RANDOM THOUGHTS 

A Community Conversation 

This week, West Newsmagazine talks 

with motivational speaker John O’Leary, 

host of the Live Inspired podcast and bestselling 

author of “On Fire: The 7 Choices 

to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life.” When 

O’Leary was 9 years old, he was given 

a 1-percent chance of survival after 100 

percent of his body was burned in an 

explosive house fire. That was in 1987. 

Today, O’Leary travels the globe, speaking 

to hundreds of thousands of people and 

inspires clients that include the St. Louis 

Cardinals and more. 

What’s the funniest thing you’ve seen a 

kid do? 

For me, one of the stories I like to share 

about my own children ... [happened] after 

picking my son Patrick up from school. He 

was only a preschooler, so he was a young, 

little guy, maybe around 4 years old. So, 

on the way home, on the highway, I hear 

the horrible sound of a child throwing up 

in the back of the car. I know it’s Patrick, 

and I know his two siblings are next to 

him, and the sound just keeps coming and 

coming and coming. Then, it stops. I look 

in the mirror and see Patrick’s face … and 

[he] just wipes his mouth and looks in the 

mirror and says, “Don’t worry, Dad, I got it 

all in your briefcase.” 

What pets did you have while growing up? 

It’s funny because my mom was not an 

animal lover as we were growing up. We 

were lucky enough to get a golden retriever 

when I was around 4 years old. That was 

awesome. Then, one of my sisters found 

a cat that was looking for a new someone, 

and somehow we convinced our mother to 

let us take the cat in. This cat, around three 

weeks later, had kittens. So, at one point 

we had a dog, a cat and I think eight kittens 

in our basement. We also had a gerbil and 

two pet birds for a while. So, the point is, 

my mother was not wild about animals, but 

she adored her children, and kept saying 

“yes,” because she was more like St. Francis 

than a mother. … It’s a credit to her. We 

didn’t realize how great that was as kids, 

but looking back on it, to do the things you 

know your kids want rather than what you 

feel like you need, that’s really generous. 

Have you ever saved someone’s life? 

That’s heavy. Of course, I’ve been told 

so, and for readers, this might need a little 

context. When I was a child, I was burned 

John O’Leary 

severely. I should have died, but ended up 

surviving through many remarkable events 

taking place sequentially. Now, as an adult, 

I’m a father of four and a husband, and I 

travel the world as a speaker, an author and 

a podcast host. 

For me, my favorite of all the stories 

we’ve heard ... was a gentleman who read 

my book “On Fire” and brought it into his 

daughter’s emergency room after she tried 

to take her own life and gave it to her. So, 

this girl is going through recovery ... [and] 

ends up reading “On Fire.” As she got to 

the end of it, she told her father, “Dad, I 

used to want to die, but after reading this 

book, now I realize that it’s life I want. I 

want to live and live more fully.” 

When [I] hear stories like this, it reminds 

me why I do the work I do, why I wake up 

early, why I stay up late, why I catch these 

red-eye flights to get where we need to go. 

It’s not about us. It’s ultimately about what 

our message can be for those in the community, 

and those people we might never 

even meet face-to-face. 

What would be the best thing you could 

reasonably expect to find in a cave? 

My wife and four kids would be the 

best thing I’d like to find in a cave. I work 

hard, and I work not for glory or income 

or status. I work to, like, by life, make this 

place and world a little bit better generally, 

but specifically for my wife and four kids. 

So, if I could stumble into a cave and find 

them, that would be more than I could reasonably 

expect and that’s all I would need.

4 I OPINION I 



LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 

Concerned about HB 1936 

To the Editor: 

In the wake of more school shootings, I 

know many of us feel helpless. To add salt 

to an already raw wound, I was recently 

made aware of HB 1936. I was horrified by 

this bill that would force public colleges to 

allow anyone to carry concealed guns on 

campus. 

On Feb. 26, I attended the Missouri 

House General Laws Committee hearing 

for this bill, and I heard testimony from 

representatives for the city of St. Louis 

police, public transportation, the American 

Federation of Teachers and the Missouri 

National Education Association, along 

with the head of the University of Central 

Missouri campus security, the executive 

director of the Community College Association, 

and countless civilians, all opposing 

this bill. Stunningly, it passed. 

As a mother of a child who will be 

attending UMKC in the fall, it hits too 

close to home. My son is now terrified this 

bill will become law. Students don’t want 

this, so why are we forcing it on them? 

College campuses are already rife with 

stress, alcohol, recreational drug use and 

suicide. Let’s not add loaded weapons into 

the fray. 

Additionally, HB 1936 calls for allowing 

guns in daycare centers, bars, casinos, hospitals 

and on private property even if the 

owner does not want guns on-site. 

This is a dangerous and irresponsible 

piece of legislation. The bill is set to be 

heard next in the House Rules Committee. 

If you, too, are a concerned citizen, call 

your representative and oppose HB 1936.

Political dishonesty 


I heard this morning, March 12, that 

Claire McCaskill has not filed for re-election 

yet. That fact has not dissuaded her 

from airing her first campaign ad against 

Josh Hawley. I didn’t catch the entire TV 

ad , but I did hear that McCaskill is “for tax 

In this Issue

Candidates in contested races 

answer: “Why are you running 

and what are your priorities?” 

cuts that help the middle class.” 

Apparently, she was for tax cuts before 

she was against them, and is now once 

again for them. 

Readers should check out the Washington 

Post fact checker article that reviewed 

“our” senator’s comments on the tax bill – 

“that the Republican tax reform law will not 

benefit the majority of people in the long 

run.” The Post gave it two Pinocchio’s, 

meaning the claim contained “significant 

omissions and/or exaggerations.” 

Come on, Claire, you can’t have it both 

ways. You voted for and would not repeal 

an economy-killer like Obamacare, a bill 

that taxed everything in sight, and would 

not vote for a bill to put money back in 

people’s pockets, claiming the age-old 

Democratic class warfare slogan that it 

only helped the rich and created debt? 

Where were you during Obama’s eight 

years and $10 trillion of debt? Apparently 

spending ourselves into oblivion is OK, 

but allowing us to spend our money is not 

the liberal way. Happy to say that the facts 

are against you on it only helping the rich. 

I trust Missourians will wake up and 

give us a second conservative in the U.S. 

Senate this fall. 

Jon Schulte 

Still more on CCR 


This letter is a response to a letter to the 

editor written by Dale Schmid [West Newsmagazine, 

Feb. 21]. 

Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in 

America is a national gun violence prevention 

organization. We respect the Second 

Amendment. We support responsible gun 

ownership and are grateful to those who 

model this safe behavior. We advocate 

for laws that make our families safe. Gun 

owners are among our “moms.” 

In his letter, Mr. Schmid refers to 

“bloodbath”[s] and Missouri gun laws. 

Prior to 2007, a permit to purchase a gun 

in Missouri was required to prevent prohibited 

persons from accessing firearms. 

Submit your letter to: editor@newsmagazinenetwork.com • 636.591.0010 

12 

Monarch Chief Reinstated 

Former Monarch FPD Chief Chuck 

Marsonette is reinstated after case 

against him is dropped. 

Application for a permit to purchase was 

made to the local sheriff and required a 

background check. In 2007, the Missouri 

legislature dismantled this system. 

Now, a background check is required only 

when a gun is purchased from a federally 

licensed dealer. A background check is not 

required in private sales such as those from 

private sellers online, at gun shows, etc. 

Daniel Webster, a gun violence 

researcher from Johns Hopkins Center for 

Gun Policy and Research, analyzed what 

happened specifically in Missouri following 

the repeal of permit to purchase. One 

of his findings showed that between 2008 

-2012, the gun homicide rate in Missouri 

increased 24 percent and the suicide rate 

increased 16 percent. You can read his 

findings online at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/ 

articles/PMC3978146/. 

As of January 2017, Missouri gun laws 

were further disassembled with passage of 

SB 656. This law requires neither a permit 

nor training to carry a concealed weapon. 

Now, criminals can purchase a gun from 

a private seller, carry it hidden and loaded, 

with no background check, no permit and 

no training, starting at age 19. 

During 2017, with this law in effect, 

there was a 23-percent increase in aggravated 

assaults with a gun in St. Louis 

City. Those statistics also are available 

online at slmpd.org/crimestats/CRM0013- 

BY_201712.pdf. 

Likening the federal Concealed Carry 

Reciprocity [CCR] law to driver’s license 

reciprocity is an excellent idea. But sadly, 

CCR is not at all like a driver’s license. 

Most states require variations of the following 

to register as a driver: valid ID, 

vision test, photograph of the driver, 

written test, skills or road test and periodic 

renewal. If the driver is reckless, the 

license is revoked. 

If Mr. Schmid can convince Rep. Ann 

Wagner to sponsor a gun bill that mimics 

requirements for driving, I would support 

it 100 percent. I cannot think of a better 

way to keep my family safe.

* Subject to Availability. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) represents the interest earned through each 

eligible call date based on simple interest calculations, an investment price of $1000 per corporate bond, and 

is accurate as of March 13, 2018. Callable corporate bonds are more likely to be called in a lower interest rate 

environment, and investors may be unable to reinvest funds at the same rate as the original corporate bonds. 

The minimum balance required to purchase the corporate bond and obtain the APR is $10,000. Interest payouts 

are mandatory, and interest cannot remain on deposit. This investment is not FDIC insured. 

Corporate bond prices move opposite to interest rates, increasing when rates decline and falling when rates 

increase. Corporate bonds are intended to be held until maturity, as this assures redemption at par value. 

Investors may sell them before the stated maturity date, if needed, at the prevailing market prices, and proceeds 

may be more or less than the original investment. Market values of longer-term corporate bonds tend to be 

more sensitive to interest rate fluctuation. Thus, the longer-term corporate bonds are generally not suitable for 

investors with a short-term horizon. Other factors that may affect corporate bonds are order size, call features, 

and investor demand. Sales charges may apply. Consider all risks and benefits and how this investment 

alternative may help meet investment objectives.

EDITORIAL 

Take advantage of your right – get out and vote 

Why do municipal elections matter? 

Well, let’s talk trash – and home values, 

graduation rates, economic development, 

law enforcement, community arts 

programs and so much more. 

It’s easy to get up on the second Tuesday 

in April and make the decision to 

skip a trip to the polling place. Don’t 

do it. 

Voting is your right – and it doesn’t 

take long, especially when so many are 

making that faulty decision to drive 

right on by. 

When citizens choose not to exercise 

the right to vote, others – often with 

very different views – make decisions 

for them. When that happens, those 

same citizens often choose to speak up 

and complain, offering their opinions 

around dinner tables, at cocktail parties, 

on playgrounds and ball fields, 

but not in council chambers, at school 

board meetings or – in the voting booth 

on April 3. 

Guess what? Complaining without 

action is just – well, a lot of empty talk. 

Sometimes those complaining nonvoters 

try to suggest that, while they 

did not act, their words inspired others 

to act. Maybe, but the only action you 

really can control is yours. 

Your action on April 3 speaks volumes. 

One of the great privileges of being 

an American is having the opportunity 

to vote for your favorite candidate or 

“the lesser of two evils” as the saying 

goes. 

If you don’t like the way things are 

going on your local school board, city 

council or board of aldermen, don’t 

complain. Act. Vote in some new ideas. 

Just don’t step into the polling place 

uninformed. 

Take some time to do a little research. 

Start with this issue of West Newsmagazine. 

Inside you’ll find our annual Election 

Preview, which offered candidates in 

each contested race the opportunity to 

answer the following questions: 

• Why are you running and what are 

your priorities if elected? 

• What are your qualifications for 

holding public office? 

Space prevents the answers for both 

questions to appear in print, but both 

answers can be found online at westnewsmagazine.com, 

along with an article 

on the mayoral races in Manchester 

and Ellisville, and a conversation with 

Parkway School Board candidates about 

school safety. Want to know more about 

the propositions on the April 3 ballot? 

You’ll find both a listing of the propositions 

in ballot language and numerous 

articles about the issues prompting those 

propositions – from flooding in Eureka 

to charter amendments in Wildwood. 

Each and every one of us has a great 

responsibility to inform ourselves on 

the issues and candidates and, most 

importantly, to get out and vote for the 

candidates and positions we support. 

Local elections impact our local communities 

and our lives. So don’t let the 

opportunity to vote pass you by. 

Sadly, many times local election 

voter turnout, even in an educated and 

affluent area like West County, is dreadfully 

low. 

This great county was founded on the 

idea that citizens would be informed 

and would participate in the election 

process. It is important that we, as citizens, 

exercise this precious right. 

Get out and vote!

BALLWIN 

Old Ballwin Road construction 

projects begin 

Work began this week to replace curbs, 

gutters, sidewalks and curb ramps along 

Old Ballwin Road. It is anticipated the 

work will last about three weeks. Residents 

and visitors are encouraged to allow extra 

time for travel, as traffic will be reduced to 

one alternating lane, or plan to use a different 

route entirely. 

Missouri American Water also will begin 

installing a new water main on Old Ballwin 

Road between Parker Drive and Nancy 

Place. This project is expected to be completed 

by the end of May. 

CHESTERFIELD 

River Valley Drive closure 

completed after much debate 

The closure of River Valley Drive at the 

city limits between Chesterfield and Maryland 

Heights has been completed. 

Residents in the area had asked for 

the closure due to concerns about traffic 

volume from anticipated development of 

property in Maryland Heights. 

An original design for the closure had 

to be reconfigured when it was discovered 

that land the homeowners association had 

planned to give to Chesterfield for a culde-sac 

at the closure could not be conveyed 

to the city. The cul-de-sac and closure 

then were redesigned with the use of other 

adjoining property. Emergency vehicles 

can unlock the gate when necessary.

Capital Improvement Program 

hearing scheduled 

A public hearing for the Capital Improvement 

Program [CIP] for fiscal years 2019- 

2023 is at 7 p.m. on Monday, April 9 in the 

City Council chambers at the Government 

Center, 300 N. New Ballas Road. 

The CIP includes projects such as construction 

of sidewalks, installation of park 

amenities, street resurfacing and improvements 

to the stormwater system. Funding 

for projects comes from the city’s half-cent 

capital improvement sales tax, grants and 

transfers from the general fund. 

The CIP process includes input from 

residents, elected and appointed officials 

and city staff; preparation of the draft CIP 

by city staff; review of the CIP by the planning 

& zoning commission and finance 

committee; a public hearing; and final 

adoption by the city council. The CIP is 

updated each year.

TWIN OAKS 

Twin Oaks branches out 

with new town hall 

From 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on March 28, the 

City of Twin Oaks will hold the grand opening 

for its new town hall. The new facility 

is located 1393 Big Bend Road, Suite F. 

The opening will showcase the new facility, 

which city staff already has moved into, 

to the general public. The event is free for 

the public to attend and refreshments will 

also be available. Construction of the new 

town hall ended in early 2018 after about 

12 years of planning and about $1.7 million 

in funds. The facility is about 5,500- 

square feet in size, and will serve as the 

location for the city’s Board of Alderman 

meetings going forward. The hall is split 

into two areas, with one housing the city’s 

administrative offices and the other containing 

a multipurpose community room 

that also will also serve as the aldermanic 

chamber. The multipurpose room also can 

be divided into larger and smaller meeting 

rooms, and the city is looking to open the 

area as a potential meeting space for nonprofit 

groups and local clubs.

in scholarships during the course of 

its 50 years in service. It expects to award 

approximately $90,000 this year through 

its various scholarship programs. Candidates 

applying for scholarships must 

demonstrate significant financial need 

and merit based on academic achievement 

and/or character. Scholarships can 

be used at professional trade schools, 

community colleges or four-year institutions. 

New to the program this year is Circle’s 

partnership with myscholarshipcentral.org, 

an online portal that helps students navigate 

the scholarship process. The website 

allows students to fill out a general application 

that then suggests multiple scholarships, 

therefore maximizing students’ 

opportunities to receive more private student 

aid.

ELECTION PREVIEW 

I ELECTION PREVIEW I 11 

In anticipation of the April 3 municipal 

election, West County candidates in contested 

races only were invited to answer 

the following questions: 

1. Why are you running and what are 

your priorities if elected? 2. What are your 

qualifications for holding public office? 

Due to space limitations, only the 

answers to question No. 1 are listed here. 

Answers to both questions can be found 

online at westnewsmagazine.com. 

West Newsmagazine has not verified and 

does not endorse the statements made by 

the candidates. Candidates in all races are 

listed in ballot order; incumbents are identified 

with an asterisk after their name. 

All board of aldermen, city council and 

trustee terms are two years unless otherwise 

noted. 

BALLWIN 

Board of Aldermen 

Ward 1 • Michael Finley* 

Ward 2 • Kevin M. Roach* 

Ballwin is a great hometown and has 

been mine for over 30 years. I’m proud 

Ballwin is one of America’s best places to 

live, and I’ve been working on the board to 

keep it that way. I believe it’s important to 

serve my neighbors and Ballwin businessowners. 

