Fables for adults O l i Many years ago, as a small child, I was told one of those old-fashioned fables for children.

It was about a dog with a bone in his mouth, who was walking on a log across a stream. The dog looked down into the water and saw his reflection. He thought it was another dog with a bone in his mouth - and it seemed to him that the other dog’s bone was bigger than his. He decided that he was going to take the other dog’s bone away and opened his mouth to attack. The result was that his own bone fell into the water and was lost.

At the time, I did not like that story and wished they had not told it to me. But the passing years and decades have made me realize how important that story was, because it was not really about dogs but about people.

Today, we are living in a time when the President of the United States is telling us that he is going to help us take that other dog’s bone away - and the end result is likely to be very much like what it was in that children’s fable.

Whether we are supposed to take that bone away from the doctors, the hospitals, the pharmaceutical companies or the insurance companies, the net result is likely to be the same - most of us will end up with worse medical care than we have available today. We will have opened our mouth and dropped a very big bone into the water.

While I was told a story in my childhood to help me understand something about the real world, today adults are being told things to reduce them to childish thinking.

The most childish of all the things being said in the august setting of a joint session of Congress was that millions of people can be added to the government’s health insurance plan without increasing the federal deficit at all. If the President of the United States could do that, it is hard to imagine what he would do as an encore. Walking on water would be an anti-climax.

What is equally childish is the notion that the great majority of Americans who have medical insurance, and who say they are satisfied with it, should be panicked and stampeded into supporting vast increases in the arbitrary power of Washington bureaucrats to take medical decisions out of the hands of their doctors - all ostensibly because a minority of Americans do not

I OPINION I 3

have medical insurance.

There was a time, within living memory, when most Americans did not have health insurance - and it was not the end of the world, as so many in politics and the media seem to be depicting it today.

As someone who lived through that era, and who spent decades without medical insurance, I find it hard to be panicked and stampeded into bigger and worse problems because some people do not have medical insurance, including many who could afford it if they chose to.

What did we do, back during the years when most Americans had no medical insurance? I did what most people did. I depended on a “single payer� - myself.

When I did not have the money, I paid off my medical bills in installments.

The birth of my first child was not covered by medical insurance. I paid off the bill, month by month, until the time finally came when I could tell my wife that the baby was now ours, free and clear.

In a country where everything imaginable is bought and paid for on credit, why is it suddenly a national crisis if some people cannot pay cash up front for medical treatment?

That is not the best way to do things for all people and all medical treatments, which is why most Americans today choose to have medical insurance. But millions of other people choose not to - often young and healthy people, sometimes deadbeats who use emergency rooms and do not pay at all.

Is this ideal? No. But if every deviation from the ideal is a reason to be panicked and stampeded into putting dangerous arbitrary powers into the hands of government, then go directly to totalitarianism, do not pass “Go,� do not collect $200.

And go ahead and drop your bone in the water, in hopes that you can get somebody else’s bigger bone. Š 2009 Creators.com

To The Editor: I am a racist. That is it. How simple.

Thanks for straightening me out on that, Chairman “O.” Before your administration pointed out that I am a racist for rejecting your policies, I had impure thoughts about an autocratic and dictatorial government between me and my health care. Polluted thoughts continued. I thought about increased taxes, loss of choice, invasion of privacy, end-oflife counseling and all those illegals who needed health care on my dime.

How incredibly self-centered I was.

I also thought about my 75-year-old mother on whose back you would ensure decreasing access to health care so that the younger and healthier taxpayers could fund this great program. Now I see that when you get old, you just get useless. Brilliant.

I am sorry, Chairman Obama. It will not happen again.

I have seen the light and accept the wisdom of your health care plan. As for the 57 percent of Americans who strongly disapprove of your move toward socialism, remember, they are just racists. With a little re-education, they will get it. It has nothing to do with your great vision.

Please help me with one more thing, Chairman. Did not a lot of white folks vote for you?

Scott Randall Ballwin To The Editor: In response to the editorial “Are You Smart Enough to Understand Health Care Reform,” I would have to ask the editor, are you?

Obviously not, because it is apparent you have also fallen under the spell of most conservative Republican leaders and pundits concerning this subject and decided to just add bogus outlandish drivel to your argument.

Really. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid want to determine what happens when your child gets sick? You mean, other than making sure uninsured families finally get the coverage they deserve?

Oh, I see what you are doing. You want to “suggest” to your fellow conservatives that Democrats will have some say as to medical decisions concerning their families. Same as Sarah Palin and Chuck Grassley “suggest” there will be death panels to encourage ending your grandparents’ lives if it gets too expensive. Same as House Minority Leader John Boehner “suggests” public money would be used to fund abortions. Same as Rep. Joe Wilson and many others “suggest” that coverage would

extend to include illegal immigrants. Same as Rush Limbaugh “suggests” the government would have access to individual bank accounts. Same as countless Republican claims “suggesting” this will all lead to socialism or fascism or communism. Oh, just pick one.

Obviously, you are intelligent enough to realize that President Barack Obama was speaking to you and your like-minded brethren when he said he would “speak clearly.” And obviously, you realized he was actually saying, “I’m going to call you all liars because that’s what you’ve been doing.” Only he was being polite. But it was probably all for naught.

While watching interviews of attendees of the Sept. 12 March on Washington, person after person spouted the same lies and rhetoric: death panels, abortion coverage, illegal immigrant coverage, socialism.

Oh, and how Obama is still not an American.

These are your Town Hall protesters, your tea-baggers, your average Joes as they “disagree with the President’s policies.” Clearly we have some challenges ahead of us. For while it may be possible to fix health care, in the words of Ron White, “You can’t fix stupid.”

Bill Duncan Wildwood

President Obama and the liberal wing of the Democrat party just need to be willing to set aside their egos and listen.

Carl Schroeder Wildwood

To The Editor: In response to your question of the week, I believe most people are smart enough to understand health care reform. However, you conveniently gloss over a very important point that applies to most people and that has to do with their biases.

In your editorial, you quoted Humphrey Taylor and his thoughts that most Americans are strongly influenced by political rhetoric. It is common knowledge that people will only seek out “facts” that support their biases: conservatives will seek out only conservative viewpoints that support their biases, and liberals will do exactly the same.

West Newsmagazine is a perfect example of this bias; because most of West County is conservative, it is strongly biased in that direction and frankly, there is nothing wrong with that fact as long as you realize it.

The issue really is that bias and intelligence are two different things. A better question would have been: Can people overcome their biases in order to understand (any topic)?

To The Editor: People claim that the government cannot The fallacy of President Barack Obama’s run an effective health program. So, are we argument on health care reform is that there now going to do away with Medicare?

SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 WEST NEWSMAGAZINE

EDITORIAL

Best place for the race card? Back in the deck The election of Barack Obama, this country’s first African-American president, should have been a bellwether of positive race relations in this country. The glass ceiling that many blacks believed was firmly entrenched had been shattered.

A black man held the most powerful position in the world; equality had been achieved.

But that is not how it has played out.

The reality is that race relations seem worse than they have been in 30 years.

Instead of the election of a black president signaling that race no longer is an issue in anything, race has become an issue in everything.

When U.S. Congressman Joe Wilson, of South Carolina, yelled “You lie!” at President Obama during his address to Congress recently, former President Jimmy Carter assigned racism as a contributing factor. Carter even insinuated that all the growing criticism of President Obama and his policies are more about race than politics.

Carter’s claims are ridiculous. When has good, old-fashioned partisan politics not been reason enough for this country to show its less dignified side?

Whether you choose to agree or disagree, President Obama is putting himself out there on domestic policy issues more emphatically than any president in recent memory, and with that level of action there is certain to be a level of negative reaction. Former President George W. Bush also made some bold choices - and certainly had no shortage of detractors but nobody claimed race was a factor.

The gatherings that Tea Party protesters have organized, including the one right

here in O’Fallon, are being assigned racist motives. Numerous people are claiming that these are nothing more than thinlyveiled neo-Nazi rallies that white supremacists attend. Clearly that is not the case, but the implications are out there - and those implications add a deviousness to the arguments being made.

One must wonder exactly how palpable the racial tensions have become.

Recently, when a white child was beaten by two black children on a Belleville school bus, was race a factor?

It may not have been the only factor, as school and police officials claim the dispute began over the choice of a seat on the bus, but many believed there certainly were racial undertones to this incident. Everyone seemed to be holding their collective breath as the incident unfolded, fearful that this could be an incendiary incident that devolved into further racial strife.

In 1856, when one Senator beat another bloody with his cane on the Senate floor, people claimed the incident was the result of growing hostility in the country that eventually would lead to civil war.

Today’s disagreements cannot be allowed to plunge the country down that far.

The race card needs to be put back in the deck. It is being used right now as a scapegoat. This country - black, white and brown - needs to be able to have debate without having discontent; we should be able to disagree without being labeled racists. The issues that face us today - health care, national defense, privacy - will define us in the future.

We cannot let that definition include the specter of racism.

When has good, oldfashioned partisan politics not been reason enough for this country to show its less dignified side?

Question of the week:

Catching on Photo by Steve Glover

NewsmagazineNetwork.com, the official Web site of West Newsmagazine, now features expanded sports coverage, breaking game scores, and photos from the biggest games.

Quotable: “What’s occurring now will adversely impact medical care. I think my cat could’ve done a better job of analyzing the situation regarding who is the problem and what is the problem.”

- Kerri Houston Toloczko, senior policy director and spokeswoman for the Patients First group that is conducting the “Hands Off My Health Care Bus Tour,” which recently stopped in Creve Coeur.

