I OPINION I 3
THOMAS SOWELL
Stormy weather and politics
It was refreshing to see meteorologists
apologize for their dire – and wrong
– predictions of an unprecedented snow
storm that they had said would devastate
the northeast. It was a big storm, but the
northeast has seen a lot of big snowstorms
before and will probably see a lot of big
snowstorms again. That’s called winter.
Unfortunately, we are not likely to hear
any similar apologies from those who have
been promoting “global warming” hysteria
for years, in defiance of data that fail to fit
their climate models. What is at issue is not
whether there is “climate change” – which
nobody has ever denied – but whether the
specific predictions of the “global warming”
crowd as to the direction and magnitude
of worldwide temperature changes are
holding up over the years.
The ultimate test of any theoretical model
is not how loudly it is proclaimed but how
well it fits the facts. Climate models that
have an unimpressive record of fitting the
facts of the past or the present are hardly a
reason for us to rely on them for the future.
Putting together a successful model – of
anything – is a lot more complicated than
identifying which factors affect which outcomes.
When many factors are involved,
which is common, the challenge is to determine
precisely how those factors interact
with each other. That is a lot easier said
than done when it comes to climate.
Everyone can agree, for example, that the
heat of the sunlight is greater in the tropics
than in the temperate zones or near the
poles. But, the highest temperatures ever
recorded in Asia, Africa, North America or
South America were all recorded outside –
repeat, outside – the tropics.
No part of Europe is in the tropics, but
record temperatures in European cities like
Athens and Seville have been higher than
the highest temperatures ever recorded in
cities virtually right on the equator, such as
Singapore in Asia or Nairobi in Africa.
None of this disproves the scientific fact
that sunlight is hotter in the tropics. But it
does indicate that there are other factors
which go into temperatures on earth.
It is not only the heat of the sunlight, but
its duration, that determines how much
heat builds up. The sun shines on the equator
about 12 hours a day all year long. But,
in the temperate zones, the sun shines more
hours during the summer – almost 15 hours
a day at the latitude of Seville or Athens.
It is also not just a question of how much
sunlight there is falling on the planet but
also a question of how much of that sunlight
is blocked by clouds and reflected
back out into space. At any given time,
about half the earth is shielded by clouds,
but cloudiness varies greatly from place to
place and from time to time.
The Mediterranean region is famous for
its cloudless summer days. The annual
hours of sunlight in Athens is nearly double
that in London – and in Alexandria, Egypt,
there are more than twice as many annual
hours of sunlight as in London.
How surprised should we be that cities
around the Mediterranean – Alexandria,
Seville and Tripoli – have had temperatures
of 110 degrees or more, while many
tropical cities have not Clouds and rain
are common in the tropics.
American cities like Phoenix and Las
Vegas often hit summer temperatures of 110
degrees or more, because they are located
where there are not nearly as many clouds
during the summer as are common in most
other places, including most places in the
tropics. The highest temperatures on earth
have been reached in Death Valley, California,
for the same reason, even though it
is not in the tropics.
Putting clouds into climate models is not
simple, because the more the temperature
rises, the more water evaporates, creating
more clouds that reflect more sunlight back
out into space. Such facts are well known,
but reducing them to a specific and reliable
formula that will predict global temperatures
is something else.
Meteorology has many facts and many
scientific principles but, at this stage of its
development, weather forecasts just a week
ahead are still iffy. Why then should we let
ourselves be stampeded into crippling the
American economy with unending restrictions
created by bureaucrats who pay no
price for being wrong
Certainly neither China nor India will do
that, and the amount of greenhouse gasses
they put into the air will overwhelm any
reductions we might achieve, even with
draconian restrictions at astronomical costs.

After 23 years in their
Innsbrook home, these
empty-nesters decided
to update rather than
move and were referred
to Beautiful Rooms. The
dining room carpeting
and light fixture were
going to be replaced
while the existing table
and chairs were going to
stay. Choosing to install
wood floors made an
area rug necessary for
softening all the wood
and bringing in some
color. The chosen rug
featured basil green,
cream and terra cotta
which complemented
After
the spectacular wooded
view.
A gorgeous drum chandelier with crystal berries was the next
choice in this organic design plan. Neutral paint on all the
walls was accented by terra cotta in bay window which
provided contrast to the hand-painted cream storage piece.
Heavily textured sheer fabric was chosen for a table runner
and draperies that frame the view. Day or night, this dining
room is warm and inviting to their guests.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Obama as CEO
To the Editor:
I have felt compelled for a while to write
an opinion about the current administration
serving the United States. “Serving” might
not be the correct word to describe this group.
I still find it amazing that a junior senator
from Illinois can suddenly be elected to head
the most powerful political, economic and
military country in the world.
I grew up in Illinois, and there are a lot
of really good people living there. Some of
the ex-governors are not included in that
group. President Obama got his start in
Illinois politics.
I spent a career working for a Fortune 25
company, and one of the interesting things
was watching high-achieving individuals
work their way through the organization
to reach a very high level of responsibility
within the company. I compare Obama,
going from a junior senator in a state legislature
to the president of the United States, to
taking a low-level operative in the corporation
and making that individual the CEO of
a particular private or public company. He or
she would not have the understanding of all
the facets that make up the corporation, and
would not have the ability to manage all of
the day-to-day requirements of a large, intricate
organization. Neither does Obama.
People in military service and in large
corporations, as well as in politics, don’t
go from point A to point Z in one move.
Anyone in any of those professions understands
the need to expose an individual to
all parts of the organization before they are
placed in the highest level of responsibility.
Enter Obama as president of the United
States, to bring hope and change and have
a “completely transparent administration.”
Since elected, the following have occurred:
Fast and Furious, Benghazi, and the IRS
debacle, just to name a few of the “scandals”
that have surrounded this administration.
In addition, one has to wonder why he
and his administration continue to refuse
to call the terrorists what they are, radical
Islamic terrorists.
His motives come into question every day.
Why was he so intent on getting Sgt. Bowe
Bergdahl back to the U.S. Many of Bergdahl’s
fellow soldiers believe his motives were
not in the best interest of the U.S. military, but
Obama went out of his way to exchange five
high level terrorists for Bergdahl’s release.
Since that point, neither the U.S. Army nor
the administration will comment on the current
status of the investigation.
Following that, Obama brought Bergdahl’s
parents to Washington and allowed them
to put on the worst display ever witnessed
in the White House Rose Garden, while he
stood by with a sheepish grin on his face.
Compare that to the parents of journalist
James Foley, who was beheaded by the
radical ISIS group. Obama only had time
to make a brief statement about the issue,
and make a brief call to his parents, before
he rushed off to the golf course.
After seeing the movie “Lone Survivor”
about the Navy Seal who was rescued by an
Afghan citizen, one has to admire that man and
what he did to save Marcus Luttrell. He put his
life and that of his family in great danger to
save Luttrell. Now he is asking for asylum in
the U.S. It appears that he has to go through
all kinds of red tape to be able to relocate here.
I don’t know why he just doesn’t go to Mexico
and walk across the southern border. Once
here, the government will not bother him.
Obama and his No. 1 mouthpiece, former
Attorney General Eric Holder, along with
current Secretary of State John Kerry, did
nothing to assist the young Marine held captive
in a Mexican prison for seven months
in 2014. This was a Marine who had served
his country overseas and made a wrong
turn, while heading to southern California.
He ended up in prison for more than seven
months and, had it not been for the persistence
of Greta Van Susteren of Fox News,
he would still be there. Obama couldn’t
help him, but he sent White House representatives
to the funeral of Michael Brown.
I can’t remember Obama making any statement
when Chris Kyle died, but he had time
to make a phone call to Michael Sam, a gay
football player from the University of Missouri,
and congratulate him on “coming out.”
Attending funerals is important to
remember people. General Green, who was
a decorated 2-star general in the U.S. Army,
was killed in Afghanistan and buried with
full military honors in Arlington National
Cemetery. I don’t believe anyone from the
White House attended his services.
And on it goes with the Obama administration.
Obama won’t meet with Benjamin Netanyahu
while in Washington, but has time to
appear on Google with some woman with
green lips, who bathes in milk and eats the
cereal while bathing. Israel is our only hope
in the Middle East. Obama continually chastises
Israel, but wants to be “friends” with
Iran. He adamantly opposes the Keystone
pipeline, but wants to take credit for lower
gasoline prices in the U.S. right now.
Is it more understandable now to see
why novices and inexperienced people do
not become CEOs, or 4-star generals, or
for that matter the president of the United
States In Obama’s eyes, America is not
the solution to a better, more civilized
world, we are a large part of the problem!