We, as friends and neighbors, need 

to continue to work together to keep our 

city clean and safe. Having spoken with 

many in the community, our top priorities 

in city government should be to improve 

our roads, maintain our excellent level of 

public safety, be good stewards with tax 

dollars, help grow Ballwin businesses and 

keep our beautiful parks and recreation 

facilities well maintained. 

Ward 2 • Katie M. Zaitz-Fink 

Ballwin is a city that is ranked as one of 

the best cities in America to live, work and 

raise a family. I value community service 

and appreciate the opportunity to address 

the issues that face our city. I take seriously 

the responsibility of being a dedicated 

public servant. I will apply common sense 

principles in all of my decision-making, 

and I will work diligently and cooperatively 

with my colleagues to find common 

ground that will serve the best interests of 

the city and all its residents. I profoundly 

care about this community. For me, Ballwin 

is all about community, and leadership 

is not about politics, it is about people. The 

top priority of any local government should 

be to keep its citizens safe. My other priorities 

include: supporting small businesses 

and startups, and fiscal responsibility. 

Ward 3 • Frank Fleming* 

Ward 4 • Raymond L. Kerlagon* 

CHESTERFIELD 

City Council 

Ward 1 • Barry Flachsbart * 

Ward 2 • Jami Dolby 

I decided to run for the Ward 2 council 

seat because I wanted my fellow residents 

to have a representative in city hall that 

represented a voice for smart growth, transparency, 

innovate thoughts and continued 

support toward our police department. 

Having responsible government as we protect 

our taxes, residents and the growth of 

our community are some of my top priorities. 

We cannot continue to support development 

that does not work with the long-term 

goals of our city. I want to help develop a 

comprehensive plan with input from residents 

so we do not lose focus on what makes 

Chesterfield great – our residents. 

Ward 2 • Mary Ann Mastorakos 

I am running for Chesterfield City Council 

Ward 2 to ensure that the integrity of 

our neighborhoods and, more importantly, 

that the interests of our residents are a 

priority. Chesterfield should strive to balance 

residential, commercial and corporate 

development that adheres to the city’s comprehensive 

plan. A sound financial footing 

is essential and I will work toward that end. 

My goals include providing transparency 

and accessibility to our citizens. Finally, I 

will encourage the city to be an active participant 

in the future of Chesterfield Mall to 

find a satisfactory and sustainable outcome. 

I would appreciate your vote on April 3. 

Ward 3 • Randy Logan* 

My top priorities begin with continuing 

to listen to the residents throughout our 

upcoming parks master plan and citywide 

comprehensive plan processes. Both of 

these plans will be revised in the upcoming 

months, and I believe significant input 

from the residents will give us the best 

results. Our city budget is stable, and we 

have maintained the highest bond rating 

in the state; however, our future sales tax 

revenue base is less certain, and I will 

continue to monitor our revenues, spend 

wisely and work toward solutions that are 

in the best interest of the residents. 

Ward 3 • Michael Moore 

I believe in residents first and that preserving 

our neighborhoods is critical to 

maintaining the integrity of our community. 

My top priorities are the evolution 

of Chesterfield Mall, to make it more of a 

multi-use location for all residents of our 

city. The mall must evolve to become more 

of a core part of our city, rather than just 

a shopping location. Updating the Chesterfield 

comprehensive plan to reflect current 

zoning practices, one that reflects the 

wishes of the residents. Working within a 

balanced city of Chesterfield budget, where 

our expenses do not exceed our revenues. 

Ward 4 • William [Bill] Lawson 

I am running for office due to my interest 

in Chesterfield and as a result of some 

less-than-positive experiences I had when 

I presented certain issues to the city council. 

Having delved into the issues, I believe 

economic development is the key to the 

future success of Chesterfield. With declining 

city revenues over the last year, we 

need to take advantage of the opportunity 

to redevelop Chesterfield Mall and make it 

an income producer for the city. The council 

must be creative in attracting a great 

development that makes financial sense 

and benefits residents. We must exercise 

fiscal responsibility with an open mind to 

what is best for the citizens. Despite the 

tremendous police force we have in Chesterfield, 

property crime is a growing concern. 

We must monitor neighborhoods to 

reduce property crime. 

Ward 4 • Tom DeCampi* 

When I ran in 2016, I promised to change 

the prevailing culture at city hall based on 

three pillars: rule of law, transparency and 

fiscal responsibility. I want to see the community 

grow and flourish and welcome 

development, but nothing is more important 

to me than protecting the pocketbooks 

of our residents who pay the bills. The 

voters who support me recognize that as 

government expands, personal liberties 

diminish. That’s why I’ve done everything 

to bring efficiency to municipal operations 

without resorting to higher taxes.

CREVE COEUR 

Mayor 

Barry L. Glantz* 

City Council 

Ward 1 • Heather P. Silverman 

I believe that civic engagement is important 

and I feel passionate about serving my 

community. My husband and I chose to 

raise our family in Creve Coeur because of 

all the city has to offer. I want to work to 

ensure that our community continues to be a 

great place to live. I believe it is important to 

improve walkability and encourage responsible 

redevelopment in the East Olive Corridor. 

I would like to see neighborhood uses 

that will benefit current residents and attract 

new residents and businesses. In addition, I 

believe residents should be empowered to 

make their voices heard. 

Ward 1 • James Faron 

I’m running for re-election to continue 

my support of the local Creve Coeur community, 

the Ward 1 district I represent and 

its residents, and to sustain the progress 

we’ve made in improving our city. My top 

priorities are to support the strong financial 

standing and triple-A rating that our city 

now carries, which provides leverage for 

city development; to promote and grow 

the existing and future business and commercial 

sectors of our city, which generates 

a strong tax base; and to protect and define

city, which maintains a high quality of life.

point where I’ve realized how important 

the community connection is from more 

than a neighborhood standpoint. … One of 

my top priorities ... is helping grow our tax 

revenue organically. … The other thing that 

goes along with that is trying to educate our 

citizens a little bit more on what’s involved 

in the process, and why it’s important for 

us, as a city, to consider any commercial 

development offer that comes before us 

because that’s what helps provide the services 

citizens want. 

Mayor • Mick Cahill 

I’m running for office, first of all, because 

I love my town. I have been a councilmember 

for four years prior to this year and now, 

the position of mayor is open and I think we 

need somebody with a clear head to get in 

there and work for the community. As for 

my agenda, I want to keep the system going 

the way it is, but what I’m really looking 

for is to help the citizens in the town build 

a stronger retail space and fill some of the 

voids we have along Manchester and Clark-

A Client Letter 

Law Matters 

Dear Client: 

Let me start 

by commending 

you on what 

you were doing. 

Having helped 

my wife care for 

her parents as 

their health and 

mental capacity declined, I know how 

physically, intellectually, and emotionally 

draining this can all be. Growing 

up, we never really think about the 

kinds of things you are dealing with 

now. Some people walk away. Some 

people delegate the duties. Some people 

just want to end it all. But you are 

caring for your mother at what is probably 

the most difficult time in her 

life, and also of your life up to now. 

Having said that, I wanted to answer 

some of your questions. The first 

was whether having your mom declared 

incompetent created any 

problems for you personally. To 

answer that, I need to define what I 

mean by declaring your mom 

incompetent. 

If she had not done any planning, 

that would mean getting a court involved. 

It’s not the end of the world, 

but it is sort of a pain. You’d need to 

get a doctor in a formal set of questions 

(“interrogatories”) to say that 

your mom can’t perform certain basic 

functions of daily living. For instance, 

can she remember to take her medicine 

at the proper time? Does she 

know to wear a coat when it’s cold 

outside? 

Once you have the interrogatories, 

you have a hearing. Assuming all goes 

as planned, the judge would then put 

you in charge of her finances (a 

conservatorship) and her person (a 

guardianship). You would next need 

to get a court order authorizing you 

to spend money, and then you have 

to file an annual financial report 

with the court. 

Fortunately, your mom did all the 

necessary planning. She has a general 

durable power of attorney, a recent 

medical directive (which includes a 

medical power of attorney and a living 

will), and a trust. Since your 

mom wanted to retain control as 

long as she could, now we just need a 

doctor to certify that she is not able 

to perform some of the necessary 

functions of basic daily living. 

Once you do get the certification, 

you can pay your mom’s bills and 

make decisions regarding her care. 

There is no need for any court 

proceeding. In addition, there will be 

no additional liability for you 

personally. 

Once again, I want to commend 

you on what you are doing. God 

bless.

Monarch Fire District board 

reinstates suspended chief 

By JIM ERICKSON 

The Monarch Fire Protection District 

board has reinstated its former fire chief 

days after various felony charges against 

him were dropped in St. Louis Circuit Court. 

After a lengthy March 13 closed-door 

session, directors voted 3-0 to hire Wayne 

“Chuck” Marsonette as deputy chief of operations, 

Rick Gans, board president, reported. 

Cary Spiegel remains the chief, a position 

he assumed Jan. 1 after serving as 

acting chief since August 2016 when Marsonette 

was suspended. 

Marsonette’s three-year contract as chief 

expired at the end of 2017 and the board 

opted not to renew it, appointing Spiegel to 

the post instead. 

Before the charges were dismissed, Marsonette 

was accused of fraudulent use of 

a business credit card from Reliant Care 

Management Co., a former employer. He 

later was charged with tampering with an 

airplane or boat, forgery and additional misuses 

of a credit card. 

According to the county prosecutor’s 

office, Reliant asked that the charges be 

dropped because it no longer wanted the 

case to be criminally prosecuted. The company 

and The Big Blessing, LLC, which also 

employed Marsonette, reportedly planned 

to pursue their complaints in a civil lawsuit. 

Marsonette has denied all the charges, and, 

according to Gans, said he is not a plaintiff 

On April 16, 2016, first-grader Rachael 

Bick was hit and killed by an SUV while 

crossing Hwy. 109, from the parking lot 

of Elaine Rosi Academy, with her father 

on their way to a father-daughter dance at 

Babler Elementary in Wildwood. 

Immediately following the accident, St. 

Louis County Police Wildwood Precinct 

reported that an SUV was making a left turn 

out of the parking lot of Babler Elementary, 

1955 Shepard Road, to drive southbound 

on Hwy. 109 when it struck Bick. 

Wildwood Police and Rockwood 

School District officials agreed to meet 

about procedures in regard to enhancing 

safety at that location. Capt. Tim Tanner, 

precinct commander, admitted “there’s 

a huge amount of traffic congestion on 

Hwy. 109, and we address speeding and 

other issues regularly throughout the corridor 

because it’s so heavily traveled.” 

@WESTNEWSMAG 


or defendant in any current civil cases. 

As deputy chief of operations, Marsonette 

will have the position formerly held by 

Les Crews, who moved up to acting assistant 

chief when Marsonette was suspended. 

He became the regular assistant chief at the 

same time Spiegel was named chief. 

The deputy chief position has been 

vacant since the 2016 changes. 

Gans said Marsonette has accepted the 

offer and will start work as deputy chief as 

soon as the required pre-employment protocols, 

which include a physical exam, drug 

test and background check, are completed. 

The board president added that Marsonette’s 

annual salary will be equal to that 

of other current deputy chiefs. According 

to Monarch’s transparency portal, the pay 

of two other deputy chiefs ranged from 

about $121,000 to $122,700 during the 12 

months that ended Aug. 31, 2017. 

Asked what factors led the board to its 

decision, Gans stated, “First of all, we had 

an opening that existed. Secondly, I said … 

if he was found innocent at trial or if the 

charges were dropped, then my vote would 

be to bring him back. 

“The man was arrested, jailed and put 

through significant strife and, in the end, 

the charges were dropped. While I don’t 

know why it happened, it is scary to think 

that can happen to you, to me or anyone 

who, in the end, may have done nothing to 

deserve it.” 

Anniversary of fatal accident prompts 

talk of school safety procedures 

As the two-year anniversary of the 

accident approaches, West Newsmagazine 

checked in with Dr. Eric Knost, superintendent 

of the Rockwood School District, 

to see what safety procedures have been 

implemented. 

“We have worked hard to encourage 

parents not to utilize parking across Hwy. 

109,” Knost said. “The school typically 

has ample parking in the back lot behind 

Babler Elementary. If we were to host a 

huge program or event at the school, we 

have the option of utilizing the parking lots 

available at Lafayette High to shuttle to 

and from the Babler campus.” 

In St. Louis Circuit Court last month, 

Rachael’s parents, Susan and John Bick, of 

Wildwood, approved a settlement with the 

driver of the SUV that hit and killed their 

daughter. The identity of the driver has 

been kept confidential.

Talk of Belleview Farm Park 

improvements starts up again 

Outdoor enthusiasts might be taking to 

the streets or the trails of Wildwood more 

often after 2018. The city is taking the concept 

of economic development outdoors 

for some fresh air. 

At its March 12 work session, Wildwood’s 

City Council took a voice vote 

in favor of developing a concept plan for 

Belleview Farm Park, a parcel of more 

than 100 acres of unincorporated land in 

St. Louis County near St. Paul and Jedberg 

roads. The property, which abuts to the city 

of Wildwood, is under a long-term lease, 

for which the city pays St. Louis County 

about $1 per year. The 25-year lease agreement 

went into effect in 2014 with the creation 

of a park as part of the deal. 

“That was a contingency to St. 

Louis County supporting the lease 

with the city of Wildwood, that we 

would build certain facilities and 

then open the park for public use,” 

Joe Vujnich, director of planning 

and parks, said. 

On March 12, the council voted 

to enter a design process with the 

city’s Department of Planning for 

the further development of, and 

additions to, Belleview Farm Park 

by authorizing a memorandum of 

understanding [MOU] for the city 

administrator and the city attorney 

to engage Gateway Off-Road Cyclists 

[GORC]. The creation of trails and assets 

in the area also was discussed. The MOU 

would then return to the city council in the 

future for review. 

According to Vujnich, GORC 

approached the city in early 2018 regarding 

the creation of onsite amenities, specifically, 

two trail courses, a children’s 

educational area and a connector trail to 

link to the nearby Al Foster Trail. 

GORC is a 501[c]3 nonprofit organization 

dedicated to the design, advocacy, 

construction and maintenance of multiuse 

trails across the area. Many members 

of GORC are architects and engineers, 

and much of its work is volunteer-driven. 

GORC also has assisted with trail development 

within other local parks, including 

Greensfelder Park and Bluff View Park. 

For some councilmembers, the partnership 

with GORC is an opportunity to 

provide residents with more outdoor recreation 

and to draw visitors that would spend 

money at local shops and restaurants. 

“It’s really become this world-class trail 

system that we really have to give GORC a 

lot of credit for, because they’re the volunteers 

out there making this happen,” Councilmember 

Tammy Shea [Ward 3] said. 

“Our outdoor environment is our greatest 

asset. It’s the hallmark of our city, and it’s 

why we incorporated.” 

While the council’s motion was favorable 

at the work session, the prospect of 

the city using funds for a park not technically 

located within the city was a cause of 

concern for some, especially in the realm 

of using taxpayer dollars for any possible 

improvements. 

“The reason I’m not in favor of this is 

because it’s not land that’s within the city of 

Wildwood,” Councilmember Debra Smith 

McCutchen [Ward 5] said. “It’s not owned 

by Wildwood, and it’ll never be owned by 

Wildwood, and we would be using city tax 

dollars to go toward that project. 

“I think it’s a great project and I think 

Belleview Farm Park 

[City of Wildwood photo] 

GORC does a great job, but if they’re 

going to do this partnership, I think they 

need to do it with the county and not with 

the city of Wildwood.” 

According to Vujnich, GORC would be 

responsible for providing the expertise, 

staff and labor for its respective projects, 

while the city will cover costs pertaining 

to items like the park’s design plan, access 

roads, parking and the interior park drive. 

The city would look into providing the 

same quality amenities currently present in 

the city’s Community Park, such as picnic 

tables and trash receptacles. The city also 

would be responsible for the ongoing maintenance 

of the area, which currently costs 

an estimated $2,000 to $3,000 annually 

for items like cutting grass and addressing 

minor vandalism. 

If a favorable MOU is passed by the city, 

work could begin in late 2018 to early 2019, 

according to Vujnich. However, before any 

physical work can begin, the MOU would 

need to return to GORC, and further legislation 

would come back to the city council 

for ultimate approval. 

In July 2016, the city provided an update

FOCUS 2018 

A celebration of area photographers 

By BONNIE KRUEGER 

Capturing moments through the lens

the Fifth annual Manchester Arts FOCUS 

Photography Exhibition, sponsored, in

FOCUS 2018 was judged by Lead Curator 

Don McKenna and Associate Curator

When it came time to award the best of the

BELLEVIEW, from previous 

on Belleview Farm Park’s concept design 

with the city’s consultant, DG2 Design, 

and reviewed items like topography, vegetation 

and the best placement of potentially 

active areas. The city has also had previous 

conversations with other possible partners, 

including GORC, about the park property. 

“We’ve had some preliminary discussion, 

but nothing to the same level as of late,” 

Vujnich said. 

As part of the lease agreement, an access 

roadway from St. Paul Road, an internal park 

driveway, a parking area and a trail were to 

be installed by January 2017, but weren’t. 

