Stange Law Firm, PC<br />
According to national data, the average<br />
cost of a wedding is approximately $35,000.<br />
Obviously, some larger weddings can cost<br />
more than this amount, while other smaller<br />
weddings can cost less. But this is the average<br />
cost nonetheless.<br />
Many also wonder about the average<br />
cost of a divorce when they are about to get<br />
divorced. Many theorize that the cost of a<br />
divorce should be significantly less than the<br />
cost of the marriage itself.<br />
Is this realistic? Should it really cost less<br />
to get out of the marriage than it did to get<br />
married in the first place? If so, why?<br />
The reality is that to get divorced, parties<br />
can really only complete it one of two<br />
ways<br />
Ṫhe first way is through a comprehensive<br />
settlement where parties agree entirely<br />
on property and debt division, child custody,<br />
child support, spousal maintenance and attorney’s<br />
fees.<br />
The second way is when the parties cannot<br />
agree on one-hundred percent of those<br />
issues. Instead, after a trial, a judge ends up<br />
having to decide for them.<br />
According to a recent article, the average<br />
cost of a party to get divorced was<br />
$15,000. But when multiplying that number<br />
by 2 for both parties, the combined total cost<br />
is about $30,000. This is about the same as<br />
the cost of the average wedding — give or<br />
take a few thousand dollars.<br />
Of course, some divorces can be settled<br />
quickly and easily at less cost. Others, on the<br />
other hand, can be complicated and cost significantly<br />
more.<br />
This is really no different from the cost<br />
of a wedding average. Some weddings are<br />
small and do not cost a lot, while others are<br />
large weddings where the cost is much higher.<br />
For whatever reason, many are surprised<br />
Paid Advertisement<br />
Average cost of divorce roughly<br />
equals the average cost of a wedding<br />
that the cost to end the marriage is roughly<br />
about the same as the cost to get into the<br />
marriage. Why that is probably has more to<br />
do with the emotional willingness of parties<br />
to pay for something that is joyous (like<br />
a wedding) versus something not as joyous<br />
(like a divorce).<br />

RANDOM THOUGHTS<br />
This week, <strong>Mid</strong> <strong>Rivers</strong> <strong>Newsmagazine</strong><br />
talks with motivational speaker John<br />
O’Leary, host of the Live Inspired podcast<br />
and bestselling author of “On Fire: The<br />
7 Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired<br />
Life.” When O’Leary was 9 years old, he<br />
was given a 1-percent chance of survival<br />
after 100 percent of his body was burned in<br />
an explosive house fire. That was in 1987.<br />
Today, O’Leary travels the globe, speaking<br />
to hundreds of thousands of people and<br />
inspires clients that include the St. Louis<br />
Cardinals and more.<br />
What’s the funniest thing you’ve seen a<br />
kid do?<br />
For me, one of the stories I like to share<br />
about my own children ... [happened] after<br />
picking my son Patrick up from school. He<br />
was only a preschooler, so he was a young,<br />
little guy, maybe around 4 years old. So,<br />
on the way home, on the highway, I hear<br />
the horrible sound of a child throwing up<br />
in the back of the car. I know it’s Patrick,<br />
and I know his two siblings are next to<br />
him, and the sound just keeps coming and<br />
coming and coming. Then, it stops. I look<br />
in the mirror and see Patrick’s face … and<br />
[he] just wipes his mouth and looks in the<br />
mirror and says, “Don’t worry, Dad, I got it<br />
all in your briefcase.”<br />
What pets did you have while growing up?<br />
It’s funny because my mom was not an<br />
animal lover as we were growing up. We<br />
were lucky enough to get a golden retriever<br />
when I was around 4 years old. That was<br />
awesome. Then, one of my sisters found<br />
a cat that was looking for a new someone,<br />
and somehow we convinced our mother to<br />
let us take the cat in. This cat, around three<br />
weeks later, had kittens. So, at one point<br />
we had a dog, a cat and I think eight kittens<br />
in our basement. We also had a gerbil and<br />
two pet birds for a while. So, the point is,<br />
my mother was not wild about animals, but<br />
she adored her children, and kept saying<br />
“yes,” because she was more like St. Francis<br />
than a mother. … It’s a credit to her. We<br />
didn’t realize how great that was as kids,<br />
but looking back on it, to do the things you<br />
know your kids want rather than what you<br />
feel like you need, that’s really generous.<br />
Have you ever saved someone’s life?<br />
That’s heavy. Of course, I’ve been told<br />
so, and for readers, this might need a little<br />
context. When I was a child, I was burned<br />
A Community Conversation<br />
John O’Leary<br />
severely. I should have died, but ended up<br />
surviving through many remarkable events<br />
taking place sequentially. Now, as an adult,<br />
I’m a father of four and a husband, and I<br />
travel the world as a speaker, an author and<br />
a podcast host.<br />
For me, my favorite of all the stories<br />
we’ve heard ... was a gentleman who read<br />
my book “On Fire” and brought it into his<br />
daughter’s emergency room after she tried<br />
to take her own life and gave it to her. So,<br />
this girl is going through recovery ... [and]<br />
ends up reading “On Fire.” As she got to<br />
the end of it, she told her father, “Dad, I<br />
used to want to die, but after reading this<br />
book, now I realize that it’s life I want. I<br />
want to live and live more fully.”<br />
When [I] hear stories like this, it reminds<br />
me why I do the work I do, why I wake up<br />
early, why I stay up late, why I catch these<br />
red-eye flights to get where we need to go.<br />
It’s not about us. It’s ultimately about what<br />
our message can be for those in the community,<br />
and those people we might never<br />
even meet face-to-face.<br />
What would be the best thing you could<br />
reasonably expect to find in a cave?<br />
My wife and four kids would be the<br />
best thing I’d like to find in a cave. I work<br />
hard, and I work not for glory or income<br />
or status. I work to, like, by life, make this<br />
place and world a little bit better generally,<br />
but specifically for my wife and four kids.<br />
So, if I could stumble into a cave and find<br />
them, that would be more than I could reasonably<br />
expect and that’s all I would need.<br />

This procedure is non-surgical, drug and needle free<br />
What is Spinal<br />
Decompression Therapy?<br />
Spinal Decompression Therapy is proven to<br />
be a safe and effective means to treat severe<br />
chronic cervical (neck) and lumbar (low back)<br />
conditions. The program consists of an FDAcleared<br />
non-surgical Spinal Decompression<br />
machine focusing on discal and arthritic<br />
conditions affections the spine.<br />
Along with Decompression Therapy, ancillary<br />
care is provided in the form of Physiotherapy<br />
modalities and procedures. Decompression<br />
Therapy provides relief by gently separating<br />
the bones of the spine by reducing the<br />
pressure within the disc (intradiscal pressure).<br />
Disc decompression treats the source of the<br />
pain, caused by disc bulge or disc herniation<br />
pressure. Treatment is computer controlled and<br />
very comfortable. These advanced methods use<br />
precise movements to reduce muscle spasms<br />
that could work against the decompression<br />
motion. More advanced methods also direct<br />
the treatment to specific levels of the spine by<br />
varying the angle of decompression making the<br />
treatment more effective.<br />
What conditions does<br />
Spinal Decompression<br />
Therapy treat?<br />
Spinal Decompression Therapy can<br />
effectively treat: Disc herniations (low back<br />
pain and/or leg pain/numbness & neck pain<br />
and/or arm pain/numbness), Degenerative<br />
Disc Disease, Arthritis, Facet Syndrome, Failed<br />
Back, Surgery/Post Surgical Pain Syndrome,<br />
Sciatica and many other low back conditions.<br />
The Doctors will do a thorough examination to<br />
see if you are a big candidate for the procedure.<br />

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR<br />
A plot against Jefferson<br />
To the Editor:<br />
The St. Louis Gateway Arch National<br />
Park, formerly the Jefferson National<br />
Expansion memorial, recently had its<br />
name changed by Congress, sponsored<br />
by Sen. Roy Blunt, Sen. Claire McCaskill,<br />
Rep. Lacy Clay, Rep. Ann Wagner and Rep.<br />
Blaine Luetkemeyer, and signed into law<br />
by the president. [“Gateway Arch becomes<br />
national park,” <strong>Mid</strong> <strong>Rivers</strong> <strong>Newsmagazine</strong>,<br />
March 7].<br />
The reasons given to the press may not<br />
be the true reasons for the name change. It<br />
smells of yet another attack on the name<br />
and personage of Thomas Jefferson.<br />
The St. Louis History Museum is<br />
another example. Since its inception, it’s<br />
been known as the Jefferson Memorial<br />
Museum, but recently changed its name<br />
by eliminating “Jefferson,” which still can<br />
be seen etched in cement on the building’s<br />
facade, but erased to the degree possible.<br />
It gives cause to wonder what the future<br />
holds in store for us, regarding the memory<br />
of our Founding Fathers, because they<br />
were mostly slave owners. I suggest that<br />
we stop and think. Were it not for them<br />
and the things they accomplished in their<br />
time and place, during which human bondage<br />
was as common as eating and sleeping,<br />
few of us, of any race, would today have<br />
been born.<br />
Is the Washington Monument on the list<br />
of things to go? Mt. Rushmore? And let’s<br />
not forget Abraham Lincoln who was a<br />
white supremacist as well. Locally, Grant’s<br />
Farm originally was built with slave labor.<br />
Can we anticipate our “progressive”<br />
government someday apologizing to England<br />
for the Revolutionary War because its<br />
colonial, rebellious leaders were mostly<br />
slave owners? I’ve heard it said that the<br />
biggest mistake a historian can make is to<br />
judge the past by modern standards. Obviously,<br />
that rule does not apply to Congress.<br />
Bob Arnold<br />
Concerned about HB 1936<br />
To the Editor:<br />
In the wake of more school shootings, I<br />
know many of us feel helpless. To add salt<br />
to an already raw wound, I was recently<br />
made aware of HB 1936. I was horrified by<br />
this bill that would force public colleges to<br />
allow anyone to carry concealed guns on<br />
campus.<br />
On Feb. 26, I attended the Missouri<br />
House General Laws Committee hearing<br />
for this bill, and I heard testimony from<br />
representatives for the city of St. Louis<br />
police, public transportation, the American<br />
Federation of Teachers and the Missouri<br />
National Education Association,<br />
along with the head of the University of<br />
Central Missouri campus security, the<br />
executive director of the Community<br />
College Association, and countless civilians,<br />
all opposing this bill. Stunningly, it<br />
passed.<br />
As a mother of a child who will be<br />
attending UMKC in the fall, it hits too<br />
close to home. My son is now terrified this<br />
bill will become law. Students don’t want<br />
this, so why are we forcing it on them?<br />
College campuses are already rife with<br />
stress, alcohol, recreational drug use and<br />
suicide. Let’s not add loaded weapons into<br />
the fray.<br />
Additionally, HB 1936 calls for allowing<br />
guns in daycare centers, bars, casinos, hospitals<br />
and on private property even if the<br />
owner does not want guns on-site.<br />
This is a dangerous and irresponsible<br />
piece of legislation. The bill is set to be<br />
heard next in the House Rules Committee.<br />
If you, too, are a concerned citizen,<br />
call your representative and oppose HB<br />
1936.<br />
Heather Andrew<br />
Political dishonesty<br />
To the Editor:<br />
I heard this morning, March 12, that<br />
Claire McCaskill has not filed for re-election<br />
yet. That fact has not dissuaded her<br />
from airing her first campaign ad against<br />
Josh Hawley. I didn’t catch the entire TV<br />
ad , but I did hear that McCaskill is “for tax<br />
cuts that help the middle class.”<br />
Apparently, she was for tax cuts before<br />
she was against them, and is now once<br />
again for them.<br />
Readers should check out the Washington<br />
Post fact checker article that reviewed<br />
“our” senator’s comments on the tax bill –<br />
“that the Republican tax reform law will not<br />
benefit the majority of people in the long<br />
run.” The Post gave it two Pinocchio’s,<br />
meaning the claim contained “significant<br />
omissions and/or exaggerations.”<br />
Come on, Claire, you can’t have it both<br />
ways. You voted for and would not repeal<br />
an economy-killer like Obamacare, a bill<br />
that taxed everything in sight, and would<br />
not vote for a bill to put money back in<br />
people’s pockets, claiming the age-old<br />
Democratic class warfare slogan that it<br />
only helped the rich and created debt?<br />
Where were you during Obama’s eight<br />
years and $10 trillion of debt? Apparently<br />
spending ourselves into oblivion is OK,<br />
but allowing us to spend our money is not<br />
the liberal way. Happy to say that the facts<br />
are against you on it only helping the rich.<br />
I trust Missourians will wake up and<br />
give us a second conservative in the U.S.<br />
Senate this fall.<br />