FEBRUARY 11, 2015
WEST NEWSMAGAZINE
February is heart health awareness
month, but what does that really mean
Did you get up this morning and think,
“What healthy choices am I going to
make today to ensure the health of my
heart” Probably not.
The truth is unless heart disease has
affected you personally you probably
give it little thought. Why should you
The American Heart Association can
answer that. It’s busy this month, getting
out the word that cardiovascular disease
– including heart disease, stroke and high
blood pressure – is responsible for one
out of every three American deaths.
“It is the No. 1 killer of American
women and men,” the organization tells
us, “and a leading cause of serious illness
and disability.”
But do we listen
Not always.
Not when we have the option of choosing
a heart-healthy piece of grilled chicken (no
salt) or a nice juicy steak. We’re not thinking
about heart health at moments like that.
We’re thinking about how good that steak
is going to taste, topped perhaps with some
onions and mushrooms that have been sauteed
to perfection in lightly salted butter. Oh
man! Who could blame us
And who would blame us when we let
our busy lives get in the way of going to
the gym After all, when there’s work
to be done at the office or in the home,
something has to give. Work before play,
our parents taught us.
Stress is a killer, too, you know. And
when the work piles up so does the stress.
Women are particularly bad at putting
work ahead of health. At least that’s what
the American Heart Association decided
more than a decade ago when it launched
its Go Red For Women campaign. The goal
was to make women stop and think about
how heart disease was affecting them.
Until then, cardiovascular disease was
thought of as a man’s disease. Not so.
While images of men clutching at their
chests in the throes of a heart attack come
easily to mind, images of women having
heart attacks are harder to recall.
For women, heart attacks can look very
different – and those symptoms are more
easily ignored.
Sweating. Pressure. Nausea. Jaw pain.
Believe it or not, these are all symptoms of a
heart attack in women. They are also symptoms
that women often brush off as the flu,
stress or simply feeling under the weather.
Moms don’t get sick! That’s a mantra
women often latch onto whether they
have children or not – even when people
as knowledgeable as the American Heart
Association tell them differently.
Most women will tell you they’re good
listeners, but like everyone else their
hearing is selective when it comes to
heart health advice.
Women often are also great talkers.
But the conversation they’re having – the
conversation we’re having – is all wrong.
As a nation we need to stop believing that
its OK to be overweight. According to the
Centers for Disease Control, 34.9 percent
or 78.6 million U.S. adults are obese. That’s
not OK – unless we want to live with heart
disease, diabetes and stroke.
We need to stop believing that what happens
to someone else will never happen to
me. One in three says differently.
We need to stop telling ourselves that
we’re just a little tired, that the symptoms
we’re feeling will pass, that getting the
work done is more important than getting
enough sleep, that eating on the run
is good enough for now – and that a triple
cheeseburger really won’t hurt us. It’s not
like we eat them every day.
Why are we eating them at all
It’s time for the conversation to change.
While the statistics the American Heart
Association shares are shocking and the
advice it offers makes sense, it’s too easy
to tune it out. And tune it out we do.
This month, we may be asked to dress
in red or wear a red dress pin to acknowledge
the American Heart Association’s
Go Red For Women campaign. We might
attend a seminar. Our employers might
hand us a flyer or host a heart disease
awareness program. But will we listen
Will we be willing to change the conversation
– not the one the nation is having,
but rather the one we’re having with ourselves
The one that says: “It’s OK this
once. I’m just tired, I’ll be fine. I’ll go to
the gym tomorrow. It’s only indigestion.
OK, so I can’t climb a flight of steps without
getting winded, who can”
We need to start listening to what our
hearts are trying to tell us.
This Valentine’s Day, we need to give
ourselves a gift and do something nice for
our hearts.
It’s a small step, but it’s one in the right
direction.

MANCHESTER
City considers participation
in mental health court
Those arrested by Manchester police
for misdemeanor violations and thought
to have an underlying mental illness or
disorder could avoid city prosecution and
instead be referred to St. Louis County
Municipal Mental Health Court, under legislation
being considered by the Manchester
Board of Aldermen.
The county program was implemented
in 2001 to provide a treatment alternative
to criminal prosecution and incarceration.
According to City Attorney Patrick Gunn,
the city has not previously participated in
the program, although St. Louis County
municipalities are authorized to do so.
Under a bill introduced at the Feb. 2
board meeting, the city would pay $300
for each person referred to the county
program and forfeit all fines imposed by
county authorities. County counselor’s
office attorneys would act as prosecuting
attorneys for Manchester and would refer
cases to the county’s Mental Health Court,
according to the measure.
Twenty other county municipalities participate
in the municipal referral program,
and 25 municipal arrestees were referred
during a recent one-year period, according
to county records.
New signs could be coming
to Manchester Road
New types of advertising signs could be
erected by some businesses along Manchester
Road, under legislation being considered
by the Manchester Board of Aldermen.
Under a bill introduced Feb. 2 and likely to
be considered for adoption on Feb. 17, businesses
within the city’s Planned Business
District (PBD) would no longer be restricted
to projecting, wall and window signs. Four
additional categories of signs − electronic
message, ground, monument and directional
− would be allowed, according to Kathleen
Arnett, the city’s director of planning, zoning
and economic development.
Arnett told the aldermen that existing
sign allowances do not meet the needs of
some businesses which are located away
from the street.
The city’s PBD was adopted in 2013 for
properties south of Manchester Road, north
of Grand Glaize Creek and between Hwy.
141 and Sulphur Spring Road. The business
district, which encompasses some of the
city’s historic buildings, replaced the former
Historic Overlay District and allowed for
new commercial uses within the area.
The aldermen also are considering a
companion bill that would make the International
Building Code, rather than the
code of the Building Officials and Code
Administrators (BOCA) organization, as
the compliance standard for sign construction.
Arnett said St. Louis County now uses
the International Building Code.
WILDOOD
City changes locations for
Master Plan meetings
The city of Wildwood has changed the
locations for two upcoming meetings to
discuss updates to the city’s Master Plan.
Rather than meeting at Rockwood Valley
and Wildwood middle schools as previously
intended, both meetings will now
be held at St. Louis Community College
– Wildwood, located at 2645 Generations
Drive, off Hwy. 109.
The date of the first meeting also has
changed to Feb. 18; the date of the second
meeting, March 11, remains unchanged.
Both meetings will begin at 7 p.m.
This will be the third time the city has
undertaken a Master Plan update process
since it was adopted in 1996. One of the first
steps in this process is to obtain opinions,
ideas and input from the city’s residents.
At both meetings, residents will be given
an opportunity to talk about the Master
Plan and all things Wildwood. The comments
collected will help the Master Plan
committee – resident volunteers appointed
by Mayor Timothy Woerther – to lead this
update process. In addition to these session
times, an online survey with questions
regarding the Master Plan, is available at
cityofwildwood.com.
Questions about these public input sessions
should be directed to the Department
of Planning at 458-0440 or by email to
joe@cityofwildwood.com.
WEST COUNTY
Fire district completes bond sale
The West County EMS and Fire Protection
District has sold $1.83 million in bonds

year and to restructure the remaining portion
of bonds sold in 2003.
West County directors accepted the
Commerce Bank interest rate bid of 2.73
percent, the lowest of five proposals
received. The bond issue is part of the $19
million indebtedness package approved by
district voters in 2008.
Fire district seeks fairness
in proposed tax increase
The proposed tax rate increase for the
West County EMS and Fire Protection
District’s general fund won’t directly affect
those who receive the district’s services
under contract. But the district wants to find
a funding solution that is “fair” to taxpayers,
as well as those served under contract.
In terms of area and population, Town
& Country is the largest entity that West
County serves under contract. This year,
the community will pay the district almost
$3.37 million for fire and emergency medical
services. More than $2 million of that
total will go into the general fund, with the
remainder going into the ambulance and
pension funds.
The West County board late last month
approved a proposal for a general fund tax
levy increase of 30 cents per $100 assessed
valuation on real estate and personal property.
The issue will be submitted to voters
April 7.
David Cobb, West County’s board chairman,
said preliminary discussions have
been held with Town & Country but no
agreement has been reached on how a tax
increase paid by others in the district will
affect the amount paid by the city under its
contract. That agreement extends through
the end of next year and isn’t affected by
the tax increase proposal presented to other
voters in the district.
“Our goal is simply to be fair to everyone,”
Cobb stated.
West County’s general fund tax rate of
42.8 cents per $100 assessed valuation
on residential real estate is the largest
of five levies totaling just over 96 cents.
Other levies are for ambulance, pension,
dispatch and debt service, and those
funds are not affected by the proposed
increase.
The 30 cents to be voted on represents
a 31 percent increase in West County’s
overall residential property tax rate. The
current total levy on personal property
would increase from $1 to $1.30, a 30
percent hike.
West County officials say district real
estate values have remained flat in recent
years and income from the current tax levy
has not kept pace with rising costs, causing
the district to dip into its reserves to make
up the shortfall.
If the tax increase is approved, plans
also call for more community outreach
efforts, increased training and a raise for
firefighter-paramedics, whose pay scale
hasn’t changed for several years.