“That’s part of the reason GORC’s proposal 

is so appealing to the city, because 

one of those required improvements in the 

lease is a trail network that would then be 

the centerpiece of the project, which would 

include the access road, the interior park 

drive, the parking lot an a couple amenities 

around the lot,” Vujnich said. 

A tentative cost for those improvements 

has been estimated at $125,000 

to $150,000. Regarding the park design, 

Vujnich said the city previously developed 

a master concept plan. That plan was 

funded through capital improvement fund 

monies at a cost of about $15,000. The city 

might front future design and engineering 

costs if the memorandum is favorably 

received by the council, Vujnich said. 

The city’s Historic Preservation Commission 

also has been involved with the park’s 

development process due to the historic significance 

of the property and the presence of 

buildings that are over 100 years old. The 

preservation of the buildings was a condition 

attached to the property’s lease. 

In other park news, Wildwood is working 

to expand and improve its current parks for 

the upcoming spring and summer seasons. 

Phase 3 of the work in Community Park 

began in mid-March with tree removal 

being undertaken by Wentzville-based 

DJM Ecological Services. The goal of the 

tree removal is to facilitate completion of 

the perimeter trail, installation of additional 

parking in the north end of the park, 

construction of small shelters and planting 

of the Great Meadow area. Visitors still are 

allowed in the park during the tree removal 

process, which is slated for completion on 

March 31. The remainder of the Phase 3 

updates should wrap up by fall 2018. 

Work on the city’s long-discussed Ward 

5 park also is in its design phase, with a 

tentative goal for a design to be chosen and 

development to begin by late 2018. 

“There’s a lot of things that bring people 

to Wildwood,” Shea said. “The schools, 

the safety, the aesthetics and the access 

to amenities. Our greatest amenities are 

our parks and trails. They facilitate good, 

healthy living. It’s what people moved here 

for. We should embrace it.”

Rockwood educator heads 

to Boston Marathon 

Hyland’s, Inc., will bring a team of 13 

classroom all-stars to one of the world’s 

most coveted starting lines, the 2018 

Boston Marathon. The team of educators 

was hand-selected from more than 

1,600 applications 

received from 

runners across the 

country. 

Among them is 

Kristin Clark, a 

librarian at Ballwin 

Elementary in 

Rockwood. 

Clark is equally 

committed to running 

and education. 

In addition to her 

18 years with Rockwood, 

she also is 

the head coach of 

her school’s Girls 

on the Run program. 

To ensure 

that the mentorship 

and wellness experience 

is accessible 

to all girls in her community, Clark even 

helps raise money to support those unable 

to otherwise afford to participate. 

“When I earned a qualifying time to run 

the Boston Marathon, and then got accepted 

as a participant, it was surreal,” Clark said. 

“Now to have the opportunity to be on this 

journey to Boston with not only the support 

and guidance of my biggest and littlest 

cheerleaders [my husband and 5-year-old 

daughter] but also this remarkable group of 

teachers who share my passions and drive 

for kids, education and running is astounding. 

I cannot wait to experience the marathon 

and the city of Boston as a member of 

this team.” 

The 2018 Boston Marathon takes place 

on Monday, April 16. 

Christine Keating is surprised in her third 

grade class at Bellerive Elementary. 

Rockwood librarians lead the way 

Rockwood librarians Margaret Sullivan 

and Elaine McKenna won awards from the 

Missouri Association of School Librarians 

[MASL]. 

Sullivan, Rockwood lead librarian and a 

staff librarian at Rockwood Summit High 

and Marquette High, won the MASL Special 

Service Award, given to a person who 

has rendered significant service to school 

libraries. 

Sullivan is a past president of that organization. 

“During my tenure, we worked a lot on 

advocacy,” said Sullivan, “trying to get 

more support for school libraries in the 

Department of Elementary and Secondary 

Education, and through the Missouri Legislature.” 

Sullivan said she also was part of starting 

low-cost summer workshops and webinars 

for new librarians. 

“The webinars feature a different topic 

every month,” she said, “so participants 

can learn more about how to be an effective 

school librarian.” 

Rockwood Summit librarian McKenna 

received the MASL Bright Idea Award. 

She was nominated for management of the 

library’s 3D printer program. 

McKenna said, “The 3D printer is something 

a group of five students and two staff 

members built last spring after experiencing 

one from Rockwood STEM. We borrowed 

theirs and really liked it. We looked 

at purchasing a printer, but a student from 

the group said, ‘Why don’t we build one 

from a kit, instead?’” 

McKenna said that, despite having commitment 

from district officials to purchase 

a 3D printer, her group chose to build one, 

resulting in significant cost savings. 

“The kids were all on board with building 

one,” she said. “It took seven people 12 

hours to build. The students who were part 

of that team are part of the print team, now. 

They manage the jobs that come through 

and inspect the work other students are submitting. 

We have a web page where students 

can get instructions about how to do it.” 

McKenna said she is honored to be 

selected for the MASL Bright Idea Award. 

“It’s nice to be able to spread the word,” 

she said. “When people read about this in

American Heart Association fundraising gets personal in Rockwood 

The student-generated, student-organized 

American Heart Association [AHA] 

event at Rockwood South Middle on Feb. 

28 is being called a student-with-heart presentation. 

Administrators say it was rooted 

in respect and affection, and designed to 

honor the efforts of a physical education 

teacher at Rockwood South Middle. 

Bob Koger, an eighth-grade physical 

education and health teacher at Rockwood 

South Middle, is the coordinator of the 

school’s AHA fundraising and heart disease 

health awareness efforts. He had set 

a goal to raise $2,500 for AHA by the end 

of February. 

The cause is near and dear to Koger. Heart 

disease had taken a toll on his family, claiming 

the life of his father. He made the cause 

personal by sharing the information about 

his family with his students. They, too, took 

it personally. Koger planned many activities 

to achieve the school’s fundraising goal. 

Activities included Friday Hat Days, AHA 

T-shirt sales and partnering with the school’s 

‘Where Everyone Belongs’ group to hold a 

mixer. 

Students were invested in the effort and 

took the initiative to help. 

But then heart disease intervened again, 

and Koger had to take time off when his 

mother died. The popular Rockwood South 

Middle teacher lost both parents to heart 

disease in the course of just three months. 

Without its point man, the school’s February 

AHA campaign may have been in 

jeopardy. But students stepped up their 

efforts. They organized a hot chocolate 

stand in the school cafeteria and raised 

money in Koger’s name. 

Teacher Amy Krueger said, “In my more 

than 20 years at South, I’ve never seen 

such a special outpouring of altruism and 

love from students.” 

Eighth-grade student Tate Kramer said, 

“We got involved because Mr. Koger was a 

big part of the American Heart Association 

project, so we wanted to help our school 

and him.” 

Kramer’s classmate, Olivia Drake, 

agreed. 

“We wanted to show Mr. Koger that the 

school supports him,” said Drake. “He 

really cares about supporting other families, 

so we just wanted to show him we are 

passionate about his cause, too.” 

Krueger said, “These girls checked with 

faculty and staff to make sure their pursuit 

was well-organized. The job they did 

promoting the mixer resulted in a record 

number of participants at the afterschool 

Rockwood South Middle teacher Bob Koger with some of the students who helped organize 

their school’s American Heart Association fundraising efforts. 

dance. All the money raised went to the 

American Heart Association.” 

Krueger said a number of students who 

organized the hot chocolate stand wanted 

to welcome Koger back after his loss with 

a special dedication assembly. Students 

wrote scripts. They put together a slide 

show and created an oversized check to 

present to him for the AHA. 

But they were not finished yet. 

During the assembly, the student organizers 

asked their fellow students to stand 

if they had worn a fundraising hat, attended 

the mixer or purchased any money-making 

hot chocolate. Nearly every student stood. 

Koger said, “The students, staff, administration 

and PSO at Rockwood South 

Middle School are an incredible community 

of people working together for the 

greater good. I am overwhelmed by their 

amazing hard work, compassion, creativity 

and thoughtfulness.” 

Krueger added, “The whole effort is a 

testimony to what a group of kids can do 

to bring their peers and adults together to 

show they have a heart for others.” 

Rockwood South Middle has demonstrated 

it is a school advocating for heart 

health, and filled with students who have 

good hearts.

No owl, but ‘Harry Potter’ letter thrills local fan 



I SCHOOLS I 19 

Twin Oaks Christian fourth-grader Addie 

Drumm received a letter from J.K. Rowling, 

the British author best known for the 

‘Harry Potter’ fantasy series. 

Rowling responded to a letter Drumm had 

written as part of the fourth-grade letter-writing 

unit, which instructed students on how to 

write a variety of friendly and business letters. 

“Addie’s reaction was priceless!” teacher 

Kendall Brewer said. “You could see the 

sheer excitement and surprise on her face. 

It was an open-mouth, hands-on-thecheeks 

reaction.” 

Upon opening the letter, Drumm’s classmates 

crowded around to get a peek at J.K. 

Rowling’s stationary and hear Drumm read 

the letter aloud to the entire class. 

“As I went up to get the letter from Miss 

Brewer, my good friend, Norah Yost, ran 

up to give me a big hug,” Drumm said. “I 

could barely read it because I was shaking 

so much! ‘Harry Potter’ is my absolute 

favorite book. I actually just started reading 

the fourth book of the series.” 

Initially, she thought the letter of response 

was from her friend and classmate, Kaitlyn 

Reidler, whom she had written a letter to as 

one of her friendly letter assignments. 

Rowling’s letter discussed her busy writing 

schedule as well as her appreciation for all of 

the fans who take the time to write. Rowling 

mentioned that the play, “Harry Potter and 

the Cursed Child,” on which she 

collaborated, now is showing at the 

Palace Theatre in London. 

When asked what she learned 

from the writing unit, Drumm said, 

“I learned that we sign our name in 

cursive at the end of the letter. I 

also learned that if you do receive 

a letter back from your favorite 

author that it is probably a oncein-a-lifetime 

opportunity. I really 

did not expect to get picked!” 

Addie Drumm with teacher Kendall Brewer shows off 

her letter from J.K. Rowling.

many of the participating photographers, 

the Marquette High student has won before, 

taking first place in 2016 in the same division. 

“There are so many talented photographers, 

who see in such a variety of lenses, 

that it would be difficult to place multiple 

years in a row,” said Douglas. 

The first-place award in the ages 21 to 49 

category went to Sean Badock for “Dividing 

Lines,” one of the architectural submissions. 

His top finish netted him a $150 prize. 

In addition to age-specific categories, 

one special award was given to the “Best 

in Show.” That esteemed win was the submission 

by Bodhi Lee for her photograph 

“Slow Music,” winning her the biggest 

cash prize of the night – $200. 

“FOCUS helps to showcase the magnificent 

talent in our own area and opens up 

possibilities for other art events,” shared 

Douglas. 

For example, later this year, third-place 

winner McKenzie Donaldson will have a 

special art exhibit in the new parks and 

recreation facility in Paul A. Schroeder 

Park. Donaldson won with her photograph 

“Milkbath” in the ages 14 to 20 category. 

In addition to Manchester Arts volunteers 

and city employees, the International 

Photography Hall of Fame and Museum, 

Parkway School District, guitarist Michael

20 I SPORTS I 

By WARREN MAYES 



Whitfield senior Mike McAteer capped 

off a wrestling career for the history books 

by winning a state wrestling championship 

in each of his four years. 

McAteer joins a select group; there have 

been just 29 four-time champions in Missouri 

wrestling history. 

It was a goal for McAteer, who will 

wrestle for Army when he heads to West 

Point in the fall. 

“I was highly determined to win my 

fourth and last state title because I wanted 

to make an impression in the history books 

and really make a name for myself as a 

high school wrestler,” McAteer said. 

He is the second Whitfield wrestler to 

win four state titles. Rodney Hahn, who 

went to the Naval Academy, also achieved 

four championships. 

“I do not know Rodney very well, but I 

do know his accomplishments, and was 

reminded of them often,” McAteer said. 

Coach Charlie Sherertz knows he had 

someone special in his program. 

“He’s certainly one of the most dominant 

wrestlers we’ve ever had at Whitfield,” 

Sherertz said. 

McAteer’s run to returning to the Class 

1 state meet began with the district tournament. 

He pinned Keon Hollis, of 

Sumner, in 26 seconds in the championship 

match at 126 pounds. 

“I did this by having a clear mindset 

and knowing that I would have 

to go out and dominate if I wanted 

to make a name for myself,” McAteer 

said. “This was actually not my 

quickest match. I had a match go for 

8 seconds last year.” 

Going into the state meet at the 

Mizzou Arena in Columbia, McAteer 

said he was ready; he was mentally 

prepared, felt no pressure and 

no nerves. 

In his first match, he scored a pin 

in 24 seconds when he took down 

Lucas Pemberton, of Hallsville. He 

followed that with a win in 27 seconds 

over Zac Braun, of Lone Jack. 

In his semifinal match, McAteer went 

the distance in earning a 6-0 decision over 

Dallas Larsen, of Warsaw. 

That set up a match against Tristan Blair, 

of Lathrop, in the final. 

“I knew what I had to do,” McAteer said. 

“I felt like I knew that my other opponent 

was nervous going into the match, so that 

did give me a boost of confidence. 

Though he had never wrestled Blair 

before, it didn’t matter. McAteer was on a 

mission. 

“I ended up pinning him in the finals in 

52 seconds with a cradle,” McAteer said. 

“The match went by very quick. I was very 

calm and strategic going into the match.” 

If you blinked, you might have missed it, 

Sherertz said. 

Could McAteer have dreamed of a better 

way for his high school career to come to 

a close? 

“I believe it was a perfect ending,” McAteer 

said. “I would have liked to get all pins

throughout my bracket, but I am still grateful 

that I managed to win four times.” 

At state, McAteer was relentless. 

“He really upped his game. He was half 

the practice room wrestler that he was in 

a match,” Sherertz said. “He’s a game 

athlete. Mike was ready to go when the 

whistle blew.” 

As McAteer prepares to wrestle for 

Army, his success at state has given him 

the confidence to succeed at the next level. 

“This is very important to me because 

it shows me that I will be doing just fine 

at the Division 1 level when I wrestle 

for West Point next year,” McAteer said. 

“Coach has developed my style of wrestling 

to prepare me to wrestle in college. 

He has allowed me to become a smarter 

wrestler and make better decisions about 

my matches.” 

In his career, McAteer scored 14 points 

in his 16 state tournament matches. McAteer 

went 51-2 as a senior. In his four years, 

his record was 187-10. As a freshman, he 

was a spotless 49-0. 

“I think it has gone fast,” McAteer said, 

of his high school career. “I can remember 

very vividly when I was a freshman in the 

wrestling room with all the upperclassmen.” 

“He just has done such a great job,” Sherertz 

said. “He’ll thrive at West Point.”

later this month. 

The 6-foot-4, 175-pound senior guard 

led the Warriors to a 21-8 season and a trip 

to the Class 3 state quarterfinals. One year 

after leading the St. Louis metro area in 

scoring, Watson repeated the feat, averaging 

31 points along with 6.7 rebounds and 

2.8 assists per game. 

A four-time Class 3 All-State honoree, 

Watson eclipsed 2,500 points for his high 

school career, finishing with 2,755. 

Watson keeps busy away from the competitive 

arena as an active parishioner at 

the Peoples Community Christian Church 

and as an instructor at the Whitfield 

Summer Basketball Camp in addition to 

donating his time to charitable initiatives 

such as the No One Hungry program at 

Thanksgiving.

selected organization deserves additional 

support. 12 spotlight grants – one for each 

sport – will be announced throughout the 

year. 

High school hockey 

A big high school hockey tournament is 

coming to St. Louis. 

The 2018 America’s Showcase takes 

place April 19-23 in St. Louis and features 

more than 30 teams from over 20 states 

and regions across the United States. 

The tournament, which began in Chicago, 

has been held in Pittsburgh in recent years. 

This year’s Showcase team is open to any 

junior or senior currently playing in the 

Mid-States Club Hockey Association or 

the Mississippi Valley Club Hockey Association 

who is in good standing with their 

team and league, and who also participated 

in a minimum of 50 percent of their high 

school club’s games. Participants should 

be considering playing hockey after graduating 

high school. 

Team Missouri is highly regarded for 

consistently sending a very competitive 

team and again looks to do so in 2018. 

Many players from Missouri’s teams 

have received correspondence from organizations 

across the country and some still 

are playing on teams as a direct result of the 

Showcase. The teams from the recent past 

resulted in every player being contacted 

and offered an opportunity to continue 

hockey after high school. Some players 

have capitalized on those opportunities and 

currently are playing collegiate and junior 

hockey all over North America. 

This year, Team Missouri’s coaching 

staff consists of Reed Low, Jon Rogger and 

Chris Durso. 

Low’s passion and excitement toward 

the team and the opportunities it offers 

young men is unmatched. As a former Blue, 

Low fought, literally and figuratively, for 

every opportunity he was afforded in his 

professional career. He is a textbook late 

bloomer as a teenage player and his past 

experiences relate to the players. 