COTTLEVILLE<br />
City close to placing use<br />
tax on the Aug. 7 ballot<br />
Cottleville may be the latest St. Charles<br />
County municipality to ask its residents to<br />
vote on whether to impose a “use tax” on<br />
goods totaling $2,000 or more annually<br />
and purchased from out-of-state vendors.<br />
The city’s Board of Aldermen gave a<br />
first reading to a bill at its March 14 meeting<br />
to place the use tax on the Aug. 7 ballot.<br />
A second reading and vote may take place<br />
at the board’s April <strong>18</strong> meeting.<br />
A use tax is a sales tax applied to the purchase<br />
of goods by Missouri residents and<br />
businesses from out-of-state vendors. Currently,<br />
sales tax applies only to local retail<br />
purchases in Missouri. It is designed to<br />
capture lost sales tax revenue. It is applied<br />
to the same type of products subject to<br />
sales tax; items exempt from sales tax<br />
would be exempt from a use tax.<br />
Currently, 45 states and 105 Missouri<br />
cities with populations over 5,000 have<br />
use taxes in place, including Wentzvllle,<br />
Foristell, the state of Missouri and St.<br />
Charles County.<br />
A use tax in Cottleville would be 2 percent,<br />
the same as the city sales tax. If that<br />
sales tax rate is raised or lowered, the use<br />
tax would follow suit. The Missouri Municipal<br />
League has estimated that a use tax in<br />
Cottleville might generate $65,000 annually.<br />
If Cottleville agrees to place the use tax<br />
on the ballot, it would join Lake Saint Louis,<br />
St. Peters, O’Fallon and St. Charles in placing<br />
use tax proposals on the August ballot.<br />
O’FALLON<br />
Grant received for park<br />
reconstruction project<br />
The city of O’Fallon’s plan to provide<br />
O’Day Park with natural meadows and wildflower<br />
areas received a major boost from<br />
the Missouri Department of Conservation<br />
[MDC], which notified the city that it will<br />
receive a Community Conservation Grant<br />
Program matching grant of $30,000 for the<br />
O’Day Park Prairie Reconstruction project.<br />
“Everybody loves to see prairie and wildflower<br />
meadows, but the plantings take a<br />
good deal of planning and follow-through<br />
maintenance, so we are lucky that the Missouri<br />
Department of Conservation stepped<br />
in with funds to do this correctly right from<br />
the start,” said Bob Deardeuff, O’Fallon ‘s<br />
Parks and Recreation landscape manager.<br />
The grant calls for the city to control<br />
invasive species in the project area; seed<br />
at least 8 acres in O’Day Park with native<br />
grasses and plants, develop and implement<br />
a 15-year, long-term management plan to<br />
maintain habitat improvements, and install<br />
signs provided by the MDC to identify the<br />
project as supported by the Missouri Conservation<br />
Department.<br />
For its part, the city will provide $27,000<br />
in matching funds or in-kind assistance to<br />
acquire or rent specialized equipment, pay<br />
salaries and provide other expenses to support<br />
the project.<br />
Utility tax rebate filing begins<br />
April 2 for certain residents<br />
O’Fallon residents age 65 or older or<br />
legally-disabled, may qualify for the city’s<br />
utility tax rebate on telephone, cellphone,<br />
gas and electric taxes paid to the city in<br />
2017.<br />
To qualify, annual adjusted gross income<br />
cannot be more than $41,750 for a single<br />
head-of-household or $47,700 for a married<br />
[two-person] household. Social Security<br />
income is not counted.<br />
For those who qualify, city staff and<br />
volunteers will help residents file for the<br />
rebates in person at O’Fallon’s Municipal<br />
Centre, 100 N. Main St. in O’Fallon. Filing<br />
begins Monday, April 2, and continues<br />
through Thursday, May 31. Hours are 9<br />
a.m.-4 p.m. on weekdays.<br />
To file, residents must have a photo ID<br />
showing their O’Fallon address, a copy of<br />
their 2017 tax return and copies of residents<br />
2017 gas, electric and phone bills, including<br />
your phone bill. If residents have been<br />
determined disabled by the Social Security<br />
Administration, they also need legal proof<br />
of disability.<br />

ST. CHARLES COUNTY<br />
Assessor reminds citizens to<br />
declare personal property<br />
As required by state law, the St. Charles<br />
County assessor will mail approximately<br />
46,000 personal property assessment<br />
forms for 20<strong>18</strong> by March 20 to taxpayers<br />
who failed to respond to the initial January<br />
mailing. Forms were due by March 1. Late<br />
filing penalties will be applied on May 1.<br />
Individual personal property owners<br />
can file their assessment online. The<br />
e-filing website and unique secure access<br />
code for the individual personal property<br />
owner’s account is printed on the form.<br />
The e-filing link also is available through<br />
the assessor’s website, sccmo.org/assessor.<br />
When filing online, taxpayers receive<br />
automatic confirmation that their form was<br />
received. Residents who mailed their form<br />
can verify receipt on the assessor’s website<br />
through the personal property assessment<br />
confirmation database by entering in their<br />
address information.<br />
Residents who have questions or did<br />
not receive a form to declare their personal<br />
property may contact the Personal<br />
Property Department at (636) 949-7420 or<br />
1-800-822-4012, ext. 7420. The assessor’s<br />
website includes both individual and business<br />
personal property forms.<br />
“The Assessor’s Office is ready to help if<br />
residents have any questions about filing<br />
online or personal property in general,”<br />
County Assessor Scott Shipman said.<br />
Taxpayers who do not file a personal<br />
property assessment each year find themselves<br />
at the assessor’s office during the<br />
end-of-the-year rush, mainly for three reasons:<br />
• New residents are not familiar with the<br />
personal property declaration requirement.<br />
• Residents did not receive a tax bill<br />
because their personal property declaration<br />
form was not returned to the assessor.<br />
• Residents experience difficulties renewing<br />
or registering license plates due to<br />
incorrect information reported on their<br />
personal property declaration.<br />
By state law, personal property assessments<br />
must be filed with the assessor every<br />
year.<br />
“Completion of the form assures a fair and<br />
equitable distribution of the tax burden,”<br />
Shipman said. “The tax rate for everyone<br />
in the county is impacted when citizens do<br />
not declare their personal property.”<br />
Forms filed by May 1 provide the opportunity<br />
to appeal the value, if necessary.

New Route 364 interchange at Gutermuth<br />
Road expected to ease traffic congestion<br />
By BRIAN FLINCHPAUGH<br />
A new interchange on Route 364 at<br />
Gutermuth Road is expected to lessen traffic<br />
congestion on nearby roads and in Cottleville,<br />
providing new access on and off<br />
Route 364, and possibly opening up more<br />
land for development.<br />
Cottleville Mayor Jim Hennessey said<br />
whenever there is a new interchange, business<br />
is going to move in. There already are<br />
tentative plans for gas stations and Hennessy<br />
said land near the interchange may be<br />
built up. He said he had not yet heard plans<br />
for major new developments, but property<br />
owners in the area are looking at options.<br />
“You get an interchange off a highway<br />
like that, you’re going to do whatever you<br />
can,” Hennessey said.<br />
An open house on the possible design for<br />
the interchange was held on March 8. The<br />
meeting allowed the public to view largescale<br />
maps and discuss the project with St.<br />
Charles County and Missouri Department<br />
of Transportation officials. Officials from<br />
the engineering consultant on the project,<br />
GBA Inc., and Cottleville also were available<br />
to answer questions.<br />
The proposed interchange is intended to<br />
reduce traffic congestion at the <strong>Mid</strong> <strong>Rivers</strong><br />
Mall Drive and Hwy. K interchanges on<br />
Route 364 by providing a new access<br />
to Route 364 within a 4.4 mile stretch<br />
between <strong>Mid</strong> <strong>Rivers</strong> Mall Drive and Hwy.<br />
K, where there isn’t one now.<br />
Half the cost of the $9 million interchange<br />
is being picked up by St. Charles<br />
County. MoDOT is expected to provide $3<br />
million and the Federal Highway Administration<br />
is expected to provide $1.5 million.<br />
The way the cost is divided in this case<br />
is unusual because, in the past, federal and<br />
state funds have provided the bulk of the<br />
money for major highway and road projects.<br />
Previously, the federal and state’s<br />
shares often amounted to picking up 90<br />

percent of a project’s cost. The lack of<br />
state funding has made it difficult for the<br />
state to provide the funds needed to obtain<br />
matched federal funding.<br />
The county has stepped in to provide<br />
more of its own money for a number of<br />
major road projects in recent years. The<br />
county used its half-cent transportation<br />
sales tax funding to help pay for the completion<br />
of the final leg of Route 364 and,<br />
most recently, $1.5 million for an environmental<br />
assessment study along Hwy. N.<br />
The sales tax, approved by county voters,<br />
is used largely to fund local road improvement<br />
projects.<br />
The intersection and new road work are<br />
expected to include the interchange and<br />
extend 1,300 feet along Gutermuth Road<br />
and 3,900 feet along Route 364.<br />
The work also is expected to include new<br />
on- and off-ramps on Route 364, as well<br />
as new acceleration and deceleration lanes,<br />
retaining walls and sound walls, interchange<br />
lighting and signage, and roundabouts.<br />
Chris Bostic, project manager for the St.<br />
Charles County Highway Department, said<br />
the interchange will not require acquisition<br />
of homes or businesses, although some<br />
rights-of-way will need to be acquired.<br />
He agreed that the interchange may not<br />
only improve traffic flow but also provide<br />
economic benefits along <strong>Mid</strong> <strong>Rivers</strong> Mall<br />
Drive and Hwy. K.<br />
“Sometimes, it gets so congested that<br />
nobody wants to go there and shop anymore,”<br />
Bostic said.<br />
Bostic said public comments and the open<br />
house generally were supportive, although<br />
nearby Cottleville residents are worried<br />
about traffic speeds and the difficulty of<br />
turning into and exiting driveways. Comments<br />
are being taken at the county highway<br />
department until Thursday, March 22.<br />
Design work on the project is expected<br />
to be completed by late 20<strong>18</strong> with completion<br />
projected for late 2019 or early 2020.<br />