“Until ACORN makes a full account of every dime of taxpayer money it has spent and is fully cleared of its alleged illegal activity, it should not receive one more cent from the federal government.”

Sen. Lamar Alexander, Republican from Tennessee

CHESTERFIELD Public invited to ribbon cutting for new Hwy. 40 ramps

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), and its contractor, Gershenson Construction Co., Inc., will celebrate the completion of new ramps between Spirit of St. Louis Blvd. and Interstate 64/ Hwy. 40 with a ribbon cutting at 1:30 p.m.

Sept. 30.

The public is invited to the celebration, which will be held on the I-64/Hwy. 40 North Outer Road at the new roundabout for the exit ramp from I-64/Hwy. 40 to Spirit of St. Louis Blvd. Those interested in attending can exit I-64/Hwy. 40 at Boone’s Crossing and take the outer road west to the ribbon cutting. Attendees can park on the outer road just before the roundabout.

The $1.5 million project was a cost share between MoDOT, Chesterfield, St. Louis County and Duke Realty. The project added an exit ramp from westbound I-64/ Hwy. 40 to Spirit of St. Louis Blvd. and an entrance ramp from Spirit of St. Louis Blvd. eastbound I-64/Hwy. 40.

Metro West hosts safety fair Sunday The Metro West Fire Protection District hosts its fourth annual Safety Fair from noon to 4 p.m. on Sun., Oct. 4 at the Metro West Station 3 (17065 Manchester Road in Wildwood).

This event will be a unique opportunity for residents of all ages to gather and learn how they can make the community a safer place to live all the while enjoying free hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and other refreshments.

“This year’s Safety Day will be more interactive with games for the kids, learning stations for the adults and tours and displays that will interest everyone,” said Bob Reboulet, chairman of the Board of Directors for Metro West.

There will be a fire extinguisher contest for children; an opportunity for adults to learn with a controlled but real fire how to use a dry chemical fire extinguisher; and an opportunity for children to use a real fire hose.

At 1 p.m., paramedic/firefighters will be on the big screen with a demonstration of the newest paramedic technology available today. They will simulate a cardiac arrest and treat a victim, showing what occurs from the call for 9-1-1, to the arrival of the Metro West Paramedic Unit, and while the patient is being transported to the hospital.

“We feel strongly that this demonstration will show our residents how prepared

For the first time in its history, the Missouri Association of Republicans, which has hosted the annual Lincoln Days convention for 108 years, has chosen St. Charles County as the site for the Feb. 26-28, 2010, state-wide event.

“We’re really excited,” said Lincoln Days host and 2010 state Republican Association Chairman Steve Ehlmann, who also is the County Executive. “Normally this event revolves between Springfield, Kansas City and St. Louis. But we’ve got a convention center now that can compete with those cities.”

Events will be held at the St. Charles Convention Center and the Embassy Suites Hotel. Ehlmann said the schedule of events and keynote speakers are pending.

“We’ve sent an invitation to several, including Sarah Palin, but haven’t heard back yet,” Ehlmann said. “We are in the planning stages for everything. One thing we really need is volunteers. This is a big undertaking.: Anyone wishing to help the St. Charles County Republican Central Committee, which is acting as the local coordinating organization for volunteers, can contact Tom Kuypers at 947-1617 or tokpachyderm@aol.com, or Dee and Roland Wetzel at r.wetzel@att.net or 946-0873.

More police officers will patrol streets St. Louis County Police Chief Timothy Fitch recently announced a reorganization of the St. Louis County Police Department and new police positions, resulting in additional officers on the street.

Thirty-eight police positions including three sergeants, two detectives and 33 officers have been deployed for additional coverage, special enforcement teams and as Juvenile Policing Officers, to enhance the Youth Violence Initiative started in January.

“Prior to becoming chief of police I attended many citizen functions where I was able to interact with the public and learn what they wanted from their police department,” Fitch said. “Overwhelmingly the response that I received is that people want to see police cars and officers in their neighborhoods and improved response time

to calls. One of the first things I did after becoming chief was to sit down with my commanding officers and evaluate every position in our department, over 1,000 employees, to ascertain if their assignment was the most efficient and effective use of the individual. In addition, we were able to hire 14 new officers in 2009 to support the Youth Violence Initiative recommended

by St. Louis County Executive Charlie A. Dooley.”

Fraud alert Customers at area banks may be getting calls or texts alerting them to the fact that their ATM cards have been deactivated. But be forewarned, this is a phishing scheme.

Typically, the caller will state they are calling from a particular bank the customer has an account with and claim there is a problem with an ATM card, usually that it has been deactivated. The customer will be prompted to call or text back with personal information, including a personal identification number (PIN).

However, Rockwood Bank Senior Vice President Jeff Gass said his bank, like most banks, would never call and request personal information.

“We have no reason to ever ask for a PIN number,” Gass said.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reported that this was a scheme that has been used for several years, but it still happens frequently.

Anyone who receives a suspicious call asking for personal banking information is asked to report it to the local police department.

‘Hands Off My Health Care’ Bus tour brings petition to Creve Coeur

By JULIE BROWN PATTON For Americans concerned about government intervention in health care, there is a national petition to sign. As part of the “Hands Off My Health Care Bus Tour” that a group called Patients First is conducting, Creve Coeur was one of 35 stops this month covering cities in Missouri and 11 other states at which signatures were gathered.

The bus tour is being hosted as a project of Americans for Prosperity (AFP), a non-profit, grassroots organization committed to advancing every individual’s right to economic freedom and opportunity.

AFP has 24 state chapters and more than 700,000 members from all 50 states. Its headquarters are in Washington, D.C. Patients First organizers said that if the currently-proposed health care reform measures are passed, U.S. citizens will lose four vital factors, including their choice of doctors; control of health insurance options; timely access to quality health care; and money by paying for a government takeover.

“I urge you to oppose any legislation that imposes greater government control over my health care that would mean fewer choices for me and my family and even deny treatments to those in need,” the petition states. “Congress must not let

government get between my family and my doctor.

Please protect patient freedom and expand our health care options with real reforms - focused on An initiative that Washington, D.C.-based Americans for Prosperity launched includes a bus tour of U.S. cities, which stopped in Creve Coeur on Sept. 17.

AmerenUE to use trash as an alternative power source

By CASEY GODWIN In the near future, the trash could be powering homes.

AmerenUE recently announced an agreement with Fred Weber Inc. to install combustion turbines at its Maryland Heights landfill. The turbines would turn burned-off methane gas into electricity, producing 15 megawatts annually. That amount of electricity would be enough to power 10,000 homes.

AmerenUE plans to purchase the methane from Fred Weber, which currently has a similar operation in place to produce power for Pattonville High School, Jaeger Greenhouse and Fred Weber’s asphalt plant.

AmerenUE spokesman Tim Fox said that as the material in a landfill degrades, it pro-

duces methane gas. Currently, Fred Weber has 120 landfill wells that are connected to 2 miles of high-density plastic pipe. The methane is delivered through the pipe to the turbines by way of a blower plant that delivers 6,000 cubic feet of landfill gas per minute.

“It’s a distribution mechanism and currently most of the gas is just burned off, so it’s just waste,” Fox said. “AmerenUE will be tapping into that blower mechanism and instead of that gas being burned off, the gas would be sent to a combustion turbine power plant where it would be burned and used to generate electricity.”

AmerenUE plans to build a power plant, which is estimated to cost between $35 and $45 million. While it is a fraction of

the price of a coal plant, which could cost upwards of $1 billion, a typical coal plant produces a much larger amount of electricity, or approximately 2,400 megawatts.

AmerenUE is conducting engineering studies to determine the best location to place the three combustion turbines. Construction of the turbines is expected to begin in 2010.

“Unlike most combustion plants, which burn natural gas and only operate in times of peak demand, these turbines would run 24-7 and provide a constant source of power for our customers,” Fox said.

Expected to be in operation in 2011, the project would be the largest of its type in Missouri and among the largest in the nation.

“Our agreement with UE is a win-win for the companies, the environment and the community,” said Tom Dunne Jr., Fred Weber president and chief operating officer, in a statement. “The community gets a reliable source of electric power from a renewable resource that doesn’t emit additional carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.”

Last November, Missouri voters approved Proposition C, or “Missouri’s Clean Air Initiative,” which requires investor-owned utilities to get 15 percent of energy from renewable sources, such as biomass, solar and wind, by 2015. A shorter deadline of 2 percent renewable energy is required by 2011. Fox said AmerenUE recently began purchasing 102 megawatts of electricity from an Iowa wind farm.

Wildwood dance hall on historic register

636-536-2002

By JULIE BROWN PATTON To commemorate one of Wildwood’s longest continually run operations, Stovall’s Grove Rockhorse Saloon was added to the city’s historic registry at the Sept. 14 Wildwood City Council meeting.

Located off Hwy. 100 at 18720 Stovall Lane, the Old Stovall’s Grove Tavern was one of several buildings and land parcels that George and Mollie Stovall purchased in the 1930s. The set of buildings at that time served as a tavern, dance hall, general store and post office. The site also functioned as a stagecoach/wagon train stop between 1845 and 1904.

When the original tavern building burned in 1958, the current dance hall became the primary building on the site. The grove still is used for concerts and outdoor seating.

Residents appeal judge’s decision regarding Schnucks tax district

As

!