UNPLEASANT REALITY
By DAN FOX
dfox@newsmagazinenetwork.com
At the request of Mayor Adam Paul, the
Ellisville City Council has briefly paused in
their consideration of legislation that would
create a community improvement district
(CID) on the former Best Buy property.
At the Feb. 4 council meeting, Paul said
that given the city’s past with Walmart
and tax increment financing (TIF), he felt
it was prudent to hold final approval of
the bill until the council meeting on Feb.
18 for the sake of transparency.
“I just want to make it clear that it
is not affecting any city coffers; the
city is not on the hook,” Paul said.
TIF and CID differ in several ways.
A TIF allows a developer to enter into
an agreement with a city or governmental
body for a specific investment amount.
That amount is guaranteed by the city and
paid to the developer over a set period of
time through a portion of property, sales
and employment taxes. During that time
the city receives partial or no benefit from
the taxes resulting from the development
for which the TIF has been secured. As
with a CID, the city may choose to increase
taxes in the TIF development to accelerate
the repayment of its investment in the property,
but that is where the similarities end.
In a CID the city has no financial obligation
to the development. Rather, the
CID allows for retail sales taxes within
a specific area to be increased for a set
period of time in order to finance a designated
purpose, which is chosen by a
selected board of directors of the CID.
In the case of the Best Buy property, the
CID would increase the sales tax for that
shopping center by 1 percent, or one extra
penny taxed per dollar. The only stores
affected by this tax increase would be The
Tile Shop, Lukas Wine and Spirits (which
is slated to move into the center) and three
new developments yet to be announced.
The CID, if approved, will be in place for
no longer than 23 years to allow the developer
to recoup the estimated $2.3 million
cost of improvements to the location.
Paul said a CID is a good tool to use
in certain situations, such as in the case
of the Best Buy property as there are
numerous infrastructure improvements
slated for that area by the developer.

curb cuts and a cross-access agreement

NCADA executive director explains decision to air unnerving PSA
By KATE UPTERGOVE
editorwest@newsmagazinenetwork.com
“You have to get this on television.”
Howard Weissman, executive director of
the National Council on Alcoholism & Drug
Abuse – St. Louis Area (NCADA), said that
was the reaction of a mother and father, whose
child had overdosed on heroin, after viewing
a preview of the NCADA’s Super Bowl PSA.
It was a reaction he wasn’t expecting, but one
he said he’ll never forget.
Others have not been so supportive. Some
people have told him he should not have run
the PSA, which shows a young man overdosing
on heroin in his bedroom, while his
mother unpacks groceries in the kitchen and
a happy woman sings a jaunty little ditty
about addiction – accompanied by a ukelele
no less. Its critics say that for families who
have lost a loved one to heroin abuse, or who
are living with a family member’s addiction,
the PSA is almost too much to bear.
Weissman understands. He said choosing
to air the PSA and knowing it would hurt
people was a difficult choice to make.
“It upsets me deeply and I only did it
because I believe it serves the greater good,”
he said. “We felt strongly that we had to
take a risk, that we had to take people by
their lapels and say, ‘pay attention!”
A public health crisis
In the past eight years, nearly 2,300
people in the St. Louis area have died from
heroin overdose.
“If that number had died from anything
else, imagine what the public health
response would have been,” Weissman
said. “We’re not paying attention. And, for
too long we have blamed the victim.”
In the NCADA PSA, the victim looks like
every other West County high school student.
There’s a reason for that. Heroin abuse is
oblivious to stereotypes, so while the image
of a heroin addict is a shady character with a
needle in his arm, the reality is very different.
“Heroin doesn’t need to be injected anymore,”
Weissman explained. That’s something
he said the PSA’s jingle made clear.
Taking away the stigma of the needle
along with the drug’s availability and low
price (about $10 a hit according to the
jingle) is one of the reasons its use is so
prevalent, Weissman said.
But how do users get hooked in the first
place Weissman said abuse often starts in
the home with a trip to the family medicine
chest. It’s a point driven home by the lyrics
of the jingle:
“First you stole prescription pills from your
mom. You threw back a few and then they
were gone. So you’re jonesin’ real bad, yeah,
you need some more. So you call a shady guy
and say you’re lookin’ to score. And that’s
how, how you got addicted to heroin.”
“The reason the lyrics make that connection
is because the story we wanted to tell
is that the pain medications in your medicine
cabinet are the chemical equivalent to
the heroin on the street,” Weissman said.
“Heroin satisfies the craving in the same
way that prescription drugs do.”
The song makes it seem that heroin
addiction can happen quickly.
Weissman said that, too, was intentional.
“The intent was to suggest that these drugs
are so addictive that one use can lead to
dependence,” Weissman said. It’s what makes
The final scene in the NCADA’s PSA that aired during the Super Bowl and has since captured
national attention.
these drugs so dangerous. “Nobody chooses
to become hostage to a white powder. People
choose to try a drug or take a drug, but comes
a point when choice is replaced by craving –
and not the type of craving you have when
you crave chocolate. No, this is the type of
craving that a drowning person has for air.
A single use can take you down a path
that can turn your world upside-down
and cause you to lose everything that is
important and valuable to you – potentially
including your life. Anyone who has lived
with an addict knows this to be true.”
Now that you have our attention
Weissman said the PSA amplified the
NCADA’s megaphone. In fact, it went viral
on the Internet and caught the attention of
the national drug policy makers.
“This is the latest thing (in NCADA’s
arsenal of drug abuse fighting tools); it’s
not the only thing and its certainly not the
last thing,” Weissman said. “Missouri is
the only state that does not have a prescription
drug monitoring program (that would
allow doctors and pharmacists to access a
database to see clients’ prescription histories).
We are hoping this PSA will help us
advocate for establishing one.”
Already, Weissman said, the PSA is having
some of the effect that was hoped for.
“In the first few days after the PSA aired,
inquiries to our website (theplacetoturn.
com) were up 2,000 percent and telephone
calls to the NCADA helpline were up 300-
400 percent,” Weissman said.
Closer to home, he reported that the
NCADA had received three presentation
requests from health teachers at Parkway
schools the day after the PSA aired.
Ellisville pauses for transparency in quest for Ellisville Marketplace CID
would be much more challenging for the
developer to implement without the CID,
according to City Manager Bill Schwer.
Paul said improvements to the center
would include aesthetic changes that
would match the changes planned for the
ongoing Great Streets Initiative such as
lighting, landscaping and public access.
Benjamin Stegmann, who represented
the property owners at the Feb. 4 meeting,
said that if the CID is approved, ground
could be broken by the end of February.
“Our intent is to revitalize the center,
by doing so we can revitalize this whole
retail corridor,” Stegmann said. “We
believe with our partnership with the city
we can attract and maintain a great base
of local and national tenants and really
make this a strong retail beacon in the
city, that it used to be years ago.”