St. Peters OKs bonds to help finance Amazon fulfillment center project<br />
By BRIAN FLINCHPAUGH<br />
The bright television lights were off, a<br />
parade of local officials in front of microphones<br />
was not evident and speeches<br />
about Amazon coming to town largely<br />
were over as St. Peters officials got down<br />
to the business of providing financing that<br />
could bring thousands of jobs to the community.<br />
The city’s Board of Aldermen voted 8-0<br />
at its March 8 meeting to approve two separate<br />
resolutions sought by Duke Realty.<br />
One resolution issues $75 million in<br />
industrial revenue bonds to pay for building<br />
an 855,800-square-foot center to house<br />
a new Amazon fulfillment facility that is<br />
expected to result in 1,500 new jobs. The<br />
other resolution issues $13.5 million in<br />
bonds to pay for adding 137,000 square<br />
feet of space for a new fulfillment facility<br />
for Grove Collaborative, Inc., which will<br />
create <strong>21</strong>0 new jobs. Both facilities are at<br />
Duke Realty’s Premier 370 Business Park.<br />
The Grove Collaborative facility is in a<br />
spec building built by Duke at 1000 Premier<br />
Parkway, and the Amazon facility is<br />
to be built on a lot just down the street at<br />
4000 Premier Parkway.<br />
Grove Collaborative is a San Franciscobased,<br />
online company that sells natural<br />
home and personal care products. Its new<br />
fulfillment facility, its third after ones<br />
in Pennsylvania and Nevada, will significantly<br />
reduce shipping times, company<br />
A rendering of the proposed Amazon fulfillment center<br />
officials say.<br />
But the big news – generating headlines<br />
and garnering local and national attention<br />
on March 7 – was the announcement of the<br />
first Amazon fulfillment center in Missouri<br />
and the jobs it will generate that come with<br />
an array of benefits.<br />
State law allows municipalities to issue<br />
bonds and act as conduits of financing.<br />
Payments cover the principal and interest<br />
on the bonds.<br />
Alderman Patrick Barclay [Ward 4] said<br />
the resolutions offer some assurances that<br />
the city is protected if something goes<br />
wrong with the bonds. He noted that the resolutions<br />
have clauses stating that the bonds<br />
will not be a debt to the city or state of Missouri<br />
and that Duke will reimburse the city<br />
for all fees and out-of-pocket expenses if<br />
the bonds are not issued within a year.<br />
With the passage of the resolutions, the<br />
city will provide sales tax certificates that<br />
[Duke Realty image]<br />
will enable Duke to obtain state sales tax<br />
exemptions on all construction materials<br />
for both projects.<br />
State officials say Amazon could receive<br />
$7.95 million in sales tax exemptions from<br />
the state of Missouri to support the project.<br />
State officials say as much as $2.98 million<br />
in sales tax abatement for building materials<br />
may be available for the Amazon facility.<br />
But details concerning other incentives,<br />
particularly any local tax abatement for the<br />
Amazon facility, remain to be negotiated,<br />
city officials say. Some of those incentives<br />
could be substantial.<br />
The building of a 496,309-square-foot<br />
FedEx facility on 114 acres at the business<br />
park, approved earlier this year, prompted<br />
the city to offer a 10-year abatement of<br />
property taxes up to $5.84 million involving<br />
10 local taxing jurisdictions and the<br />
state of Missouri. That abatement was up to<br />
half of the property taxes that would have<br />
been due. Instead, the company will make<br />
payments-in-lieu-of-taxes [PILOTS]. But<br />
City Administrator Russ Batzel said the<br />
taxes on the existing property only amount<br />
to a few hundred dollars.<br />
“The good news for St. Peters keeps<br />
coming,” said Mayor Len Pagano at the<br />
board meeting before the adoption of the<br />
resolutions. Pagano and aldermen lauded<br />
the work of city officials, who have been<br />
discussing the center with Amazon officials<br />
for six months and were competing<br />
for the center with Louisville, Kentucky,<br />
among other cities.<br />
Pagano commended the teamwork of St.<br />
Charles County and other organizations,<br />
including Ameren, Duke Realty, the state<br />
of Missouri, Missouri Partnership and the<br />
St. Louis Regional Chamber, who worked<br />
together to attract Amazon. He also praised<br />
the city's “FasTrac” development process<br />
that he said has been key in speeding along<br />
economic development projects.<br />
“Folks, we’re not done yet and there’s<br />
more to come,” Pagano said. “It’s about<br />
jobs, jobs, jobs.”<br />
With the resolutions passed, construction<br />
may be close to getting underway. The<br />
city’s planning and zoning commission<br />
approved the site plan for the Amazon<br />
facility at its March 7 meeting, just hours<br />
after the center was announced. Duke and<br />
city officials say they want to have the<br />
Amazon facility finished and operational<br />
by May 2019.<br />
In revising comprehensive plan, Dardenne Prairie officials seek advice on retail trends<br />
By BRIAN FLINCHPAUGH<br />
Changes in development trends and the<br />
rise of internet shopping are having an<br />
impact on what communities throughout<br />
the country will look like in a few years.<br />
This is what a local property broker told<br />
the Dardenne Prairie Board of Aldermen at<br />
its March 7 meeting. Dardenne Prairie is in<br />
the midst of revising the city’s comprehensive<br />
plan that will serve as a roadmap for<br />
future development and city officials are<br />
seeking input on development trends.<br />
Debbie Haley, of Haley Properties,<br />
which deals in commercial and residential<br />
real estate in the county, provided input<br />
that suggests that previous assumptions<br />
about home development and local businesses<br />
is changing in ways that may impact<br />
cities’ comprehensive planning.<br />
“Everyone knows that retail has changed,<br />
Amazon has taken over a lot of ordering",<br />
Haley said. “That’s caused a lot of retail<br />
owners to think about what type of tenants<br />
they want. They’ve become concerned<br />
about any tenant that sells a product or<br />
anything that can be bought online.<br />
“They’re getting concerned about taking<br />
on those tenants, worried about what to<br />
do about some tenant finish or build out<br />
in their shopping centers and whether it’s<br />
worth it to expand or refinish retail space.”<br />
Haley said her company is looking for<br />
providers of services that can’t be purchased<br />
on the internet, such as doctors,<br />
beauticians and office spaces. "It’s starting<br />
to change the type of tenants coming into<br />
our shopping centers," she said.<br />
Tenants are looking at what will draw<br />
shoppers, particularly new, young shoppers,<br />
to commercial spaces, Haley said. They<br />
are asking her what to do with their properties.<br />
Her research suggests that tomorrow's<br />
retail stores will become "living, breathing,<br />
physical portals for brands or product<br />
experiences” and that Amazon has become<br />
“the new Sears catalog.”<br />
For an upcoming generation of shoppers,<br />
it’s not only about retail and shopping, it’s<br />
about “spilling over into where they want<br />
to live and what they want their community<br />
look like," Haley said.<br />
Having input from experts is important<br />
for the city because aldermen and Mayor<br />
David Zucker have questioned the previous<br />
direction of the city’s last comprehensive<br />
plan, saying it discouraged commercial<br />
and residential development. The Urban<br />
Zoning District, adopted in 2007, sought to<br />
encourage the development of a civic core,<br />
a mixed-use area that was seen as a downtown<br />
and included small retail stores, apartments<br />
and condominiums on small lots.<br />
Before embarking on a plan revision, the<br />
board adopted changes to the city’s Urban<br />
Zoning District that were included in the current<br />
comprehensive plan. City officials have<br />
said a new plan was needed to guide what<br />
they see as continued growth within the city.<br />
Among the questions being considered<br />
in the new plan are lot sizes and density of<br />
new residential developments, and how to<br />
encourage commercial and retail development<br />
to provide needed sales tax revenue<br />
to the city. Haley said the old models are<br />
changing – what’s evolving is something<br />
akin to the New Town development in St.<br />
Charles that tries to replicate a small town<br />
experience with a mix of shops, services<br />
and residential in a walkable community.<br />
For those county municipalities that still<br />
require a certain percentage of property to<br />
be set aside for commercial or retail development,<br />
Haley said the contraction of retail<br />
in the last few years is making things difficult.<br />
They may not be able to find a commercial<br />
or retail client to fill the space.<br />
A better answer for cities may be turning<br />
back to encouraging some form of residential<br />
development in order to collect some<br />
tax revenue rather than none. Much of the<br />
area zoned commercial in the county now<br />
may not be zoned correctly, Haley said.<br />
She added that obtaining a different<br />
zoning to allow some residential development,<br />
such as apartments and condominiums,<br />
remains difficult.<br />
A draft of the plan is scheduled for<br />
review in July followed by a public hearing<br />
in August.

By BRIAN FLINCHPAUGH<br />
Lake Saint Louis officials and residents<br />
may be moving toward a goal in the city’s<br />
recently approved comprehensive plan –<br />
improving communication between Lake<br />
Saint Louis residents who can use major<br />
recreational amenities such as the two<br />
community lakes and residents who can’t.<br />
The large recreational amenities, particularly<br />
the 650-acre main community lake,<br />
are private and managed by the Lake Saint<br />
Louis Community Association, a homeowners<br />
association.<br />
Homes that fall outside the association<br />
boundaries, which largely include the<br />
original community surrounding the two<br />
community lakes, can’t use the private<br />
amenities. The association includes about<br />
8,600 residents who pay annual dues to<br />
support the amenities. However, the city’s<br />
overall population has increased to nearly<br />
15,000 and more residents are moving into<br />
areas beyond the association's boundary<br />
lines as new single-family housing continues<br />
to be built.<br />
During the development of the city’s<br />
comprehensive plan, adopted by the city in<br />
December 2017 and developed as a guide to<br />
future city development, the planning committee<br />
heard about a disconnect between<br />
residents who are association members and<br />
those who are non-members. Some city<br />
residents were confused about the association’s<br />
role and the restrictions on the use of<br />
private amenities that they say lead to the<br />
perception of a general separation between<br />
those who live within association boundaries<br />
and those who don’t.<br />
The plan notes that this isn’t an easy<br />
topic to address. “There is a question of<br />
whether a comprehensive plan should even<br />
address this issue at all,” the plan notes.<br />
“However, there is much to be gained from<br />
improving community cohesion. By contrast,<br />
a community that focuses too much<br />
on its differences can have a difficult time<br />
coming together to reach its full potential.”<br />
Frank McLaughlin, chairman of the city’s<br />
image advisory committee, came before the<br />
city’s Board of Aldermen during a March 5<br />
work session to discuss how his committee<br />
could address improving an aspect of community<br />
cohesion. “A cohesive community,<br />
where all residents are identified as part<br />
of a single community,” is identified as<br />
a “core value” of the comprehensive plan.<br />
The image advisory committee works with<br />
improving the city’s branding.<br />
“The idea would be to unify all the communities<br />
within the city of Lake Saint<br />
Louis - CA [Community Association] and<br />
non-CA, so we're working together for<br />
@MIDRIVERSNEWS<br />
MIDRIVERSNEWSMAGAZINE.COM<br />
Lake Saint Louis may try to address<br />
‘disconnect’ among residents<br />
the mutual benefit of the city,” McLaughlin<br />
said. "The way we were thinking of<br />
approaching that was through the homeowners<br />
associations' leadership.”<br />
Many subdivisions in the city have individual<br />
associations that manage amenities<br />
within those subdivisions. McLaughlin<br />
suggested gathering association leaders'<br />
emails to begin communications, possibly<br />
leading to submitting a survey to them<br />
about questions residents have about the<br />
association.<br />
“A number of people don’t have perspectives<br />
on what the Community Association<br />
is,” McLaughlin said. "Eventually, there<br />
could be some kind of forum where homeowners<br />
association officers could meet to<br />
discuss the issue and review the history of<br />
the association and learn about it."<br />
Aldermen questioned some aspects of<br />
what McLaughlin suggested but didn’t<br />
strongly object. Alderman John Pellerito<br />
[Ward 3] said some of the subdivision<br />
homeowners associations' boards of directors<br />
are not active and don’t meet on a<br />
regular basis.<br />
Pellerito asked what the committee<br />
would do with the information it receives.<br />
McLaughlin said any recommendations<br />
from officers of the homeowners associations<br />
would go to the aldermen for action.<br />
He noted that residents had perceptions<br />
about the Lake Saint Louis Community<br />
Association’s relationship with the city.<br />
“I’m kind of hoping that the discussion<br />
will eliminate the perceptions,” he said.<br />
Alderman Karen Vennard [Ward 2] said<br />
the city and the committee have to be specific<br />
about the services the city provides,<br />
such as police, code enforcement, parks<br />
and courts.<br />
“I’m hoping that this doesn’t become a<br />
forum – and we’ve heard this before – where<br />
people are wanting the city to champion<br />
them to get them in the CA,” Vennard said.<br />
McLaughlin said it would be communicated<br />
up front that there are Community<br />
Association residents and non-Community<br />
Association residents and that may not<br />
change. “We're not all becoming one,” he<br />
said.<br />
Alderman Gary Torlina [Ward 3] noted<br />
that there are both image advisory committee<br />
members and aldermen who are active<br />
in the Community Association and who<br />
can respond to questions about the association,<br />
what it can provide and its history.<br />
McLaughlin said the committee’s efforts<br />
might develop an email communication<br />
mechanism that could help aldermen if<br />
they have to broadcast information widely,<br />
but he wasn’t sure about the need for regular<br />
meetings beyond an initial meeting.

