RANDOM THOUGHTS 

This week, Mid Rivers Newsmagazine 

talks with Dr. Bernard J. DuBray, Superintendent 

of the Fort Zumwalt School District. 

DuBray has served the district since 

1985. During his tenure, he has passed 

over $400 million in bond issues as the 

district has increased in size. DuBray 

previously served as a teacher, principal, 

assistant superintendent and coach for 

baseball and soccer teams. He has been 

married 49 years and has three grown 

children, all of whom graduated from Fort 

Zumwalt South High. 

What are three interesting facts about 

you? 

Probably, No. 1 would be that I’m the 

longest-serving superintendent in the 

state of Missouri right now serving in the 

same school district, and that’s been for 

33 years. No. 2, this is my 49th year in 

education. For No. 3, I got my start with 

a bachelor’s degree at Southeast Missouri 

State University. In those days, it was 

Southeast Missouri State Teacher’s College. 

I started there and then went on to 

become a teacher and a coach in the Pattonville 

School District. 

What are some of the events in your life 

that have made you who you are today? 

I think the fact that I was a coach when 

I first started teaching was a part of that. 

I learned my organizational skills – and 

working with people, I learned that very 

early on. Also, the fact that my youngest 

son went to the University of Notre Dame 

and today is a transplant surgeon. That 

had a pretty powerful effect on me, that he 

was able to get himself into a world-class 

university and now saves a lot of lives. I 

would think that absolutely has something 

to do with it. Also, joining a district that 

was in growth mode and passing $400 million 

in bond issues to build all the buildings 

that we’ve built to this day to stay up 

with the growth, that has also had an effect 

on me. That’s a huge part of it. 

A Community Conversation 

Dr. Bernard J. DuBray 

What is the best book or best series that 

you have personally ever read? 

“The World is Flat: A Brief History of 

the Twenty-first Century” by Thomas L. 

Friedman. It just provides a different way 

of looking at world events. Another one 

that I read that had a lot to do with me 

was “Winning Kids with Sport!” by Dr. 

Rick McGuire at the University of Missouri. 

It’s all about positive coaching, and 

the Fort Zumwalt School District is the 

largest district in the state of Missouri that 

has four of its high schools all embracing 

positive coaching philosophies, so “Winning 

Kids with Sport!” probably had a lot 

to do with my outlook. I coached baseball 

and I coached boys varsity soccer at Pattonville 

High School. As I said earlier, I 

think coaching had a lot to do with my 

organizational skills and how to deal with 

people, certainly with young people, and 

with motivation, and with so many other 

things that you use in your career. 

What life skills are rarely taught, but are 

extremely useful? 

I think it’s hard to teach conflict resolution, 

but if you can’t resolve conflict and 

be in a district as large as Fort Zumwalt, 

you will not stay around very long. You 

absolutely have to be able to see all sides 

of the argument. Brainstorming is another 

life skill. Maybe you wouldn’t think that, 

but the ability to see options and to present 

options, whether it be to parents or staff 

or to the public at large, the ability to see 

options and brainstorm options is really a 

key. Conflict resolution is a key to being 

able to survive, I think, if you can’t take a 

conflict between two people or two groups 

of people and resolve it in a satisfactory 

manner, your district gets torn apart. We’ve 

been very lucky out here to have a wonderful 

school district. I think, for the most part, 

I’ve been able to resolve conflict and also 

develop options to help with that process.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 

Too much trash 

To the Editor: 

I have lived in O’Fallon, Missouri, my 

whole life and, as each year has passed, I 

have seen the city of O’Fallon grow to be 

a great city. 

Every time I read the paper, I learn about 

new projects in the works for the city, 

which is great! The only issue I have is all 

the trash on the sides of the road and really 

everywhere besides in front of the new 

courthouse and parks. I don’t blame the 

city for that but maybe instead of focusing 

on new diamond interchanges they need to 

focus on a solution for cleaning up what’s 

already here.

Not happy with 

‘Random Thoughts’ 


Once upon a short time ago, I used to 

wait with anticipation for the next issue 

of Mid Rivers Newsmagazine, that is no 

longer the case. This is in regards to the 

“Random Thoughts” column that eventually 

replaced Thomas Sowell’s column. 

There were many people, including 

myself, that enjoyed and looked forward 

to Dr. Sowell’s commentary and likewise, 

there were several who disagreed with his 

perspective. They would let their thoughts 

be known in the next issue. 

The “Random Thoughts” column just 

does not have the intellectual quality of Dr. 