For most kids, parents and grandparents,
youth sports represent a good way
for youngsters to learn about games they
like, to enjoy competition and to make new
friends.
But youth sports also have become a major
force in the local economy – or so business
leaders and others who attended a recent
Economic Development Summit learned.
During the past 20 years, youth sports
have changed, with more select teams
being formed and traveling elsewhere for
competitive events. An estimated 27 percent
of family trips in a recent year have
centered on sports-related travel, according
to Lloyd Ney, general manager of Hardee’s
Iceplex in Chesterfield Valley.
“Chesterfield is unique in what it can offer
to families coming here for youth sports
events,” Ney observed. He cited the variety
of the area's lodging, food and retail options
as well as its transportation infrastructure
and welcoming, friendly atmosphere, which
he said was “a huge strength.”
Economic, operational and marketing
support from local government, retail and
civic organizations also adds to that strength,
Ney told summit participants, who included
Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce members,
civic leaders and others.
Ney cited the projected financial impact
on the local economy of the national high
school hockey championship competition
scheduled in March as an example of how
the Iceplex and youth hockey benefit the
region. That event will include 32 teams,
most from out of town, and will result in a
spike in spending for lodging and at restaurants
and other retail locations.
Tom McCarthy, Chesterfield’s parks and
recreation director, who also presented at
the summit, said the Chesterfield Valley
Athletic Complex drew more than a million
visitors in 2014 and projections are for
1.2 million this year.
McCarthy pointed to a girls softball tournament
that attracted 265 teams – 83 percent
of which were from out of town – to
Chesterfield during a two-weekend event
last summer. That and other CVAC sporting
events, along the Taste of St. Louis, the
chamber's and city's summer concert series,
outdoor movie showings and attractions at
the city’s amphitheater all contribute to the
local economy, McCarthy said.
Also contributing to the local economy
– and sometimes catering to those outof-town
visitors – are the area's airports.
Speaking on the economic impact of
those airports were John Bales, director of
aviation at Spirit of St. Louis Airport, and
Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge, director of
@WESTNEWSMAG
WESTNEWSMAGAZINE.COM
Economic Development Summit
probes factors in area’s growth
Lambert-St. Louis International Airport.
While Bales reviewed Spirit’s history
and growth since its founding just over
50 years ago, including the numerous
and varied businesses that have located
on or near the airport’s property, Hamm-
Niebruegge noted the impact of airline
industry changes on Lambert. Those
changes, she said, have emphasized the
need for the airport to have more diversified
operations so that it can generate alternative
revenue sources.
With Lambert’s runways now operating
at only 46 percent capacity, Hamm-
Niebruegge said air cargo movement offers
great potential for revenue growth, adding
that cargo flights now account for only 2
percent of airport income.
The airport, she said, has vacant land
available for facilities needed by businesses
involved in air freight; Lambert
officials are working with economic development
agencies to market that property.
According to Hamm-Niebruegge, prospects
for one effort to increase air freight
appear bright. Work is underway and
“progressing well” to have Lambert designated
as a pre-clearance facility that would
enable air shipments to go from the St.
Louis airport to any location in Mexico.
“We expect to get this designation,”
Hamm-Niebruegge asserted. Having it
would establish St. Louis as a key location
for air freight to Mexico, both from U.S.
businesses and many overseas locations
whose shipments now go through Miami.
Establishing Lambert as a U.S. Department
of Agriculture port of embarkation for
exports to China and elsewhere also would
boost the airport and the area’s economy,
Hamm-Niebruegge said. However, she
candidly conceded that describing the
airport as a “China hub” during an earlier
effort to gain more air cargo business was
a mistake.
“We should have been referring to it
(Lambert) as an international cargo hub,”
she stated.
If Lambert is successful in growing its
air cargo revenue, the airport can be more
competitive in attracting more passenger
flights and can increase its financial stability
as well, she predicted.
Hosted by the Chesterfield Chamber of
Commerce with sponsoring West County
businesses, including West Newsmagazine,
and the city of Chesterfield, the Economic
Development Summit also provided a
close-up look at other important factors
in local economic development, including
healthcare operations, STL VentureWorks
in West County, the factors that retailers
consider in location decisions, and the
status and future of Chesterfield Village.

For the third time in as many meetings,
the Chesterfield City Council delayed
considering the mayoral override of four
budget-related vetoes due to the absence of
a councilmember.
Councilmember Derek Grier (Ward
2) asked and received, on a 6-1 vote, the
council’s agreement to postpone action at
its Feb. 2 meeting, saying it was important
that all eight members be present to weigh
in on the issue.
Councilmember Nancy Greenwood
(Ward 1) was absent.
At both the agenda review session and
the council meeting, Grier said Mayor
Bob Nation’s vetoes of four spending
measures included in the budget raised
the question of separation of powers.
Grier’s concern is that the action didn’t
target specific line items. For that reason,
he asserted that the mayor’s step was
not legal because it amounted to amending
legislation the council already had
reviewed and approved.
FEBRUARY 11, 2015
WEST NEWSMAGAZINE I NEWS I 15
Chesterfield City Council again delays action on mayor’s vetoes
Nation replied that state law gives
mayors authority to veto all or any part
of legislation and that his views on ways
to alter the budget were only suggestions
aimed at achieving consensus.
At issue are budget plans for giving
city employees $250 holiday gift certificates,
a 3-percent-of payroll pool for
city workers’ merit increases, funding
to add more police as elementary school
resource officers, and costs associated
with the city’s assuming control of an
arts program formerly handled by Chesterfield
Arts.
Overriding a mayoral veto requires support
from six of the council’s eight members,
a situation that gives the minority
power over the majority, Councilmember
Connie Fults (Ward 4) argued.
Councilmember Dan Hurt (Ward 3)
opposed the delay, stating that while he
agreed with Grier’s position, it’s important
that the council decide the issue and
move on.
The council’s next meeting is at 7 p.m.
on Wednesday, Feb. 18.

* Subject to Availability. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) represents the interest earned through each eligible
call date based on simple interest calculations, an investment price of $1000 per corporate bond, and is accurate
as of February 4, 2014. Callable corporate bonds are more likely to be called in a lower interest rate
environment, and investors may be unable to reinvest funds at the same rate as the original corporate bonds.
The minimum balance required to purchase the corporate bond and obtain the APR is $10,000. Interest payouts
are mandatory, and interest cannot remain on deposit. This investment is not FDIC insured.
Corporate bond prices move opposite to interest rates, increasing when rates decline and falling when rates
increase. Corporate bonds are intended to be held until maturity, as this assures redemption at par value.
Investors may sell them before the stated maturity date, if needed, at the prevailing market prices, and proceeds
may be more or less than the original investment. Market values of longer term corporate bonds tend to be
more sensitive to interest rate fluctuation. Thus, the longer-term corporate bonds are generally not
suitable for investors with a short-term horizon. Other factors that may affect corporate bonds are order size,
call features, and investor demand. Sales charges may apply. The price of international bonds may fluctuate due
to concerns about currency fluctuations, commodity prices, and the perceived stability of the government of the
issuer. Consider all risks and benefits and how this investment alternative may help meet investment objectives.

Chesterfield honors junior TV chef with local connections
By JIM ERICKSON
ericksonjim@att.net
Do you know Ayla You do if you watch
MasterChef Junior on the Fox Network.
The 11-year-old girl with Chesterfield
ties has been a contestant on the reality
cooking show this season. Now she also
has had a day named in her honor.
At its Feb. 2 meeting, the Chesterfield City
Council proclaimed the day “Ayla Day” to
recognize her achievements as a contestant
on the program that pits young chefs –
between the ages of 8 and 13 – against each
other in a display of cooking prowess.
Judged by grown-up chefs Gordon Ramsay,
Graham Elliot and Joe Bastianich, the Tuesday
night show has its contestants making
dishes most kids have never even heard of,
such as salmon en croute with hollandaise,
fingerling potatoes and minted peas. That dish
was requested on the Feb. 3 show by special
guest 13-year-old Matilda Ramsay, Gordon’s
daughter, who said it was a family favorite.
According to Alison Leiby, reporting for
eater.com, Ayla was very confident in preparing
the Ramsay family dish “and I think

For the third year in a row, Manchester
Arts is hosting its FOCUS Photography
Competition.
Entry is free and open to photographers
of all ages and skill levels who live in the St.
Louis metro area. Photographers may submit
up to three of their best images created in the

rightfully so.”
“She doesn’t get nearly enough screen
time on this show even though she’s
incredibly talented and her colorful bracelet
game is on point,” Leiby wrote in a
recap of the Feb. 3 show.
Since the competitors are referred to only by
their first names on the show, the Chesterfield
council was asked not to use Ayla’s last name
in its recognition. And, because she was not
in town, she joined the council session via a
Skype video hook-up. Her cousin, Nathan
Sewell, accepted the proclamation from
PETERSON
Mayor Bob Nation on her behalf.
Ayla’s parents operate Honey Kids Kitchen
in Chesterfield Mall, which offers cooking
events and instruction for kids and teens and
family classes, as well as programs for adults.
Ayla told those in attendance at the city
council meeting that she has been cooking
for about five years and considers pumpkin
and corn soup as her signature dish.
What she could not tell them was the
outcome of season three. Although all the
shows have been filmed, Ayla is not permitted
to say how she fared.

Rossman leads state in
AHA fund-raising
The American Heart Association has
recognized Rossman School for raising the
most money of all Missouri schools that
participated in the AHA’s Jump Rope for
Heart and Hoops for Heart fundraisers in
2013-2014.
Last February, 150 Rossman students in
grades two through six participated in the
events, raising $15,757 for heart research
and health education. Rossman has supported
the Jump Rope and Hoops for Heart
programs for over 25 years, raising more
than $150,000.
Co-coordinators for the events are
Jenna Babcock and Larry Huusko, who
were honored in September at the AHA’s
St. Louis volunteer celebration for their
commitment to the annual fundraisers
and the health and wellness of Rossman’s
students.
This year, on Jan. 30, more than 100
students participated in Rossman’s annual
Jump Rope for Heart event.