NEWSMAGAZINE<br />
20<strong>18</strong> ST. LOUIS CARDINALS<br />
SEASON PREVIEW<br />
“Sometimes, you win. Sometimes, you lose. Sometimes, it rains.”<br />
– Ebby Calvin “Nuke” LaLoosh, from the classic baseball film “Bull Durham”<br />
It is with those words of existential<br />
wisdom that we kick off our 20<strong>18</strong> St.<br />
Louis Cardinals Baseball Preview. Let’s<br />
be honest with ourselves, Redbird Nation,<br />
sometimes it does not just rain, it pours.<br />
But fear not, hometown fans, all is not lost.<br />
The clouds are parting and the sun is<br />
peaking through. To keep this overlong<br />
analogy running, the “sun” in this instance<br />
goes by the name of Marcell Ozuna. Ozuna<br />
joins our Cardinals as the most significant<br />
offseason addition of any team in the major<br />
league, in our opinion. But that is not the<br />
only bright spot for the 20<strong>18</strong> Cardinals.<br />
While we did miss the playoffs last year,<br />
we identified two “new” players, who each<br />
ended last year as top five for their respective<br />
positions, notably Tommy Pham and<br />
Paul DeJong. Pitching phenom Anthony<br />
Reyes is set to return a month or so into<br />
the season, and a full year of Luke Weaver<br />
is a definite upgrade over Mike Leake.<br />
The Cardinals are built to be consistently<br />
competitive. We measure time in<br />
generations, not peaks and valleys. To put<br />
it another way, storms blow over pretty<br />
quickly around here.<br />
ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES<br />
Hey, does everybody remember when<br />
we were all so bummed out because Jason<br />
Heyward left town? If our editor would<br />
let us use emojis in our stories, we would<br />
insert the one where the bright yellow face<br />
laughs so hard it cries. Heyward went<br />
to Chicago and his offensive statistics<br />
drowned in Lake Michigan.<br />
This year’s version of Heyward seemingly<br />
comes in the form of Lance Lynn. He<br />
was a beloved Cardinal, mostly because<br />
of his bulldog-style of pitching and ability<br />
to eat innings like White Castle sliders.<br />
Where Lynn differs from Heyward,<br />
however, is that it doesn’t seem like the<br />
Redbirds wanted Lynn back at almost<br />
any price. While Lynn’s simple metrics of<br />
wins and earned run average looked great<br />
last year, his advanced metrics were concerning<br />
to say the least.<br />
Other ‘birds leaving the nest include Stephen<br />
Piscotty [traded to the Oakland A’s],<br />
Randall Grichuk [traded to the Toronto<br />
Blue Jays], Zach Duke, Seung Hwan Oh,<br />
Juan Nicasio and Trevor Rosenthal [all<br />
free agents]. There is more name recognition<br />
on that list than there is baseball<br />
importance, most likely. The only player<br />
that would have been very nice to hold<br />
on to was Juan Nicasio. There is no such<br />
thing as too many relief pitchers who can<br />
generate swings and misses.<br />
In regard to players added by the Cardinals,<br />
we already referenced that there was<br />
no more important addition than former<br />
Marlins outfielder Marcell Ozuna. Beyond<br />
the hard statistics, Ozuna provides the<br />
Cardinals with a very subjective element<br />
they lacked in their lineup last year: fear.<br />
While the Cardinals had a successful<br />
offensive team, there was no single player<br />
that opposing teams were necessarily afraid<br />
to pitch to. That element of fear trickles<br />
down and changes the way that every<br />
hitter is pitched to in the lineup. In the<br />
past, the Redbirds had Matt Holliday and<br />
Albert Pujols serving in that role. Despite<br />
the breakout performances from Pham and<br />
DeJong, and the strong power year from<br />
Fowler, there was not a single player in the<br />
2017 lineup that would dictate how another<br />
team would pitch. Ozuna gives that to the<br />
20<strong>18</strong> version of the Cardinals.<br />
Perhaps the most interesting addition of<br />
the offseason was starting pitcher Miles<br />
Mikolas. Mikolas was a massive success<br />
pitching in Japan and has electric stuff, but<br />
it remains to be seen how that stuff will<br />
translate to getting major league hitters<br />
out. Mikolas pitched in the big leagues<br />
before and, well, he ended up in Japan.<br />
Another key addition is presumptive<br />
closer Luke Gregerson. The Cardinals also<br />
added relievers Dominic Leone and Bud<br />
Norris, but it is Gregerson who is in line<br />
to become the next Cardinals closer. Gregerson<br />
is a veteran reliever who has had an<br />
up-and-down career, mostly serving as a<br />
setup man, but he has swing and miss stuff.<br />
This also is a good place to mention<br />
some critical additions to the Cardinals<br />
coaching staff. We certainly celebrate the<br />
return of “secret weapon” José Oquendo<br />
and the addition of fan favorite Wille<br />
McGee. Yet it is likely new pitching coach<br />
Mike Maddux who will have the greatest<br />
direct impact. Never mind. It always will<br />
be Oquendo who has the greatest impact,<br />
but Maddux has been a highly successful<br />
coach in the past and should be able to<br />
sculpt some of the Cardinals young pitchers<br />
into successful career superstars.<br />
KEY CONTRIBUTORS<br />
This is the part of the column where we<br />
talk about the contributions needed from<br />
some of the “old guys” on the Cardinals<br />
roster. Maybe we should say “veterans”<br />
instead? Yes, let’s use that.<br />
In order to have a successful 20<strong>18</strong>, the<br />
Cardinals need a big year from a few veterans.<br />
For the position players, the straws<br />
that stir the drink are Matt Carpenter and<br />
Yadier Molina. Carpenter had a down year<br />
last year, due largely to lingering injuries.<br />
This spring, he started with a troublesome<br />
back issue. If Carpenter is healthy and can<br />
return to his 2016 form, he can propel this<br />
team a long way.<br />
It seems every year we ask exactly how<br />
long Yadier Molina can keep producing<br />
at such an exceptionally high level. Mere<br />
mortal catchers eventually break down,<br />
but this is Yadi, not a mortal. While we<br />
hope he takes a few more days off this<br />
year [and lets his heir apparent Carson<br />
Kelly catch some games], we do not<br />
expect it. Rather, we fully expect Yadi to<br />
continue to be Yadi.<br />
On the pitching side, no Cardinal<br />
shoulders bear more responsibility than<br />
Adam Wainwright. He no longer is the<br />
best pitcher on the Cardinals staff, but<br />
he still is undeniably our “ace.” Just as<br />
Ozuna’s fear factor trickles through the<br />
rest of the lineup, Wainwright’s ability<br />
to get outs impacts the rest of the staff.<br />
There still is no Redbird pitcher we would<br />
rather see on the mound if we need to get<br />
a single out.<br />

Molina: ‘Three more years, three<br />
more chances’ to win a World Series<br />
By WARREN MAYES<br />
Yadier Molina knows there is no Fountain<br />
of Youth. Every ballplayer knows someday<br />
it must end, even for the great ones.<br />
Molina will turn 36 during the 20<strong>18</strong><br />
season. He plans to catch for the Redbirds<br />
through 2020 when his current contract<br />
ends. Then, he can ride off into the sunset.<br />
“Three more years,” he said before spring<br />
training began. “That’s it.”<br />
The three-year, $60 million contract,<br />
which begins with the upcoming season,<br />
will be the last one he ever signs. He looks<br />
like he’ll be worth the investment.<br />
The ageless backstop is coming off a<br />
2017 campaign in which he experienced a<br />
surprising resurgence in power, posting the<br />
second-highest home run total [<strong>18</strong>] of his<br />
career and his best since the 2012 season.<br />
Molina hit .273.<br />
He accompanied the long-ball haul with<br />
a career-best 82 RBIs and even swiped<br />
nine bases, equaling the second-highest<br />
total of his long major-league tenure in that<br />
category as well.<br />
Molina appears slated to catch another<br />
130 to 140 games in the coming season, the<br />
norm for his career. His offseason workout<br />
routine also has not changed and he doesn’t<br />
like taking questions about how many<br />
games he can play. In fact, he’s reluctant<br />
to comment other than to insist he won’t<br />
change his mind about retiring in 2020 and<br />
that he’d like to crown a 17-year major<br />
league career with another World Series<br />
championship – or two, or three.<br />
“I can’t wait to grab that trophy in<br />
November or October,” he said. “I can’t<br />
wait. Three more trophies. Three more<br />
chances.”<br />
Molina is happy to have José Oquendo<br />
back as a Cardinals coach.<br />
“I talk to Oquendo all the time. He’s<br />
like my brother and my dad,” Molina said.<br />
“He’s one of the best coaches I’ve ever had.<br />
“He is a secret weapon. We lose him for<br />
the last two years and we don’t make the<br />
playoffs. So hopefully with him on the<br />
bench and the work he puts in with the<br />
defense and the offense, we can get back<br />
in the playoffs. José, I mean, he likes to<br />
be everywhere. He talks to me during the<br />
game. He talks to the infield. He talks to<br />
the outfield. It’s going to be an advantage<br />
for us. We’ll have an advantage with José.<br />
He knows what he’s doing.”<br />
It’s been rare for a standout player to<br />
spend his entire career with the club. Of<br />
the 11 players and managers to have their<br />
numbers retired by the team, only Stan<br />
Musial and Bob Gibson played for the Cardinals<br />
from beginning to end.<br />
Molina says he plans to spend three more<br />
years behind the plate for the Cardinals.<br />
[Lou Countryman photo]<br />
It might not have happened for Molina,<br />
who had a one-year, $15 million mutual<br />
option for 20<strong>18</strong> built into his previous<br />
contract. After representing Puerto Rico in<br />
last year’s World Baseball Classic, Molina<br />
made it clear that not only would he not<br />
exercise the option, he was not afraid of<br />
free agency.<br />
But on the eve of Opening Day, word<br />
broke that Molina and the Cardinals would<br />
be paired through the 2020 season.<br />
Molina’s contract delays playing opportunity<br />
for Carson Kelly, 23, the organization’s<br />
second-rated prospect and No. 32<br />
overall according to Baseball America.<br />
He’s appeared in 44 games over the last<br />
two seasons and is expected to start the<br />
season as Molina’s backup.<br />
Kelly, who moved to St. Louis during<br />
the offseason, said he can bide his time for<br />
now. He is not concerned about having to<br />
wait for Molina to retire.<br />
“It’s just being ready when the opportunity<br />
presents itself,” Kelly said of his role<br />
for 20<strong>18</strong>. “Who knows what’s going to<br />
happen in the future? We can plan all we<br />
want, but we never know what’s going to<br />
happen until it actually happens.”<br />
The organization also has talented catcher<br />
Andrew Knizner waiting in the wings.<br />
Molina is an eight-time National League<br />
All-Star who won seven consecutive Gold<br />
Glove Awards between 2008 and 2015. He<br />
joined the Cardinals in time for its 2004<br />
National League pennant run and replaced<br />
current manager Mike Matheny as the<br />
team’s everyday catcher.<br />
“I realize I’m playing for one of the best<br />
catchers in baseball history,” Cardinals<br />
starting pitcher Adam Wainwright said at<br />
the 60th annual Baseball Writers of America<br />
St. Louis dinner. “I truly believe I throw<br />
every day to the best catcher the game has<br />
ever seen.”

