined the relationship between alcohol misuse and disordered eating, including calorie restriction and purging. Researchers found that 16 percent of those surveyed reported restricting calories to “save them” for drinking. About three times as many women reported engaging in the behavior than men. Motivations for “drunkorexia” – a new term coined to describe the combination of disordered eating and alcohol consumption – include preventing weight gain, getting intoxicated faster and saving money that would be spent on food to buy alcohol. According to Osborne, the behaviors can have dangerous cognitive, behavioral and physical consequences. It also puts people at risk for developing more serious eating disorders or addiction problems. “Apart from each other, depriving the brain of adequate nutrition and consuming large amounts of alcohol can be danger-
ous,” Osborne said. “Together, they can cause short- and long-term cognitive problems including difficulty concentrating, studying and making decisions.” People who participate in disordered eating combined with binge drinking are more at risk also for violence, risky sexual behavior, alcohol poisoning, substance abuse and chronic diseases later in life. Osborne said women are at higher risk for health problems related to binge drinking because they metabolize alcohol differently than men so can get sick faster and suffer damage to vital organs sooner than men might.
Four for your health Researchers say that adhering to four lifestyle practices can do a lot of good for your lifespan. The scientists at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) saw it when they looked at national health survey data and death records. “People who practiced all four healthy lifestyle behaviors were 63 percent less likely to die of heart disease, cancer, and other diseases,” the CDC’s Ursula Bauer said. The healthy behaviors are: not smoking, eating a healthy diet, doing moderate or vigorous physical activity, and drinking

Sizing up denim By SARAH WILSON Jeans now are a go-to item in every woman’s wardrobe, and with all the fits, styles and lengths available, there is no reason to settle for jeans that only “sort of fit.” Whether a woman is short, tall, skinny, curvy, young or 50-plus, there is a perfect pair of jeans for each unique body type. Plus, though denim used to be acceptable only in the most casual of circumstances, darker denim now is being worn for dressier occasions. Nancy Lehtman, co-owner of Distinctions in Chesterfield, said she is seeing colored jeans and various washes return to the fashion scene. “I’m getting people into jeans that never wore jeans before because particular brands are flattering to different people, so everyone’s loving it,” Lehtman said. Kim Riordan, owner of Jeans, Jackets & Jewels in Chesterfield, has lots of experience helping women find jeans that fit. “Just because you have a certain body type doesn’t mean you have to wear one style of jeans,” she said. The most universal fit for the averagesized woman is a mid-rise, boot-cut jean. To make legs look longer and slimmer in boot-cut jeans, wear them with a pointytoed shoe. Cigarette leg jeans elongate the leg line, and wearing them with heels makes legs appear even longer. For women who are concerned about appearing flat in the back, Meg Meyer, of

Curvier women should look for larger pockets that make the rear look slimmer and more proportionate, she said. “If you need more room in the leg, look for a curvy, fit denim,” Riordan said.