AXXWd 7jb[dWe #"!#'!"+

Wildwood’s historic preservation ordinance is comprised of 13 criteria that the U.S. Department of Interior’s National Park Service created. Joe Vujnich, Wildwood’s planning and parks director, said that only one of the 13 criteria has to be met for a property to be considered. The Wildwood Historic Preservation Commission determined that Stovall’s complies with four of the items.

Wildwood City Councilmember Ron James (ward 6) said Stovall’s is “loaded with historic significance” and the list of musicians who have performed there is “a mile long.”

This historic designation now provides a partnership through which Stovall’s owners and city officials can protect the saloon’s property and character in the future.

By JULIE BROWN PATTON Some West County residents said they will appeal the Sept. 10 ruling of St. Louis County Associate Circuit Court Judge Judy Draper regarding her denial of a motion to intervene in the creation of a Transportation Development District (TDD). The TDD is being used in conjunction with the development of Schnucks store near the intersection of Clarkson and Kehrs Mills Roads in Ballwin.

Lori Willis, Schnucks director of communications, said the judge indicated the TDD was properly formed under the applicable law in effect at the time the court initially considered the matter.

“In applying the law, Draper found that residents did not have a legal basis to challenge the decision to form the TDD,” Willis said.

On Sept. 21, Stephen Kling Jr., attorney for the coalition of residents, filed an appeal with the Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District. He said a three-judge panel would be assigned to the case.

“We intend to emphasize we have standing and that a public hearing should be scheduled to help determine whether the TDD is just and reasonable,” Kling said.

“We also intend to continue our argument that the way this TDD is designed, with one owner and in the middle of a residential area, it imposes a sales tax without a popular vote, which is in violation of the Hancock Amendment.”

The Hancock Amendment to the Missouri Constitution is designed to ensure that political subdivisions cannot impose tax increases without a popular vote. The appeal process could take several months.

St. Louis County Police are first to try â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bait housesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to catch thieves

By CASEY GODWIN Foreclosed homes have become a prime target for thieves and vandals in St. Louis County, and police have come up with creative ways to catch them.

Officials for the St. Louis County Police Department are beginning to outfit houses much in the same way they already set up bait cars. Like the bait cars, which are equipped with tracking devices in order to catch auto thieves, police are equipping foreclosed homes with surveillance equipment and tracking devices to catch criminals who break into these homes.

St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch said criminal activity in foreclosed homes has increased in areas that have seen heavy foreclosure rates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Criminals) break into these homes and use them for illicit purposes, such as drug use, or theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll strip all the copper out to sell it,â&#x20AC;? Fitch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go in and just destroy it - kick holes in the walls and tear out sinks and strip out washers, dryers and dishwashers. Basically, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll vandalize it and steal what they see as valuable.â&#x20AC;?

Fitch said the St. Louis County Police Department is the first in the country to try the bait house technique. Detectives in the burglary unit recently approached the chief with the concept and suggested using technology that the department already owns.

Police will be placing motion sensors and video cameras at the properties that can alert police of activity in the home and record images to be used later as evidence. Props fitted with electronic tracking devices will be left in the home in order

to track down thieves who leave the scene before police arrive.

Any homes used in the program will be rented to give police legal authority to be in the home, Fitch said. Police then will be allowed to use the home as a bait house for as long as it is needed or until the home is sold. The program will start by setting up one bait house at a time, but if it proves to be successful, the program may expand to include multiple bait houses.

Some neighborhood associations already

have tried to thwart criminal activity by making foreclosed homes appear to be occupied, Fitch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually seen some of the windows boarded up that still look like windows and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really plywood, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re painted to look like windows,â&#x20AC;? Fitch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the street it is very difficult to tell that those arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t windows.â&#x20AC;?

Now when criminals enter a foreclosed home, the police might already be on their way.

Former prosecutor faces child porn charges

By GRETCHEN A. HARMAN Dick Fox, the now-former prosecuting attorney for the city of Ballwin, in August was arrested and released on an undisclosed amount of bond for charges related to possession of child porn.

According to the indictment from the U.S. Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, from Feb. 26, 2008, to March 24, 2009, Fox had images on his computer of a young girl or girls involved in sex acts.

If convicted of possessing child porn, Fox could face up to 10 years in prison.

Ballwin Mayor Tim Pogue said in a press release that the city of Ballwin sent out that the city received and accepted Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resignation following the filing of charges.

Pogue also announced that Fox will be replaced by Keith Cheung, a senior partner with the firm of Curtis, Heinz, Garrett and Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe, P.C. Pogue also said that provisional judge, Virginia Nye, was named municipal judge on Sept. 14 and that he intends to nominate local attorney Don Anderson to the provisional judge position.

Fox, a long-tenured prosecutor for the city of Ballwin, cited personal reasons for his decision to resign. He was, until recently, also the prosecuting attorney for Clarkson Valley, a back-up municipal judge in Eureka and a private attorney at the firm Curtis, Heinz, Garrett and Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe.

Manchester open house celebrates new police station, City Hall

By CASEY GODWIN Manchester police, municipal court, city staff and aldermen are moving up – or, rather, east and across the street. City officials held a grand opening and open house of the new police facility on Sept. 19 and 20, where hundreds of residents got their first chance to walk through the new building.

The new 24,000-square-foot facility will not only house the Manchester Police Department, but also has space for city staff, municipal court and Manchester Board of Aldermen meetings. Located at 200 Highlands Boulevard Drive (along Manchester Road east of Hwy. 141), the nearly $9 million building will mostly replace the current City Hall building that is located on Manchester Road just west of Hwy. 141.

Acting Manchester Police Chief Tim Walsh recounted how the police department continued to outgrow the buildings it was housed in throughout the years. When Walsh started on the force 26 years ago, he said the force had 17 personnel; today, the police force includes 41 officers and is in the process of hiring an additional officer.

In 1984, the department moved from a small bank building just west of City Hall to a new police facility built underneath City Hall. “(The city) literally propped up City Hall and dug out the ground underneath it,” Walsh said. “It had a lieutenant’s office, sergeant’s office, detective’s office, small workout room and locker room. For a holding cell, we had a chain-link cage and when that got full, which took usually only one or two people, we had eye holes along the wall and the third person would get handcuffed to the wall.”

The space under City Hall served the department until the 1990s, when the city annexed some surrounding areas and nearly doubled in size. By 2000, there were 41 police officers in the basement of City Hall, a space originally meant to accomlwcc-ad.indd 1

modate less than 20.

The department split operations between two buildings at that time and began using an off-site facility half a mile west of City Hall for field operations. In 2002, city officials placed a bond issue on the ballot to build a larger and more modern facility.

Manchester Mayor Dave Willson said the bond issue came at the same time Pace Properties approached the city about developing the Manchester Highlands project.

The new facility was put on hold briefly and later revisited as a potential part of the Pace development.

Willson said there have been many changes to the design along the way.

“The aldermen have approved 33 change orders – anywhere from a lightning rod to new door locks to sprinkler heads – all kinds of stuff you don’t think about and weren’t in the design in 2004 but had to be in the design for 2009 requirements,” Willson said.

The new facility, which is expected to be fully operational and staffed by the end of the month, will be open 24 hours with clerks at the entrance that can contact police in the event of an emergency and provide additional city services. The city is in the process of hiring three additional clerks to serve the overnight shift.

The lower floor will serve as a police station, with a state-of-the-art mini laboratory to process evidence; a modern jail facility that can house both adults and juveniles separately; line-up rooms; plenty of evidence storage; a roll call room; spacious locker rooms; detective bureau offices; interview rooms; and a large fitness center.

The second floor of the building features a new court room/aldermen chambers, conference rooms, court clerk offices, administrative staff offices, and police chief, sergeant and lieutenant offices.

Chesterfield unveils master plan for pedestrian and bicycle trail system

By CASEY GODWIN The city of Chesterfield is well on its way to having a master plan for a walkable and bikeable community.

With the help of Trailnet Inc., the city has envisioned creating a community-wide pedestrian and bicycle network that would connect residents to schools, parks and commercial areas within Chesterfield as well as to neighboring cities.

At a Sept. 16 public forum, residents were able to see through the proposed plan, which is near completion, and make comments. At a previous forum in June, residents came together to give input on what a bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly community should look like. In July, the city and Trailnet took to the streets to see firsthand what the walking and biking experience in Chesterfield is like.

Ben Niesen, civil engineer for Chesterfield, said residents have been involved in the process by attending the public forums and through e-mail, phone or other communications with the city. The city first became aware of residents’ desire for a bicycle and pedestrian master plan in 2002, when a parks and recreation survey identified walking and biking programs being the most in need.

In November 2004, voters approved Proposition P, which provided a funding source for new recreational facilities and the development of the bicycle and pedestrian master plan. Niesen said the plan encompasses the entire city.

“There’s no place we’ve missed,” Niesen said. “It includes everything from bike accommodations, which are warning signs to share the roadway, to bike routes, a couple recommended bike lanes, sidewalk improvements and even a multi-use trail.”

Niesen said city staff expects to present the plan to the Chesterfield City CounMANCHESTER, from page 16 A sally port at the rear of the facility will allow for the secure transportation of prisoners.

The entire building is connected to a massive generator that will keep the building in power for a minimum of 10 days.

Walsh said the City Hall building will still get used, but all government meetings will be moved to the new facility.

“We do public trainings, police academy and CERT training, which we can also do here, but let’s say there is a board meeting that night,” Walsh said. “Now we can just go across the street (to the old City Hall) and hold them there. It is really nice having a second place. There have been times we’ve had to use the public works garage because City Hall was full.”

cil later this year or in early 2010. If it is adopted, Niesen said he anticipates implementation of the plan could be a slow process and that timing, particularly as to the availability of funding, would play a role on how and when the plan would unfold.