St. Louisan Rogger participated in the 

Showcase as a player in the mid-90’s and 

was given the opportunity to play Division 

1 hockey at Ferris State. Since coaching the 

Missouri Showcase team from 2006-2008, 

Rogger has coached as an assistant and 

head coach in the North American Hockey 

League and the U.S. Hockey League, and 

currently is with the Philadelphia Revolution 

Junior A Team of the Eastern Hockey 

League. Rogger’s knowledge and contacts 

on a national level are an asset to the players. 

Durso has been on the coaching staff for 

the Showcase team for the past three years. 

He currently is the varsity head coach at 

De Smet Jesuit and the director of player 

development for Missouri Hockey.

Meeting to help recruit 

referees scheduled 

The number of officials in all sports is 

declining and it has become a struggle to 

get new individuals to enter the vocation. 

With games being canceled due to lack of 

officials, and games being moved to dates 

when officials are available, the schools are 

taking notice. 

Parkway West Athletic Director Brian 

Kessler came up with an idea. 

A committee has been formed to deal 

with recruitment, retention and sportsmanship. 

The committee is headed by Kessler, 

Lafayette AD Todd Zell and Parkway West 

Assistant AD Annie Wayland. There are 

members of every conference in the metro 

area on the committee. 

The committee now is named St. Louis 

S.C.O.R.E.S, which stands for St. Louis 

Area Sportsmanship Committee and Official 

Retainment and Enlistment in Sports. 

The committee’s objectives include: promotion 

of sportsmanship in the athletic 

community by teaching and exemplifying 

respect and integrity at all levels of competition 

[players, coaches, officials]; recruitment 

of new officials; retaining current 

officials; and, along with MSHSAA, promote 

the value of participation, sportsmanship, 

team play and personal excellence to 

develop citizens who make positive contributions 

to their community and support the 

democratic principles of the state and the 

nation. 

An officials recruitment night for all 

sports takes place at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, 

April 4 at Parkway West High.

Johnson makes CBC history as first wrestler to win four state championships 


CBC senior Malik Johnson has made 

history with the Cadets’ wrestling program. 

Johnson won his weight class of 126 

pounds in the recent Class 4 state tournament 

at the Mizzou Arena in Columbia, 

marking Johnson’s fourth consecutive state 

championship. He is the first CBC wrestler 

to accomplish such a feat. 

“It feels pretty good,” Johnson said. “I 

did something that no one from my school 

had ever done before.” 

Johnson capped an undefeated season at 

30-0 when he earned a 7-5 decision over 

Seckman senior Cameron Fusco. 

They have wrestled each other every year 

for the district championship and for the 

state championship. Johnson won them all. 

“I don’t know if that’s ever happened 

before where two kids met every year for 

the championship,” CBC head wrestling 

coach Cornell Robinson said. “That’s crazy.” 

The two now will be teammates as they 

both head to the University of Missouri in 

the fall to wrestle. 

Johnson became one of just 29 four-time 

champions in Missouri wrestling history. 

“I was pretty determined to get it done,” 

Johnson said. “Not many people do it four 

Johnson 

times. I wanted it.” 

Johnson finished with a 141-11 record in 

his CBC career. 

“He’s well-deserving of winning four 

state championships,” Robinson said. “He 

put in the time to do it. He didn’t take any 

shortcuts. He wanted to win four times and 

he did.” 

There was pressure on Johnson. The 

expectation was for him to win, but he was 

not intimidated by that prospect. 

“All I had to do was wrestle,” Johnson 

said. “Earlier in the season, my stamina 

wasn’t very good. I got it up by state 

because that’s when it is important.” 

Johnson won by fall over Aedan Brady, 

of Waynesville, at 3 minutes, 59 seconds to 

begin his state tournament. 

“Going into the match, I knew I could 

beat him,” Johnson said. “It was just a 

matter of time when I could catch him. My 

constant pressure would eventually break 

him and it did.” 

In the quarterfinals, Johnson won by 

technical fall over Staley’s Brandon Borlinghaus 

in 5 minutes, 32 seconds. 

Johnson won by fall over Liberty’s Kage 

Lenger in 4 minutes, 23 seconds in the 

semifinals. 

“That match was harder,” Johnson said. 

“I didn’t think I was going to pin him. I was 

happy to get it.” 

That set up a rematch against Fusco. 

“I kind of was more confident going into 

this match. I’ve wrestled him a lot over the 

years and I have always come out on top,” 

Johnson said. “It was a good match. I knew 

what he did and I was prepared for him. I 

kept my pace up. I would not let him go.” 

“This match, it was all Malik,” Robinson 

said. “He had it all wrapped up. It was the 

only takedown he gave up all year.” 

Robinson was happy for Johnson. 

“It looked like he enjoyed himself,” Robinson 

said. “It was kind of sad, of course, for 

Fusco. I feel like I know Fusco really well. 

They’re joined at the hip. I think they’ll end 

up being really good friends [at Missouri].” 

Johnson credits Robinson with helping 

him grow in the sport. 

“[Robinson] is so dedicated,” Johnson 

said. “He’s been in the room all the time. 

He’s helped me a lot.” 

Robinson said he knew it would take 

work for Johnson to excel, but Johnson put 

in the time and the results followed. 

“He just came in and did what he does, 

he’s all about business,” Robinson said. 

“His mind remembers every situation 

and every scenario. He has an answer for 

everything on the mat. He’s a joy to watch.” 

Johnson now is looking forward to wrestling 

at the next level. 

“Missouri was the one school that talked 

to me the most,” Johnson said. “I really 

liked the campus. I like the coaches a lot. I 

think it’s a good fit for me.” 

Robinson is sad to see Johnson go, but 

knows he will excel at the Division I level. 

“We will definitely miss him wrestling 

for us. The one thing Malik is, is he’s a 

competitor. You won’t show him up in 

wrestling.”

CARDINALS SALUTE 2018 25 


2018 ST. LOUIS CARDINALS 

SEASON PREVIEW 

“Sometimes, you win. Sometimes, you lose. Sometimes, it rains.” 

– Ebby Calvin “Nuke” LaLoosh, from the classic baseball film “Bull Durham” 

It is with those words of existential 

wisdom that we kick off our 2018 St. Louis 

Cardinals Baseball Preview. Let’s be honest 

with ourselves, Redbird Nation, sometimes 

it does not just rain, it pours. Take, 

for example, when two of your most bitter 

rivals have won the two previous World 

Series [Cubs in 2016, Astros in 2017]. That 

certainly qualifies as a serious storm. 

But fear not, hometown fans, all is not lost. 

The clouds are parting and the sun is 

peaking through. To keep this overlong 

analogy running, the “sun” in this instance 

goes by the name of Marcell Ozuna. Ozuna 

joins our Cardinals as the most significant 

offseason addition of any team in the major 

league, in our opinion. But that is not the 

only bright spot for the 2018 Cardinals. 

While we did miss the playoffs last year, 

we identified two “new” players, who each 

ended last year as top five for their respective 

positions, notably Tommy Pham and 

Paul DeJong. Pitching phenom Anthony 

Reyes is set to return a month or so into the 

season, and a full year of Luke Weaver is a 

definite upgrade over Mike Leake. 

The Cardinals are built to be consistently 

competitive. We measure time in 

generations, not peaks and valleys. To put 

it another way, storms blow over pretty 

quickly around here. 

ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES 

Hey, does everybody remember when 

we were all so bummed out because Jason 

Heyward left town? If our editor would 

let us use emojis in our stories, we would 

insert the one where the bright yellow face 

laughs so hard it cries. Heyward went 

to Chicago and his offensive statistics 

drowned in Lake Michigan. 

This year’s version of Heyward seemingly 

comes in the form of Lance Lynn. He 

was a beloved Cardinal, mostly because 

of his bulldog-style of pitching and ability 

to eat innings like White Castle sliders. 

Where Lynn differs from Heyward, however, 

is that it doesn’t seem like the Redbirds 

wanted Lynn back at almost any price, 

no matter how bad his market cratered. 

The Cardinals front office seemed to value 

the draft pick compensation they received 

if he signed with another team more than 

they did Lance Lynn. That should tell us 

something. While Lynn’s simple metrics of 

wins and earned run average looked great 

[Lou Countryman photo] 

last year, his advanced metrics were concerning 

to say the least. 

Other ‘birds leaving the nest include Stephen 

Piscotty [traded to the Oakland A’s], 

Randall Grichuk [traded to the Toronto 

Blue Jays], Zach Duke, Seung Hwan Oh, 

Juan Nicasio and Trevor Rosenthal [all free 

agents]. There is more name recognition on 

that list than there is baseball importance, 

most likely. The only player that would 

have been very nice to hold on to was Juan 

Nicasio. There is no such thing as too many 

relief pitchers who can generate swings and 

misses. By the way, if you have not read all 

the back story behind why the Cardinals 

traded Stephen Piscotty to the Oakland A’s, 

you really should. It does the heart good. 

In regard to players added by the Cardinals, 

we already referenced that there was 

no more important addition than former 

Marlins outfielder Marcell Ozuna. Beyond 

the hard statistics, Ozuna provides the Cardinals 

with a very subjective element they 

lacked in their lineup last year: fear. 

While the Cardinals had a successful 

offensive team, there was no single 

player that opposing teams were necessarily 

afraid to pitch to. That element of 

fear trickles down and changes the way 

that every hitter is pitched to in the lineup. 

In the past, the Redbirds had Matt Holliday 

and Albert Pujols serving in that role. 

Despite the breakout performances from 

Pham and DeJong, and the strong power 

year from Dexter Fowler, there was not a 

single player in the 2017 lineup that would 

dictate how another team would pitch to 

the other players. Ozuna gives that to the 

2018 version of the Cardinals. 

Perhaps the most interesting addition of 

the offseason was starting pitcher Miles 

Mikolas. Mikolas was a massive success 

pitching in Japan and has electric stuff, but 

it remains to be seen how that stuff will 

translate to getting major league hitters out. 

Mikolas pitched in the big leagues before 

and, well, he ended up in Japan. 

Another key addition is presumptive 

closer Luke Gregerson. The Cardinals also 

added relievers Dominic Leone and Bud 

Norris, but it is Gregerson who is in line 

to become the next Cardinals closer. Gregerson 

is a veteran reliever who has had an 

up-and-down career, mostly serving as a 

setup man, but he has swing and miss stuff. 

This also is a good place to mention 

some critical additions to the Cardinals 

coaching staff. We certainly celebrate the 

return of “secret weapon” José Oquendo 

and the addition of fan favorite Wille 

McGee. Yet it is likely new pitching coach 

Mike Maddux who will have the greatest 

direct impact. Never mind. It always will 

be Oquendo who has the greatest impact, 

but Maddux has been a highly successful 

coach in the past and should be able to 

sculpt some of the Cardinals young pitchers 

into successful career superstars. 

KEY CONTRIBUTORS 

This is the part of the column where we 

talk about the contributions needed from 

some of the “old guys” on the Cardinals 

roster, but it is important to add one caveat: 

there is not a single active player on the 

Cardinals team who was alive in the 1970s. 

So, understand that when we say “old,” 

everything is relative, and we are speaking 

solely in terms of baseball years. 

Maybe we should say “veterans” instead? 

Yes, let’s use that. 

In order to have a successful 2018, the 

Cardinals need a big year from a few veterans. 

For the position players, the straws 

that stir the drink are Matt Carpenter and 

Yadier Molina. Carpenter had a down year 

last year, due largely to lingering injuries. 

This spring, he started with a troublesome 

back issue. If Carpenter is healthy and can 

return to his 2016 form, he can propel this 

team a long way. 

It seems every year we ask exactly how 

long Yadier Molina can keep producing 

at such an exceptionally high level. Mere 

mortal catchers eventually break down, but 

this is Yadi, not a mortal. While we hope 

he takes a few more days off this year [and 

lets his heir apparent Carson Kelly catch 

some games], we do not expect it. Rather, 

we fully expect Yadi to continue to be Yadi. 

On the pitching side, no Cardinal shoulders 

bear more responsibility than Adam 

Wainwright. He no longer is the best 

pitcher on the Cardinals staff, but he still is 

undeniably our “ace.” Just as Ozuna’s fear 

factor trickles through the rest of the lineup, 

Wainwright’s ability to get outs impacts the 

rest of the staff. There still is no Redbird 

pitcher we would rather see on the mound 

if we need to get a single out.

Yadier Molina knows there is no Fountain 

of Youth. Every ballplayer knows someday 

it must end, even for the great ones. 

Molina will turn 36 during the 2018 

season. He plans to catch for the Redbirds 

through 2020 when his current contract 

ends. Then, he can ride off into the sunset. 

“Three more years,” he said before spring 

training began. “That’s it.” 

The three-year, $60 million contract, 

which begins with the upcoming season, 

will be the last one he ever signs. He looks 

like he’ll be worth the investment. 

The ageless backstop is coming off a 

2017 campaign in which he experienced a 

surprising resurgence in power, posting the 

second-highest home run total [18] of his 

career and his best since the 2012 season. 

Molina hit .273. 

He accompanied the long-ball haul with 

a career-best 82 RBIs and even swiped 

nine bases, equaling the second-highest 

total of his long major-league tenure in that 

category as well. 

Molina appears slated to catch another 

130 to 140 games in the coming season, the 

norm for his career. His offseason workout 

routine also has not changed and he doesn’t 

like taking questions about how many 

games he can play. In fact, he’s reluctant 

to comment other than to insist he won’t 

change his mind about retiring in 2020 and 

that he’d like to crown a 17-year major 

league career with another World Series 

championship – or two, or three. 

“I can’t wait to grab that trophy in 

November or October,” he said. “I can’t 

wait. Three more trophies. Three more 

chances.” 

Molina said he is happy to have José 

Oquendo back as a Cardinals coach. The 

two are great friends. 

“I talk to Oquendo all the time. He’s 

like my brother and my dad,” Molina said. 

“He’s one of the best coaches I’ve ever had. 

We talk about baseball all the time. 24-7. 

We just try to figure out what we can do to 

win games. To do that with José, you have 

to be prepared first. You got to really want 

it. For me and José, we talk a lot. Where 

[are] we going to put this guy in this position? 

What pitch? We talk about baseball 

all the time and that’s an advantage. When 

you have a coach with that kind of experience, 

it’s great to have him on your team.” 

He believes Oquendo brings a lot to the 

2018 Cardinals. 

“Oquendo is a secret weapon,” Molina 

said. “We lose him for the last two years 

and we don’t make the playoffs. So hopefully 

with him on the bench and the work 

Molina says he plans to spend three more 

years behind the plate for the Cardinals. 


he puts in with the defense and the offense, 

we can get back in the playoffs. José, I 

mean, he likes to be everywhere. He talks 

to me during the game. He talks to the 

infield. He talks to the outfield. It’s going 

to be an advantage for us. We’ll have an 

advantage with José. He knows what he’s 

doing.” 

It’s been rare for a standout player to 

spend his entire career with the club. Of 

the 11 players and managers to have their 

numbers retired by the team, only Stan 

Musial and Bob Gibson played for the Cardinals 

from beginning to end. 

It might not have happened for Molina, 

who had a one-year, $15 million mutual 

option for 2018 built into his previous 

contract. After representing Puerto Rico in 

last year’s World Baseball Classic, Molina 

made it clear that not only would he not 

exercise the option, he was not afraid of 

free agency. 

But on the eve of Opening Day, word 

broke that Molina and the Cardinals would 

be paired through the 2020 season. 

Molina’s contract delays playing opportunity 

for Carson Kelly, 23, the organization’s 

second-rated prospect and No. 32 

overall according to Baseball America. 

He’s appeared in 44 games over the last 

two seasons and is expected to start the 

season as Molina’s backup. 

Kelly, who moved to St. Louis during 

the offseason, said he can bide his time for 

now. He is not concerned about having to 

wait for Molina to retire. 

“It’s just being ready when the opportunity 

presents itself,” Kelly said of his role 

for 2018. “Who knows what’s going to 

happen in the future? We can plan all we

The St. Louis Cardinals shook up their 

coaching staff after back-to-back years 

of not reaching the postseason. The hope 

is that St. Louis has re-energized its staff 

by adding two ex-Cardinals players and a 

well-respected pitching coach for 2018. 

Manager Mike Matheny recognized the 

need for changes after an 

83-win season. 

“We need to be growing,” 

Matheny said. “We need to 

be constantly searching for 

excellence, and I think as 

you bring in great people, 

you create an atmosphere 

where that’s more likely to 

happen.” 

José Oquendo is the 

new third base coach. 

Willie McGee will serve 

in a myriad of roles. Mike 

Maddux is the new pitching 

coach and former third 

base coach Mike Shildt 

is the new bench coach. 

Bryan Eversgerd, the Cardinals 

Triple-A pitching 

coach, has been promoted 

to bullpen coach. 

Oquendo 

“We feel that by bringing in the experience, 

past successes and baseball savvy 

these three gentlemen [Oquendo, McGee 

and Maddux] possess, our major league 

coaching staff will be a strong benefit 

to our ballclub,” Cardinals President of 

Baseball Operations John Mozeliak said. 