“More Splash, Less Cash” Since 1981<br />
The St. Louis Cardinals shook up their<br />
coaching staff after back-to-back years<br />
of not reaching the postseason. The hope<br />
is that St. Louis has re-energized its staff<br />
by adding two ex-Cardinals players and a<br />
well-respected pitching coach for 20<strong>18</strong>.<br />
Manager Mike Matheny recognized the<br />
need for changes after an 83-win season.<br />
“We need to be growing,” Matheny said.<br />
“We need to be constantly searching for<br />
excellence, and I think as you bring in<br />
great people, you create an atmosphere<br />
where that’s more likely to happen.”<br />
José Oquendo is the new third base<br />
coach. Willie McGee will serve in a<br />
myriad of roles. Mike Maddux is the new<br />
pitching coach and former third base coach<br />
Mike Shildt is the new bench coach. Bryan<br />
Eversgerd, the Cardinals Triple-A pitching<br />
coach, has been promoted to bullpen coach.<br />
“We feel that by bringing in the experience,<br />
past successes and baseball savvy<br />
these three gentlemen [Oquendo, McGee<br />
and Maddux] possess our major league<br />
coaching staff will be a strong benefit<br />
to our ballclub,” Cardinals President of<br />
Baseball Operations John Mozeliak said.<br />
“Whether it’s coaching, teaching, game<br />
analysis, game planning, these three men<br />
bring a wealth of knowledge and experience<br />
to our team.”<br />
Oquendo, 54, who had stepped aside as<br />
the team’s third base coach just prior to the<br />
2016 season due to health reasons, returns<br />
to the major league staff after serving as<br />
special assistant to the general manager in<br />
2017.<br />
Oquendo spent 16 seasons as the Cardinals<br />
third base coach [2000-15] and<br />
was the team’s major league bench coach<br />
in 1999 after spending the 1997 and 1998<br />
seasons working in the farm system for<br />
St. Louis. The “secret weapon” enjoyed a<br />
17-year professional playing career, including<br />
stints in the majors with the New York<br />
Mets [1983-84] and St. Louis Cardinals<br />
[1986-1995]. He was voted as the top utility<br />
man on the All-Busch Stadium II team<br />
in 2005.<br />
A native of Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico,<br />
Oquendo served as manager for Puerto<br />
Rico in both the 2006 and 2009 World<br />
Baseball Classics and for the World Team<br />
in the 2009 MLB Futures Game.<br />
Oquendo, who has had two operations<br />
on his left knee and both micro-fracture<br />
surgery and a replacement procedure<br />
on his right, said he came back largely<br />
because Mozeliak and Matheny asked him<br />
to return. He said it was an easy decision.<br />
“I really missed being out there [at third<br />
base],” Oquendo said, noting that he wants<br />
Oquendo<br />
[Lou Countryman photo]<br />
to “see if we can win some games and get<br />
back in the playoffs.”<br />
McGee, 59, joins the major league<br />
coaching staff for the first time, having<br />
spent the 2013-17 seasons serving as a special<br />
assistant to the general manager.<br />
A member of the St. Louis Cardinals<br />
Hall of Fame, McGee enjoyed a banner<br />
career that included National League<br />
MVP honors in 1985, two league batting<br />
titles [1985 and 1990], four All-Star Game<br />
selections [1983, 1985, 1987 and 1988]<br />
and three Rawlings Gold Glove awards<br />
[1983, 1985 and 1986].<br />
After breaking onto the scene in a big<br />
way during the Cardinals World Series win<br />
in 1982, the switch-hitting McGee went on<br />
to spend <strong>18</strong> years in the majors with the<br />
Cardinals [1982-90 and 1996-99], Oakland<br />
A’s [1990], San Francisco Giants [1991-<br />
94] and Boston Red Sox [1995], accumulating<br />
2,254 hits, 352 stolen bases and a<br />
.295 career batting mark.<br />
“If you’ve held Willie McGee on a high<br />
pedestal, I’ll tell you that you haven’t built<br />
it high enough,” Matheny said. “He’s such<br />
a sneaky teacher. He’ll tell you something,<br />
and it has so much wisdom to it. He doesn’t<br />
waste words. He doesn’t waste people’s<br />
time.”<br />
McGee will be away from his eight<br />
grandchildren this summer, but his<br />
15-year-old son and his wife of more than<br />
30 years, Vivian, will spend time with him<br />
in St. Louis this summer. He said he’s glad<br />

The “W” boys – Michael Wacha and Luke<br />
Weaver – will be key figures in the pitching<br />
staff this season for the St. Louis Cardinals.<br />
The 6-foot-6, <strong>21</strong>5-pound Wacha, 26,<br />
enters this season as the Cardinals No. 2<br />
starter. Last season, he went<br />
12-9 with a 4.13 ERA. He threw<br />
165 2/3 innings, his most since he<br />
threw <strong>18</strong>1 1/3 in 2015.<br />
“I was confident going into last<br />
season,” Wacha said. “I had a full<br />
season where I felt strong and made<br />
all my starts. That adds to the confidence<br />
going into this season. I can’t<br />
ask for much more. I’ve been getting<br />
a lot of good workouts in. I’m<br />
ready for 20<strong>18</strong>.”<br />
The key for Wacha was, and is,<br />
remaining healthy.<br />
“My goals for this season are to<br />
Wacha<br />
Weaver<br />
be healthy again and make as many starts<br />
as I can,” Wacha said. He would like to be<br />
a pitcher who can go deep into games. If he<br />
can do that, he can reach 200 innings in a<br />
season. But Wacha is not going to put any<br />
numbers out there for himself.<br />
“I’m trying to go out there and go as long<br />
as I can,” Wacha said. “I’m just trying to<br />
do the best I can and make all the starts I<br />
can and go as deep into a game as I can and<br />
be as effective as possible. Try not to wear<br />
out the bullpen too much.”<br />
He said there are several ways to be able<br />
to pitch seven or eight innings or even have<br />
a complete game. “Attacking the strike<br />
zone more often, getting early outs, there’s<br />
a lot of different ways to go deeper into a<br />
game. It’s a tough job. I’m working on it.”<br />
The same goes for Weaver. He would<br />
like to log more innings.<br />
Weaver, 24, went 7-2 as a rookie in 2017<br />
and impressed many with his ability. He<br />
posted a 3.88 ERA and 72/17 K/BB ratio<br />
MIDRIVERSNEWSMAGAZINE.COM<br />
Brought to you by the letter ‘W’ –<br />
Wacha, Weaver and wins<br />
in 60 1/3 innings over 10 starts and three<br />
relief appearances in the majors last season.<br />
“Yeah, there’s a lot to build off that,”<br />
Weaver said. “Even in the bad outings, just<br />
knowing how to take that after some good<br />
ones and just jumping back on that horse<br />
and keep going. There’s a lot to learn from<br />
last year.”<br />
There’s going to be more of<br />
Weaver to like this season, too. He<br />
went into spring training weighing<br />
<strong>18</strong>4 pounds.<br />
“The coaches wanted me to put<br />
on some pounds,” Weaver said.<br />
“It doesn’t come very easy for me<br />
[but] I’ve been able to gain 10 to<br />
15 pounds. Hopefully, that will<br />
add some durability and some<br />
endurance. Who knows? I feel<br />
like I’m in the best shape ever.<br />
I’m stronger and quicker. As a<br />
whole, I’m excited.”<br />
Gaining weight can be tough for a slim<br />
person. Weaver sought help to achieve his<br />
goal. Now, he’s in the weight room trying<br />
to stay strong.<br />
He has never thrown more than 138<br />
innings in a season before, but he’ll be<br />
facing some big expectations in his first<br />
full season in the Cardinals rotation. But<br />
his expectations are the same. “I don’t ever<br />
want to get complacent,” Weaver said. “I<br />
just want to go in with a lot of confidence<br />
and know I still have to make an impact<br />
on the coaches and let them know they’ve<br />
made a good choice to have me in there.”<br />
Wacha wants to put all he has learned<br />
into the upcoming season.<br />
“The knowledge of the game and my<br />
repertoire, I would definitely say I’m a<br />
better pitcher now,” Wacha said. “I know<br />
more about the game. I know more about<br />
hitters’ tendencies. I have so much more<br />
knowledge. I’d definitely say I’m a better<br />
pitcher now.”<br />

Organize your cherished memories!<br />
Let Memvio preserve them through stunning, custom-made scrapbooks!<br />
With photos and videos primarily captured on cell<br />
phones these days, rarely developed and often forgotten<br />
about, it’s possible we are becoming a “lost generation”<br />
– a generation whose photo and video memories won’t<br />
be passed on. The lack of printed photographs could<br />
prove to be devastating to the chronicling of our lives.<br />
Memvio is here to help.<br />
Preserving treasured memories<br />
Shari Nelson’s full-service scrapbooking, picture<br />
video and digitization business, Memvio, is the only<br />
service of its kind in the area. Designed for “the busy<br />
person,” Memvio preserves precious memories that are<br />
otherwise becoming lost, forgotten, damaged or dated.<br />
Memvio’s services include hand-crafted scrapbooks,<br />
personalized with hand-made embellishments that can’t<br />
be found at a craft store; digital scrapbooks, each with its<br />
own original layout that doesn’t come from a template;<br />
amazing and unique picture video montages, paired<br />
with perfectly chosen music; conversions of any format<br />
of old film, audio or video to DVD or Blu Ray; and<br />
refurbishment of damaged photos, slides or negatives.<br />
Memvio is the answer for that hard-to-shop-for,<br />
very special person in your life. Its services are good<br />
for all occasions: weddings, wedding anniversaries,<br />
memorials, births, birthdays,<br />
graduations, special occasions,<br />
life’s accomplishments ... the list<br />
goes on.<br />
“I feel that Memvio brings<br />
an opportunity for our clients to<br />
never be forgotten and, through<br />
photos, live on from generation<br />
to generation,” Shari, who began<br />
scrapbooking 32 years ago, said. “Scrapbooking at that<br />
time was my hobby, my ‘me’ time. Once I got my five<br />
kiddos to bed and had some quiet time, I would sit down<br />
in my basement studio and become totally immersed<br />
going down memory lane. Often, before I knew it, the<br />
sun was coming up.”<br />
Shari’s children’s scrapbooks have become treasures<br />
shared, laughed and smiled over with friends, family<br />
and significant others. Shari’s creative talents began to<br />
gain notoriety and, eventually, she realized her clientele<br />
often consisted of the busy working parent that had the<br />
desire to enjoy their family photos, but no time to make<br />
it happen.<br />
“I received so many requests to scrapbook and create<br />
photo montages that my hobby grew into a full-time<br />
job,” Shari said.<br />
From basement to brick-and-mortar<br />
Shari’s business grew so large that she opened her<br />
own store, located in Ballwin, in 2017.<br />
One of Memvio’s most popular services, the Baby-<br />
To-Grad program, documents a child’s life through<br />
scrapbooks from the moment they are born until their<br />
IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR<br />
WEDDINGS - BABIES - GRADUATIONS<br />
<strong>18</strong>th birthday. Shari believes there is no better gift you<br />
could give your child.<br />
“I challenge myself and my entire Memvio creative<br />
team to create every Memvio project as perfect and<br />
unique as possible,” Shari said.<br />
Each customer is carefully matched with a designer,<br />
who then interviews the client so the project can be<br />
exactly tailored to their desires. The designers work<br />
closely with the client, letting them be as involved with<br />
or removed from the process as they wish. Clients can<br />
be sent sample pages for approval, making sure they are<br />
100-percent happy before moving forward, or choose to<br />
be surprised.<br />
“We have yet to have a customer who was not thrilled<br />
with their product,” Shari noted.<br />
Available for purchase [included with larger albums]<br />