Niesen said Chesterfield opted to work with Trailnet after seeing the organization’s repeated success in working with other cities. Trailnet’s bike walk planner, Kevin Neill, said that the organization was able to use federal transportation enhancement funds to cover 80 percent of the cost

of planning. Chesterfield funded 10 percent and Trailnet’s planning consultants funded the other 10 percent.

In addition to creating a complete trail network within Chesterfield, Trailnet has helped the city identify options to connect to other communities.

“For example, Wildwood has an extensive trail system and a lot of people in Chesterfield are anxious to get there without having to drive,” Neill said.

The master plan also would include options to connect to Creve Coeur Park

and future possibilities to connect to the Katy Trail just across the Missouri River.

A 17-mile trail system currently is being developed on the Monarch Chesterfield Levee. The Great Rivers Greenway District, in cooperation with the city of Chesterfield and the Monarch Chesterfield Levee District, is developing the trail. A roughly 5-mile portion already is open to the public.

More information and a survey regarding the master plan can be found at chesterfield.mo.us/bike.html.

Wildwood, landlord debate best option for future city hall

By JULIE BROWN PATTON The Wildwood City Hall Steering Committee 16-month initiative to develop a long-range plan for a facility that best meets the city’s future needs is being discussed in public hearings. The focus is on whether the city should remain in its current building and expand, or construct a completely new building elsewhere.

The committee discussed the following key components: lease versus own; location; facility alternatives; building style and design; facility size; budget and finances; project schedule; and final approval process. The committee analyzed proposals from local property owners and at least four of the area’s largest developers: McLain Properties, St. Onge Management and Exchange Corp., Greenburg Development Co. and Koman Properties.

Wildwood City Councilmember Bart Cohn (ward 1), who serves as the City Council liaison on the steering committee, said that financial projections for the next 10 years indicate that constructing a city hall on property that the city already owns clearly is the best option.

During the Aug. 24 City Council meeting, a representative of the city’s current landlord, Koman Properties, asked for another opportunity to present a proposal to the full City Council. Scott Haley, Koman’s director of development, did so at the Sept. 14 meeting.

Haley’s prior projections showed a “less than $4 million package” for a combined city hall and police sub-station, but during the most recent presentation, he outlined an estimated $4.7 million worksheet.

He said Koman Properties is proposing that the city buy the portion of the current building and land it is renting. Koman would transfer the title of that lot to the city and of another lot on which to construct a separate police facility that would connect to a public parking garage.

Haley said this option would reserve the city’s other land parcel for a future park or

community events space.

Haley added that the appraised value of the current property the city owns is $2,991,700, according to St. Louis County assessor records.

However, Wildwood City Administrator Dan Dubruiel said the Koman proposal “involves the condominium conveyance of portions of the building currently occupied for city hall exclusive of that occupied by National City Bank.” He said Koman is placing a very high value on the bank space and lease, because in the past, Koman offered to sell the entire building and land for $5.85 million.

Under the Koman scenario, Dubruiel said the city winds up with the same amount of space and facilities, and would not be able to accommodate future growth needs.

Koman officials contend that a police facility could be built for $725,000, but Dubruiel said the amount equates to only $145 per square feet for a 5,000-squarefoot building. Dubruiel said committee members could not see how that cost included architectural and engineering services; interior finish-out construction; and the specialty requirements for a police station.

Dubruiel said the “value” that Koman officials associated with the current cityowned property likely is inflated.

Cohn said the steering committee commissioned a professional appraisal for the land during the fall of 2008, and it was $960,000.

Committee members said that four summary points justify why the Koman proposal is not the best option: the city gets less space; it would not achieve the goal of a joint city hall/police facility; constructing a separate police building where proposed would be incompatible with Wildwood Town Center development requirements; and the proposal does not satisfy the longterm city needs that have been the principal objectives since the beginning of the analysis process.

ELLISVILLE

Officials clarify regulations on red light cameras

Fall Special

By TED DIXON JR. The Ellisville City Council on Sept. 16 amended a section of its municipal code regarding its red light cameras. The action was made to clarify and revise the requirements and enforcement procedures as well as to establish collection fees for the city’s photo enforcement at traffic signals.

Earlier this year, Ellisville placed cameras at certain intersections, including Manchester and Clarkson Roads as well as Clarkson and Clayton Roads. Since the cameras have been in installed, officials said they have noticed that some defendants have failed or refused to respond to a notice of a traffic violation.

Ellisville City Attorney Paul Martin said the changes to the city’s ordinance have to do with the violators’ failure to appear in local municipal court to address the violations. The amendment clarifies the process for responding to a photo enforcement violation notice.

It is a violation for a car to be present in an intersection controlled by a traffic control signal when: • The signal is emitting a steady red signal for the direction of travel or orientation of the vehicle in or through the intersection.

• The signal is emitting a steady red signal for the direction of travel or orientation of the car in or through the intersection and

the car fails to stop prior to making a righthand turn as provided in the city’s code.

Violators can pay a steep price if they are caught running a red light and the camera captures the action. Violators will receive a $100 fine for each violation. They are not subject to arrest and it is not considered a moving violation reportable to the Missouri Department of Revenue.

A motorist can provide an affidavit of non-viability that could possibly justify the “vehicle’s presence in the intersection.”

Martin then would examine the affidavit and eventually determine whether it provides sufficient information and proof of the claimed justification. If the affidavit is deemed appropriate, the citation will be waived.

Under the new amendment, if a violator fails to appear at an arraignment hearing, the case would be set for a bench trial. According to the amended ordinance, anyone who fails to appear at a scheduled hearing would be subject to a fee of $25 to cover court costs for each failure to appear.

There are exceptions, however. The city can adjudicate without penalty the case of any defendant who can prove that they failed to receive a citation for failure to appear due to a change of address or other situations beyond their control.

By TED DIXON JR. The Creve Coeur City Council on Sept.

14 officially approved a CVS Pharmacy store to be located at Olive Blvd. and Old Ballas Road.

The plan calls for Ohio-based Cedarwood Development to build the 13,000-squarefoot facility that would include a drivethrough window serving two lanes on 1.67 acres of property. The site originally was intended to be a multi-story office tower named City Place VII. That project never came to light, with the site left vacant.

However, the owner of the property, The Koman Group, struck a deal with CVS to set up a store in Creve Coeur.

Paul Langdon, Creve Coeur’s director of community development, called the proposed site “ideal for development.” The city worked out several pending issues with the developer regarding the development.

The Creve Coeur Planning and Zoning Commission had earlier voted 3-3 on the proposed pharmacy, thus not giving it a positive recommendation. Several reasons

for the commission’s initial vote included issues related to road improvements for the project.

Creve Coeur Mayor Harold Dielmann said the developer would add a driveway that will go out to Olive Blvd. heading eastbound from the store and that it also will place a divider down the middle of Olive Blvd. A bus stop also will be placed on the site.

Also, Koman is adding a medical office building next door to the site. There will be cross-access from the back of the building to Old Ballas, Dielmann said.

Several residents who spoke at the public hearing regarding the project gave it a glowing review.

Dielmann said the store should be up and running within six to eight months.

Meanwhile, Ellisville Mayor Matt Pirrello said that CVS officials have told him that the CVS Pharmacy in Ellisville will officially open on Jan. 17. He said officials told him that they wanted to open the store simultaneously with four other stores in the St. Louis area.

The Parkway students are: • Joy Qiyue He, a senior at Parkway Central High School. She plays the violin.

• Kathryn Colleen Bradley, a junior at Parkway South High. She plays the double bass.

The mission of the National High School Honors Orchestra is to competitively select the most talented young musicians from school orchestras in each state to assemble Parkway Superintendent Robert Malito and biennially and perform in a national show- Parkway West High School student Rajiv case, playing music from the professional Tarigopula.

and whether sending text messages while driving should be banned for all Missouri drivers.

Missouri Rep. John J. Diehl Jr. delivered a keynote address to students about

the importance of being an educated and involved citizen/voter. Students then talked one-on-one with elected officials in lively roundtable discussions. The evening concluded with some questions and answers.

More flu cases hit local schools

S&S

By DIANE PLATTNER Swine flu cases are hitting the Parkway and Rockwood School Districts, which continue to take a defensive approach.

Officials for Rockwood said that during the week of Sept. 14-18, there were 32 student cases and one staff case of confirmed influenza A. “Most doctors are not testing for H1N1; they’re assuming anyone who has the flu has H1N1,” Rockwood Spokesperson Kim Cranston said.

Cranston said Rockwood by the middle of the following week had 16 students reporting that they had the flu.

Parkway School District officials said about 160 students lately have been absent from Parkway South High, which is higher than the daily absence average of 100, or about 5 percent of the total student body.

Officials said they believe people are taking advice and being overly cautious when someone gets sick.

At the district level, Parkway officials are reporting approximately 7 percent of students absent from school, with about 60 percent reporting flu-like illness. They said 7 percent is higher than normal for this time of year and expect the number of reported flu-like illness to increase.

The latest flu-like reports come after both Rockwood and Parkway officials said they had received suspected or reported cases of some type of influenza, including type A, during the first few weeks of school.

“Due to the large number of type A cases, Missouri health officials aren’t testing for H1N1,” Parkway Superintendent Robert Malito and Parkway Manager of Health Services Lisa Harnacker wrote to parents.