“Whether it’s coaching, teaching, game 

analysis, game planning, these three men 

bring a wealth of knowledge and experience 

to our team.” 

Oquendo, 54, who had stepped aside as 

the team’s third base coach just prior to the 

2016 season due to health reasons, returns 

to the major league staff after serving as 

special assistant to the general manager in 

2017. 

Oquendo spent 16 seasons as the Cardinals 

third base coach [2000-15] and 

was the team’s major league bench coach 

in 1999 after spending the 1997 and 1998 

seasons working in the farm system for 

St. Louis. The “secret weapon” enjoyed a 

17-year professional playing career, including 

stints in the majors with the New York 

Mets [1983-84] and St. Louis Cardinals 

[1986-1995]. He was voted as the top utility 

man on the All-Busch Stadium II team 

in 2005. 

A native of Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, 

Oquendo served as manager for Puerto 

Rico in both the 2006 and 2009 World 

Baseball Classics and for the World Team 

in the 2009 MLB Futures Game. 

Oquendo, who has had two operations 

on his left knee and both micro-fracture 

surgery and a replacement procedure on 

his right, said he came back largely because 

Mozeliak and Matheny asked him to return. 

He said it was an easy decision. 

“I really missed being out there [at third 

base],” Oquendo said, noting that he wants 

to “see if we can win some 

games and get back in the 

playoffs.” 

McGee, 59, joins the 

major league coaching staff 

for the first time, having 

spent the 2013-17 seasons 

serving as a special assistant 

to the general manager. 

A member of the St. 

Louis Cardinals Hall of 

Fame, McGee enjoyed a 

banner career that included 

National League MVP 

honors in 1985, two league 

batting titles [1985 and 

1990], four All-Star Game 

selections [1983, 1985, 

1987 and 1988] and three 

Rawlings Gold Glove 

awards [1983, 1985 and 

1986]. 

After breaking onto the scene in a big 

way during the Cardinals World Series win 

in 1982, the switch-hitting McGee went on 

to spend 18 years in the majors with the 

Cardinals [1982-90 and 1996-99], Oakland 

A’s [1990], San Francisco Giants [1991-94] 

and Boston Red Sox [1995], accumulating 

2,254 hits, 352 stolen bases and a .295 

career batting mark. 

“If you’ve held Willie McGee on a high 

pedestal, I’ll tell you that you haven’t built 

it high enough,” Matheny said. “He’s such 

a sneaky teacher. He’ll tell you something, 

and it has so much wisdom to it. He doesn’t 

waste words. He doesn’t waste people’s 

time.” 

McGee will be away from his eight 

grandchildren this summer, but his 

15-year-old son and his wife of more than 

30 years, Vivian, will spend time with him 

in St. Louis this summer. He said he’s glad 

to be a coach for the Cardinals. 

“It’s always been in me as a ‘giver,’” 

McGee said. “I’ve got all this experience 

baseball-wise and life-wise in me to give 

back. They can call me at 8 o’clock at night 

and I can try to get a key to get down here 

[to the Cardinals facility] and help them 

do what they want to do to be better as a 

baseball player.” 

Maddux, 56, most recently was with the

Advancements in Orthopedics and Reparative Medicine 

An interview with local board certified orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Andrew 

Spitzfaden, sheds light on advancements in orthopedics and reparative 

medicine. 

Missouri is home to many people participating in sporting activities. Whether it’s 

the young athlete participating in high school sports or the adult weekend warrior 

athlete, more activities yields more injuries. 

Thankfully, Dr. Andrew Spitzfaden and the physicians at Woods Mill 

Orthopedics are up to date on the 

advancements in orthopedic care 

for joint issues ranging from acute 

sports injuries to chronic conditions 

such as degenerative joint disease. 

“Many patients are suffering from 

orthopedic pain and are not ready 

for invasive surgery like a total joint 

replacement. They are also looking 

for longer lasting alternatives to 

cortisone injections. Other nonsurgical 

options often do not provide 

the best long lasting relief. Many 

of my patients were becoming 

frustrated with the duration of relief 

other non-surgical options were 

providing.” 

Dr. Spitzfaden developed an early 

interest in emerging technologies in 

orthopedic medicine 

Dr. Spitzfaden was born and 

Dr. Andrew Spitzfaden 

raised in St. Louis. He attended 

medical school at the University of 

Missouri-Columbia and completed 

his orthopedic surgery residency at St. Louis University. He has been in practice for 

over 12 years and is the team physician for local high school MICDS. 

“Cortisone shots are often the “go to” option for arthritis type pain in joints. These 

shots can be quite effective, but may also be short lived. And they also carry with 

them risks of side effects (elevated blood sugar, blood pressure control issues, and 

can be deleterious to the normal joint tissue). We monitor the frequency of cortisone 

injections in joints because too much can adversely affect the joint’s normal tissue 

(cartilage, tendon). This is why using an individual’s own tissue to help them heal 

is appealing.” 

“Orthopedic medicine has advanced a ton over last 15 years with regards to 

reparative medicine. Using an individual’s fat is a fascinating concept because we are 

using one’s own tissue to help with healing.” 

Dr. Andrew Spitzfaden is the first physician in Missouri to use the Lipogems 

system where a patient’s own fat tissue is used to help support the reconstruction, 

repair, or replacement of damaged or injured tissue. “Most don’t realize the power of 

fat. It’s a strange concept, but fat is loaded with reparative cells that can assist with 

muscle and joint conditions.” 

The Power of Fat 

“Fat has excellent reparative properties and in my experience the harvesting 

process from patients is much more comfortable in comparison to other cell and 

tissue harvesting techniques” 

Inside of your own fat, there are many different types of cells that are used for 

healing (including pericytes, adipose derived stem cells, adipocytes, etc). These cells 

need to stay together to work as a functional unit. Fat is crucial for your health 

and the reparative cells help to promote a healing environment in response to a 

tissue injury. It’s important to note that your fat maintains the reparative properties, 

unlike other tissues such as bone marrow, which may lose healing capacity with age. 

Simple and Minimally Invasive Procedure 

Fat is usually harvested from around the belly area. If more is needed, the love 

handles can be used. The entire Lipogems procedure usually takes less than an hour 

and is performed in an office setting using local anesthesia. A tiny puncture through 

your skin is made and a small section of fat from either your midsection or “love 

handles” is harvested. The collected fat is then processed in the special Lipogems 

device using sterile saline solution. This occurs through a very gentle process 

called micro-fragmentation, during which your fat is washed, rinsed, and resized 

into smaller clusters while maintaining the natural beneficial properties of your fat. 

Blood, inflammatory cells, and fatty oils are removed as the desirable remainder of 

your fat is concentrated. The resulting tissue is injected into the treatment site. The 

Lipogems difference is that the cells inside of your own powerful fat stay intact and 

act harmoniously in the body to repair, restructure, replace to cushion and support 

the tissue during the repair, replacement, or reconstruction of damaged or injured 

tissue. 

Dr. Spitzfaden states, “My patients say the pain is around a 1-2 on the pain scale 

and is much easier than getting a cavity filled at the dentist.” 

“It’s always a great thing when patients follow up in my office with the ability to 

live their lives, especially when other treatments were unsuccessful.” 

Working Together to Find A Solution That’s Right For You 

“I chose to include the Lipogems procedure into my practice because as an 

orthopedic surgeon, I want to offer all treatment options for joint pain. Whether 

a simple non-surgical option or a total joint replacement, I will do my best to help 

the patient decide what fits best with their lifestyle and current medical situation.” 

“I always think it is important to cover all non-surgical options first with my 

patients. A patient should never be pressured into a total joint surgery. Over the 

years, I’ve found that patients really appreciate understanding all of their options 

when it comes to joint disease. Adding the Lipogems procedure as a treatment 

option has given patients another choice when it comes to managing their joint and 

muscle conditions.” 

Treat the Patient not the X-Ray 

“A physician should never meet a patient for the first time, look at their xray and 

immediately tell them they need a total joint replacement. It’s crucial to understand 

the patient’s medical history, activity level, and individual goals of treatment before 

making a final treatment plan. In other words, treat the entire patient, not just the 

xray.” 

Jake C’s Personal Story 

“Dr. Spitzfaden wasn’t my original doctor and I was 

told I needed a total knee replacement but I wasn’t 

ready for one. I’m a young guy and definitely searching 

for another option. I met with Dr. Spitzfaden and we 

discussed my options. The other practices I spoke with 

discussed options that would be much more expensive 

— up to $9,000. 

When Dr. Spitzfaden told me about using my own 

fat to help with my knee symptoms, it actually made 

sense to me. I was told the procedure was minimally 

invasive and that everything would be completed 

in one visit. The cost was much less than the other 

practices I spoke with. 

During the procedure the belly discomfort was minimal 

(1 out of 10). My recovery was simple and at 8 months out my results are still pretty 

impressive. I’m thrilled to be back at my normal activity level with minimal discomfort. 

Overall, I am very impressed and pleased with the Lipogems procedure. Hopefully my results 

last for a while, but if I need it again in the future, I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.”

Marcell Ozuna and Mike Matheny share 

a common goal: get to the post season. 

Adding a player like Ozuna will help. 

The former Miami Marlin described the 

Cardinals as “a good team that may get in 

the playoffs.” 

“That team [the Cardinals] fights every 

year for the playoffs. That, I like,” he said. 

Matheny likes Ozuna. “I think our 

organization did a great job of being very 

aggressive, even kind of outside our norm 

[in aquiring the two-time All-Star selection],” 

Matheny said. His 

addition bolsters both the Cardinals 

offense and defense. 

Last season, the 27-year-old 

outfielder batted .312 with 37 

home runs and 124 RBIs for 

the Marlins. He had a .376 

on-base percentage, a .548 

slugging average and an OPS 

of .924. All were career bests. 

He also earned a Gold Glove 

Award – his first. 

The Cardinals acquired 

Ozuna in exchange for minor 

league outfielder Magneuris 

Sierra and pitching prospects 

Sandy Alcantara, Zac Gallen 

and Daniel Castano. 

“I think the most interesting 

internal debates we’ve had is 

when you look at our position 

players. They’re all good, but 

we needed great,” Cardinals 

President of Baseball Operations 

John Mozeliak said. Marcell Ozuna 

“We were able to do that with 

Ozuna and we think ... he’s going to pull 

some people up with him. 

“Whenever I watched him, I was like, 

‘He could be so good.’ What do great 

players do that other players don’t? When 

they do things, they make it look easy. He 

always had a quick bat, would hit the ball 

hard, and I always just sort of wondered 

why he didn’t do more. Clearly, last year, 

he did.” 

The outfielder from the Dominican 

Republic set career-bests nearly across 

the board last year – and he did so while 

playing largely in the shadow of former 

teammate Giancarlo Stanton and his major 

league-best 59 home runs. As good as 

Ozuna was offensively last season, he also 

won the Gold Glove in left field – where 

he’ll play with the Cardinals in an outfield 

that’s expected to feature Tommy Pham in 

center and Dexter Fowler in right. 

Pitcher Adam Wainwright is glad to see 

Ozuna sporting a Cardinals uniform. 

“I love having him. Looking back at our 




Ozuna makes winning look easy 

game with the Marlins last year, we patterned 

our game around Ozuna,” Wainwright 

said. “I mean they had some great 

young players but, at the time, he was the 

hottest guy in that lineup. He’s improved 

so much over the last two years. He’s an 

incredibly big, strong guy. 

“Talent-wise, he is one of the best hitters 

in the National League and one of the 

toughest outs in the National League.” 

Starter Luke Weaver is glad he doesn’t 

have to pitch to Ozuna anymore. 

“He’s a stud,” Weaver said. “I don’t want 

to face him.” 

[Bill Greenblatt/UPI photo] 

Tommy Pham added, “I was in Florida 

when I heard about it and I was pumped. 

He killed us. He killed us this past season. 

He hit all of our pitchers and he used the 

whole field. He won a Gold Glove. He’s 

a guy who can impact the game not only 

offensively but defensively.” 

Ozuna’s longtime friends Yadier Molina 

and Carlos Martinez have long teased him 

about bringing his skills to St. Louis. 

“Marcell Ozuna is one of the best players 

in the National League,” Molina said. “I’m 

happy with that.” 

For his part, Ozuna said he feels no 

added pressure as the big bat to the middle 

of the lineup. 

“There’s no pressure. Just play the game, 

enjoy the game and have fun,” Ozuna 

said. “If you have fun and your family is 

OK, you’re going to play well ... Being in 

the lineup is the best part. Hitting eighth 

or leadoff, it’s being in the lineup that’s 

important to me. Playing every day makes 

me feel happy.”

If you liked what Tommy Pham did in 

2017, get ready. With 23 homers and 25 

stolen bases in 128 games last year, Pham 

has distinguished himself as one of six 

players in franchise history to reach the 

20-20 benchmark. But he’s not satisfied. 

“I’m very excited ... to continue to 

develop as a player,” said Pham, who will 

play in center field this year as Dexter 

Fowler moves to right. 

He wants to play 150 games and elevate 

his game defensively by improving his 

speed. He also sees a 30-30 season in his 

future – something never before accomplished 

by a Cardinal in home runs and 

stolen bases in the same season. 

“I want to contribute in all aspects of the 

game,” Pham said. “People only look at 

hitting, [but] you still have to play defense 

and you have to run the bases. … I believe 

that I could be a really special player ... I 

just need time to show it.” 

In 2017, Pham became the Cardinals best 

offensive player, hitting .306/.411/.520 

with 23 home runs and 25 steals in his first 

full big league season. 

“You can say what you want about me, 

but this is ... an industry based off production. 

My production always said I 

belonged in the big leagues. I don’t care 

what anyone said, the numbers backed it 

up. I was one of three players that had that 

season,” Pham said. 

By “that season,” Pham means a year 

in which he was one of three players in 

the majors to post a slash line of at least 

.300/.400/.500 with at least 20 home runs and 

20 stolen bases. Joining him were American 

League MVP Award winner José Altuve 

and two-time AL MVP Award winner Mike 

Trout. That’s impressive company. 

The icing on the cake is that Pham is the 

only player in Cardinals history to reach all 

of those plateaus in a single season. 


Pham: ‘driven, determined, hungry’ 


“Personally, I think I’m a 30-30 player,” 

Pham said about hitting home runs and 

stealing bases in one season. “I probably 

would have gotten it [in 2017] if I was up 

all year. I had more than 30 bases if you 

count Triple A and the big leagues. I fell 

maybe a couple home runs shy of it. 

No player in the Cardinals 126-year history 

with the National League has had 30 

homers and 30 stolen bases in the same 

season. In 1998, Ray Lankford had 31 

homers but came four steals shy of 30-30. 

Pham is working to make it happen. 

“I’m focusing on my speed to really elevate 

my game defensively,” Pham said. “If 

I’m faster, I’ll catch more balls. If I catch 

more balls, I’ll save more runs for the team. 

That’s the name of the game – preventing 

runs and scoring runs.” 

Pham is not afraid of letting the world 

know what he wants to accomplish. 

“I feel like a lot of people don’t believe 

anything I say,” Pham said. “After I do it, 

it’s easier for me to be like ‘I told you so.’ I 

told [Pro/Spur owner] John Hartwig I was 

a 20-20 player in 2012 when I was hurt 

after my right labrum surgery. I said I could 

have an over 900 OPS in the big leagues. I 

did that. He wrote it down. I wrote it down. 

No one else would have believed it but he 

did and Vuch [John Vuch, Cardinals director 

of operations] did.” 

Setting goals is important, Pham said. 

He said Hartwig and some of his teammates 

told him “if you write something 

down, you’re 30 percent more likely to 

achieve it.” 

“I can’t speak for anyone but myself, but 

my mindset is always the same. I’m very 

driven, determined and hungry,” Pham 

said. “We missed the playoffs the last two 

seasons and it’s something we’re all trying 

to get back to. We love to play baseball in 

October. It doesn’t feel the same without 

us in it.” 

Although he was a relative newcomer 

last season, Pham became a clubhouse 

leader – a vocal one according to pitcher 

Adam Wainwright. 

“Tommy stood up in the middle of the 

clubhouse and started yelling at folks,” 

Wainwright said. “Guys were looking at 

me like, ‘Are you going to do something 

to stop him?’ I was like, ‘Man, absolutely 

not.’ I love that about this guy. He brings 

an attitude to our team that we need.” 

Luke Weaver says Pham “means business.” 

“The way he dresses. The way he talks. 

The way he walks. That’s Tommy Pham,” 

Weaver said. “Yadier [Molina] is the godfather 

but Pham is following closely down 

that road. He’s just a great guy to have 

around. There’s always something to take 

away from what he’s doing.”

If there is anything St. Louis pitcher 

Adam Wainwright wants to do this season, 

it’s prove he still can be a 

productive pitcher for the 

Cardinals. 

“In my mind, I’m still 

fighting to be the No. 1 

pitcher in the game still. 

That’s what I want to be 

and that’s what I want to 

think of myself,” Wainwright 

said. “I’m confident 

in my talent and abilities. 

That’s how I get the most 

out of doing it and thinking 

it that way. Now, I know I 

have some things to prove.” 