Sowell and even of the few guest authors 

you had briefly after his retirement. Who 

cares what TV star someone would like to 

change places with for a day? 

There seems to be no lack of diverse 

opinion on the current political climate in 

our country, state and community. Why not 

invite Wood opposing Chips points . Wood of view Recycling

For the sake of goodwill, try to stay 

away from 537-1555 

the tabloid topics, although I 

will say that the article “Pack up the Big 

Top” was excellent. The letter from Bob 

Hoff about the Constitutional Convention 

was also very enlightening. 

If you could not tell from the first paragraph, 

I tend to lean toward the conservative 

side but I always want to know who, 

what, when and why the other side believes 

or feels the way they do. Only by engaging 

in civil discourse will we be able to solve 

some of the issues that face us today. 

It has long been my contention that news 

magazines or papers should provide unbiased 

fact but, when there are clearly two 

sides to an issue, why not let the opposing 

factions both have equal opportunity to lay 

out their case. The Mid Rivers Newsmagazine 

could be an excellent venue to share 

opposing points of view. 

John Kallash 

The voters lose 


Well, according to your editorial of April 

18, we might as well give up, the enemy 

has won! 

However, it’s getting so tiresome that we 

feel we must give up and let these people 

have their way and deprive the good voters 

in Missouri of their choice for governor. 

The entire debacle is pure partisan politics 

and we shouldn’t give in to it. 

Yes, there are losers: the voters! But the 

Democrats consider themselves winners 

because their goal is to put the governor 

out of office. 

Your editorial is speaking a great deal 

of “double talk.” One minute you’re saying 

“everyone” has an agenda [not everyone] and 

the next minute you’re acknowledging the 

crimes against the governor, such as accusations 

without picture proof. Where’s the 

beef? Then, you’re accusing him of naked 

ambition. How about, in your editorial, sticking 

with facts and truth regarding this case 

against the governor, instead of remarks such 

as “just another man who is far too human” 

and “naked ambition,” etc., etc.? 

Gov. Greitens did not do this while in 

office, as President Clinton did. He did not 

commit a crime in having consensual sex 

with this woman, however wrong that was. 

It was over and forgiven several years ago. 

Nor has it been proven that he did anything 

against the woman’s will. We all understand 

that this woman was probably paid 

by George Soros and/or his ilk, to come 

against Gov. Greitens, in order to run him 

out of office. His past is over and shouldn’t 

disqualify him as governor. 

This witch hunt is laid at the door of 

the Democrats, who hate that they lost the 

election. They don’t care how much this 

will cost the taxpayers, as long as they 

keep their power. Put the blame for the 

cost on the Democrats who did this! 

By the way, where is that “perfect 

human” candidate? If we keep up these 

witch hunts, no one will run for office! Ah, 

but that would make the Democrats happy 

because they will be the only people running 

for office and they would be OK, just 

like Bill and Hillary.

DARDENNE PRAIRIE 

City seeks public input on I-64 

corridor road improvements 

On April 24, Dardenne Prairie officials 

shared several proposals of possible 

changes along the Interstate 64 corridor 

between Winghaven Boulevard and Missouri 

Route 364, which also includes a 

portion of Technology Drive. 

At a public open house meeting at 

Dardenne City Hall, the city shared two 

proposals that would directly affect residents, 

property owners and businesses 

along I-64, Technology Drive, Hwy. N and 

Route 364. 

The first proposal would improve the 

Dardenne Prairie access to and from I-64 

with a full interchange at Hwy. N, off and 

on ramps for both eastbound and westbound 

traffic, and maintaining Technology 

Drive as a two-way street. 

The second proposal would improve 

access to and from Dardenne Prairie from 

Route 364 with a full interchange at Technology 

Drive, off and on ramps for both 

eastbound and westbound lanes, and replacing 

the existing interchange just north of 

Dardenne Town Square shopping center. 

The city has held public hearings since 

January to seek public input on the possible 

road improvements. 

Meanwhile, other local officials also are 

studying road improvements throughout 

the area along Route 364 and I-64. The St. 

Charles County Council agreed in January 

to spend $1.5 million for a study that 

may jump-start road improvements along 

an increasingly congested section of Hwy. 

N. The environmental assessment study 

would be along nine miles of Hwy. N. 

O’FALLON 

Renovated Alligator’s 

Creek opens May 26 

Residents will be able to run, swim or 

float on over to O’Fallon’s newly expanded 

Alligator’s Creek Aquatic Center – just in 

time for Memorial Day weekend. 

Renovations have neared completion 

and opening day is scheduled for May 26. 