Pawn_1AUG09.qxd 8/7/2009 11:49 AM Page 1 “If a child is diagnosed with type A flu, we assume it is swine flu.”

Because children and teenagers are the

primary carriers of the swine flu, they will be among the first priority to receive a swine flu vaccine around October, when about 160 million doses are expected to become available.

Meanwhile, officials in both districts said they continue to implement various preventative measures. Parkway has purchased 1,400 large hand sanitizer bottles which officials are distributing to every school classroom.

“Many already have them but this will blanket the district,” Parkway Spokesperson Paul Tandy said.

Both school districts are regularly cleaning heavy-traffic areas and working hard to educate students, staff and parents about proper preventative measures. Several Parkway high schools have shown the “Do it in Your Sleeve” video in the cafeterias, which officials say has been very well received.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is not recommending the closing of schools because of confirmed or suspected cases of influenza A or H1N1.

Instead, they ask anyone with flu symptoms, such as fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue, to stay home for three to five days and notify the school. Sick students should remain home until they have no symptoms for 24 hours without the aid of fever-reducing medication, officials said.

“Right now, we don’t have any plans to send additional letters out but we reevaluate every day,” Tandy said. “We’re all coming to realize this flu season will be much more active than usual and we all need to hunker down and get through it together. I’m glad parents are being proactive and keeping kids home if they don’t feel well.”

CBC running back stands tall despite modest physical stature

Award Winning Projects

BUELER, INC.

By WARREN MAYES Good things come in small packages, and so it is for Christian Brothers Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (CBC) football team with junior running Additions â&#x20AC;˘ Lower Levels â&#x20AC;˘ Kitchen & Baths back Josiah Stanfield. The running back Professional stands just 5-foot-6 and weighs a modest Design/Build Remodeling 180 pounds. His heart, talent and ability are on a much larger scale. www.BuelerInc.com â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just plays bigger than he is,â&#x20AC;? CBC Coach Scott Pingel said.

In his first three games this season, Stanfield rushed for 637 yards on just 81 carries for a 7.9 yard average per rush. He also scored nine touchdowns as the Cadets bolted to a 3-0 record out of the 2009 gate.

Stanfield is the latest of what has been a running back factory at CBC. Rayon Simmons and Roderick Alton held the job before Stanfield. Both had terrific careers as tailbacks for the Cadets. Under former A T r i b t e for CoachuBob Shannon, Simmons rushed 2,519 yards and 28 touchdowns.

Last year, a n d Alton ran for 1,964 yards and 19 touchdowns.

C o c k t a i l â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve good running D o o r T s ocblessed with p i been k backs C o n c e here recently at r CBC,â&#x20AC;?t Pingel: said. much a t fStanfield r gleaned i e from watching n o e r c two play. a l F r e H those o However, r l not feel he does f r o m Rintimidated in ufollowing them. s s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty hard following those guys, but I learned a lot from them,â&#x20AC;? Stanfield said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned from Rayon how to use the cutback and to read blocks. He was an excellent runner with his cutbacks and reading the whole field. I learned from Roderick how to read defenses. He was really good at reading a defense.â&#x20AC;?

Stanfield said he stays in touch with Simmons.

S/F â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talk to Rayon Simmons every Friday after the game,â&#x20AC;? Stanfield said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He tells 2 1/4" Solid Maple me everything I can work on and the things I do well. He always gives me good advice 3 1/4 Solid about different things with football.â&#x20AC;?

Pre Finished Of course, no back can run without a Oak Hardwood line blocking for him. Stanfield said his 3", 4", 5" Solid line helps him because they are huge. He Pre Finished S/F can use his size here to help confuse the Hickory Hardwood defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My size is a really big advantage I have 12 Months S/F over other teams because I have a pretty Same As Cash! big line in front of me and, with me being a smaller back, I hide behind my line so WE EMPLOY OUR OWN INSTALLERS! it makes it harder for defenses to find me,â&#x20AC;?

Stanfield said.

The offensive line has three returners this fall. That experience is paying off for Stanfield and the Cadets. Senior Andrew Ness is the center. Senior Chris Walters is at left tackle. Zach Fetter, an all-state defensive *SEE STORE *FREE end last year, is filling in at right tackle FOR DETAILS ESTIMATES until injured senior Kevin Holley returns.

Stanfield

Stanfield agreed. t to do with o my â&#x20AC;&#x153;My line has everything success because without those guys I cannot do anything,â&#x20AC;? Stanfield said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get along with my line very well; we are brothH o u r ers. We do aelot e n of things together, : t such 7 s has 8going out to eat - or just 1going to each0 otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house for some fun.â&#x20AC;? d s o f 3 began 1 o D Stanfield â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the u year with 4 a bang. o defending state â&#x20AC;&#x2122; champion s Against Hazel- C wood East, he rushed for 210 yards and caught a touchdown pass. Stanfield followed that with a 209-yard game and four touchdowns in a victory over Francis Howell North. In the third game, Stanfield gained 227 yards and a touchdown in a win over Chaminade.

The big totals for yards and touchdowns came to a halt in week four. Stanfield rushed for 87 yards on 21 carries against a determined DeSmet squad. The Spartans routed the Cadets 41-0. Still, Stanfield averaged 4.1 yards per attempt.

Pingel said that while people may say he is undersized, Stanfield has a great center of gravity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go down after the first hit,â&#x20AC;?

Pingel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like our little pinball.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sneaky explosive. He can get through the hole pretty quick. He sees the play before it happens. He visualizes the plays better as the season has gone along. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also learned he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to make every run a home run. Sometimes your backs always want to get to the outside and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 4-yard loss instead of a 2-yard gain. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning.â&#x20AC;?

Indeed. Stanfield wants to be more than a ball carrier. He wants to excel as a receiver and as a blocker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will say that I think I am a balanced back because I am not only just a speed back,â&#x20AC;? Stanfield said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can catch the ball out of the back field and I can also block for my quarterback.â&#x20AC;?

By WARREN MAYES

High school volleyball St. Joseph’s Academy traveled to Kentucky recently to play in the Louisville Invitational Volleyball Tournament. It marked the fifth year the Angels have played in the prestigious event. St. Joseph’s went 4-1 and finished with a third-place trophy.

“We see and play against the best teams in the nation,” St. Joseph’s Coach Karen Davis said.

The Angels’ lone loss came to national power Assumption of Louisville. St. Joseph’s took Assumption into three games before falling 25-12, 23-25, 25-8.

“We had poor ball control and Assumption is a great team,” Davis said. “We did take them to three games.”

However, the girls did not let the loss ruin their trip. The Angels defeated Manual (Ky.) 25-15, 25-21 to finish third.

“The girls rebounded and won their last match,” Davis said. “It made for a pleasant 5-hour bus ride home.”

St. Joseph’s went 28-9-2 and won the Class 4 state championship last year by beating Lee’s Summit West. It was the seventh title in school history. This year’s team is off to a good start, but Davis said

the girls can improve.

“We are not playing at our best yet and we are also playing without Cat McGrath,” Davis said. “She broke her foot at the end of August.”

The Angels also scored a big win when they beat rival Incarnate Word 19-25, 25-22, 25-23.

“It was a conference win,” Davis said.

“Conference matches are always huge. I’m pleased but not satisfied. We can improve in many areas.”

High school boys’ soccer The annual CBC round-robin tournament saw SLUH coming out on top. Other teams in the event included Vianney and DeSmet.

“SLUH did very well,” CBC Coach Terry Michler said. “It should build their confidence. They were not the favorite team going in.”

CBC lost 4-0 to SLUH and tied Vianney 1-1 before beating DeSmet 4-0. DeSmet also lost 4-0 to Vianney and 5-2 to SLUH. Vianney and SLUH fought to a 2-2 tie.

Going 1-1-1 did not please Michler.

“We expected to win the tournament,” Michler said. “I always tell my team that the first game in the tournament is the most important. Obviously, we blew that.”

But the Cadets came back and finished

strong with a shutout over DeSmet.

“DeSmet games are never easy,” Michler said. “We did score some nice goals and we played much better. I would have liked to have played that game vs. SLUH. The DeSmet game was what CBC should be like this year.”

Michler said his club has to start playing better.

“We have been very flat from the beginning, and there’s no reason for that,” Michler said. “We shook up the lineup after the SLUH game and that has helped the intensity level. Now, maybe we are better focused and deeper as a team. We now must regain what we lost in the SLUH game and the only way to do that is win and win and win. We were touted before the season and we fell flat early. Now it’s time to rebound.”

• • • Westminster Christian hosted its first shootout. Besides the host Wildcats, other teams in the field included McCluer North, Parkway West, Lindbergh, Bayless and Ladue.

Lindbergh won, topping McCluer North 2-0 after besting both Ladue and Bayless 4-0. Westminster took third, defeating Bayless 3-0. The Wildcats opened with a 2-1 loss to McCluer North and then defeated Parkway West 2-0.

The Wildcats lost to McCluer North by giving up a goal in the last 2 minutes of the game.

“It was a hard-fought game in which we felt we outplayed them,” Westminster

Coach Dan Legters said. “We hit the post four times and yet couldn’t get the second goal to go in.”

By rebounding with two wins, Legters said he was pleased with his club.

“I thought the tourney accomplished what we had in mind - providing us games against good opponents that would make us find ways to win,” Legters said.

High school boys’ cross country Parkway West Coach Dale Shepherd said winning the Stan Nelson Invitational was great for his Longhorns, but they have bigger ambitions.