The veteran righty, who is set to make 

$19.5 million in this final year of his fiveyear 

contract, holds a disappointing 4.81 

ERA over the last two seasons. 

At 36, Wainwright is a three-time All- 

Star and the one-time ace of the Cardinals, 

the only major league team he’s 

ever pitched for. He owns 146 wins in his 

12-year career, but he hasn’t won more 


Waino ‘the warrior’ is ready to get 

back to the top of the mound 

Wainwright [Lou Countryman photo] 

than 13 games since winning 20 in 2014. 

He’s candid about last season. 

“Last year didn’t go well. I was injured 

in the second half last year and it was just 

ugly,” Wainwright said. He 

had arthroscopic surgery 

on his right elbow last 

October. The procedure 

involved the trimming of 

some cartilage. As far as 

elbow surgeries go, it was 

relatively minor. Wainwright 

needed six weeks of 

rehab, but after that, there 

were no restrictions. 

“My rehab has gone as 

completely smooth as possible,” 

Wainwright said. 

“Doctors and trainers did

Old Paper Money 

Michael Wilke, owner 

Mike Says... 

“Younger generations are not necessarily 

interested in inheriting items. Don’t let your items 

continue to lose value over time – let Manchester 

Coin & Jewelry help with your collectibles now. 

Clearing out a lifetime of clutter is daunting, try one 

drawer – or one room – at a time. ” 

“Unlike other buyers, Manchester Coin & Jewelry 

assesses fine jewelry and watches in terms of 

resale, not meltdown value.” 

“You can bring me a violin or a guitar and 

some gold and an old toy and some military 

memorabilia and a big diamond – and we’ll buy 

it all”

Organize your cherished memories! 

Let Memvio preserve them through stunning, custom-made scrapbooks! 

With photos and videos primarily captured on cell 

phones these days, rarely developed and often forgotten 

about, it’s possible we are becoming a “lost generation” 

– a generation whose photo and video memories won’t 

be passed on. The lack of printed photographs could 

prove to be devastating to the chronicling of our lives. 

Memvio is here to help. 

Preserving treasured memories 

Shari Nelson’s full-service scrapbooking, picture 

video and digitization business, Memvio, is the only 

service of its kind in the area. Designed for “the busy 

person,” Memvio preserves precious memories that are 

otherwise becoming lost, forgotten, damaged or dated. 

Memvio’s services include hand-crafted scrapbooks, 

personalized with hand-made embellishments that can’t 

be found at a craft store; digital scrapbooks, each with its 

own original layout that doesn’t come from a template; 

amazing and unique picture video montages, paired 

with perfectly chosen music; conversions of any format 

of old film, audio or video to DVD or Blu Ray; and 

refurbishment of damaged photos, slides or negatives. 

Memvio is the answer for that hard-to-shop-for, 

very special person in your life. Its services are good 

for all occasions: weddings, wedding anniversaries, 

memorials, births, birthdays, 

graduations, special occasions, 

life’s accomplishments ... the list 

goes on. 

“I feel that Memvio brings 

an opportunity for our clients to 

never be forgotten and, through 

photos, live on from generation 

to generation,” Shari, who began 

scrapbooking 32 years ago, said. “Scrapbooking at that 

time was my hobby, my ‘me’ time. Once I got my five 

kiddos to bed and had some quiet time, I would sit down 

in my basement studio and become totally immersed 

going down memory lane. Often, before I knew it, the 

sun was coming up.” 

Shari’s children’s scrapbooks have become treasures 

shared, laughed and smiled over with friends, family 

and significant others. Shari’s creative talents began to 

gain notoriety and, eventually, she realized her clientele 

often consisted of the busy working parent that had the 

desire to enjoy their family photos, but no time to make 

it happen. 

“I received so many requests to scrapbook and create 

photo montages that my hobby grew into a full-time 

job,” Shari said. 

From basement to brick-and-mortar 

Shari’s business grew so large that she opened her 

own store, located in Ballwin, in 2017. 

One of Memvio’s most popular services, the Baby- 

To-Grad program, documents a child’s life through 

scrapbooks from the moment they are born until their 

IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR 

WEDDINGS - BABIES - GRADUATIONS 

18th birthday. Shari believes there is no better gift you 

could give your child. 

“I challenge myself and my entire Memvio creative 

team to create every Memvio project as perfect and 

unique as possible,” Shari said. 

Each customer is carefully matched with a designer, 

who then interviews the client so the project can be 

exactly tailored to their desires. The designers work 

closely with the client, letting them be as involved with 

or removed from the process as they wish. Clients can 

be sent sample pages for approval, making sure they are 

100-percent happy before moving forward, or choose to 

be surprised. 

“We have yet to have a customer who was not thrilled 

with their product,” Shari noted. 

Available for purchase [included with larger albums] 

is a beautiful, custom-made wooden memory box for 

safe keeping of your album(s). Larger pieces of furniture, 

custom-made to hold several scrapbooks, such as coffee, 

hallway and end tables, also are available. 

Memvio transforms your memories into masterpieces 

and, “voilá, immortality!”

Brought to you by the letter ‘W’ – 

Wacha, Weaver and wins 

The “W” boys – Michael Wacha and 

Luke Weaver – will be key figures in the 

pitching staff this season for the St. Louis 

Cardinals. 

The 6-foot-6, 215-pound Wacha, 26, 

enters this season as the Cardinals No. 2 

starter. Last season, he went 12-9 with a 

4.13 ERA. He threw 165 2/3 innings, his 

most since he threw 181 1/3 in 2015. 

“I was confident going into last season,” 

Wacha said. “I had a full season where I felt 

strong and made all my starts. That adds to 

the confidence going into this season. I can’t 

ask for much more. I’ve been getting a lot of 

good workouts in. I’m ready for 2018.” 

The key for Wacha was, and is, remaining 

healthy. 

“My goals for this season are to be 

healthy again and make as many starts as 

I can,” Wacha said. He would like to be a 

pitcher who can go deep into games. If he 

can do that, he can reach 200 innings in a 

season. But Wacha is not going to put any 

numbers out there for himself. 

“I’m trying to go out there and go as long 

as I can,” Wacha said. “I’m just trying to 

do the best I can and make all the starts I 

can and go as deep into a game as I can and 

be as effective as possible. Try not to wear 

out the bullpen too much.” 

He said there are several ways to be able 

to pitch seven or eight innings or even have 

a complete game. “Attacking the strike 

zone more often, getting early outs, there’s 

a lot of different ways to go deeper into a 

game. It’s a tough job. I’m working on it.” 

The same goes for Weaver. He would 

like to log more innings. 

Weaver, 24, went 7-2 as a rookie in 2017 

and impressed many with his ability. He 

posted a 3.88 ERA and 72/17 K/BB ratio 

Luke Weaver 

Michael Wacha 

in 60 1/3 innings over 10 starts and three 

relief appearances in the majors last season. 

“Yeah, there’s a lot to build off that,” 

Weaver said. “Even in the bad outings, just 

knowing how to take that after some good 

ones and just jumping back on that horse 

and keep going. There’s a lot to learn from 

last year.” 

There’s going to be more of Weaver to 

like this season, too. He went into spring 

training weighing 184 pounds. 

“The coaches wanted me to put on some 

pounds,” Weaver said. “It doesn’t come 

very easy for me [but] I’ve been able to 

gain 10 to 15 pounds. Hopefully, that will 

add some durability and some endurance. 

Who knows? I feel like I’m in the best 

shape ever. I’m stronger and quicker. As a 

whole, I’m excited.” 

Gaining weight can be tough for a slim 

person. Weaver sought help to achieve his 

goal. Now, he’s in the weight room trying 

to stay strong. 

He has never thrown more than 138 

innings in a season before, but he’ll be 

facing some big expectations in his first 

full season in the Cardinals rotation. But 

his expectations are the same. “I don’t ever 

want to get complacent,” Weaver said. “I 

just want to go in with a lot of confidence 

and know I still have to make an impact 

on the coaches and let them know they’ve 

made a good choice to have me in there.” 

Wacha wants to put all he has learned 

into the upcoming season. 

“The knowledge of the game and my 

repertoire, I would definitely say I’m a 

better pitcher now,” Wacha said. “I know 

more about the game. I know more about 

hitters’ tendencies. I have so much more 

knowledge. I’d definitely say I’m a better 

pitcher now.”

If there’s one baseball topic guaranteed 

to start a good back-and-forth among Cardinals 

fans, it’s where first baseman Matt 

Carpenter should bat in the lineup. 

Carpenter likes hitting leadoff. But he 

doesn’t decide the lineup. That’s Mike 

Matheny’s job and Carpenter takes it all in 

stride. 

“Wherever Mike tells me to,” Carpenter 

said about where he will hit this season. 

“That’s something I’ve said 1,000 times 

and people still don’t believe me. They 

know I’m knocking on Mike’s door every 

day begging to hit leadoff. I’m just not. I 

end up there every year because that’s kind 

of how the chips fall. 

“I think, and I’ve had long conversations 

with Mike this offseason about this, 

this year more than ever that we have a 

lot of guys who can do that [lead off] and 

do it well. Between Dexter [Fowler] and 

Tommy [Pham] and event Kolten [Wong], 

there’s more than enough guys for that 

position. I think maybe you’ll see a new 

face there. Time will tell. I’ll do whatever 

is asked of me.” 

This spring, Carpenter has been battling 

back tightness. Last year, the threetime 

All-Star also suffered from back and 

oblique soreness. Matheny said he believes 

Carpenter’s preseason injuries can be 

attributed to his tenacious spring regimen. 

“This is like Disney World for a baseball 

rat – spring training,” Matheny said, “You 

come down, you can work all you want, 

the sun is shining, you use these beautiful 

facilities, you’ve got every single coach 

and every trainer at your disposal.” 

At least the injury will force Carpenter to 

get some rest. Matheny said that might help 

stave off fatigue later in the season. “This 

could be one of those blessings in disguise,” 

he said. 

A career .277 hitter, Carpenter experienced 

a dip last year when he hit .241 with 

23 homers and 69 RBIs. Shoulder issues 

derailed the second half of Carpenter’s 

2017 campaign. Thankfully, they didn’t 

require offseason surgery. 

This year, he’s looking for better things but 

said he doesn’t think he hits better at leadoff. 

“There [are] natural flows in the season. 

You go up. You go down. You have highs. 

You have lows. A lot of that is circumstantial. 

So I don’t buy the whole ‘I can’t hit as 

well in other positions’ talk that comes up,” 

Carpenter said. “I just don’t think I’ve had 

enough opportunity in those other spots to 

be able to give a good explanation for it. 

Going forward, I’m excited to have that 

chance and we’ll see how it plays out.” 


Carpenter predicts he may not 

leadoff in talent-packed lineup 

Matt Carpenter 


He said he takes pride in his ability to 

draw walks. That means he’s on base as a 

potential RBI for someone. 

“Really, when you have the ability to get on 

base, you put pressure on the opposing pitching 

staff,” Carpenter said. “We’ve got three 

guys and, however it falls, we can get on base 

really well. It will put pressure on pitching 

staffs to throw strikes, not to walk us. 

“When they worry about walking guys, 

they leave balls over the middle and you 

can clean up on that.” 

That good lineup could help propel the 

Cardinals back into the postseason. 

“The St. Louis Cardinals are expected to 

be in the playoffs,” Capenter said. “With 

the way our division is, I wouldn’t imagine 

for a second our organization would stand 

pat and not make efforts to get up back in 

the playoffs.” 

At 32, Carpenter is one of the “old” guys 

on the team. He doesn’t mind at all. 

“Yeah, my wife and I were looking at the 

roster and I’m one of the old guys now,” 

Carpenter said. “I feel like I just got here. 

That’s the way the game is now. Time flies 

as we all know. It’s fun to have these young 

players who bring so much excitement.” 

That excitement only gets sweeter in 

October. 

“Look, every year we go into the spring 

with the thought of winning a World Series. 

For two straight years, we’ve been short of 

getting into postseason,” Carpenter said. 

“We’ve got a lot of guys used to playing 

deep into October so that hunger is driving 

us this year. There’s a lot of new faces who 

haven’t experienced a lot of the postseason 

some of us have. 

“There’s enough guys like myself, and 

Adam [Wainwright] and Yadi [Molina] 

who are pushing these guys to perform and 

compete and, hopefully, that group will 

start heading to where we want to go – and 

that’s October.”

want, but we never know what’s going to 

happen until it actually happens. 

“I think this offseason and simplifying 

my game and my workouts and putting 

myself in this city has opened up a lot of 

doors for me.” 

The organization also has talented catcher 

Andrew Knizner waiting in the wings. 

Molina is an eight-time National League 

All-Star who won seven consecutive Gold 

Glove Awards between 2008 and 2015. He 

joined the Cardinals in time for its 2004 

National League pennant run and replaced 

current manager Mike Matheny as the 

team’s everyday catcher. 

“I realize I’m playing for one of the best 

More than just defense, Molina also has been 

strong at bat. 


COACHING STAFF, from page 28 

Washington Nationals, where he held the 

same position for the past two seasons. 

Over the past 15 seasons, he also served 

as pitching coach of the Texas Rangers and 

Milwaukee Brewers. 

Prior to moving into a coaching role, 

Maddux, the older brother of Hall of Fame 

pitcher Greg Maddux, pitched 15 years in 

the majors with nine organizations. 

With the Nationals, Maddux guided the 

pitching staff to a 3.69 ERA during his 

two seasons – fourth-best in the majors 

over that span – while the starters’ ERA 

was 3.61, which ranked second only to the 

Cubs. With 2016 Cy Young Award winner 

and Parkway Central graduate Max Scherzer, 

Stephen Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez 

in the rotation, the Nationals averaged 9.08 

strikeouts per nine innings under Maddux’s 

watch. 

Mozeliak said hiring Maddux was an 

easy choice. “He always seems to get 

the most out of his pitchers. It was a nobrainer,” 

Mozeliak said. 

Maddux replaced Derek Lilliquist, 

whose contract with the Cardinals was 




catchers in baseball history,” Cardinals 

starting pitcher Adam Wainwright said at 

the 60th annual Baseball Writers of America 

St. Louis dinner. “I truly believe I throw 

every day to the best catcher the game has 

ever seen.” 

Molina was the first National League 

player to win the Rawlings Platinum Glove, 

awarded to the best defensive player at 

any position in each league. He is one of 

just two players to win it more than once, 

having claimed the honor in 2011, 2012, 

2014 and 2015. 

He’s a contributor on offense as well. His 

best season arguably was in 2013, when he 

hit a career-best .319 with 12 home runs and 

80 RBIs. He hit 22 home runs the year prior. 

When retirement comes, Molina said 

he’ll enjoy his family. He also managed 

the Puerto Rico team in last year’s World 

Baseball Classic and said he enjoyed that 

experience. 

“It was fun. It was hard, too, to please 20, 

22 guys,” Molina said. “It was hard but at 

the same time, it was fun. I learned a lot. 

You have to do different stuff from when 

you are a player.” 

Would he like to manage in the major 

leagues? 

“I don’t know,” Molina said. 

Reminded that managers must meet with 

the media daily, Molina laughed. 

“Now in that case, well, no. I’m sorry,” 

Molina said while laughing. Then, conceded, 

“It’s still too early to decide that 

now.” 

not renewed after St. Louis failed to make 

the postseason for the second consecutive 

season – the first time that has happened 

since 2007-08. 

Maddux said he is glad to be with the 

organization. 

“I was flattered when they reached out,” 

Maddux said. “I’ve always looked at the 

Cardinals as the Yankees of the National 

League. They were always the team everyone 

wanted to beat because they were 

always beating everybody else.” 

Shildt, 48, who has been a member of the 

Cardinals organization since 2004, spent 

last season serving as the team’s quality 

control coach and third base coach. 

Shildt, who managed for eight seasons 

in the Cardinals farm system at Memphis 

[2015-16], Springfield [2012-14] and 

Johnson City [2009-2011], was voted 

the recipient of the highly distinguished 

George Kissell Award in 2010, which 

honors excellence in player development. 

Eversgerd, 48, spent the past five seasons 

as pitching coach for Triple-A Memphis 

following stints with Double-A Springfield 

[2008-09 and 2011-12] and several Class 

A affiliates.

WAINWRIGHT, from page 34 

pitch of the World Series.” 

He says he isn’t thinking about retirement. 

He also isn’t pondering a contract 

extension. Those thoughts, he insists, will 

come at another time. 

“To put it plainly, I’ve got one more year 

on my contract that I’m going to give every 

single thing I have to. We’ll see what happens,” 

Wainwright said. “Let me just say 

this, it would be great for me if everyone 

would – I don’t know if ‘respect’ is the 

right word – if everyone would embrace 

the idea that I love being a St. Louis Cardinal, 

love my time here and I really want 

to get the most out of what I’m doing here 

right now.” 

Manager Mike Matheny is endorsing 

Wainwright’s live-in-the-now approach. 

After all, Wainwright remains tied for the 

Cardinals lead with 12 victories last season. 

“He’s always pushing the envelope for 

greatness and that’s exactly what he should 

be expecting of himself,” Matheny said. 