The aquatic center is located in Civic Park 

off of N. Main Street. 

The renovations to the outdoor recreation 

area were part of the comprehensive Renew 

O’Fallon initiative set in place in 2017. 

The new Alligator’s Creek complex has 

been expanded to twice its original size 

with new features and amenities like a 

modern bathhouse, an elongated lazy river 

path with a zero-depth beach entrance, a 

concession stand, a brand-new splash pad 

for kids of all abilities, a floating bridge and 

a new pool with a waterway that connects 

a larger pool that also includes a newlyinstalled 

interactive water playground. 

New to 2018, the pool will open an hour 

earlier at 11 a.m. each day. 

The complex still offers three different 

styles of water slides, a one-meter spring 

diving board, whirlpool or vortex for users 

of all ages and a swimming pool with lap 

lanes. Daily admission and season pass 

options also are available. Other events 

include special promotional days, with 

the first being Honor Roll Day on June 10. 

Kids from kindergarten to high school can 

bring in a report card to swim for free if 

their cumulative grade point average is 3.0 

or higher. 

The facility will be open from Memorial 

Day weekend through Labor Day.

operations, visit ofallon.mo.us/parks&rec. 

ST. PETERS 

Little Free Library opens 

on Willott Road 

Little Free Libraries are a global phenomenon. 

The small front-yard book 

exchanges number 70,000-plus around the 

world in over 80 countries – from Iceland 

to Tasmania to Pakistan. 

Now, a new Little Free Library stands at 

2451 Willott Road in St. Peters. 

“I’d see Little Free Library boxes while 

traveling and enjoyed looking for them 

when I went somewhere new,” said library 

owner Shannon Masur. “The one that 

stands out to me the most was a tiny box 

wedged between two posts in Montreal, 

Canada. It held only four or five books at 

a time, but it was clearly used frequently.” 

Of her library, Masure said, “Our Little 

Free Library doesn’t just belong to us, it 

belongs to everyone. Please take books, 

please give books, please share books.” 

Masur’s library is in memory of her 

mother, Chris Parkton, who was an avid 

reader. “She never went anywhere without 

a book,” Masur said. 

ST. CHARLES COUNTY 

Police department receives 

prestigious accreditation 

The St. Charles County Police Department 

has been named the eighth law 

enforcement agency in the St. Louis area 

and the 13th in the state to currently hold 

Advanced Accreditation from the Commission 

on Accreditation for Law Enforcement 

Agencies [CALEA]. 

The department spent three years assessing 

and evaluating its policies and procedures 

as part of the credentialing procedure. 

“There are 657 law enforcement agencies 

in Missouri. To be one of only a handful 

in our state to have earned advanced 

accreditation from an organization that 

sets the gold standard for law enforcement 

is a remarkable honor,” St. Charles County 

Police Chief David Todd said. “Being 

accredited by CALEA standards means 

we are held accountable to the public and 

to ourselves. We have to follow all of our 

policies and procedures to the letter and 

uphold the standards that make us one of 

the best.” 

CALEA is a credentialing authority 

established through the joint efforts of law 

enforcement’s major executive associations: 

International Association of Chiefs 

of Police [IACP], National Organization 

of Black Law Enforcement Executives 

[NOBLE], National Sheriffs’ Association 

[NSA] and the Police Executive Research 

Forum [PERF]. 

The voluntary, yet arduous, accreditation 

process is internationally recognized 

as the gold standard in public safety. The 

Tier II, or Advanced Accreditation, by 

CALEA includes 484 possible standards. A 

team of assessors from CALEA spent four 

days on site evaluating every aspect of the 

department, Todd said. 

“We learned how good we already were 

at some things, and how we could, and can, 

improve upon others,” Todd said. “Overall, 

the CALEA assessors and commissioner 

were extremely impressed with our department’s 

operations.”

O’Fallon set to build its art initiative with rotating sculpture series 

By JESSICA MESZAROS 

The city of O’Fallon is looking to 

put fine art on a pedestal, literally, with 

its new, traveling sculpture series. 

The Shape of Community is a citywide, 

temporary sculpture exhibition 

that would feature a variety of largescale 

works of art in prominent areas 

throughout the city. All works would 

be loaned by artists for an 18-month 

period that would extend until March 

2020. Currently, the city plans to 

install art at nine city-owned locations, 

including its parks and Municipal Centre. 

The city’s desire to showcase art in the 

community has been discussed since the 

1980s, but for Cultural Arts Coordinator 

Darren Granaas, true interest began closer 

to 2001 when the city of O’Fallon reached 

out to St. Peters about their then-new cultural 

arts program with the goal of creating 

a similar art-focused experience for 

O’Fallon residents. 