“We have won the Parkway Quad but we want to win the (Suburban South) conference meet, qualify for state and then perform well at the state meet,” Shepherd said. “In all of the other meets, the Stan Nelson included, our goal is to learn to race together and to find out how each person can run their best race.”

It was the third straight year the Longhorns have won the Stan Nelson meet, which was run at the Northwest Intermediate School in House Springs. This was the first time to run on a newly-constructed course.

Parkway West won with 48 points. The other team scores included Eureka (75), Lafayette (92), Kirkwood (97), De Soto (117), Ft. Zumwalt North (128), Seckman (187), Northwest (Cedar Hill) (197), Duchesne (226), Hazelwood West (228), St. Charles (340) and Whitfield (381).

Mud Jacking Costs

75% Less Than Replacing Concrete!

How Mud Jacking Works:

It takes a skilled and experienced contractor with the right equipment.

1. A pattern of 1 1/2 inch holes are drilled through the sunken slab.

How it works...

2. The limestone and portland cement mixture is pumped under the slab. Our equipment can generate up to 750 psi in order to insure we can raise the tough jobs. Once any void is filled, the pressure generated raises the slab to the desired height.

3. The holes are patched using a non-shrinking concrete mixture.

Our team takes extreme care. We clean up completely before we leave. You make sure you are satisfied with the job before paying the bill. You will have a great repair job done by professionals to your satisfaction! Mud jacking is quick and painless.

High school football: Week six The game of the week is MICDS (Mary Institute-Country Day School) hosting Priory at 1 p.m. Saturday (Oct. 3). It will be the first home game of the season for the Rams.

Priory Coach Marty Combs said he would like for his Rebels to turn things around after losing 42-21 last year. The Rebels have not defeated the Rams since 2003.

Both teams play in the ABC League so this is a big game for any conference title hopes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We start every season with our main goal of winning the ABC League and the championship always goes through MICDS,â&#x20AC;? Combs said.

MICDS Coach Josh Smith agreed it is a big game for both teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This game means a lot to both schools,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are ABC League rivals, and in past years we shared a district, so there is a lot of history in the match-up.â&#x20AC;?

For the Rebels to prevail, Combs said two items are crucial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to control the line of scrim-

Priory soccer player Andrew Rhodes (6).

Boys’ soccer Coach hopes tournament victory will propel Priory

By WARREN MAYES The Priory soccer team won the recent St. Dominic Super Cup tournament, and Rebels Coach John Mohrmann said he hopes it will be a springboard for his club.

Priory defeated Wentzville Holt to win the championship.

The tournament field included defending Class 2 state champion and event host St. Dominic along with Timberland, Priory, Fort Zumwalt East, Holt, Lutheran North, Zumwalt West and Lutheran South.

“St. Dominic and Priory are regularly ranked in small schools,” Mohrmann said.

“Fort Zumwalt is regularly ranked in large schools, and Timberland and Holt both have very good up-and-coming soccer programs.”

For his team to capture the tournament for the first time since back-to-back titles in 2005 and 2006, Mohrmann said it speaks to the talent of his 2009 club.

“It shows that we can compete,” Mohrmann said. “A couple of the games could have gone either way, but we competed, put ourselves in a position to win and pulled out some games against good competition. We are still not playing as smoothly or intelligently as we can, but it’s a good start to the season.”

Priory scored a 3-0 win over Fort Zumwalt East and followed it with a 1-0 win over Timberland to play Holt for the championship.

Sophomore forward Andy Rhodes scored both goals for the Rebels and four overall in the three games Priory played in the tournament.

Rhodes scored his first goal at 8:28 in the first half to give the Rebels a 1-0 lead in the title game.

“The first goal was a cool, calm finish on a beautiful, slotted pass from junior forward Jack Wegmann,” Mohrmann said.

Holt then tied the game with 5:29 to play. Indians’ forward Kris Brown drilled a direct free kick from approximately 20 yards out past diving goalie Doug Hall.

Rhodes rode to the rescue for the Rebels and scored with 3:52 remaining.

“The game-winning goal Andrew manufactured through speed, hustle and luck,” Mohrmann said. “He pressured a Holt defender in their penalty area, forcing a deflection that spun into the far side of the net.”

Despite being a sophomore, Rhodes is a veteran for the Rebels.

“Andrew played a lot of varsity minutes last year as a freshman, and he will be as dangerous as any forward around this year,” Mohrmann said. “He’s a fast, dynamic player.”

Priory went 20-5 last season and won the ABC League championship. The Rebels won their district before falling to eventual state champ St. Dominic in the state quarterfinals.

Besides Rhodes, the other returning veterans include sophomore midfielders Jacob Mohrmann and Kyle Martin, junior midfielder Doug Brooking, and senior defenders Joe Altepeter and Dan Croghan.

Altepeter and Croghan are three-year starters and are co-captains.

“All the returning players are very good,” Mohrmann said.

That experience has helped fuel the good start.

Overall, Mohrmann said he is pleased with how his team is performing.

“We have already had some injuries, sickness and absences, so we are still trying to determine the best combination of players on the field,” Mohrmann said. “And we still have not clicked for long stretches of games. We will face many good teams ahead, but so far we have competed well.”

Before the cabinets, before the fixtures, before the tile, they see the siding.

By JULIE BROWN PATTON Thanks to an innovative service offered through St. Louis Children’s Hospital, families seeking advice about handling crises, behavioral issues or general health concerns can receive complimentary advice from the hospital’s parent education specialists between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Launched two years ago based on a generous donation from the Parriott Family’s Project Safety Net initiative, the (314) 454-TEEN help line has assisted more than 1,500 families with specific developments, said Lisa Hueckel, M.A., PLPC, one of the specialists who responds to calls.

Approximately 20 to 25 percent of the current call volumes are coming from West County parents, Hueckel said, although it is difficult to have completely accurate reports when many cell phones have “314” area codes and callers remain unidentified for privacy.

Lisa Imbs, Brooks Parriott and Clark Parriott, along with their mother, Sally Parriott Hailand, started 454-TEEN in honor of their father.

Hueckel said their professionals offer parents “accurate and just-in-time informa-

tion” concerning adolescent development and behavior.

“We realize how critical it is for parents to help their children navigate through the teenage years and how confusing and worrisome teenage behavior can be,” Hueckel said. “People sometimes just need to know what’s typical or atypical behavior.”

She said the call-in center reflects three basic levels of service, including providing an informed, empathetic adult with whom to exchange ideas; offering a professional for more detailed situations in which a decision has to be made about whether to contact a health care provider; and sharing a trained facilitator for the most serious inquiry when a young adult threatens to hurt himself/herself or someone else.

Common issues parents have raised include conflicts between family members; teenage moodiness and irritability; alcohol or drug usage; young adult responsibility and independence; school performance; changes in friends and managing peer pressure; young adult’s frequent worrying; eating disorders; and sexual activity.

For questions during times outside of the help line’s staffing hours, e-mail inquiries to 454TEEN@bjc.org.

Eureka High School freshman football player dies

By JULIE BROWN PATTON A freshman at Eureka High School died Sept. 15, a day after he collapsed at an after-school football practice at the school.

Rockwood School District officials identified the student as 14-year-old Delonte Campbell.

As students at Eureka High went through regular rounds of texting each other before arriving at school on the morning of Sept.

16, the messages contained somber reactions to losing one of their own classmates. Officials said that Campbell died at approximately 8:15 p.m. the night before, after being taken to St. Anthonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Medical Center and then to St. Louis Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital after he collapsed at practice on Sept. 14.

Eureka Principal Jim Wipke said additional counselors were on-hand at the school to talk to grieving students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our hearts go out to Delonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family.

We extend our deepest condolences to them in this time of loss,â&#x20AC;? Wipke said in an e-mail notification to parents.

School officials said the family is waiting for details about what medical condition caused the playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death.

A fund has been established to assist the family with burial arrangements. Financial donations are being sought at both Eureka High School and LaSalle Springs Middle School in Wildwood. Delonte was a student at LaSalle last year and his sister, Dionshay, is an eighth grader there now.

LaSalle counselors also are assisting stu-

‘HELICOPTER PARENTS’

By JULIE BROWN PATTON

How much hovering is too much when the stakes are so high?

C

urrent parental involvement in raising American children rightfully could be likened to a modern-day rendition of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”: My parents are way too involved in my business, says the first child. My parents are too busy and do not care about my life, says the second child.

Ahhhhh, says the third child, my parents are jus-s-s-st right, because they are there just when I need help.

So how much is too much help in today’s complicated world, when children face a multitude of pressures, competition and expectations once reserved only for adulthood?

During the last two decades, parents who are extremely or overly involved in their children’s lives have been coined “helicopter parents,” referencing the act of hovering very close to their children to provide attention, whether needed or not.

In Scandinavia, this phenomenon is known as “curling parenthood” to describe parents who attempt to sweep all obstacles out of their children’s paths, just like the sport of curling. In other countries, the situation is referred to as “overparenting,” when adults’ solutions for their child’s problems are to proactively keep them out of dangerous situations to avoid harm altogether.

College professors and administrators now reference “lawnmower parents” to describe mothers and fathers who attempt to smooth out and mow down all obstacles.

The term “Black Hawk parents” was developed for those who cross the line from excessive zeal to unethical behavior, such as writing their children’s college admission essays.

Some stories reflect parents who even attempt to interfere post-graduation at their children’s workplaces with salaries and promotions, after they supposedly are living on their own.