Catcher Yadier Molina also is not concerned 

about Wainwright. 

“Waino is a warrior. He’s a solider,” 

Molina said. “He’s great to compete. I have 

no doubt about Waino. He’ll be ready to go.” 

Wainwright has charted a personal course 

for the season, at the end of which, he said 

he hopes the organization will be asking, 

“How many years can we get him back?” 

“That would be my goal,” Wainwright 

said. In an effort to ensure that success, he 

arrived at training camp nearly 25 pounds 

lighter than he did one year ago. He hadn’t 

come to camp weighing as little as his current 

225 pounds in at least five seasons. 

“Earlier in my career, it was the heavier I 

felt, the bigger and stronger I felt, the better 

I pitched because I felt better,” Wainwright 

explained. “Last year, I came in really 

heavy and strong as a bull but I was very 

stiff and so, functionally, it didn’t work.” 

Fighting the added weight, Wainwright’s 

hips flew open too early in his delivery, 

leading to back soreness and, eventually, the 

elbow issue that interrupted his season. This 

spring, he figured he’d try the opposite 

approach and even joked that he might 

attempt to steal a few bases this season. 

While he realizes he may no longer be 

the ace of the staff, he hopes the other 

pitchers “can still look at me as a guy who 

can help shepherd them.” 

“I told Mo [John Mozeliak] that last 

year,” he said. “I love being the guy who 

can help shepherd these young guys into 

being a professional like I was taught. I 

was taught by Chris Carpenter and many 

other people like Jason Marquis, Braden 

Looper, Woody Williams, Jeff Suppan and 

many, many others. All those lessons I’ve 

learned, I love pouring that stuff back out.”

Quilts of Valor honors veteran thought to be oldest living WAC 

I 49 

By ELLEN LAMPE 

Ask 104-year-old local resident Elaine 

Ooley her thoughts on life and she’ll tell 

you, “Just like the wind, it goes by fast.” 

Though it may go by fast, Elaine’s 

life has been full – and full of memories, 

including special recognition as a hero. 

Elaine was born Jan. 27, 1914, on a 

snowy day in Two Harbors, Minnesota. Her 

father’s job as a railroad worker caused the 

family to move frequently but they eventually 

settled in Mattoon, Illinois. 

In the first years of her life, the United 

States was rocked by the start of World 

War I and the Flu Pandemic of 1918. Her 

parents and sister grew ill from the flu; her 

best friend died. Even the family doctor 

died. But 4-year-old Elaine managed to 

remain healthy and learned how to prepare 

meals for her sick family. 

“That flu ... It was the talk of the town,” 

Elaine said. It was one of her earliest memories, 

but she has so many more. 

“I remember the flapper stage. Women 

started cutting their hair and wearing short 

dresses. Of course, I wanted to be one too,” 

Elaine said. “I was only about 12, but I still 

wanted to learn to dance and do all that good 

stuff. Well, my mother didn’t go for that one.” 

She graduated high school in 1932, at 

the height of the Great Depression. With no 

money for college, Elaine found employment 

sewing tongues onto the vamps of 

shoes for 10 cents a vamp. 

“Sometimes I could make a dollar, a 

couple bucks ... I got pretty fast at it,” 

Elaine said. 

Eventually, Elaine was able to attend one 

year of college before returning home to 

take care of her ailing parents. Then, came 

Dec. 7, 1941. 

Elaine’s boyfriend at the time, an officer 

in the military who later would become 

her husband, survived the Pearl Harbor 

attack. Elaine said everyone stepped up to 

do something. 

In November 1942, she followed her 

sister into the Women’s Army Corps. She 

joined as a stenographer, then went on to 

serve as a personnel administrator specialist 

and aircraft dispatcher at Kirtland Air 

Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. 

She served until the end of the war. 

Elaine, a widow who never had children, 

is a self-described “people person” 

who devoted her life to volunteering and 

making relationships in the community. 

“I like to be around people and I like 

being active. I’ve never really stopped,” 

Elaine Ooley 

she said. “I’ve belonged to the American 

Legion for around 40 years and I’ve been 

very active at the St. Louis Veterans Home. 

I’d say that probably the most important 

thing I’ve done is volunteer.” 

She never considered herself a hero – 

that is, until January, when she was presented 

with a once-in-a-lifetime gift. 

“It is with great pride and admiration 

that we present this quilt to you … every 

stitch, every seam, each piece cut and sewn 

together – all made with love and gratitude 

for what you have done,” a letter to Elaine 

from Piecemakers Heritage Quilters read. 

Linda Kuennen, of Piecemakers Heritage 

Quilters, a branch of the national Quilts of 

Valor Foundation, caught wind of Elaine’s 

story through a mutual friend. “I thought, 

‘Wow, she has got to be the oldest living 

WAC. We have to do something special for 

her and her service. What an honor it is to 

still have her around.’” 

Kuennen shared Elaine’s story with her 

fellow quilters, who decided Elaine would 

be the recipient of their next Quilt of Valor. 

“[Linda] called me and said, ‘We are 

going to present you with a quilt. A quilt for 

heroes.’ I was just overwhelmed and humbled,” 

Elaine said. “I knew about the Quilts 

of Valor but I’ve never been approached. 

It’s quite an organization and the quilt is 

gorgeous. It’s a museum-type quilt.” 

Quilts of Valor are presented as a symbol 

of comfort and peace to select veterans 

across the country who have been touched 

by the effects of war. They include personalized 

details down to each stitch, with a 

beautiful patch detailing the recipient’s 

information and history. 

Receiving the quilt has helped Elaine 

reconnect with people from the past. 

“I had three men come to the door and 

they said, ‘Elaine, do you remember us?’ 

They were longtime friends of mine as a 

young kid.”

Washington University scientists have developed an inexpensive way to transport 

blood and other lab samples without the need for refrigeration. 

health 

capsules 

By LISA RUSSELL 

Area scientists develop new 

method to transport lab samples 

Preserving the quality of lab samples 

as they are transported to and from testing 

facilities long has been a challenge. To 

provide accurate test results for patients 

who may live many miles from hospitals 

and labs, their blood or urine samples must 

be refrigerated throughout transport, which 

often is an expensive and difficult process. 

Using nanotechnology, a team of researchers 

at Washington University has eliminated 

that need for refrigeration. They have 

developed a new preservation technique that 

creates a protective shield around protein biomarkers 

in various types of samples. Using 

this method, which can be implemented at 

low cost, lab samples maintain 95 percent of 

their purity while providing accurate information 

to healthcare providers. 

The Wash U research, which recently 

was published in Chemistry of Materials, 

is the first to use an emerging class of 

nanomaterials, called metal-organic frameworks, 

to work with biological specimens 

such as blood, urine, serum and plasma. 

The research team plans to test this new 

method with other types of biomolecules to 

create more potential applications for both 

research and clinical settings, as well as to 

develop a kit that would allow patients to 

prepare their own samples to send to labs 

for testing. The team is working to patent 

the technology, and also intends to develop 

it into a product for the healthcare industry. 

CDC report shows worsening opioid 

crisis, particularly in Midwest 

The most recent Vital Signs report from 

the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention [CDC] shows that America’s 

opioid overdose epidemic continues to 

accelerate. The report, based on emergency 

department data collected in 45 states, 

found that the rate of suspected opioid overdoses 

increased nationwide by 30 percent 

from July 2016 through September 2017. 

The rate of overdoses increased for both 

men and women, among all age groups, and 

throughout all regions of the country; however, 

the increases varied by state, and were 

greater in urban than rural areas. 

Although all five U.S. regions designated 

by the CDC experienced rate increases, by 

far the largest was seen in the Midwest, 

with a 70-percent rise in overdoses – followed 

by the West [40 percent], Northeast 

[21 percent], Southwest [20 percent] and 

Southeast [14 percent]. 

Significant increases were seen in all 

states reporting in the Midwest, including 

Wisconsin [109 percent], Illinois [66 

percent], Indiana [35 percent], Ohio [28 

percent] and Missouri [21 percent]. Men 

and women experienced similar increases 

in the overdose rate [30 percent vs. 24 percent]. 

The problem also was spread fairly 

evenly among age groups, with the greatest 

increase of 36 percent seen among people 

ages 35-54. 

The report’s findings spotlight the need 

for better prevention and treatment efforts 

in emergency rooms and for greater access 

to evidence-based opioid use disorder 

treatments, according to CDC officials. 

“Long before we receive data from death 

certificates, emergency department data 

can point to alarming increases in opioid 

overdoses,” said CDC Acting Director 

Anne Schuchat, M.D. “This fast-moving 

epidemic affects both men and women, 

and people of every age. It does not respect 

state or county lines and is still increasing 

in every region in the United States.” 

‘I-talk’ may signal 

emotional distress

themselves the topic of conversation are

narcissists … instead, they may be experiencing 

depression, anxiety, anger or other 

negative emotions, according to University 

of Arizona researchers. In an earlier study, 

those researchers found that frequent use 

of the first-person singular pronouns I, me 

and my – also known as “I-talk” – when 

speaking may indicate that a person is 

depressed. Their new study confirms that 

link, and found an even stronger connection 

between high levels of I-talk and a 

more general predisposition toward emotional 

distress. 

The researchers’ findings were based on 

data from more than 4,700 people, from six 

participating labs in the U.S. and Germany. 

The data included measures of individuals’ 

use of I-talk compared with their measures 

of depression and negative emotionality, 

which refers to a person’s tendency to 

become easily upset or distressed. While 

the average person speaks about 16,000 

words a day, up to 2,000 of those words 

may be “I,” “me” or “my” among those 

with high negative emotionality. 

The new study will be published in the 

Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

ELECTION PREVIEW, from page 11 

son roads. … We have a great parks system, 

and I want to keep that going strong. 

Mayor • Cynthia [Cindy] Pool 

I’m running for office because we’re 

kind of at a crossroads now, especially 

with economic development. … Our job 

as councilmembers, and the same is true 

of planning and zoning, is that we’re supposed 

to find the best possible use for any 

available property, and we haven’t been 

doing that for the last five years. We’ve 

basically been letting anything go anywhere, 

and I’d like us to get back to following 

our comprehensive plan, which is 

there for a purpose. … I want to get back 

on that path of what we’re supposed to be 

doing and what is best for the city. 

City Council 

District 1 • Stephen Chismarich* 

In my short term as a councilmember, I 

have had fun getting to know more people 

in our city. I enjoy serving our residents 

and being a part of the community. It is a 

very rewarding way to give back. If elected, 

I hope to continue making decisions that 

represent the values of District 1 residents, 

which will positively impact the growth 

and redevelopment of our city as a whole, 

while preserving our neighborhoods and 

parks. With the decrease of brick-and-mortar 

retail, a top priority is to increase our 

tax revenues and maintain our city services 

by encouraging businesses that match the 

needs of our community while doing our 

best to adhere to Ellisville’s long-term 

comprehensive plan. 

District 1 • Eric Huesemann 

I want to assure that residents receive 

exceptional services from all the city’s 

departments. Residents always will come 

first. I will work diligently to promote new 

businesses to make their way to the city of 

Ellisville and occupy the too many existing 

vacant buildings. I will encourage the city 

of Ellisville to do business with businesses 

inside the Ellisville city limits. I ultimately 

will keep Ellisville city government very 

professional and highly respected throughout 

the St. Louis metropolitan area. 

EUREKA 


Ward 1 • Robert A. Berry 

This is a critical time in our city. … We 

need to elect people to represent us who 

know how to get things done. … I have 

a proven track record as your mayor and 

alderman. My priorities are resolving traffic 

issues and concerns with MoDOT along 

Fifth Street and Hwy. 109 due to increased 

residential developments in the area; seek 

the best economic development opportunities 

to expand the tax base and satisfy 

residents needs for shopping; solve the 

flooding issues with long-term solutions 

…; seek new and better ways to fund projects; 

and make strategic planning a major 

priority to resolve future issues and major 

capital improvements. 

Ward 1 • Keith Messmer 

Eureka needs new and fresh ideas in 

city hall. We have had the same people 

representing us for the past 20-plus years. 

Eureka has failed to entice new businesses 

or restaurants to our city and has 

become reliant on tax increases to pay for 

problems that have existed for a decade 

or more. My top priorities if elected are: 

bring new businesses to Eureka, communicate 

better with the residents so that 

they are aware of the things happening in 

our city, improve the water quality, instill 

better fiscal responsibility and stop wasteful 

spending. 

Ward 2 • Bryan Kiefer 

I am running to make Eureka stronger 

with experience. I have 11 years of 

experience in planning and zoning as a 

commission member and 30-plus years 

construction experience, and community 

involvement. My top priorities are infrastructure 

work [roads], business growth, 

traffic issues and sit-down restaurants. 

Ward 2 • Lisa Smith 

Our family has called Eureka home for 

almost 22 years ... now [our children] are 

buying their first homes here. … I am running 

for alderman because I sincerely care 

about my neighbors, our town and our 

future. … I want to work with my neighbors 

to ensure that they have a voice … I 

want to take their ideas and concerns to the 

table and get things done for them. Our 

new neighbors are going to bring certain 

challenges to Eureka. We will have additional 

police and fire protection needs, 

traffic challenges and the continued need 

for adequate shopping and dining options. 

Additionally, long-term flooding solutions 

should be a top priority for Eureka. 

Ward 3 • Jerry Holloway 

MANCHESTER 

Mayor • Mike Clement 

I really think it is time for change … I think 

I can bring better leadership to the city to 

address the issues that need change. I want 

to be far more diligent in looking at revenues 

and expenditures on a quarterly basis and at 

year-end. … There is a need to engage the 

stakeholders of the community: residents,






I ELECTION PREVIEW I 53 

business owners and the board of aldermen. 

What I would do as mayor is to invite 

residents, in an informal setting, [to have a 

dialog] about the community to see what’s 

working and what are the concerns. What we 

need are face-to-face conversations. 

Mayor • David L. Willson* 

I am the incumbent and have been mayor 

since 2008. I find being mayor very rewarding, 

especially interacting with the citizens, 

business owners and community partners. 

Out of 86 Missouri municipalities, Manchester 

was ranked the 15th best city to raise 

a family, with Manchester ranked as the 

safest city overall. We have a great community 

and I want to keep that momentum. My 

top priority is ensuring that city employees 

are at a comparable level in salary and benefits 

to nearby cities. If we don’t value our 

experienced employees, we won’t be able to 

provide the excellent services. 


Ward 1 • Nelson D. Nolte* 

Ward 2 • Marilyn L. Ottenad* 

Ward 3 • Jerome [Jerry] Meyer 

I have lived in Manchester for 20 years, 

been a trustee for 15 years, attended board 

meetings for 12 years, been on the citizen 

core council for five years and planning 

and zoning for the past year. These qualifications 

make me the best candidate. We 

must retain our police officers in a longterm 

environment. We do not want to be 

the training ground for other municipalities. 

To achieve this, we must be financially 

responsible. We need to make our government 

more accessible. This would come 

from better use of social media, making our 

website easier to navigate and to webcast 

aldermanic meetings. 

Ward 3 • Benjamin Toben 

I was born and raised in Manchester 

and I am running to ensure this city 

continues to be a great place to live for 

my family and the families that live here. 

My top priorities would include fiscal 

responsibility, the growth of the community 

and businesses, police support and 

community involvement. Manchester is 

proud of its history and is rich in hometown 

tradition. I am excited to serve the 

city and its people. To learn more, visit

TOWN & COUNTRY 


Ward 1 • Richard [Skip] Mange* 

Ward 2 • Lindsey Butler* 

The residents of Town & Country are 

why I am running for re-election. Our 

city deserves a representative who has a 

proven track record of committing time 

and resources to meeting with residents 

and listening to their thoughts and concerns. 

During my first term, I fulfilled 

promises to improve transparency, fiscal 

responsibility, community quality and 

safety. I will continue to focus on these 

priorities while addressing projects like 

Town Square, trails and stormwater infrastructure. 

Ward 2 • William McKnight 

As alderman, I’ll focus on addressing the 

needs and concerns of residents in Ward 2, 

with a view toward maintaining Town & 

Country as a wonderful place to live, work 

and raise a family. I will be vigilant about 

safeguarding our city’s future prosperity. 

My top priorities will be responsible, balanced 

development in line with the city’s 

comprehensive plan and active resident 

input; fiscal responsibility, emphasizing 

timely, transparent reporting to residents; 

expansion of the city’s walkability options 

aligned with the trail master plan, including 

seeking consensus on three planned 

trail expansions; and successful completion 

of the Town Square project. 

Ward 3 • Gussie Crawford* 

Having been a resident of the city of 

Town & Country for over 50 years and an 

alderman for six years, I feel I still have 

much I can offer. I am committed to making 

our city a wonderful place in which to live. 

My top priorities include overseeing the 

completion of Town Square, fulfilling a 

leadership role in the updating of our city’s 

comprehensive plan, the expansion of the 

trail system, and sustaining the economic 

development of our existing commercial 

centers as a growing source of sales tax 

revenue for the city. 