The city started with the creation of a community 

band, local theater branch and art 

classes. By 2015, it was devising a master 

plan for expanding its artistic endeavors 

with help from city councilmembers. 

“I want to say about three years ago 

Councilmember Rose Mack [District 2] 

O’Fallon Municipal Building 

had the idea,” Granaas said. “We’d talked a 

bit about eventually creating a master plan 

and things like that. Councilmember Mack 

kind of spearheaded that and said it would 

be great to look into doing some public 

sculptures.” 

The idea was the foundation for the current 

The Shape of Community program. 

According to Granaas, funding for the 

endeavor came from the O’Fallon Convention 

and Visitor Bureau [OCVB] through 

the city, with additional funding coming 

from grants from entities like the Missouri 

Arts Council. 

“We figured, ‘OK, now that we’ve got 

the seed money, let’s go ahead and start 

with what the community wants and go 

from there [and] develop a cultural arts 

plan,’” Granaas said. 

To determine exactly what residents 

want, the city held town hall meetings 

and implemented questionnaires and 

surveys to gather community input. By 

2016, the Art and Culture Plan was created 

to expand and facilitate programming 

opportunities centered around 

art and culture. One of its many goals 

was to help foster “the commissioning, 

acquisition, presentation and preservation 

of permanent and temporary 

public art.” 

In addition to serving as a guide for new 

programs, the plan also discusses expansions 

and improvements to current programs, 

such as O’FallonTheatreWorks and 

the multiple collections at the city’s Cultural 

Arts Gallery at Renaud Spirit Center. 

However, according to Granaas, the idea 

of community sculptures was specifically 

identified as a desire in the community. 

“The main thrust of it all was, ‘let’s bring 

in public sculptures’ because that’s something 

that the public wanted, and one of 

the items people really wanted to see done,” 

Granaas said. “That registered really high in 

the rankings. It was actually number one.” 

The city sent out a Request for Proposals 

for the project, with submissions due 

by May 4. According to Granaas, about 11 

requests have been submitted thus far from 

artists in states like Colorado, Texas and 

Pennsylvania. 

The O’Fallon Cultural Arts Commission 

[CAC] will serve as the selection committee 

and score each submission in advance. 

Final selections will be presented for 

review by the OCVB and approval by the 

city council. Based on the works selected, 

specific locations will be determined by 

the CAC and managing consultants, with 

input from city’s Parks and Recreation 

staff. Approval would be granted based on 

technical reviews by the city council. 

The goal is to have OCVB reviews 

underway by June and for the city council 

to review and approve the selected works. 

Artists’ contracts would then be drawn 

up, with artwork delivery and installation 

slated for August. 

The chosen pieces would be de-installed 

by March 2020, followed by a six-month 

lull dedicated to repairing and maintaining 

the concrete pads and sending out another 

call for artists. 

“If all goes well with this first round and 

we’re getting interest from the hospitals or 

the libraries, or some bigger corporations 

who want to participate, we can incorporate 

them into the fold, too,” Granaas said. 

Discussions, deliberations continue regarding Missouri Bluffs development 

By BRIAN FLINCHPAUGH 

Those opposed to a proposed rezoning and 

concept plan to allow a large housing development 

near the Missouri Bluffs Golf Course 

got a bit of a rebuke from a St. Charles 

County councilmember after two hours of 

review at the council’s early April meeting. 

The annexation bill and plan were given 

a first reading on April 9, but the council 

did not vote on the bill that evening. 

County Councilmember Joe Brazil 

[District 2] said he was concerned that the 

evidence provided by people opposed to 

the development didn’t provide more legal 

reasons for opposing it. 

The application seeks to rezone a largely 

tree-covered, 386.52-acre tract south of 

the Missouri Research Park, west of Interstate 

64, and north of the Missouri River 

near Weldon Spring and Weldon Spring 

Heights. The rezoning would be from 

floodway fringe overlay and agricultural 

to R1- A planned unit development overlay. 

In February, the developers – Missouri 

Bluffs Golf Joint Ventures and NT Home 

Builders – agreed to amend an earlier submitted 

rezoning request and development 

plan. The University of Missouri, which 

owns the ground, has said it would 

sell the property to the developers 

with the approval of an acceptable 

rezoning and concept plan. 

A change in zoning classification 

to R1-A overlay would limit 

multi-family dwelling units. The 

multi-phased proposal includes 289 

detached, single-family homes on 

190.94 acres and up to 73 singlefamily 

attached dwellings on over 

7.26 acres. That’s down from the 

original 315 single-family homes 

and 120 multi-family units. 