Coalition receives $5,000 award
The Rockwood Drug-Free Coalition
recently was awarded $5,000 in funding
from the Physician Ambassadors of St.

funds will be used for middle school programs
on Rockwood early release days.
The foundation provides funds to
programs and projects that support the
mission of strengthening communities
and improving lives. The early release
day program focuses on a healthy environment,
positive youth behavior and
collaborative partnerships that ensure a
healthy community.
Renee Heney, coalition director, said,
“We have been fortunate to obtain federal
and state grant funding over the past seven
years, as well as private donations and inkind
contributions from many area organizations
and individuals. However, this is
the first time we’ve been awarded private
foundation funding for one of our programs.
We’re pleased that St. Anthony’s
saw the similarity between their mission
and ours.”
Rockwood Drug-Free Coalition provides

Westminster hosts South
Korean sister school students
A group of middle school students from
Westminster Christian Academy’s sister
school, Saemmul Christian Academy in
Seoul, South Korea, visited Westminster to
attend the school’s annual January Camp.
The camp provided them the opportunity
to learn in the classroom alongside American
students and teachers and experience
American culture firsthand.
Twenty-four Korean students and three
faculty attended this year’s camp and lived
with Westminster host families from Jan. 3
to Feb 2. Weekday field trips to the Gateway
Arch, St. Louis Art Museum, and the
Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis enriched
their cultural experience, as did a trip to
Chicago during their visit to the U.S.
January Camp presents unique opportunities
for both the Korean and Westminster
students, who form friendships with
one another during this time. Director of

Teaching technology
Second grade teacher Stephen Brim’s
classroom at Rockwood’s Ridge Meadows
Elementary is a technology hub. “I have both
tablets and Chromebooks in my room,” he
said. “The students absolutely love them.”
Students use the technology for reading
and math as part of game-based learning.
They practice equations, explore their
creativity and engage with other students
working in groups.
Brim is one of only 20 teacher advisors
nationwide for the Front Row app, which
is an adaptive math app. Because of his
expertise, he has been asked to speak
at Share Fair Nation, a national conference
to be held in Chicago in April, which
provides an opportunity for professional
development in 21st century instruction
Westminster students to make an impact in
a global world.
“It is not only a wonderful opportunity
for the visiting Korean students, but it is
also extremely beneficial for our Westminster
students,” Butler said. “Thirteen
families volunteered to take on the huge
commitment of hosting Korean children
for four weeks so that their own children
can be exposed to foreign culture here at
home. It really does bring all of our families
together.”

Parkway Central senior Jarrett Cox-Bradley
can score from a variety of spots on the basketball
court – and his success recently pushed
him past the 1,000-point plateau. Over at Parkway
North, junior Alecia Sutton said scoring
1,000 points runs in the family. Her older sister,
Alexis, topped 1,000 points as a senior in 2009.
Both players say that topping the milestone
was a great accomplishment.
"It's something I've worked hard for,” Cox-
Bradley said. "It's something I thought about
a lot. I knew I was on track to get it this year."
He got the big basket in a 66-37 victory
at archrival Parkway North – a win
in which he scored 29 points. A third-year
varsity starter, Cox-Bradley was quick to
give much of the credit for his success to
his coaches and teammates.
That's a trait shared by Sutton.
"This accomplishment means a lot to me,
especially getting 1,000 points as a junior,"
Sutton said. "But I couldn't have gotten my
1,000th point without the help from around
me, which were my teammates."
That's typical of her, Vikings coach Brett
Katz said. Scoring is important but it's not
what drives the 5-foot-9 guard.
Sutton also credits her sister and father
with helping her become a good basketball
player.
"It really all started with my oldest sister,
Alexis," Sutton said. "I would always see
her playing basketball and stayed in the gym
with her, and I would also go to her games
with my dad because my dad was the coach
of her summer team. Then one day I told my
dad, I wanted to play and since then my dad
has played a huge role in my success. He's
been my mentor and trainer through it all."
At presstime Sutton ranked seventh on
the all-time scoring list at Parkway North.
For both Sutton and Cox-Bradley, reaching
the 1,000-point mark was cause for
celebration, but Sutton's recognition didn't
happen at the game.
"It was funny because I didn't know I had
gotten it until after the game (a 70-37 victory
over Ladue) in the locker room when
my coach brought me in front of the team
and told me," Sutton said.
She was honored at a home game against
Webster Groves and given a special basketball
to commemorate the accomplishment.
"It was pretty cool being honored like
that in front of a home crowd," Sutton said.
Cox-Bradley also had “a lot of students
who celebrated his 1,000th point with him,"
according to Parkway Central coach Rick
Kirby. And, the victory, like the game,
meant a lot to the Colt.
“This is a sport I love a lot," Cox-Bradley
said.
It's one he works hard for – and the proof
of all his hard work is in his high game
point total – 37 – which he reached twice
this year, once against Parkway South in
the Gerald Linneman Memorial Tip-Off
Classic and again against MICDS in the
MICDS Holiday Invitational.
"The team relies on me,” Cox-Bradley said.
The same can be said for Sutton.

SLAM DUNK: Pair of Parkway cagers push past 1,000-point plateau
Parkway North junior Alecia Sutton (right) was
honored for passing the 1,000-point mark.
"She is a dynamic player,” Katz said.
“She is great in the open court. She reads
and sees things on the floor so well. Yes,
she can score, shoot and get to the basket,
but man, can she distribute the ball. She is
always one step ahead of the defense. I tell
our players, you better be ready, because
Sug (Sutton) is going to see that you will be
open, before you think you will be open.”
Although just a junior, Sutton has verbally
committed to Texas. She said it was
not a tough decision.
"When I visited there, I felt comfortable
being around the team and coaching staff and
the most important thing is your teammates,"
Sutton said. "Also, I want to build the program.
I want to work for something and I feel
like Texas is where I can be successful at that.
"Everybody thinks it's a big deal going to
a school that has had tons of NCAA Championships,
but I think it's an even bigger
deal going to a school who hasn't had one
or hasn't had one in years and getting them
one and making history."
The school part helped her decide as well.
"The academics there are outstanding,"
Sutton said. "They have everything I need
for my major, which is sports medicine.”
Cox-Bradley also is excited about the
future, but said he'll wait until the season
is over to deal with “all the college stuff."

Missouri All Stars claim victory
over Illinois Select Side
Three West County high school athletes
helped lead the Missouri All Stars to a victory
in a rugby match against the Illinois
Select Side at Soldier Field in Chicago.
The match was played before the U.S.
Eagles played the New Zealand All Blacks,
the No. 1 team in the world.
The Missouri squad scored a 24-17 victory
over the Illinois Select Side, which
was highly favored going into the contest.
The Man of the Match award went to
Missouri captain and flyhalf, Sean Lenihan
of CBC.
Missouri also received outstanding play
from outside center Maia Silva, of Marquette,
and fullback Grant Broeder, of Eureka.
On an overcast morning with temps in
the mid 30s, Missouri gave up an early try
10 minutes into the contest. At the half,
Missouri was down 12-7.
Battling back in the second half, Missouri
scored two more tries and a penalty
kick, while holding Illinois to a single try
and penalty kick.
“The Missouri side was selected on
pretty short notice,” said coach John
Watson. “There were a total of two complete
practice sessions and selections leading
up to the Chicago game. We practiced
more, but as a select side group we were
only able to come together twice before the
test match. For us to pull out a win against
a seasoned and well-practiced select side
like the Illinois Select Size was quite an
accomplishment by the Missouri boys.”
The Illinois side toured Ireland and had
routinely played together leading up to the
match.
St. Louis was well represented on the
Missouri side with players from Parkway
United, De Smet Jesuit, CBC, Marquette,
Eureka and St. Louis University High.
Local students on the 25-man Missouri
All-Stars roster were Sean Lenihan, CBC;
Sean Christman, De Smet Jesut; Grant Broeder,
Eureka; Ryan Stuckey, Eureka; Mason
Brooks, Eureka; Maia Silva, Marquette;
John White, Marquette; Jack Tuckwell,
Marquette; Ring Deny, Park Hill South
KC; Tristen Christensen, Park Hill South
KC; Keith Parnell, Parkway United; Luke
Sextro, St. Louis University High; and Jack
Schroder, St. Louis University High.
High school rugby
West County high school rugby is gearing
up for the spring 2015 season in a big
way with a tournament scheduled for Feb.
28 at Lindenwood University.
“We are starting workouts a bit earlier
this year in preparation for the first annual
Lindenwood University-sponsored High
School Tournament,” said Parkway United
Rugby coach John Watson. “The tournament
will feature teams from throughout
St. Louis and across the Midwest. It should
be a perfect start to the season for all the
teams participating, especially the West
County high school teams.”
Once again, this year’s West County
teams will include Parkway United, Eureka,
CBC, De Smet Jesuit, Priory and Marquette.
Added to the St. Louis competition this year
will be a club from Francis Howell High.
Lindenwood University is a top national
contender in Division II rugby nationally,
winning the National Collegiate Division
II Championship Title two years ago.
“We are very excited to see Lindenwood
supporting St. Louis high school rugby;
in fact there are several West County high
school graduates that are currently playing
on scholarships on the Lindenwood
squad,” Watson said.
This year with the Lindenwood Tournament
kicking things off, there will be
plenty of high school rugby to see, from
March through May.
The state championship playoffs are set
for May 9-10 in St. Louis. The state playoffs
will include teams from Kansas City
and Jefferson City, as well as St. Louis.