Ward 3 • Matt Reuter 

Town & Country should continue to be 

a desirable place to live and raise a family 

for years to come. I am running for alderman 

to serve my community and shape 

the future of our city. My top priority is to 

improve communication and engagement 

of Ward 3 residents. Completing Town 

Square in a timely and responsible manner 

is needed so we can shift to other priorities 

such as the Woods Mill/Route 141 corridor 

between Clayton Road and I-64. The Clayton 

Village development is encouraging, 

but nearby residents need help with the 

implications of increased traffic especially 

with challenging intersections.

TWIN OAKS 


Aldermen-at-large 

Tim C. Stoeckl* 

I am running for office in the city of Twin 

Oaks to serve our residents as their alderman 

once again. The past two years have 

been a rewarding experience for me as the 

city grows and shapes itself for the future. 

I feel privileged to have been a part of the 

present leadership team and will work hard 

to be an asset to the city and its residents 

going forward. I take the responsibility of 

representing the citizens of Twin Oaks very 

seriously. My top priorities, if elected, are 

to provide our neighbors with a safe environment, 

to work with our great businesses 

so they prosper, to maintain our excellent 

park for everyone’s enjoyment and to be a 

good steward of the city finances. 

Jeffrey Lynn Graves* 

My wife, Loretta, and I love Twin Oaks. 

… We, and our neighbors, want to preserve 

and enhance the beauty, safety and livable 

qualities of this small town West County 

gem. I believe government governs best 

which governs closest to its people, in 

tune with them and the times. My priorities 

include to maintain and improve Twin 

Oaks’ beauty, quality of life, services and 

safety through citizen involvement and our 

competitive bids analysis process; ensure 

present and any future commercial development 

projects are completed and maintained 

…; ensure any future development 

of our park, residential and commerce 

zones are done to high standards and balanced 

to the benefits of our citizens. 

Frank Venturella 

I am running for office to make sure information 

is effectively communicated to the 

residents and businesses of Twin Oaks to 

keep them informed on city issues and proposals 

and to solicit their input. I understand 

the needs of the residents and businesses in 

the city. I want to ensure the viability and 

sustainable growth of the city while maintaining 

an environmental master plan and 

pursuing all economic development opportunities 

and grant funding programs. 

@WESTNEWSMAG 


April Milne 

My husband and I have been residents 

of Twin Oaks for eight years now. We 

love this little community and the wonderful 

things that come with it, unique to the 

West County area – small town feel, great 

schools, tree-lined streets, a beautiful park 

and a walkability typically only found in 

urban areas. In the recent year, Twin Oaks 

has seen some big changes with new developments 

and updates that are modernizing 

and moving our city forward. I’d like to 

see us continue this progress, enhancing 

the features of our city that make it such a 

desirable place to live. 

WILDWOOD 

City Council 

Ward 1 • Glen DeHart* 

I am running to keep the “wild” in Wildwood, 

to ensure fiscal responsibility to 

ensure taxpayers money is used wisely and 

to uphold the Charter of Wildwood and our 

new 20/20 Vision statement. 

Ward 1 • John Gragnani 

Since 1991, when I moved into my new 

home in Wildwood, I became aware that 

the only way the residents of the area would 

ever be able to protect their homes and environment 

was to establish a local government 

that was understanding and responsive to 

their desire to have input into development 

of their own city. This is why I helped with 

the incorporation starting in 1991 into 1995 

when the incorporation was completed. 

Now, there are significant threats to the 

ability of Wildwood residents to be able to 

speak and have input into their community. 

I never ran for city council or mayor all 

these years, but I have always been around 

to help and promote this city. Now, some of 

my fellow residents have asked me to step 

up and do what I can to preserve the city’s 

vision and the people’s right to be a part of it. 

Ward 2 • Ray Manton* 

As a 25-year Wildwood area resident, 

I believe in open, honest and transparent 

government. I believe in adhering to the 

master plan regarding city policies on 

environmental protection, service provision, 

resource allocation, transportation 

analysis and land use; and oversight and 

adherence to the city charter. If re-elected, 

I’ll work to ensure that our city does not 

provide taxpayer dollars for private profit. 

I pledge to keep Wildwood without a property 

tax and to remain fiscally conservative 

with all city resources. I will support an 

environmentally safe community, promote 

smart growth, keep our roadways safe and 

continue to communicate with Ward 2 residents 

on city matters. I also will support 

our local business community. 

Ward 2 • Tony Salvatore 

Residents incorporated Wildwood – representing 

their interest is my highest priority. 

I am a man of the people. I will listen 

to residents, restore leadership to the city 

council ensuring fiscal responsibility and 

adherence to Wildwood’s city charter. I

Charlie Brennan of KMOX as Honorary Chairman 


bring honesty, openness and transparency 

for citizens of Wildwood, rather than personal 

views of councilmembers. I will not 

support using taxpayer money as a financial 

incentive for development. Taxpayer dollars 

must be used to provide services for residents. 

I will oppose a city-county merger. I 

support sustainable growth, following the 

master plan principals and protecting the 

vision and mission of Wildwood. 

I felt compelled to get more involved and 

was appointed to the Wildwood board of 

adjustment. I feel that city council is a 

great opportunity to build on my involvement 

and take a more active role in the 

community. I want to ensure that we are 

preserving the unique character of Wildwood 

while making good decisions that 

directly benefit the residents of our community. 

I would like to bring my perspective 

of resident with a younger family to 

city council decisions.

Ward 3 • Jim Baugus* 

My priorities have always been to maintain 

the strong financial status of Wildwood 

by continuing to use my financial strengths 

in conjunction with the council and city 

staff; continue to adhere to the ideals that 

have made Wildwood such a desirable city 

in which to live; listen to the citizens of 

Ward 3 as well as all citizens for their ideas 

and thoughts. 

Ward 3 • Kevin Dillard 

Wildwood needs new leadership at city 

hall that is honest, transparent and ethical. 

My top priorities include: Stop over-development 

and bulldozing. Limit smart and sustainable 

growth, and preserve and enforce 

the city charter and master plan. Adhere to 

conservative fiscal management: end the 

marketing and public relations spending for 

“economic development activity,” and no 

taxpayer incentives to developers. End the 

abuse of power by city officials. Residents 

should be respected, listened to, and never 

threatened or intimidated. Return transparency, 

functionality and civility to city hall. 

Ensure that Rockwood schools have the 

support they need from Wildwood to keep 

students safe. Defend the 3-acre, non-urban 

zoning minimum. 

Ward 4 • Andrew Bolazina 

I am proud to be a resident of Wildwood. 

Soon after moving to Wildwood in 2014, 

Ward 4 • Steve Taylor 

I will work in a collaborative way with 

my neighbors to move the city of Wildwood 

forward with integrity. I will work for 

a city government that is transparent and 

does not waste money. I am committed to 

public safety and to improvements in road 

and traffic conditions. Currently, residents 

cannot ask questions directly of their representatives 

at city council meetings. I will 

work to change that. I support Wildwood’s 

master plan, a village green in Town Center 

for family events, concerts, art fairs and 

farmer’s market. I believe in a proper balance 

of development and preservation. 

Ward 5 • Debra Smith McCutchen 

Ward 6 • Cheryl Jordan 

Lack of high-speed internet throughout 

the city is a primary concern. For this 

reason, I serve on the city’s rural internet 

access committee to guide expansion of 

internet access. Secondly, it is important 

that residents are aware of resolutions and 

decisions, such as zoning issues, before 

they are approved. I will proactively notify 

my Ward 6 neighbors of issues which concern 

them, whether locally or in the city as 

a whole, and encourage their involvement. 

Thirdly, I will stand against misuse of 

planned residential developments (PRDs)

MISSISSIPPI NIGHTS REUNION 

It was just an old bar – lots of brick 

and wood and a stage on which local and 

national talent played. But 

to the Mississippi Nights 

faithful, it was home – 

someplace you returned to 

time and time again. 

On March 29, the old 

gang’s getting back together 

for a Mississippi Nights 

Reunion at Delmar Hall, 

6133 Delmar Blvd. in the 

Loop. 

Patrick Hagin, managing 

partner of Delmar Hall, describes 

that venue as “our version of Mississippi 

Nights,” though he admits that it’s hard 

“to replace that type of venue.” 

“A lot of people met their spouses 

there,” Hagin said. “It held a lot of great 

memories.” 

Still, for one night, Hagin 

along with former employees 

and a host of local 

bands are going to try to 

recreate the magic of Mississippi 

Nights. 

“It’s a reunion in the 

truest sense – and a jam session, 

that’s why we priced it 

so low. We want everybody 

to come.” 

Tickets are $10 per person and can 

be purchased online at delmarhall.com. 

Doors open at 7 p.m. with the first band 

taking the stage at 8 p.m. 

An Adult Easter Egg Hunt is from 7-9 

p.m. on Saturday, March 24 at Legion Park

The long wait is over. A chilly day did 

nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of opening 

day on March 3 for Fritz’s West County, 

which is celebrating its 25th year in 2018. 

Ray and Debbie Higgins opened Fritz’s 

near the intersection of Big Bend and Meramec 

Station roads in 1993 and it has been a 

delicious staple in West County ever since. 

It is Fritz’s unwavering commitment to 

the best quality custard – made in-house 

and paired with their premium brandname 

toppings and mix-ins – that keeps 

customers coming back. Different than ice 

cream, custard is lower in fat and cholesterol. 

Fritz’s recipe and old-time freezing 

gives the custard its clean, delicious taste 

and creamy texture. Made fresh daily. 

General Manager Gene Anselmo, who 

has been with Fritz’s 16 years, described 

the company’s chocolate as “rich and 

full-bodied, a quality you won’t find 

anywhere else.” If chocolate isn’t your 

preference, Fritz’s also offers traditional 

vanilla, low-fat vanilla and a flavor of the 

day. One of those upcoming flavors is new 

to the menu – Peanut Butter Oreo. 

General Manager Angela Kyle, who has 

been with Fritz’s from the beginning, said 

often they try ingredients as toppings first 

and if they find it’s a hit with customers, 

will try it in the custard form. 

Despite some seasonal favorites, like 

Cinnamon, Pumpkin and Pumpkin Cheesecake, 

it’s the Turtle sundae with caramel, 

pecans and hot fudge that put Fritz’s on the 

map. Love Turtle Pie? They do that, too. 

The 9-inch custard pie is a graduation and 

Mother’s Day favorite, but make sure to 

order it a day ahead. Turtle Pie is not on the 

daily menu, but don’t fret. There’s plenty 

to choose from – whether it’s a concrete, 

sundae, cone, shake or malt – every day. 

“We have our set menu and, honestly, try 

not to add to it too much,” Kyle said. “It’s 

overwhelming to customers, even if it’s in 

a good way.” 

Gaining traction and threatening to take 

over the Turtle sundae craze are the Cookie 

Monster and Dough Boy offerings. 

Have a hankering for fruit? Try 

the Strawbana Sundae, the perfect 

combination of fresh strawberries 

and sliced bananas, or the Peach 

Melba loaded with peaches and 

raspberries. For fruit lovers, the list 

of fruit favorites goes on and on. 

It’s not just the custard that 

counts. Fritz’s prides itself on community 

involvement and excellent 

customer service. The Higgins 

make sure they deliver on both. 

In July 2016, Fritz’s held a oneday 

fundraiser for Ballwin Police 

Officer Michael Flamion. 

“With the help of a supportive community, 

Fritz’s West County raised over 

$23,000 for Mike in one night, which 

included all our profits, additional donations 

and some employees’ wages for the 

night,” Ray shared. 

It’s that personal touch that sets them 

apart. 

“We are not just a business. We are like 

one big, extended family,” 

he said. 

“Our counter staff is 

typically high school students 

or college students 

who come back and work

during the summer. We have longevity 

because there is really a family atmosphere,” 

added Debbie. 

With the walk-up window and customer 

patio area, Fritz’s is seasonal, closing the 

Sunday before Thanksgiving and reopening 

the first Saturday of March. While 

Anselmo knows it’s a long break for their 

loyal customer base, it does give the managers 

an opportunity to take care of equipment 

and other managerial tasks and plan 

the menu for the following year. 

What’s the best advice for this season? 

Hurry in! Customers will need until 

November to work their way through the 

menu.

and work to prevent development which 

deforests the land of its hills and trees, forever 

marring the beauty of Wildwood and 

devastating the wildlife within it. 

Ward 6 • Brian Rull 

We must ensure the financial stability of 

our municipal treasury. We need to seek out 

new sources of federal and state funding so 

we can afford to invest in modern technology 

and infrastructure enhancements, such 

as affordable and reliable high-speed data 

networks. City property taxes are not an 

option. We must hold ourselves accountable 

to the city charter, the master plan, and 

most importantly . . . our residents. Despite 

the unique facets that divide our residents 

and city council members by geographic 

wards, we all share in a unified goal when 

it comes to the success of Wildwood. 

Ward 7 • Tim D. Woerther 

Two years have seen the founding principles 

of Wildwood compromised. Last year, 

I was asked to run but I deferred, hoping 

for a return to Wildwood principles. That 

hasn’t happened and that is why I am running. 

I pledge to ask residents opinions and 

to listen and to continue the original Wildwood 

vision of an engaged small government 

that is fiscally conservative. I have a 

record of an unwavering commitment to 

the charter, master plan and Town Center 

plan. I will return an uncompromising 

commitment to high ethical values. Maintaining 

the quality of life and community 

that has become known as Wildwood. 

Ward 7 • Jeffrey Levitt* 

I want to continue to be a fair and honest 

representative of the residents of Ward 7. 

I want to find a citywide solution for the 

here-today-dry-tomorrow Lake Chesterfield. 

I want to continue economic development 

within the city with a strict sense 

of fiscal responsibility and adherence to 

the city’s master plan. I believe the gem 

of our parks collection is the Community 

Park and it should be our priority in parks 

spending until it is finished. I support continued 

Hidden Valley operation. 

Ward 8 • Rob Meinert 

Plain and simple, I want to continue to 

serve Ward 8 residents. To be of service to 

others is in my DNA as is evident by my 

life experiences, which allowed me to be 

of service to others. My experience working 

on two city council committees and 

my recent appointment to Wildwood city 

council really demonstrated the benefit I 

could be to my fellow residents by being 

engaged in local government. I want to 

maintain that momentum. My priorities 

have been and will continue to be following 

the city charter and master plan. 

Ward 8 • Niles Stephens 

I am running for Ward 8 because I am 

an active and engaged member of the community 

who wants to change the culture 

at Wildwood City Hall. Wildwood needs 

people of high moral character to serve 

on the council. With new leadership, our 

2018/19 council meetings can be a better 

reflection of the city we love. My top priorities 

are: Creating a more vibrant community 

by building support for a Village 

Green in the Town Center; Commitment 

to following the master plan in order to 

preserve the beauty and uniqueness of 

Wildwood; Conservative stewardship – 

thorough review and follow-up to maintain 

a responsible budget.

PARKWAY SCHOOL DISTRICT 

Board of Education 

Jeanie Ames 

I have dedicated over 25 years to Parkway. 

As a student, parent, PTO president 

and resident. Having three children who are 

diverse and unique learners, I understand 

the challenges facing families of students 

with special needs. I understand that the 

board of education is a body of oversight 

on behalf of the taxpayers. We also have 

the responsibility of evaluating and implementing 

curriculum. Both of these should 

be done with transparency while welcoming 

parental input and targeting taxpayer 

money where it will have the most impact. 

As a former teacher, I understand the needs 

of students. That knowledge, and my lifelong 

involvement in Parkway, uniquely 

qualify me to serve Parkway on the board 

of education. 

Kevin Seltzer 

I am running for school board because 

Parkway matters to me and my family. My 

time with Parkway has given me an amazing 

foundation for my life. It afforded me 

the academic building blocks to become a 

successful attorney. It instilled the values 

that define me as a person and a citizen. It’s 

even where I met my wife and where we are 

raising our family. I want to be a force for 

good in this community. My priorities are 

creating the opportunity for achievement 

for all students and promoting character 

development and creating opportunities 

for students to pursue their interests and 

passions outside of a traditional classroom 

setting; promoting school safety through 

cooperation with all parties including students 

and advocating for fiscal responsibility 

and prudent use of resources. 

Jonathan Taylor 

I am a Parkway parent and resident concerned 

with the direction our district has 

taken under current leadership. I am running 

to ensure that the voices and concerns 

of all parents and taxpayers are listened 

to and represented on the board. My top 

three priorities will be to provide our students 

and teachers with the highest level 

of safety and security, allow them to focus 

on academic excellence and deliver the 

age-appropriate and relevant curriculum 

options that the parents of the district want 

for their children, and provide complete 

financial transparency and accountability 

to the taxpayers. 

of excellence; innovative, research-based 

curriculum with a focus on STEAM subjects 

[science, technology, engineering, 

arts, math]; creating a caring, supportive, 

safe and inclusive environment for all students 

and staff. 

Amy Bonnett 

I am seeking election to Parkway’s 

board to continue serving the school district 

from which I earned a great education 

and have spent so much time volunteering 

as a parent. My top three priorities are 

academic excellence, fiscal responsibility 

and students prepared for life. I will