The existing 18-hole golf course occupies 

184.47 acres. The property has been 

zoned agricultural since 1959. 

Brazil said he was perplexed about what 

is the right thing to do and not make a 

decision based on emotion because people 

don’t want to see development in the area. 

At the commission’s March 21 meeting 

and at the council’s April 9 meeting, 

nearby residents largely spoke against the 

rezoning and plan, questioning the loss 

of scenic property near the Katy Trail, 

the amount of new traffic the development 

might generate on steep and narrow 

roads, potential land use conflicts with a 

A proposed subdivision near the Missouri Bluffs Golf 

Course continues to be a hot topic at council meetings. 

Zoltek Industries manufacturing facility 

and a Duckett Creek Sewer District treatment 

plant nearby, the need to upgrade the 

intersections of Research Park Drive and 

Research Park Circle, and whether it was 

proper for the university to sell the land. 

Brad Goss, an attorney for NRT Home 

Builders, noted at both meetings that the 

concept plan for the development would 

“work with the land” to minimize impacts 

and incorporate measures to protect the 

local environment including landscaping 

that utilizes native plants. 

After four hours of debate and discussion, 

the commission voted 8-1 against recommending 

the rezoning and concept plan be 

approved by the council. Commissioners 

said they liked the plan but that it was the 

wrong piece of property for the development. 

They cited the amount of opposition 

as an indication for their decision. 

On April 9, in addition to public comments 

for and against the rezoning and 

concept plan, the county council quizzed 

the developers, opponents and county staff 

regarding various aspects of the plan and 

the property’s geographic relationship to 

the nearby August A. Busch Wildlife area 

and the Katy Trail. 

Brazil said a lot of those letters presented 

“a false narrative” because the development 

wasn’t near the trail or the August A. Busch 

Wildlife area. The University, as the landowner, 

has rights, Brazil said. The county 

can’t make the land unusable or lower its 

property value to zero. 

“So this council has to look at the law, 

too. It certainly can’t rule on emotion,” he 

said. “I’m concerned the argument wasn’t 

on point for interference with the Katy 

Trail and Busch Wildlife area.” 

Councilmember John White [District 7] 

asked Dan Burkhardt, an opponent who

Local cities may join forces to educate voters with use tax messaging 


St. Charles County cities who have 

placed a use tax on their Aug. 7 ballots may 

join forces to educate voters. 

Cottleville, Lake Saint Louis, O’Fallon, 

St. Peters, St. Charles, Weldon Spring each 

have placed separate “use tax” positions on 

their ballots. A use tax is a sales tax applied 

to the purchase of goods purchased from 

out-of-state vendors that annually total 

$2,000 or more. Currently, sales taxes 

apply only to local retail purchases. A use 

tax is designed to capture lost sales tax 

revenue. It is applied to the same type of 

products that are subject to sales tax and 

items exempt from sales taxes would be 

exempt from use taxes. Use tax rates must 

be reduced or raised the same amount as 

city sales taxes. 

Use taxes have to be considered and voted 

on separately in each municipality; however, 

city officials are exploring using some 

common messaging in explaining the tax. 

Lake Saint Louis Police Chief Chris 

DiGiuseppi is helping to organize a committee 

of city residents, headed by former 

Lake Saint Louis Police Chief Mike Force, 

to support the passage of the use tax in that 

city. DiGiuseppi told the city’s Board of 

Aldermen at its April 16 meeting that by 

joining together, smaller cities may able to 

use video production and other resources 

from larger cities in developing public 

information messages on the tax. 

“The cities cannot tell somebody how to 

vote,” Lisa Bedian, St. Peters’ communications 

director, said last week. “What we try 

to do is provide educational information.” 

Bedian, whose city has a large communications 

staff, said discussions have just 

begun. “It’s really at the formative stage. 

It’s a good idea for cities to be sharing 

information or making sure their information 

is clear for the voters,” Bedian said. 

Use taxes aren’t new. Currently, 45 states 

and 105 Missouri cities with populations of 

more than 5,000 already have use taxes in 

place, including Wentzville, Foristell, the 

state of Missouri and St. Charles County. 

However, as Bedian pointed out, “It’s not 

talked about very often.” 

Use taxes can generate significant annual 

revenue for cities, perhaps as much as $2.8 

million for O’Fallon, $400,000 for Lake 

Saint Louis and $65,000 for Cottleville, 

according to estimates by the Missouri 

Municipal League, though some city officials 

are skeptical. 