What’s a parent to do?

“There’s no doubt about it, parenting is

hard work,” said Julie Harrison, coordinator for guidance and counseling for the Parkway School District. “In this day and age, it’s not just about the real dangers that might confront our children. It’s also about the million things we imagine might happen to them. We protect them from milk that has hormones, strangers with candy, and music with offensive lyrics. We have to watch out for bad things that can happen from consuming aspartame, spending too much time in front of TV or video games, or carrying backpacks that are too heavy. To protect our kids, we have come to accept we must ‘Trust No One!’” She said parents, however, also must contend with children’s emotional wellbeing.

“It’s only natural we would want to protect our kids from the same sorrows we experienced as children,” Harrison said.

“We worry our kids don’t have enough or the right kind of friends. That other kids will laugh at their clothes or what’s in their lunchbox. It can’t be good for their selfesteem to spend so much time sitting on the bench. We’re quick to jump in with a banana split to ease the pain of losing the student council election.”

While parents do have the jobs of protecting their kids and giving them the best they can offer, she said being really good at taking care of our kids unfortunately also has its own hazards.

“Sometimes, we do it too well,” Harrison said.

Harrison believes raising kids is a fine balance between taking care of them and helping them take care of themselves.

“It goes to the old saying about giving them roots, then wings,” Harrison said. “If we jump in to help at every turn, we may be keeping them dependent instead of helping them grow.”

Harrison referenced observations from Nancy Weisman, a licensed clinical psychologist in Marietta, Ga., who noted that parents who rush to school with forgotten

homework or lunches each time their child forgets those items are not always doing their kids a favor. Weisman said some kids then feel a sense of entitlement to be taken care of this way, and expect their needs will always be met.

“That type of entitlement cycle isn’t realistic and may set kids up for disappointment when things don’t turn out the way they think they should,” Harrison said.

In addition, offering children too much help can make kids think adults do not believe they are capable of handling things themselves, she said.

“Kids who don’t get to practice taking care of the little things may not be able to handle the bigger problems they face later on,” Harrison said.

Other challenges occur when kids reject parents’ well-meaning efforts.

Ken Haller, pediatrician at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center and associate professor of pediatrics at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, said he believes parents should help kids learn to make their own decisions.

“If a parent becomes so enmeshed in the child’s life that they can’t let go, it becomes embarrassing for the child,” Haller said.

“Our children may not want us to go to school and talk to the teacher about a poor grade on a specific test. If a child realizes he didn’t study enough or in the right way, he doesn’t need us to fix the score. He may just need us to listen to him talk through the lesson he learned for himself.”

Harrison said adults also need to be aware of the invisible lessons being taught.

“If our response to slights we perceive our children have faced is to confront the opposition, we send a message about solving conflict,” Harrison said. “A better strat-

egy might be to bring everyone together to share all sides of the story, and then work together to come up with solutions. When it comes right down to it, sometimes, the things we worry about most, turn out to be the things that can bring us the greatest chance to soar. If we can let go of our fears as adults, maybe our kids will have the strength they need to battle their own.”

Crossing the employment line Theresa Judd, a local business owner, said she routinely hires young adults who are 16, 17 or 18 years old. She said she sometimes sees the “helicopter effect” when parents come to interviews with their children and try to talk for them.

“I have to pause and indicate that I’m interviewing the potential employee, and not the parents,” Judd said.

She said she is fine if adult customers want to inquire about openings with their children in mind, or to secure an application when they see she has an opening.

“But beyond that, parents should encourage their children to be responsible with the follow-up,” Judd said. “Business owners need to know they can count on individual employees to handle important steps, such as locking up and doing detailed work.

Teenagers don’t appear mature enough when someone else is doing all the prep work for them.”

Judd said also she gets calls from parents who want to write down their children’s work schedules.

“I generally explain that it doesn’t look good on employees, particularly if I get the sense that teenagers are still relying on their parents to wake them up every day,” Judd said.

Judd said she feels that sometimes parents cripple their children by doing too many of life’s practical things for them.

He said today’s parents, although often to be selfless rather than selfish.”

Noel said many families are “co-dependent” when it comes to homework, meeting deadlines, extracurricular activities and project management. Long-term codependency frequently leads to frustration for everyone involved.

Noel said that one of the most extreme situations she has dealt with during her 18 years was a family that set up a completely separate apartment away from their home for a middle school aged child so she would have no distractions because she was having difficulty wanting to do homework.

“That solution wasn’t reasonable, and it 4t ANNUAL 4th NUAL SAFETY AFETY DAY AY h was practically the opposite of helicopter Wildwood, Station #3 parent behavior,” Noel said.

SHRUBS â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Awakening,â&#x20AC;? will be revealed during a free event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sat., Oct. 10 at Chesterfield Parkway West and Lydia Hill Road.

Community celebration to mark unveiling of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Awakeningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By SHEILA FRAYNE RHOADES An amazing addition to Chesterfield Artsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; outdoor art collection soon will be unveiled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Awakening,â&#x20AC;? a monumental, fivepart sculpture by American sculptor J. Seward Johnson, will be revealed to the public during a free community celebratory event taking place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sat., Oct. 10 at Chesterfield Parkway West and Lydia Hill Road. The unveiling is scheduled for 11 a.m. sharp. Chesterfield Arts is hosting the celebration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All sorts of art activities are planned for the big day,â&#x20AC;? Chesterfield Arts Executive Director Stacey Morse said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The percussion group JOIA will provide music and later lead attendees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Pied Piper-style â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in a dancing and singing procession from the activity area over to the site of the sculpture. There, at 11a.m., the unveiling will take place.â&#x20AC;?

Morse said that the public should plan to arrive early. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Awakeningâ&#x20AC;? is a 4,700-pound cast aluminum giant that appears to be emerging from the ground. Measuring 70 feet in length and 17 feet tall at its highest point, the first casting of the iconic piece is installed at National Harbor in Prince Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s County, Md., where since 1980 it has been an East Coast landmark.

Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traveling exhibit of bronze sculptures currently is placed throughout the city of Chesterfield.

The celebration surrounding the unveiling of the second casting of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Awakeningâ&#x20AC;? will feature food from area restaurants, music, dancing and plenty of opportunities to experience the arts with free activities for children and adults.

The biggest activity will be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make

Your Markâ&#x20AC;? Metro bus painting project sponsored by West Newsmagazine and St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital and facilitated for Chesterfield Arts by Stuart Morse of The Morse Group. The public will have the opportunity to help paint on a Metro bus an abstract design related to â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Awakening.â&#x20AC;? The project will be completed during the event, and the bus will tour Chesterfield for a full year.

Other projects will include: â&#x20AC;˘ T-shirt painting, facilitated by Chesterfield Arts and National Charity League. â&#x20AC;˘ Sand sculpting, facilitated by Chesterfield Artsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; staff and volunteers. â&#x20AC;˘ Creation of a 3-D, 20-foot American flag constructed of landscape marking flags, facilitated by Chesterfield Arts and National Charity League. â&#x20AC;˘ Hands-on family art projects provided by The Contemporary Art Museum, Maryville University, the YMCA, Windsor Crossing Community Church, and St. Louis Community College. â&#x20AC;˘ Make-and-take art activities, including clay-fired tile designs, musical instruments and magnets, facilitated by Chesterfield Arts staff and volunteers. â&#x20AC;˘ A show-and-tell booth featuring clay sculptures and studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ideas for a public art piece in Chesterfield, facilitated by Chesterfield Arts volunteers and area school groups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Awakeningâ&#x20AC;? unveiling and surrounding events are sponsored by Sachs Properties, AEP River Operations, the city of Chesterfield, St. Louis Public Radio KWMU 90.7, and Sachs Electric.

paDigital mammograms may show abnormalities s s shown on film i mammograms. ona not ne d, bonde

Digital mammograms provide advantages for some women Digital mammography has higher sensitivity, and thus may show things like abnormal calcifications that may not show on a film mammogram.

“It’s like watching an old TV versus one in HD. You see things you haven’t noticed before,” said Michael Stadnyk, M.D., a radiologist specializing in breast imaging at St. Luke’s Hospital.

This clarity is proving to help detect breast cancer and other issues earlier, particularly among three populations of women: those younger than age 50, those who are pre- or peri-menopausal and those with dense breasts, according to a 2001 study by the National Cancer Institute.

About one-third of women have dense breasts, said Catherine Appleton, M.D., assistant professor of radiology at Washington University School of Medicine and staff radiologist at Barnes-Jewish West

By AMY BURGER Mammography technology has been used for breast cancer screening since the mid-1960s, but digital mammography emerged only within the last 10 years and has steadily improved. Digital mammograms provide a sharper and more easily manipulated image of breast tissue for quicker and more thorough screenings and diagnostics.

For the patient, the process for getting a digital mammogram is the same as for a traditional film mammogram; the dif difference simply is in the image’s medium.

Digital images go straight to a computer, where radiologists have the ability to manipulate them by zooming, rotating, or adjusting the contrast, color, shadows and highlights. With film, the doctor can only hold the X-ray slide image up to a light and move it around or look at it through a magnifying glass.

Donna Dyer (right) is volunteering at â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making Strides Against Breast Cancerâ&#x20AC;? in honor of her sister, Cheryl DeLong (left), who lost her fight with breast cancer a year ago.

Area survivors back â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Making Strides Against Breast Cancerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By JULIE BROWN PATTON Local residents have a new way to observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making Strides Against Breast Cancer,â&#x20AC;? a non-competitive 5-K walk hosted by the American Cancer Society (ACS), is at 1 p.m. on Sun., Oct. 25 at Tower Grove Park.