Roofing, Siding, Gutters & Tuckpointing<br />
By WARREN MAYES<br />
If there’s one baseball topic guaranteed<br />
to start a good back-and-forth among Cardinals<br />
fans, it’s where first baseman Matt<br />
Carpenter should bat in the lineup.<br />
Carpenter likes hitting leadoff. But he<br />
doesn’t decide the lineup. That’s Mike<br />
Matheny’s job and Carpenter takes it all in<br />
stride.<br />
“Wherever Mike tells me to,” Carpenter<br />
said about where he will hit this season.<br />
“That’s something I’ve said 1,000 times<br />
and people still don’t believe me. They<br />
know I’m knocking on Mike’s door every<br />
day begging to hit leadoff. I’m just not. I<br />
end up there every year because that’s kind<br />
of how the chips fall.<br />
“I think, and I’ve had long conversations<br />
with Mike this offseason about this,<br />
this year more than ever that we have a<br />
lot of guys who can do that [lead off] and<br />
do it well. Between Dexter [Fowler] and<br />
Tommy [Pham] and event Kolten [Wong],<br />
there’s more than enough guys for that<br />
position. I think maybe you’ll see a new<br />
face there. Time will tell. I’ll do whatever<br />
is asked of me.”<br />
This spring, Carpenter has been battling<br />
back tightness. Last year, the threetime<br />
All-Star also suffered from back and<br />
oblique soreness. Matheny said he believes<br />
Carpenter’s preseason injuries can be<br />
attributed to his tenacious spring regimen.<br />
“This is like Disney World for a baseball<br />
rat – spring training,” Matheny said, “You<br />
come down, you can work all you want,<br />
the sun is shining, you use these beautiful<br />
facilities, you’ve got every single coach<br />
and every trainer at your disposal.”<br />
At least the injury will force Carpenter to<br />
get some rest. Matheny said that might help<br />
stave off fatigue later in the season. “This<br />
could be one of those blessings in disguise,”<br />
he said.<br />
A career .277 hitter, Carpenter experienced<br />
a dip last year when he hit .241 with<br />
23 homers and 69 RBIs. Shoulder issues<br />
derailed the second half of Carpenter’s<br />
2017 campaign. Thankfully, they didn’t<br />
require offseason surgery.<br />
This year, he’s looking for better things but<br />
said he doesn’t think he hits better at leadoff.<br />
“There [are] natural flows in the season.<br />
You go up. You go down. You have highs.<br />
You have lows. A lot of that is circumstantial.<br />
So I don’t buy the whole ‘I can’t hit as<br />
well in other positions’ talk that comes up,”<br />
Carpenter said. “I just don’t think I’ve had<br />
enough opportunity in those other spots to<br />
be able to give a good explanation for it.<br />
Going forward, I’m excited to have that<br />
chance and we’ll see how it plays out.”<br />

Carpenter predicts he may not<br />
leadoff in talent-packed lineup<br />
Matt Carpenter<br />
[Lou Countryman photo]<br />
He said he takes pride in his ability to<br />
draw walks. That means he’s on base as a<br />
potential RBI for someone.<br />
“Really, when you have the ability to get on<br />
base, you put pressure on the opposing pitching<br />
staff,” Carpenter said. “We’ve got three<br />
guys and, however it falls, we can get on base<br />
really well. It will put pressure on pitching<br />
staffs to throw strikes, not to walk us.<br />
“When they worry about walking guys,<br />
they leave balls over the middle and you<br />
can clean up on that.”<br />
That good lineup could help propel the<br />
Cardinals back into the postseason.<br />
“The St. Louis Cardinals are expected to<br />
be in the playoffs,” Capenter said. “With<br />
the way our division is, I wouldn’t imagine<br />
for a second our organization would stand<br />
pat and not make efforts to get up back in<br />
the playoffs.”<br />
At 32, Carpenter is one of the “old” guys<br />
on the team. He doesn’t mind at all.<br />
“Yeah, my wife and I were looking at the<br />
roster and I’m one of the old guys now,”<br />
Carpenter said. “I feel like I just got here.<br />
That’s the way the game is now. Time flies<br />
as we all know. It’s fun to have these young<br />
players who bring so much excitement.”<br />
That excitement only gets sweeter in<br />
October.<br />
“Look, every year we go into the spring<br />
with the thought of winning a World Series.<br />
For two straight years, we’ve been short of<br />
getting into postseason,” Carpenter said.<br />
“We’ve got a lot of guys used to playing<br />
deep into October so that hunger is driving<br />
us this year. There’s a lot of new faces who<br />
haven’t experienced a lot of the postseason<br />
some of us have.<br />
“There’s enough guys like myself, and<br />
Adam [Wainwright] and Yadi [Molina]<br />
who are pushing these guys to perform and<br />
compete and, hopefully, that group will<br />
start heading to where we want to go – and<br />
that’s October.”

COACHING STAFF, from page <strong>18</strong><br />
to be a coach for the Cardinals.<br />
“It’s always been in me as a ‘giver,’”<br />
McGee said. “I’ve got all this experience<br />
baseball-wise and life-wise in me to give<br />
back. They can call me at 8 o’clock at night<br />
and I can try to get a key to get down here<br />
[to the Cardinals facility] and help them<br />
do what they want to do to be better as a<br />
baseball player.”<br />
Maddux, 56, most recently was with<br />
the Washington Nationals, where he held<br />
the same position for the past two seasons.<br />
Over the past 15 seasons, he also served<br />
as pitching coach of the Texas Rangers and<br />
Milwaukee Brewers.<br />
Prior to moving into a coaching role,<br />
Maddux, the older brother of Hall of Fame<br />
pitcher Greg Maddux, pitched 15 years in<br />
the majors with nine organizations.<br />
With the Nationals, Maddux guided the<br />
pitching staff to a 3.69 ERA during his<br />
two seasons – fourth-best in the majors<br />
over that span – while the starters’ ERA<br />
was 3.61, which ranked second only to the<br />
Cubs. With 2016 Cy Young Award winner<br />
and Parkway Central graduate Max Scherzer,<br />
Stephen Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez<br />
in the rotation, the Nationals averaged 9.08<br />
strikeouts per nine innings under Maddux’s<br />
watch.<br />
Mozeliak said hiring Maddux was an<br />
easy choice. “He always seems to get<br />
the most out of his pitchers. It was a nobrainer,”<br />
Mozeliak said.<br />
Maddux replaced Derek Lilliquist,<br />
whose contract with the Cardinals was<br />
not renewed after St. Louis failed to make<br />
the postseason for the second consecutive<br />
season – the first time that has happened<br />
since 2007-08.<br />
Maddux said he is glad to be with the<br />
organization.<br />
“I was flattered when they reached out,”<br />
Maddux said. “I’ve always looked at the<br />
Cardinals as the Yankees of the National<br />
League. They were always the team everyone<br />
wanted to beat because they were<br />
always beating everybody else.”<br />
Shildt, 48, who has been a member of the<br />
Cardinals organization since 2004, spent<br />
last season serving as the team’s quality<br />
control coach and third base coach.<br />
Shildt, who managed for eight seasons<br />
in the Cardinals farm system at Memphis<br />
[2015-16], Springfield [2012-14] and<br />
Johnson City [2009-2011], was voted<br />
the recipient of the highly distinguished<br />
George Kissell Award in 2010, which<br />
honors excellence in player development.<br />
Eversgerd, 48, spent the past five seasons<br />
as pitching coach for Triple-A Memphis<br />
following stints with Double-A Springfield<br />
[2008-09 and 2011-12] and several Class<br />
A affiliates.<br />

Quilts of Valor honors veteran thought to be oldest living WAC<br />
I 27<br />
By ELLEN LAMPE<br />
Ask 104-year-old Weldon Spring resident<br />
Elaine Ooley her thoughts on life and she’ll<br />
tell you, “Just like the wind, it goes by fast.”<br />
Though it may go by fast, Elaine’s<br />
life has been full – and full of memories,<br />
including special recognition as a hero.<br />
Elaine was born Jan. 27, 1914, on a<br />
snowy day in Two Harbors, Minnesota. Her<br />
father’s job as a railroad worker caused the<br />
family to move frequently but they eventually<br />
settled in Mattoon, Illinois.<br />
In the first years of her life, the United<br />
States was rocked by the start of World<br />
War I and the Flu Pandemic of 19<strong>18</strong>. Her<br />
parents and sister grew ill from the flu; her<br />
best friend died. Even the family doctor<br />
died. But 4-year-old Elaine managed to<br />
remain healthy and learned how to prepare<br />
meals for her sick family.<br />
“That flu ... It was the talk of the town,”<br />
Elaine said. It was one of her earliest memories,<br />
but she has so many more.<br />
“I remember the flapper stage. Women<br />
started cutting their hair and wearing short<br />
dresses. Of course, I wanted to be one too,”<br />
Elaine said. “I was only about 12, but I still<br />
wanted to learn to dance and do all that good<br />
stuff. Well, my mother didn’t go for that one.”<br />
She graduated high school in 1932, at<br />
the height of the Great Depression. With no<br />
money for college, Elaine found employment<br />
sewing tongues onto the vamps of<br />
shoes for 10 cents a vamp.<br />
“Sometimes I could make a dollar, a<br />
couple bucks ... I got pretty fast at it,”<br />
Elaine said.<br />
Eventually, Elaine was able to attend one<br />
year of college before returning home to<br />
take care of her ailing parents. Then, came<br />
Dec. 7, 1941.<br />
Elaine’s boyfriend at the time, an officer<br />
in the military who later would become<br />
her husband, survived the Pearl Harbor<br />
attack. Elaine said everyone stepped up to<br />
do something.<br />
In November 1942, she followed her<br />
sister into the Women’s Army Corps. She<br />
joined as a stenographer, then went on to<br />
serve as a personnel administrator specialist<br />
and aircraft dispatcher at Kirtland Air<br />
Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico.<br />
She served until the end of the war.<br />
Elaine, a widow who never had children,<br />
is a self-described “people person”<br />
who devoted her life to volunteering and<br />
making relationships in the community.<br />
“I like to be around people and I like<br />
being active. I’ve never really stopped,”<br />
Elaine Ooley<br />
she said. “I’ve belonged to the American<br />
Legion for around 40 years and I’ve been<br />
very active at the St. Louis Veterans Home.<br />
I’d say that probably the most important<br />
thing I’ve done is volunteer.”<br />
She never considered herself a hero –<br />
that is, until January, when she was presented<br />
with a once-in-a-lifetime gift.<br />
“It is with great pride and admiration<br />
that we present this quilt to you … every<br />
stitch, every seam, each piece cut and sewn<br />
together – all made with love and gratitude<br />
for what you have done,” a letter to Elaine<br />
from Piecemakers Heritage Quilters read.<br />
Linda Kuennen, of Piecemakers Heritage<br />
Quilters, a branch of the national Quilts of<br />
Valor Foundation, caught wind of Elaine’s<br />
story through a mutual friend. “I thought,<br />
‘Wow, she has got to be the oldest living<br />
WAC. We have to do something special for<br />
her and her service. What an honor it is to<br />
still have her around.’”<br />
Kuennen shared Elaine’s story with her<br />
fellow quilters, who decided Elaine would<br />
be the recipient of their next Quilt of Valor.<br />
“[Linda] called me and said, ‘We are<br />
going to present you with a quilt. A quilt for<br />
heroes.’ I was just overwhelmed and humbled,”<br />
Elaine said. “I knew about the Quilts<br />
of Valor but I’ve never been approached.<br />
It’s quite an organization and the quilt is<br />
gorgeous. It’s a museum-type quilt.”<br />
Quilts of Valor are presented as a symbol<br />
of comfort and peace to select veterans<br />
across the country who have been touched<br />
by the effects of war. They include personalized<br />
details down to each stitch, with a<br />
beautiful patch detailing the recipient’s<br />
information and history.<br />
Receiving the quilt has helped Elaine<br />
reconnect with people from the past.<br />
“I had three men come to the door and<br />
they said, ‘Elaine, do you remember us?’<br />
They were longtime friends of mine as a<br />
young kid.”<br />