The game will be

The final 24 girls to play
in the 14th annual game were announced
recently during the McDonald’s All American
Games Selection Show on ESPNU.
The boys team also was announced.
The talented Collier has signed to play college
ball at the University of Connecticut.
She just passed the 2,000-point mark
in her career along with topping 1,000
rebounds for Incarnate Word.
Red Knights coach Dan Rolfes said she
is one of the most talented basketball players
in the area.
“She’s a senior and she’s a leader for
us,” Rolfes said. “She’s just a tremendous
player. She’s a big time player. She’s the
best kid St. Louis has ever had. If people
haven’t seen her they need to go out and
see her. She’s something special.”

sets free throw record
Lee McMullin recently became the

made in a career at Parkway West.
McMullin topped the previous record
of 297 set in 2003 by Allison Jaskowiak,
who went on to enjoy a good career playing
for Southern California. But the 6-foot
senior had to overcome a lisfranc foot
injury to achieve that goal. The injury is
common in skiing but not in high school
girls basketball.
“I was getting a
rebound (during her
junior season). I turned
and the force of motion
dislocated my foot,”
McMullin said. “I broke
two bones and tore a
ligament and dislocated
other bones. I was just
McMullin
coming down and twisting my foot did it.
“It’s pretty serious and it’s a pretty rare
injury for basketball. I had a lot of time off.
It was a bad injury.”
McMullin could not walk for four
months. She underwent two surgeries.
“It was a big concern. During the months
where I couldn’t walk, the doctors were
afraid I couldn’t walk normal. I had to
build up the strength in my leg.”
The injury forced McMullin to miss the
fall softball season for the Longhorns and
to continue rehab and get ready for basketball.
“I didn’t start being physically active
until the first day of practice this season,”
McMullin said. “It was really hard getting
back into the game. I didn’t have any muscles
in my right leg. My foot really hurt.
Now I’m over it. I’m 100 percent.”
She said she’s glad to be back and that
setting the school record is an added
bonus that happened when she was driving
to the basket and was fouled during
West’s EPR Classic in a game against Fort
Zumwalt South.
“It was the first free of the game,”
McMullin said.
Being a good free throw shooter takes
work and practice. You don’t just walk up
to the line and throw it at the basket.
“For me, it’s all about routine,” McMullin
said. “I’ve had the same routine for four
years. I take the ball and take two dribbles
and spin the ball and take two dribbles and
then I shoot. That kind of calms me.”
But as good as she is at the free throw
line, Parkway West coach John Sloop said
you can’t label McMullin.
“To label Lee to any one position would
be a disservice,” Sloop said. “We would
call her a guard because she does a little bit
of everything. She can dribble, pass and
shoot. She helps handle the ball against
the press. She makes plays for her teammates.
She can post up, shoot the three
and drive to the basket. She has the ability
to defend different types of players on all
parts of the floor. She is a good rebounder.
She is an extremely well-rounded and versatile
player.”
College squash
Two local athletes are enjoying fine seasons
for the U.S. Naval Academy.
Navy sophomore Reed Whitney, a
MICDS graduate, recently was named
the men’s Harrow Sports College Squash
Player of the Week.
Navy coach Craig Dawson said Whitney
came up big for the Midshipmen in helping
to win against Princeton earlier this season.
“Reed certainly deserved being named the
Squash Player of the Week,” Dawson said.
“Clinching the Princeton victory for Navy
was the best individual effort in the league
that week. Reed is on track to be a four-year
letter winner,” Dawson said. “He has a lot of
touch in the court and his years of training as
a junior give him excellent court knowledge
on how to compete. I expect him to continue
to improve and move up the ladder. He is a
valued member of the team.”
Whitney played club squash at the Missouri
Athletic Club for five years under head
squash pro Heidi Mather and also trained at
St. Louis Center for Functional Medicine
with Dr. Jim Neuwirth and B.T. Hartloge.
Also making a name for himself is Navy
senior and Priory graduate Colin Berry.
“Colin has been a great addition to the
program. He will be a four-year letter
winner,” Dawson said. “His play in the
court reflects his athletic ability as a former
hockey player and his determination as a
future Marine. He just plays to win.”
At Priory, Berry was a four-year letter
winner in hockey and a member of the Priory
hockey team that claimed the Wickenheiser
Cup championship in 2006. He also played
tailback on the Rebels’ football team.
College volleyball
Kelly Ashmore, a native of Town &
Country, has just finished her volleyball
career for the Providence Friars.
Ashmore is a 2011 graduate of Whitfield,
where she was named 2011 Female Athlete
of the Year. She was the first Whitfield volleyball
player to go on to play NCAA Division
I volleyball.
At Providence, Ashmore recorded more
than 1,000 digs and kills in her college career.
The 5-foot-10 Ashmore, in addition to
playing for Whitfield, also played for the
Kirkwood Synergy club team. Ashmore
earned four letters at Whitfield.
She averaged 2.24 kills per set as a
senior, while hitting .333 and also picking
up 4.45 digs per set. She helped Whitfield
to district titles as a sophomore and junior.
Ashmore also played basketball and softball
at Whitfield, leading all three sports to
a district title as a sophomore, for the first
time in school history.

Pickleball: Game with strange
name grows in local popularity
By JIM ERICKSON
ericksonjim@att.net
If you are among those who haven’t
heard of pickleball or know little or nothing
about it, you are part of a group whose
numbers are dwindling rapidly as the sport
explodes in popularity.
The first thing to know is that the game has
nothing to do with pickles. It’s a hybrid sport
of strictly American invention, combining
elements of badminton and tennis primarily,
with aspects of ping pong thrown in.
When I first saw the pastor and associate
pastor at my church playing a game of pickleball
during an activity night several years ago,
I thought it must be something they had made
up. But a few months ago I noticed the game
being played at The Pointe in Ballwin. Watching
from the vantage point of the second-floor
indoor track, I was able to gain a rudimentary
understanding of how the game is played.
The game dates back to 1965 when Joel
Pritchard, a Seattle-area businessman, created
the game with friends to give their kids something
new to do during summer vacation.
Apparently making do with what they had
readily available, the men lowered the net
on a badminton court and used ping pong
paddles to bat a wiffle ball back and forth.
According to Pritchard’s wife, Joan, she
started calling the game pickleball because
its combination of different sports reminded
her of the “pickle boat” in crew, whose oarsmen
are chosen from the leftovers of other
boats. Another theory is that the name came
from another type of pickle boat, the last fishing
boat to return to harbor with its catch. Of
somewhat dubious reliability is the theory the
name came from the Pritchards’ family dog,
Pickles, who was known to chase the ball and
run off with it. However it got its name, the
game caught on quickly in the Seattle area.
Word of mouth initially spread information
about the new sport and the name officially
was incorporated in 1972. The USA
Pickleball Association now is headquartered
in Arizona and the game is played by
people of all ages, in all 50 states and in a
number of foreign nations.
Locally, The Pointe has become a hot
spot for pickleball aficionados with some
125 people, ranging from teens to seniors,
on the roster of players. According to Chris
Conway, the facility’s recreation manager,
about 15 hours of gym time are devoted to
the sport each week.
Rich and Mary Altis, of Ballwin, are The
Pointe’s acknowledged ambassadors, volunteer
coordinators and overall gurus of
the game.
“The doctor had told Rich he should get
more exercise, and we first tried walking here
at the Pointe,” Mary explained. “For us, walking
was kind of boring, so when we saw a flyer
about a pickleball clinic that was going to be
held here, we thought we’d check it out.
“That was in February of 2014 and we’ve
been playing ever since.”
“I play for fun and exercise,” Mary said.
“Rich does, too, but he’s also studied all the
rules so people usually go to him whenever
there’s a question about some aspect of the
game.”
Pickleball is played on a badminton-size
court measuring 20 by 44 feet. Unlike tennis,
the same size court applies for both singles
and doubles. Players use a solid paddle made
of wood or composite materials to strike a
perforated polymer ball similar to a wiffle ball
and send it over a net that divides the court.
In recreational play, the first player or team
to score 11 points wins, although the win
must be by at least two points. In tournament
play, games may be played to 15 or 21 points.
For details on pickleball game play, visit
westnewsmagazine.com, or head to The
Pointe and sign up to learn the game from
those who play.