Participants can organize teams, secure community support or volunteer. Walking is free, with participants encouraged to collect donations.

The walk is expected to draw nearly 3,000 supporters, survivors and caregivers.

Two West County breast cancer survivors are helping launch the walk. One, Ballwin resident Donna Dyer, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1994. Her mother, 89, is a two-time survivor, and Dyer lost her sister, Cheryl DeLong, to the disease one year ago.

Having been a caregiver, patient and survivor, Dyer said she is happy the money

raised through the walk stays â&#x20AC;&#x153;right here in our community, specifically (for) research, generating awareness and helping cancer patients and their families.â&#x20AC;?

Dyer discovered that walks were held in other cities and lobbied for the ACS to hold one in St. Louis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a cause thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s near and dear to our family,â&#x20AC;? Dyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three days after my sister passed on Sept. 20, 2008, her granddaughter was born. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m putting my energy toward this walk so Cherylâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s granddaughter hopefully wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry as much about breast cancer as she gets older.â&#x20AC;?

Dyer said her sister initially was told she had fibroids in her breasts, so the cancer diagnosis was delayed. DeLong was on the medicine Herceptin, which blocks cancercausing genes from spreading to other parts of the body but cannot cross the blood surSee AREA SURVIVORS, page 46

AREA SURVIVORS, from page 45 rounding the brain, and developed six brain tumors.

“Cheryl was the most determined person I’ve seen fight cancer, even going through two brain surgeries,” Dyer said. “We still need more research money to evaluate how to deal with this aspect, because onethird of the women who receive Herceptin develop brain tumors.”

A current breast cancer patient who is looking forward to the walk is Antoinette “Toni” Serena, of Creve Coeur, who calls herself the “poster child” for early breast cancer detection. Serena had a baseline mammogram at 35 and yearly checkups thereafter, but in February, at age 52, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Breast cancer treatment goes after the core of a woman’s femininity, affecting her energy, appearance and ability to care for others, said Serena, who recently attended the “Look Good... Feel Better” program through which ACS partners with cosmetology organizations to assist women with skin and hair changes during treatment.

“Looking better while battling cancer can be a very uplifting experience,” Serena said. “I welcomed help in dealing with that whole traumatic part.”

“Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” is part of a national effort, which last year raised more than $60 million. For details and to register, visit cancer.org/makingstrides.

DIGITAL MAMMOGRAM, from page 44 County Hospital.

“Dense breasts have nothing to do with the way they feel or look – it can only be seen on a mammogram,” Appleton said.

“When we interpret mammograms, we divide women into one of four categories based on how much breast tissue they have.

Breast tissue density shows up white on an X-ray, and so does cancer, so it’s like looking for a snowball in a snowstorm.”

In women with dense breast tissue, digital mammography has been found to enable the detection of more cancers than film mammography would find.

Another major difference is that digital mammograms use about half the radiation dose needed to obtain a film screen.

“That doesn’t mean a lot on single visit but over a lifetime, it significantly reduces the amount of radiation you are receiving,” Stadnyk said.

Although the cost of switching a facility from film mammography to digital is significant since all new equipment is required, the investment may be worth it in the long run as the technology is much more effi-

cient, cutting down on patient wait times and results processing, and also greatly improving the storage and transmission of images, which can all be handled electronically. The difference in cost to the patient is minimal, but individuals should contact their facility and insurance company for specifics.

Most major area hospitals and medical centers offer digital mammography; some smaller offices may not have converted to the technology yet, or may have a hybrid.

Patients need not worry about accuracy if their facility is switching from film to digital, as past film images can easily be compared to digital images. In the initial phases of a switch, however, a facility may see a slight increase in patient callback rates since the technology picks up on things that may not have shown up previously.

“Women should know that a film mammogram is still an excellent screen for breast cancer, and it’s important to get annual mammograms starting at age 40,” Appleton said.

By SUE HORNOF Parents considering a private school education for their children have many excellent options in and around West County. The best way to discover what a school has to offer is to attend an open house or arrange for a private visit, but these Web sites offer additional guidance and resources for families in the process of evaluating private schools.

Covering the plate at The Press Box

By SUZANNE CORBETT No press credentials are required for a seat in The Press Box, the latest restaurant of veteran restaurateurs Bruce Frailey and Bill Creecy.

Conceived and designed with a sophisticated, softer approach, The Press Box is not your usual sports bar. There are no neon beer signs hanging in the windows and walls are not cluttered with sports memorabilia. Instead, décor is “sports chic” with a refinement sports fans will find welcoming. Rich wood paneling and frosted glass accents the combination seating of tables and booths throughout the dining area and carries into the sunken, round robin bar that is fitted with flat screen TVs. “We’re a great venue for viewing sports events, but we’re more than a sports bar,” Frailey said. “The Press Box is a restaurant first.”

Because food is the focus, before setting the Press Box’s menu, Frailey researched countless other sports bars and looked at what people liked most, including those items at his other operation, Mike Duffy’s. The result is a satisfying, balanced menu that appeals to the entire family.

The Press Box %AST #HESTERlELD 0ARKWAY s #HESTERlELD (636) 536-9440 Hours: 11 a.m. to midnight, Monday –Thursday; 11 a.m. to 1 a.m., Friday and Saturday; 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday Thepressboxstl.com

“We included a few favorites from our other places and added new ones like paninis, which was something new for us,” Frailey said. “Something else that’s become extremely popular is the walleye.

Not many places offer real walleye.”

Classic pub fare like chicken wings and cheeseburgers, along with a few familiar favorites that have been given a gourmet makeover – such as the pizza made on lavosh (Armenian flat bread) - are served, too. Seafood Pinwheels, another appetizer specialty, spreads and rolls a flour tortilla with cream cheese, lettuce, black olives, chunky picante, crab and lobster meat.

Weekly burger specials supplement The Press Box’s burger roster, promoted as “Burgers made in heaven.” Besides Bill Creecy (left) and Bruce Frailey. the burger of the week feature, tempting options include two devilishly good burgers: the Bleu Cheese and Bacon Bit Burger, and the blers. To extend what The Press Box calls “the feel good Buffalo Bill’s Burger made with bison. experience,” plan to stop in when actual sportscasters are The Press Box’s dinner entrée special editions include a broadcasting live. Each Tuesday from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., 12-ounce strip steak and an 8-ounce marinated salmon filet.

New musical tells cancer survivorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tale

By SHEILA FRAYNE RHOADES A new musical making its national debut at The Playhouse at Westport Plaza has a sensitive theme that even its producer initially questioned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Unbeatable!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a musical comedy about breast cancer.

Try to wrap your mind around that,â&#x20AC;? said Paul Emery, president of St. Louis-based Emery Entertainment, the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s producer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until I experienced it for myself.

Then not only did it make sense, but moved me like very few musicals ever have.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unbeatable!â&#x20AC;? is based on the true story of Laurie Frey, its co-creator/producer, who was diagnosed with and survived Stage 3 breast cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eighty-five percent of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on stage is real â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it comes from my own journal,â&#x20AC;? Frey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everywhere we go, we get a standing ovation because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real, funny and uniquely touching. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just fabulous theatre.â&#x20AC;?

The musical follows Tracy Boyd, a young businesswoman whose life is derailed by a breast cancer diagnosis.

Boyd confronts her crisis head-on with optimism, hopefulness and a keen sense of humor, demonstrated in brilliant songs. One tune in particular says it all: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got that fabulous flair? Even though sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lost all of her hair. Miss Chemo!â&#x20AC;?

Emery emphasized the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus on early detection and said he feels compelled to bring that message to others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our heroine is forced to stop and smell the roses,â&#x20AC;?

Emery said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She eventually discovers how to live life in the moment.â&#x20AC;?

There are powerful vocal performances by a cast headed by Kristy Cates, Broadway actress and star of the national tour and Chicago productions of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wicked.â&#x20AC;? Familiar faces to St. Louis audiences include Michele Burdette Elmore, of Manchester. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a good script which appeals to all audiences,â&#x20AC;? Elmore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone knows someone who has been through breast cancer. Whole families and friends go through it together - men, women and children. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s universal.â&#x20AC;?

St. Louis cast member John Flack said that for him, being a part of the show â&#x20AC;&#x153;goes to the very heart of why being an actor and working in the theatre is so important.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In telling this story about Tracy and what happens when breast cancer enters her life, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unbeatable!â&#x20AC;? is a musical about a woman whose life is derailed by a Stage there is a unique opportunity for us to reflect 3 breast cancer diagnosis. on how experiences like these change all of us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how they demand new levels of courbreast cancer survivors to experience â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unbeatable!â&#x20AC;? before age from us in the face of fear; how they give us hope it opens to the public. Survivors Week tickets are available and strength when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at our most vulnerable; how they to breast cancer survivors and their guests at unbeatabldraw us nearer to one another even as there are new strains emusical.com/survivor on a first come, first served basis. on our relationships,â&#x20AC;? Flack said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unbeatable!â&#x20AC;? opens to the public on Oct. 15 and is slated In honor of local breast cancer survivors, Oct. 8-14 is for a five-week run. Tickets are $39.50 and are available by designated as Survivor Week at The Playhouse at West- phone at (314) 534-1111 and (314) 469-PLAY and online port Plaza. The Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish at metrotix.com.

Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine More on the show can be found at unbeatablemusical. and several other area cancer advocacy groups are inviting com.