Each city would make its own decision 

on where the funding would go. St. Peters 

and Lake Saint Louis have discussed using 

use tax revenue for police and law enforcement 

purposes. 

MISSOURI BLUFFS, from page 10 

spoke before both the Planning and Zoning 

Commission and the council, whether 

there was a development plan that was 

acceptable. 

“I think there are types of development 

that would be acceptable here but certainly 

not 350 homes and 2 miles of road on this 

small bit of land,” Burkhardt said. 

Burkhardt said the University of Missouri 

has the capability of coming up with 

a more sustainable, acceptable plan. He 

said the area near the bluffs is unique and 

noted that areas to the west along Hwy. 94 

and west of I-64/Hwy. 40 to the Daniel 

Boone Home have been “sacrosanct and 

preserved.” He lauded the county’s role in 

ensuring that action. 

Burkhardt said the developers’ plans are 

“highly problematic,” would degrade the 

connector trail that the Great Rivers Greenway 

[the regional public developer] has 

put in place to connect with the Katy Trail, 

and would “create noise pollution” and 

“all that goes with residential development.” 

He called actions that the developers 

proposed to limit the development’s 

impact “greenwashing” and said the project 

is “cloaked” in environmental terms or 

language. 

No action was taken on April 9; however, 

a vote could come at the council’s next 

scheduled meeting on April 30.

Heel pain? We have solutions! 

Pain upon first few steps in the morning? 

Stabbing pain in the middle of the 

heel? Severe pain by the end of the 

day? If any of these describes your feet you 

may have the dreaded 

Dr. Hays 

Plantar Fasciitis. 

Plantar Fasciitis is an 

inflammation of the 

tendon band that runs 

between the toes and 

heel along the bottom 

of the foot. Repeated 

strain of the Plantar 

Fascia can cause tiny 

tears in the tendon 

leading to pain and swelling. Heel spurs, 

a hook of bone that can form on the heel 

bone, results from an abnormal pulling of 

the Plantar Fascia on the heel bone. It doesn’t 

sound serious, and 

its definitely not life 

threatening, but it 

hurts a lot more than 

you’d expect. There 

are several causes 

of Plantar Fasciitis 

including trauma to 

the foot, poor footwear, flatfoot deformity, 

high arches, tight calf muscles, and weight 

gain. Other causes of heel pain include 

arthritis, a nerve problem known as tarsal 

tunnel syndrome, or a stress fracture to your 

heel bone. Conservative home treatments 

for Plantar Fasciitis include rest, stretching 

the heel, ice, reducing high impact exercises, 

and buying new shoes with extra padding/ 

arch support. Should these treatments 

fail, you should contact your Podiatrist 

for evaluation, diagnosis and treatment. 

Catching the heel pain as soon as the 

symptoms begin, and early treatment of the 

Plantar Fascial pain increases the likelihood 

that conservative care will be successful. A 

Podiatrist will evaluate your feet, and take 

x-rays to ensure you do in fact have Plantar 

Fasciitis. Once you have the diagnosis of 

Plantar Fasciitis possible treatments include: 

antiinflammatories, physical therapy, 

injections, and custom made orthotics. 

Due to the severity of the condition 

sometimes surgery is needed to correct 

the deformity. Hays Foot and Ankle Centers 

specialize in the diagnosis, management, 

and treatment of all foot disorders. Please

your Plantar Fascial pain. We have two

Safety first at summer sports camps 

Summer is a great time for young athletes 

to hone their skills at a variety of 

sports camps. The camaraderie and exercise 

can be fun and simultaneously educational. 

The summer sun and heat, however, 

can make children susceptible to health 

concerns such as dehydration, sunstroke 

and heatstroke. 

Let’s review some precautionary steps 

parents can take to protect their children 

when engaged in summer sports camps. 

Allow time for the body to get acclimated. 

The best defense against heat-related illnesses 

is to allow the body to gradually get 

used to the heat, which helps the body be 

able to tolerate high temperatures. 

One to two weeks before children attend 

a summer sports camp, they should gradually 

increase the duration and intensity 

of their outdoor exercise or activity. This 

especially is important for children and 

teens who may be out of shape and who 

have not played any sports for a while. 

Drink plenty of fluids. 

Staying hydrated is one of the easiest 

ways to help prevent heat-related illness, 

yet young athletes still need frequent 

reminders to drink up. Parents should 

make sure unlimited amounts of water are 

available for their children for the duration 

of the sports camp, in addition to making 

certain their children drink plenty of water 

both before and after the camp activities. 