Consulting a rheumatologist will become more difficult for Americans in the<br />
coming years as a shortage of doctors practicing in that specialty worsens.<br />
health<br />

By LISA RUSSELL<br />
National Kidney Month focuses<br />
on body’s ‘unsung heroes’<br />
Most people probably don’t give much<br />
thought to their kidneys on a day-to-day<br />
basis. Yet these essential organs always are<br />
hard at work, filtering the body’s waste and<br />
helping to control basic functions like blood<br />
pressure and red blood cell production.<br />
Statistics show that 1 in 3 American<br />
adults currently is at high risk for developing<br />
kidney disease. Because kidney<br />
damage can occur without physical symptoms,<br />
many people currently have some<br />
stage of kidney disease, but don’t know it.<br />
Risk factors include high blood pressure,<br />
diabetes, a family history of kidney failure<br />
and being over the age of 60.<br />
During the month of March, designated<br />
as National Kidney Month, the National<br />
Kidney Foundation urges adults to “Take 5<br />
for Your Kidneys,” and has provided a list<br />
of five simple steps Americans can take to<br />
protect their kidney health:<br />
1. Get routine tests. Get an ACR urine<br />
test or a GFR blood test annually. These<br />
kidney function tests are especially important<br />
for those who have diabetes, high<br />
blood pressure, are over age 60 or have a<br />
family history of kidney disease.<br />
2. Minimize NSAID use. Regular use<br />
of over-the-counter pain medicines, such<br />
as aspirin, ibuprofen and other NSAIDs<br />
[nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs],<br />
can harm the kidneys, especially for those<br />
with existing kidney disease. Reduce use of<br />
NSAIDs if possible, and never exceed the<br />
recommended dosage.<br />
3. Cut the processed foods. Processed<br />
meats, cheeses, snacks and other processed<br />
foods can be significant sources of sodium,<br />
nitrates and phosphates, all of which are<br />
linked to kidney disease.<br />
4. Exercise regularly. Consistent exercise<br />
benefits the entire body, including<br />
the kidneys. Getting active for at least 30<br />
minutes a day also can help control blood<br />
pressure and lower blood sugar, both vital<br />
to kidney health.<br />
5. Control blood pressure and diabetes.<br />
These two conditions are the leading<br />
causes of kidney disease and kidney failure.<br />
Managing high blood pressure and<br />
controlling blood sugar levels can slow<br />
the progression of kidney disease, so both<br />
are essential to maintaining good kidney<br />
health.<br />
Shortage of rheumatologists<br />
looms in the U.S.<br />
Americans’ demand for doctors and other<br />
medical professionals who specialize in<br />
treating conditions like osteoarthritis, gout,<br />
rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, vasculitis and<br />
other autoimmune diseases will soon greatly<br />
exceed the available supply of these professionals.<br />
Two recent analyses, one published<br />
in Arthritis & Rheumatology and the other<br />
in Arthritis Care & Research, noted that<br />
the need for rheumatologists has begun to<br />
rapidly overtake the projected growth of the<br />
workforce. Putting this coming doctor shortage<br />
in terms of numbers, there will be an<br />
estimated 4,133 fewer rheumatologists than<br />
needed in the U.S. by 2030.<br />
According to the American College<br />
of Rheumatology, 50 percent of current<br />
specialists in the field – many of whom<br />
are aging baby boomers – are expected to<br />
retire over the next 15 years. As many as<br />
80 percent of those doctors plan to reduce<br />
their patient loads to a part-time level for<br />
a number of years before leaving their<br />
practices, which will strain resources even<br />
further. Pediatric rheumatologists are especially<br />
scarce: There currently are fewer<br />
than 300 of these specialists practicing in<br />
the U.S.<br />
At the same time, an aging population<br />
is projected to drive up demand for rheumatology<br />
services by about 138 percent<br />
by 2030. And although the analyses stated<br />
that there have been recent increases in<br />
The BJC Scholars Fund, a scholarship<br />
opportunity for area high school seniors<br />
who plan to pursue a two- or four-year<br />
degree in any field of study, currently is<br />
open for applications. This is the second<br />
year BJC has offered the need-based<br />
program, which will award scholarships<br />
to up to 14 students living in Missouri<br />
and Illinois communities served by BJC<br />
hospitals.<br />
Each scholarship provides $10,000 per<br />
academic year at a public Missouri or<br />
Illinois state college or university, or at<br />
a public university in another state that<br />
offers in-state tuition reciprocity. Applications<br />
will be accepted through April<br />
16, and the scholarships are renewable<br />
through graduation or for a maximum of<br />
10 semesters.<br />
the number of rheumatology fellowship<br />
programs along with the number of doctors<br />
being trained in those programs, even<br />
a doubling of that number would not meet<br />
the projected rheumatology workforce<br />
needs in 2030.<br />

BEHIND THE WHEEL<br />
When it comes to buying a car, it pays<br />
to do your research<br />
Buying a car is the second biggest single<br />
purchase most individuals make, right after<br />
buying a house.<br />
So it deserves a little thought. Actually, it<br />
deserves a lot of thought, as in:<br />
• What can I afford? Don’t forget to consider<br />
add-ons like supplemental warranties<br />
and insurance [there’s even insurance on<br />
those expensive key fobs these days]. The<br />
list can get a little lengthy and a bit overwhelming<br />
if you’re not prepared. The internet<br />
can be your best friend in researching<br />
many of the upfront costs associated with a<br />
new car purchase. So is talking with your<br />
financial institution. Getting pre-approved<br />
for a car loan will not hurt your credit rating<br />
and can put you in a better negotiating position<br />
on the car lot. Plus, it will help you<br />
exercise restraint when faced with “bells<br />
and whistles” you might not be able to reasonably<br />
afford.<br />
• What features do I want? Remember,<br />
you want to buy a car that fits your lifestyle<br />
today and will continue to fit your lifestyle<br />
five years from now. Yes, five years. In other<br />
words, if your 12-month goal is to have a<br />
baby, buying a sleek little coupé probably<br />
isn’t the right choice, but a fun-loving<br />
SUV might be. In regard to accessories and<br />
upgrades, do a little soul-searching. A little<br />
luxury is fun, but if you’re rarely going to<br />
use a feature [after showing it off to your<br />
friends, of course] don’t invest in it. It’s far<br />
better to spend your money under the hood.<br />
• What do I know about what’s under<br />
the hood? Got a trusted mechanic you can<br />
ask about the best and worst cars on the road?<br />
If so, ask them what they would choose<br />
if selecting a new car. If you don’t have a<br />
trusted mechanic, get one. In the absence of<br />
a trusted advisor, you can turn to the internet<br />
for guidance. Kelley Blue Book, found online<br />
at kbb.com, long has been a trusted source<br />
for car reviews and comparisons. One caveat,<br />
the website will ask for your ZIP code so<br />
they can serve you “local deals.” Consumer<br />
Reports [consumerreports.org], another longtrusted<br />
name, does not.<br />
• Do I want to buy or lease? Both options<br />
have merit and at a glance those options<br />
seem simple enough. Leasing allows you to<br />
get more car for the money. Lease customers<br />
typically have lower monthly costs since<br />
they’re paying only for the depreciation that<br />
occurs over the term of the lease agreement<br />
and not the total cost of the car. But at the end<br />
of the lease, the car isn’t yours. You’ll have<br />
no equity to show for your months or years<br />
of payments, and you’ll have<br />
nothing to use as a trade-in on<br />
your next vehicle. In fact, excess<br />
mileage [leases have mileage<br />
limits] and vehicle damage could<br />
leave you in a financial hole. Car<br />
dealerships have experts that can<br />
sit down and explain the pros<br />
and cons of both options. Checking<br />
out a trusted source, such as<br />
Consumer Reports, also can be<br />
helpful.<br />
Bottom line: Do your research.<br />
Ask questions. Talk to the people<br />
who sell and service the model<br />
of car or cars you are considering.<br />
Then, enjoy the ride.<br />

ST. CHARLES COMMUNITY<br />
COLLEGE DISTRICT<br />
Board of Trustees<br />
William R. Pundmann*<br />
My goals as a trustee of St. Charles<br />
Community College are to assure that a<br />
quality education is affordable and accessible<br />
for area students. I believe that a<br />
quality education is one that results from<br />
a curriculum focusing on the needs of the<br />
individual as they prepare to enter the<br />
workforce, providing skill levels to match<br />
the needs of the local work environment or<br />
to pursue advanced educational goals with<br />
an emphasis on problem-solving throughout<br />
the student’s educational program. It<br />
is imperative to gain support and effective<br />
community involvement in promoting the<br />
goals and objectives of the college.<br />
Arnie C. AC Dienoff<br />
Peggy Sherwin<br />
Jean Poggemeier Ehlmann*<br />
My top three priorities as a trustee of St.<br />
Charles Community College are expanding<br />
our career-technical programs at our<br />
new campus in Dardenne Prairie, making<br />
classes more accessible and available, and<br />
keeping costs reasonable.<br />