Better AEDs
FEBRUARY 11, 2015
WEST NEWSMAGAZINE
Health Capsules
To improve the reliability of AEDs, the FDA is
tightening its review of the devices.
VALENTINE'S DAY PARTY
When they operate properly, automated
external defibrillators (AEDs) save lives,
but because the devices often have failed,
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) is tightening its product approval
process.
An AED is a portable, electronic medical
device designed to automatically sense
potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias
and either deliver or advise the user to
deliver electrical stimulation to return the
heart’s rhythm to normal. The equipment
often is available in public places.
According to the FDA, from January
2005-September 2014, the agency
received roughly 72,000 reports of the
devices having failed, and since 2005,
manufacturers have recalled more than 2
million AEDs.
In a statement issued late last month, FDA
officials announced that the agency will
require AED manufacturers to submit premarket
approval applications, which undergo
a more rigorous review than what previously
was required to make the devices.
According to FDA spokesperson Dr.
William Maisel, the new requirement will
allow the agency to more closely monitor
product design and manufacture.
“This will go a long way towards correcting
longstanding problems and ultimately
improving the reliability of these
devices,” Maisel said.
AEDs currently on the market will
remain available while manufacturers work
to comply with the new requirements.
Remote glucose monitoring
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) recently approved the first mobile
application that enables people with diabetes
to securely share with others readings
from a continuous glucose monitor.
“This innovative technology has been
eagerly awaited by the diabetes community,
especially caregivers of children with
diabetes who want to monitor their glucose
levels remotely,” said FDA spokesperson
Alberto Gutierrez.
The newly approved Dexcom Share
system displays data from a continuous
glucose monitor using one app installed
on the patient’s mobile device and another
app installed on the mobile device of
another person. The user can designate
“followers” with whom to share their data
in real time.
According to the FDA, the Dexcom
Share system does not replace real-time
continuous glucose monitoring or standard
home blood glucose monitoring and is not
intended to be used in place of a primary
display device.
More information can be found at fda.gov.
Revised vaccine schedule
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) has issued an updated
immunization schedule for children and
adolescents.
The American Academy of Pediatrics
(AAP) recently published the new vaccine
recommendations, which state that
children aged 2-8 should receive influenza
vaccines, with some children needing a
double dose. The guidelines no longer call
for double doses of the flu vaccine for 9-
and 10-year olds.
The new schedule also recommends that
children aged 6 months to just younger than
February 13th, 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
636-256-6500
www.tlgwestcountymo.com
15825 Manchester Rd, Ellisville, MO 63011
12 months who travel outside the U.S. receive
a measles, mumps and rubella vaccine.
The complete immunization schedule
can be found at cdc.gov.
Seeking volunteers
Hope Hospice, a locally owned, community-based
hospice based at 13537
Barrett Parkway in West County, is seeking
volunteers to provide companionship
to hospice patients.
Compassionate volunteers are needed to
visit patients at the patient’s home or care
facility to talk, read, watch TV – whatever
the patient and caregiver prefer.
Hope Hospice volunteers receive several
hours of individual training and undergo a
thorough background check.
To learn more, call C.J. Bilbrey, volunteer
coordinator, at (314) 984-9800.
New sleep recommendations
The National Sleep Foundation (NSF)
has issued new appropriate daily sleep
duration recommendations for various
age groups. The revised daily recommendations,
published in Sleep Health: The
Official Journal of the National Sleep
Foundation, are summarized as follows:
• Newborns (0-3 months): 14-17 hours
• Infants (4-11 months): 12-15 hours
• Toddlers (1-2 years): 11-14 hours
• Preschoolers (3-5 years): 10-13 hours
• School-age children (6-13 years): 9-11
hours
• Teenagers (14-17 years): 8-10 hours
• Younger adults (18-25 years): 7-9 hours
• Adults (26-64 years): 7-9 hours
• Older adults (65 years and older): 7-8
hours
In addition to the above ranges, the NSF
added a “may be appropriate” range for
each age group to acknowledge the fact
that individuals vary in their sleep requirements.
A “not recommended” range also
was established for each age group.
“This is the first time that any professional
organization has developed agespecific
recommended sleep durations
based on a rigorous, systematic review
of the world scientific literature relating
sleep duration to health, performance and
safety,” said Charles A. Czeisler, chairman

of the NSF board and professor of sleep
medicine at Harvard Medical School. “The
National Sleep Foundation is providing
these scientifically grounded guidelines on
the amount of sleep we need each night to
improve the sleep health of the millions of
individuals and parents who rely on us for
this information.”
In developing the recommendations,
the NSF consulted experts in the areas of
sleep, anatomy and physiology, pediatrics,
neurology, gerontology and gynecology.
Green tea discovery
Food scientists at Penn State University
believe that a component of green tea may
be instrumental in killing oral cancer cells.
A compound in green tea known as
EGCG may trigger a process that leads to
the death of oral cancer cells while leaving
healthy cells alone, Penn State researchers
said. Earlier studies have suggested
the same, but the latest study is the first to
demonstrate how the compound is able to
target cancer cells.
Particularly noteworthy is the fact that
EGCG affects cancer cells differently than
normal cells.
“The problem with a lot of chemotherapy
drugs – especially early chemotherapy
drugs – is that they really just target
rapidly dividing cells, so cancer divides
rapidly, but so do cells in your hair follicles
and cells in your intestines, so you
have a lot of side effects, but you don’t
see these sorts of side effects with green
tea consumption,” Penn State researcher
Joshua Lambert said.
If further tests and human trials are successful,
the findings could lead to treatments
for other kinds of cancer, too, Lambert said.

Answer: Dementia is the loss of mental functions such as thinking,
memory, and reasoning that is severe enough to interfere with a person’s
daily functioning. Dementia is not a disease itself, but rather a group of
symptoms that are caused by various diseases or conditions. Symptoms
can also include changes in personality, mood, and behavior. Alzheimer’s
disease causes 50% to 60% of all dementias. But researchers have found
that two nervous diseases, which were originally incorrectly diagnosed as
Alzheimer’s in the early stages, are emerging as major causes of dementia:
Lewy body disease and Pick’s disease or frontotemporal dementia (FTB) .

First-time homebuyers
make a comeback
First-time homebuyers are expected to
re-emerge in the new year after mostly staying
out of the market in the aftermath of the
housing crisis. That’s one of Realtor.com’s
top five housing predictions for 2015.
“In 2015, increases in employment
opportunities will empower younger
buyers to return to the market and fuel
the continued housing recovery. If access
to credit improves, we could see substantially
larger numbers of young buyers in
the market,” a spokesman for the National
Association of Realtors noted.
In 2014 first-timers made up around 30
percent of homebuyers.
Here’s what’s new in new homes:
Free hardwood at McKelvey Homes’
Wyndemere Estates
McKelvey Homes is offering homebuyers
a sneak peek at its newest community,
on Hwy. N in Lake Saint Louis.
“Hurry in to take advantage of pre-grand
opening prices,” urged McKelvey President
Jim Brennan.
Wyndemere Estates will have 85 homes
when completed and is conveniently
located 2 miles from Hwy. 40 and only a
few minutes from schools, restaurants and
shopping, including The Meadows, Brennan
pointed out.
Prices start in the low $300’s.
This past weekend McKelvey opened the
first of two display homes from its popular
Designer Series. The ranch-style Sterling
has 2,511 square feet and is available with
three or four bedrooms. The dramatic open
floor plan features a great room, kitchen,
breakfast room, hearth room and dining
room. The Sterling display features a finished
walkout lower level and a study.
Opening in April is a display of one of
McKelvey’s most popular story-and-ahalf
plans, the spacious 3,717-square-foot
Muirfield. The Designer Series of upscale
homes include a three-car garage, fireplace,
9-foot ceilings on the main level and much
more, according to Brennan.
The neighborhood boasts spacious
homes from 2,470 to 4,015 square feet,
situated on large homesites ranging from
one-quarter to one-half acre.
“Right now, not only do we also have
pre-construction pricing, but during the
month of February homebuyers also get
free hardwood flooring in the kitchen,
breakfast room and hearth room, per plan,”

Brennan said.
Wyndemere Estates is in the Wentzville
School District. To reach the development,

N approximately 2 miles; the community is on
the right. For information, contact Community
Sales Manager Sheri Luster at (636) 332-9884,