Staying hydrated is key to maintaining 

an adequate body temperature. 

Watch for danger signs and take time 

to cool down. 

Anticipating and recognizing the onset 

of a heat-related illness is critical in preventing 

a dangerous outcome. While the 

signs and symptoms generally are nonspecific 

– disorientation, dizziness, weakness, 

headache and vomiting – careful observation 

of behavior will help minimize risk. 

If your child is not behaving typically and 

the weather makes heat a concern, parents 

should investigate. Parents know their 

children best and can recognize when 

something is not quite right. If a child is 

overheated, remove any heavy equipment 

such as protective gear, a helmet or shin 

guards, give them cold water and insist 

they take time to rest. 

The National Athletic Trainers’ Association 

recommends the following safety tips 

for athletes engaged in summer sports: 

• Have sports drinks on 

hand for workout sessions 

lasting longer than an hour. 

• Keep beverages cold 

– cold beverages are consumed 

50 percent more 

than warm beverages. 

• Hydrate before, during 

and after activity. 

• Remove unnecessary 

equipment, such as helmets 

and padding, when 

environmental conditions 

become extreme. 

• Clothing should be lightcolored 

and lightweight.

The Francis Howell High Golden Girls were crowned state champions at 

the Missouri Dance Team Association State Competition – their sixth state 

championship title in the last nine years.

Back-to-back state titles for Francis 

Howell High’s Golden Girls 

The Francis Howell High Golden Girls 

dance team has again been crowned state 

champions at the Missouri Dance Team 

Association State Competition. This is the 

third time in the last four years that the 

team has won the Class 6 State Championship, 

and the sixth state championship title 

in the last nine years for the dance dynasty. 

The athletes overcame challenges early 

in the season and pulled together to come 

out on top. After disappointing finishes 

in their first two competitions of the year, 

Coach Courtney Kassabaum and the members 

of the team decided to update their 

dance routines. 

“Our season did not start out how we 

expected. We did not place as we had 

hoped in our local competitions and knew 

that we needed to make changes to our 

dances in order to get the results we hoped 

for,” said Kassabaum. 

After changing the choreography 

of the jazz and hiphop 

routines, the girls had 

to work hard to ensure that 

every turn, spin and step was 

in sync and ready for the next 

competition. 

“After those changes were 

made, the dances completely 

changed and the girls had to 

work harder than ever,” said 

Kassabaum. 

“We fought for each other 

and worked hard for each 

other, not just our own personal benefits,” 

said Madison Osborne, Francis Howell 

High senior and a captain of the team. 

“We have learned how to push ourselves 

through the tough times – mentally and 

physically.” 

To help keep morale high, the dancers 

came up with a motto to motivate and support 

them through the rough patches. They 

challenged themselves that, “No Matter 

What,” they would give everything they 

had on the dance floor. 

“They knew that becoming back-to-back 

champions was not going to be easy. They 

wanted to show everyone that they could 

do it, and that’s exactly what they did!” 

said Kassabaum. 

At the state level, the Golden Girls took 

first place for their Lyrical Jazz and Hip- 

Hop performances, which secured their 

position at the top as the 2018 Overall 

State Champion.

Zumwalt East golfer Heimann intent 

on getting back to state tournament 

By JONATHAN DUNCAN 



I SPORTS I 23 

As he goes through his senior 

season with the Fort Zumwalt East 

Lions, Nick Heimann is staying 

level-headed and not cutting any 

corners. He is intent on having a 

solid senior season on the links and 

has led the way as the Lions’ top performer. 

Heading into the final week of the 

season, he was in the area’s top 12 

for lowest 18-hole scores and shot 

an eye-popping 79, good for second 

place, at the Bulldog Battle at Wing- 

Haven Country Club on April 9. 

Then, he shot a 74 at the Bogey Hills 

Invitational at Bogey Hills Country 

Club on April 16. 

“The first tournament at Wing- 

Haven, I came out strong and shot 

a 74. Then, after that, [people] 

expected that every time but I had to 

take a step back and realize what I can 

and can’t control,” Heimann said. 

His strong run into the final week of 

the regular season was hardly a surprise 

to Fort Zumwalt East coach Dave Biesenthal. 

“I kind of expected it from him this 

year,” Biesenthal said. “He did well 

last year and I knew coming into his 

senior season, he was going to do well. 

He’s put high expectations on himself, 

so there was not much I had to do as a 

coach to motivate him. [Just] keep him 

focused and keep him going and do what 

I can to help have as much success as 

he can.” 