Board of Education<br />
Tommy George Jr.*<br />
Arnie C. AC Dienoff<br />
Michael MacCormack*<br />
I am running for re-election to the Fort<br />
Zumwalt Board of Education because I<br />
have three daughters that have graduated<br />
from the district and they have been very<br />
successful. I feel like giving back to keep<br />
the district strong. My top priorities are<br />
STEM programs, the arts and any vocational<br />
and college credit courses that prepare<br />
students for life beyond graduation.<br />
Earl J. Draper Jr.<br />
There were many adults in my life who<br />
wouldn’t allow failure to be an option.<br />
For that reason, I knew my life’s journey<br />
would be investing in the lives of kids,<br />
like so many had done for me. My priorities<br />
are to relentlessly work to close the<br />
achievement gap for low income students,<br />
students with IEPs and students of color by<br />
focusing on curriculum development and<br />
interventions. I will work to provide staff<br />
with quality professional development to<br />
ensure they are equipped to meet the needs<br />
of the diverse learners. Lastly, by offering<br />
competitive wages, supporting teachers<br />
through providing adequate plan time and<br />
cultivating a climate where staff workloads<br />
are well balanced, we will attract and maintain<br />
the best and brightest to our district.<br />
Garrett Foster<br />
I am running for the Board of Education<br />
to give back to this wonderful community.<br />
My top priorities are to increase<br />
opportunities for STEM [science, technology,<br />
engineering, math] engagement;<br />
offer a curriculum that prepares students<br />
for whatever path they choose after high<br />
school; and optimize the budget to get the<br />
most bang for your educational buck. Ultimately,<br />
my two young children make me<br />
deeply invested in upholding the quality of<br />
our outstanding school system.<br />
Proposition 3<br />
Shall the Board of Education of Fort<br />
Zumwalt School District of St. Charles<br />
County, Missouri borrow money in the<br />
amount of $35,000,000 for the purposes<br />
of acquiring, constructing, renovating, furnishing,<br />
and equipping schoolhouse sites,<br />
buildings, grounds and related facilities for<br />
school purposes and issue general obligation<br />
bonds for the payment thereof? If this<br />
proposition is approved, the adjusted debt<br />
service levy of the school district is estimated<br />
to remain unchanged at the current<br />
rate of $0.69 per $100 assessed valuation<br />
of real and personal property.<br />
FRANCIS HOWELL<br />
SCHOOL DISTRICT<br />
Board of Education<br />
Janet Stiglich<br />
I am running for the school board because,<br />
as a former school nurse, I tried to always<br />
remember to put kids first. After my retirement<br />
in 2016, I realized I still had a passion<br />
for students and wanted to make a difference<br />
in their education. My top priorities<br />
are smaller class sizes for the teachers – our<br />
students are starting to feel the disconnect<br />
– fiscal responsibility and competitive salaries<br />
for our teachers and support staff.<br />
Sandra L. [Sandy] Ferguson<br />
I have been honored to represent the Francis<br />
Howell School Board from 1995-2001<br />
and 2015 to present. The education of our<br />
children is the only way to secure a bright<br />
future. Our children need the best education<br />
possible. We can provide this by using our tax<br />
dollars wisely. I have the experience, integrity<br />
and accountability to get the job done. I will<br />
work diligently to get the information on the<br />
pros and cons on the issues. This is how I can<br />
help make the best decisions for our students,<br />
teachers, staff and the taxpayers in our district.<br />
My priorities are the safety of students in<br />
school, fiscal responsibility and making sure<br />
funds are placed for technology training.<br />
Brian Higginbotham<br />
Chad Lange*<br />
I want to continue working on building<br />
and shaping the district to be the top school<br />
district in the state. Francis Howell has a<br />
very talented superintendent and executive<br />
cabinet leading a dynamic team of talented<br />
building administrators, highly experienced<br />
certified staff and caring support<br />
staff. I am dedicated to ensuring district<br />
students receive an education that inspires<br />
and prepares them to become productive<br />
citizens and future leaders in our community.<br />
I am committed to promoting fiscal<br />
responsibility by ensuring tax dollars are<br />
spent wisely and within budget while operating<br />
effectively and efficiently. I will continue<br />
to focus on keeping students and staff<br />
safe while preserving the district’s reputation<br />
as a high-achieving school district.<br />
Proposition<br />
Shall the Board of Education of the<br />
Francis Howell School District be authorized<br />
to increase the operating tax levy for<br />
the purpose of providing funds to address<br />
the District’s strategic initiatives, including<br />
increasing student access to technology;<br />
providing additional staff positions necessary<br />
to meet student needs; introducing new<br />
programming and innovative course work;<br />
providing updated class materials; improving<br />
and maintaining the District’s facilities;<br />
providing salary increases for staff; and<br />
funding ongoing operating expenses by<br />
$0.48 per one hundred dollars of assessed<br />
valuation? If this proposition is approved,<br />
the adjusted operating levy of the school<br />
district is estimated to be $4.6614 per one<br />
hundred dollars of assessed valuation.<br />
WENTZVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT<br />
Board of Directors<br />
Saundra Kay Garber<br />
I was seated on the board in 2012 through<br />
2015 and made much positive progress in<br />
the best interest of the stakeholders and the<br />
district as a Realtor, lending my expertise to<br />
save thousands of taxpayer dollars. Keeping<br />
taxes as low as possible and removing any<br />
Common Core curriculum that taxpayers<br />
have been told is gone and replaced with the<br />
Missouri Learning Standards are among my<br />
top priorities. I’m the only one on the board<br />
in 2013 who voted no to Common Core and<br />
its curriculum in 2014. I desire to strengthen<br />
student safety and security. I believe more<br />
needs to be done.<br />
Natalie Marie DeWeese*<br />
I am running as the incumbent in an<br />
effort to continue to ensure the success of<br />
all students in the Wentzville School District<br />
and to provide the resources to secure<br />
their future. As a mother, educator, board<br />
member and community representative,<br />
my top three priorities for the Wentzville<br />
School District are to continue to address<br />
the rapid student enrollment growth while<br />
sustaining high student achievement,<br />
maintain fiscal responsibility to the taxpayers<br />
while ensuring students have the necessary<br />
resources and retain high quality staff.<br />
Bradley Buchanan<br />
As a district, we need to take steps to<br />
increase the technology available at the<br />
elementary level. We need to make sure<br />
that all reporting is done in a uniformed<br />
way across schools. The district needs to do<br />
a better job of communicating a long-term<br />
plan, especially when it comes to growth<br />
and the funds from Prop E. The district<br />
needs to be proactive instead of reactive.<br />

Proposition E<br />
Shall the Board of Education of the<br />
Wentzville R-IV School District, St.<br />
Charles County, Missouri, borrow money<br />
in the amount of One Hundred Twentyfive<br />
Million Dollars ($125,000,000) for<br />
the purpose of acquiring, constructing,<br />

ELECTION PREVIEW<br />
ELECTION PREVIEW, from page 31<br />
Ward 1 • Mary Beth Brillos<br />
I am running for office because I am a<br />
longtime resident and property owner in<br />
Dardenne Prairie for over 16 years now. I<br />
live in Bainbridge Subdivision and truly<br />
care about the community, those who live<br />
here and our property values. Small towns<br />
like ours are special. It takes effort to keep<br />
a community like ours in tact while keeping<br />
the residents’ wishes a priority. I intend to<br />

Becoming your Dardenne Prairie Ward 2<br />
alderman is a way for me to give back to<br />
the community that’s supported my family<br />
and me since moving Ungerboeck Software<br />
here in 2000. I’m an international<br />
business owner here. But I also live here.<br />
I coach baseball and softball here. I go to<br />
church here. I volunteer here. I’m invested<br />
in Dardenne Prairie. Our homes, our parks,<br />
and our roads are my top priorities. I will<br />
work to increase property values, keep property<br />
taxes low, build better infrastructure,<br />
cut wasteful spending and improve quality<br />
of life for the people of Dardenne Prairie.<br />
Ward 2 • Doug Santos*<br />
Ward 3 • Dan Koch*<br />
I am working to represent my community<br />
fairly and accurately with complete transparency.<br />
My top priorities are listening<br />
and responding to the citizens of Dardenne<br />
Prairie. Being fiscally responsible with<br />
taxpayer money. Growing the retail base.<br />
Maintaining property values.<br />
Ward 3 • Kevin Van Mondfrans<br />
I am running for alderman to enhance<br />
quality of life by improving city services<br />
while managing your tax money carefully.<br />
My top priority is public safety and<br />
the security of our neighborhoods. Public<br />
safety will underline all decisions. With<br />
Prop P passing, I support enrichment of our<br />
parks, trails and creation of new recreation<br />
opportunities across ages and interests. It is<br />
critical that we drive responsible economic<br />
development along Technology Boulevard<br />
and to the Town Square area. Economic<br />
development has many benefits including<br />
keeping our taxes among the lowest, while<br />
maintaining our services and infrastructure<br />
the best in the county.<br />

MISSISSIPPI NIGHTS REUNION<br />
It was just an old bar – lots of brick<br />
and wood and a stage on which local and<br />
national talent played. But to the Mississippi<br />
Nights faithful, it<br />
was home – someplace you<br />
returned to time and time<br />
again.<br />
On March 29, the old<br />
gang’s getting back together<br />
for a Mississippi Nights<br />
Reunion at Delmar Hall,<br />
6133 Delmar Blvd. in the<br />
Loop.<br />
Patrick Hagin, managing<br />
partner of Delmar Hall,<br />
describes that venue as “our version of<br />
Mississippi Nights,” though he admits that<br />
it’s hard “to replace that type of venue.”<br />

bands are going to try to<br />
recreate the magic of Mississippi<br />

Clayton’s Restaurant: A not-to-be-missed dining destination<br />
By AMY ARMOUR<br />
Kevin Kaegel went to extreme measures<br />
in search of the perfect filet mignon.<br />
He tracked down the former executive<br />
chef of Bocaccio’s and Premier Catering,<br />
and convinced him to open another<br />
restaurant.<br />
“His food was that good,” said Kaegel,<br />
who opened Clayton’s restaurant with<br />
executive chef and business partner Jim<br />
Thomas in 2016.<br />
Kaegel first tasted Thomas’ cuisine<br />
when dining at Bocaccio’s in St. Charles<br />
in the 1980s. Considered the first fine<br />
dining establishment in St. Charles,<br />
Bocaccio’s had an all-male serving staff<br />
donned in tuxedos. Chandeliers hung<br />
from the ceiling while a filet mignon<br />
dinner cost about $50 per plate.<br />
“It was very upscale. The food was phenomenal,<br />
the service was impeccable,”<br />
said Kaegel.<br />
The restaurant closed in 1999, and<br />
Kaegel said he simply had not found<br />
another dining establishment that could<br />
Clayton’s Restaurant<br />
replicate Bocaccio’s mouth-watering,<br />
cut-with-a-spoon filet mignon – until he<br />
experienced Premier Catering.<br />
“We were so impressed that my brother<br />
and I ate dinner there every Friday night<br />
from 2003 until 2010,” Kaegel said.<br />
As a frequent customer, Kaegel became<br />
friends with the owners and learned that<br />
Thomas had created the filet mignon masterpiece<br />
Kaegel experienced at Bocaccio’s.<br />
In 2010, Premier Catering closed its doors.<br />
“I told him, ‘I really miss your food.<br />
There’s no place in St. Charles that puts<br />
out the quality of product that you do.<br />
What’s it going to take to open your own<br />
restaurant?’” Kaegel said.<br />
The pair was able to negotiate a plan in<br />

good,” Kaegel said.<br />

is made with fresh basil and cream<br />
and topped with grilled tenderloin tips<br />

Executive Chef Jim Thomas [left] inspired Kevin Kaegel<br />
[right] to open Clayton’s in 2016.<br />
Special every Wednesday that includes a<br />
salad and a side.<br />
Kaegel considers Clayton’s a destination<br />
restaurant where people can relax<br />
and just enjoy a great meal, dessert and<br />
drinks. While it may take a little longer to<br />
be served dinner, it’s worth the wait.<br />
“It takes us longer to prepare our food<br />
because everything’s prepared from<br />
scratch, and not until you order it,” said<br />
Kaegel. “People that are foodies, they<br />
appreciate the quality in what we put out<br />
on our plates.”<br />