Lombardo Homes opens display at
Timberleaf in Cottleville
Lombardo Homes’ newest community,
the Estates at Timberleaf is now open.
Located east of Gutermouth Road and
south of Old Gutermouth Road in Cottleville,

potential homeowners the opportunity to

Jaycees celebrate 100 years of positive change
St. Louis Jaycee members Karen Dabrowski
(red shirt) and Danielle Strong shop for the
Holiday Family Assistance Program.
By DAN FOX
dfox@newsmagazinenetwork.com
Let’s play a little game.
An international organization whose
headquarters is located in Chesterfield is
closing in on its 100-year anniversary. Do
you know which one
International flags fly in front of its building
and many area residents and employees
pass by it, most of them wondering what
lies within.
The organization has a passion for positive
change on a global scale.
Have you guessed it yet
“It’s really common for people to stop
in and ask what kind of work we do. They
see the Turkish flag and assume we do
something international, but don’t know
who we are or what we’re about.” said
Emily Anderson, growth and development
manager for Junior Chamber International,
the organization in question.
Not everyone has heard of JCI, but many
people are familiar with the Jaycees, or the
Junior Chamber. Since its inception, the
organization has left a deep impact in the
community.
A Jaycee near you
There are numerous JCI chapters in both
St. Louis and St. Charles, though they tend
to go by different names. Many simply
refer to themselves as Jaycees. And, as different
as their names can be, so are their
missions. Anderson said the projects of the
local chapters are determined by the needs
of their communities and the passions of
the individual members.
For example, the St. Charles Chapter of
the Jaycees partners with Angels’ Arms
each December to select approximately 10
• • •
children from local foster homes with whom
they celebrate the holidays. The children are
given $100 to spend on themselves or another
person at Target. Members wrap those gifts
and deliver them on Christmas Day.
On the international level, the St. Charles
Jaycees, in a joint effort with JCI, this year
raised money for Nothing but Nets, a global
campaign to send mosquito nets to Africa
to help combat malaria. The Jaycees held a
free-throw tournament with the St. Charles
Boys and Girls Club, and used the opportunity
to educate the gathered kids about the
problem malaria poses to children in other
parts of the world.
Jennifer Smith, president of the St.
Charles Jaycees, said she’d like to see her
chapter conduct more events to educate
residents and children while supporting an
international cause. In fact, much of JCI’s
local work focuses on interacting with and
engaging kids, and using that as a springboard
to educate them on larger issues
prevalent in other parts of the world.
“Children in this community and the
county area, it’s really easy for them to
grow up in this bubble, and really distant
from the problems of the world and even
problems in their local area,” Anderson
said. “We know that while our problems
may be relative to St. Louis, we’re not
the only ones experiencing them, and we
can learn from other initiatives around the
world to solve our own local problems.”
One for all, around the world
While JCI and its affiliates work as separate
units, all are members of the larger
organization.
“We’re all the same group,” Danielle
Strong, president of the St. Louis Jaycees,
said. “All of our projects coordinate with
each other at some point.”
As the organization reaches the international
level, Anderson says the focus of
each group changes slightly, all while staying
focused around JCI’s eight Millennium
Development Goals – a set of long-term
objectives adopted in 2004 which include
combatting deadly diseases and world hunger.
“The mission and vision stay consistent
throughout all of our local organizations,”
Anderson said. “All of our members work
to create sustainable impact in their communities,
but the actual projects they conduct
look different based on where they’re
located and the needs of their community…
young people in Europe focus on different
ways to develop their communities than
young people in Africa, because their community
needs are different.
Members of the St. Charles Jaycees on their 1921 fire truck in the Riverfest Fourth of July parade.
“Our members in Europe are very business-minded,
especially as a solution to
the needs in Europe today. They’re very
focused on solving youth unemployment,
and address that issue through promoting
entrepreneurship.”
At the JCI world headquarters in Chesterfield,
members bring local and international
concerns together through hands-on
activities and services.
One such activity is a poverty simulation.
Participants get a crash course on the dayto-day
life of a person in poverty by acting
out specific roles.
“You could be a single parent raising
three kids, or you could be a grandparent
raising grandkids, you could be a senior
citizen living alone,” Anderson said. “You
get an identity, and based upon your situation
you have to meet your basic needs on
limited resources.”
JCI staffs the simulation with volunteers
who have lived in poverty and can make
the scenario realistic based on their own
experiences. At the end of the simulation,
the participants and volunteers go through
a reflection period to discuss the experience.
Jeff Burgess, president of Commerce
Brokerage Services, was given the role
of a young child in a recent JCI poverty
simulation. Dealing with limited recourses
and challenges like money, transportation
and even time was an eye-opening experience
for Burgess, and he said he walked
away from the simulation with a better
appreciation for the challenges people with
economic hardships face on a daily basis.
“The concept of limited resources was
demonstrated very well through the simulation,”
Burgess said. “I thought that JCI did a
great job of putting on the simulation.”
Helping young professionals grow
Despite the organization’s long history,
Strong said getting the word out about the
Jaycees and recruiting new members can
be a challenge.
@WESTNEWSMAG
WESTNEWSMAGAZINE.COM
Strong said that to help spread the word
about the St. Louis Jaycees and JCI, her
chapter has been investigating partnerships
with businesses and local colleges.
Nora Amato, executive-director of the
Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce, said
the efforts of JCI actually help local communities
stay vibrant by retaining young,
educated professionals.
“A lot of the time, people that are more
educated end up getting their educations
and leaving instead of going back to their
areas and helping grow their own communities,”
Amato said. But she noted that JCI
enables those educated young professionals
to engage with their local communities
in ways that help them and their local communities
to grow.
Celebrating 100 years of service
In July, JCI will hold a symposium on
social equality and the search for human
dignity in the 21st century.
The symposium has a two-fold objective:
provide a forum for conversations about
social inequality and how to tackle the
problem, and provide an outlet for citizens
across the region to take action.
“We’re at the forefront right now in
headlines with this issue in Ferguson, and
everyone is waiting to see what we’re
going to do,” Anderson said. “So this really
gives our community a springboard from
which they can take action and address it.”
In addition to the symposium, JCI will
celebrate its centennial with a number of
other events throughout the area. A documentary
being filmed about the organization
will have a screening around JCI’s
birthday in October. Following that will be
a gala dinner. Other events are still being
planned by local Jaycee chapters.
Also to commemorate its last 100 years,
Anderson said JCI plans to construct a
monument in Chesterfield that shares some
of the history of the organization, and the
vision its members have for the future.

Trying to navigate through restaurant menus stuffed with
options can leave diners feeling overwhelmed, craving
everything and wondering if they made the one right choice.
But at Hibachi Grill Supreme Buffet, customers of every
age never need to chose just one. In fact, they can have it
all – with over 200 items offered daily that showcacse classic
Chinese, Japanese, Italian, American and Mexican fare.
Hibachi Grill Supreme Buffet is easily the biggest buffet
restaurant in the Greater St. Louis area.
“We have a lot of variety,” said Chun Yang, manager of Hibachi
Grill Supreme Buffet. “You can have whatever you like.”
At Hibachi Grill Supreme Buffet, there are 10 separate
buffet stations featuring hot and cold bars, plus a popular
sushi bar and hibachi grill.
When guests arrive, they are greeted quickly and seated
in the 12,000-square-foot restaurant, which is split into
two comfortable dining areas, then invited to visit the various
buffet bars and fill their plates.
Showcased among Hibachi’s hot bars are classic Chinese
and Asian dishes.
“It’s really good,” said Will Ford, a Hibachi Grill customer.
“My favorite is the hot-braised chicken, and the
fried rice is really, really good.”
According to Yang, the Black Pepper Chicken, Hibachi
Chicken and Mongolian Beef are among Hibachi’s greatest hits.
“And people say we have the best crab Rangoon in town,”
added Yang.
Italian and Mexican fare includes pasta, pizza, tacos and
more.
Craving an all-American rib-eye steak and mashed potatoes
Hibachi has that too – along with mussels on the
half-shell, chilled seafood like boiled shrimp, and other
exotics from the sea – all customer favorites.
Vegetarians will find a bounty of fresh choices at the
salad bar, including Hibachi’s special ranch dressing made
fresh daily.
While most selections are available all day long, some
delicacies – such as crab and frog legs – are available only
during dinner hours.
Satisfying one’s sweet tooth is a breeze at Hibachi’s dessert
bar, which is filled with temptations like ice cream,
cakes, puddings, fresh fruit and more.
Located just behind the main buffet is the sushi bar and
hibachi grill.
At the hibachi grill, diners can select fresh vegetables,
beef, chicken and shrimp along with noodles or rice, then
passing their selections to one of Hibachi’s professional
chefs. The dish is seasoned according to the customer’s
preference and cooked on the spot.
“We have over 13 different styles of sushi all of the time,
and customers really like the hibachi grill because you can
pick what you want fresh and the hibachi chef cooks right
in front of you,” said Yang.