Biesenthal said that Heimann’s success 

on the greens is very much a matter of 

constant preparation and tinkering with 

his game. 

“He works on his game and I never 

have to ask him twice to go to practice. 

I know on the weekends he’s working on 

his game,” Biesenthal said. “He works 

through the summer and he’s been playing 

for more years than I can count, so he 

knows how to avoid the big pitfalls and 

how to stay on top of things.” 

This spring has been a bit more challenging, 

preparation-wise. Because of 

the recent rainy and cold weather, practice 

time has been limited for him and his 

teammates. 

“We really haven’t had many practice 

rounds because of all the rain, so my 

practice rounds have basically been the 

matches,” Heimann said. 

The long game worked well for Heimann 

this season and he was very 

comfortable using his drivers and irons 

Fort Zumwalt East golfer Nick Heimann 

throughout the course. 

“Right now, I’m driving the ball well 

and my irons are pretty good. I’m tweaking 

my swing a bit to make sure I’m 

going the right way and distance and I’m 

just pretty comfortable with every club in 

the bag,” he said. 

College golf is not in the future for Heimann 

but he still plans on being involved 

in the game after he leaves Fort Zumwalt 

East. He will major in golf course management 

when he begins classes at Eastern 

Kentucky University next fall. 

“I will major in marketing with an 

emphasis in professional golf management,” 

Heimann said. “I won’t be on the 

gold team but I love the game so much 

that I just want to keep growing the game 

and give whatever contributions I can to 

the sport. I plan on going into the golf 

industry after I attend college.” 

The four-year run at Zumwalt East has 

been a lot of fun for Heimann but he said 

it’s not the competition that he’ll miss as 

much as the practices and the time spent 

with his teammates. 

“I’m gonna miss the practices the most. 

There’s a group of us that stop by Taco 

Bell before practice and we’ll be late 

sometimes but the coach handles it well,” 

Heimann said. “I’m going to miss just 

having people around you that enjoy the 

game.” 

Heimann made it to state in 2017, 

finishing 19th, and, as the 2018 regular 

season wrapped up, he clearly was 

focused on one thing – a return trip to the 

Class 4 Tournament. 

“I would like to finish in the top five at 

state,” Heimann said.

New guidelines for pediatricians put them on the front lines of screening for 

depression in their teenage patients. 

health 

capsules 

By LISA RUSSELL 

New depression screening 

guidelines issued for teens 

To combat the growing problem of teen 

depression – which now is estimated to 

affect one in five young people during their 

adolescent years – the American Academy 

of Pediatrics [AAP] recently updated 

its medical guidelines to more directly 

involve pediatricians in its diagnosis and 

treatment. The new “Guidelines for Adolescent 

Depression in Primary Care” state 

that pediatricians and other primary medical 

providers are a key first line of care 

in recognizing and treating depression in 

teenagers. This is the first update to the 

guidelines in 10 years. 

For the first time, the new guidelines 

call for universal depression screening for 

adolescents age 12 and older. They also 

recommend that pediatricians spend time 

alone with young patients during well 

visits, sports physicals or other regular 

office visits at least once per year, to enable 

them to ask questions privately concerning 

teens’ mental health. 

The guidelines distinguish between 

between mild, moderate and severe forms 

of Major Depressive Disorder and provide 

direction for physicians on when to consult 

with mental health care providers. The new 

recommendations also call for families 

with a depressed teen to develop a safety 

plan restricting the young person’s access 

to lethal means of harm, such as firearms, 

in the home. Adolescent suicide risk is 

strongly associated with firearm availability, 

according to a previous AAP report. 

“A lot of parents go to their pediatrician for 

the scraped knees and sore throats but don’t 

think of them when it comes to seeking help 

for emotional and behavioral issues …[but] 

the earlier we identify teenagers who show 

signs of depression, the better the outcome,” 

said Rachel Zuckerbrot, M.D., FAAP, a lead 

author of the guidelines. 

Universal ‘cure’ for allergies 

could be a step closer 

Spring is – at long last – underway in the 

St. Louis area, along with National Asthma 

and Allergy Awareness Month, which takes 

place in May of each year. As welcome as 

the delayed change of seasons may be, it 

will also undoubtedly set off an annual 

cycle of allergies to everything from tree 

pollen to mold in area residents. 

But help may be on the horizon. A team of 

European researchers say they have recently 

uncovered a mechanism to totally inactivate 

the body’s allergic response. This breakthrough, 

they claim, brings science one step 

closer to developing a universal treatment to 

prevent allergies in humans. 

When an allergen enters the body of 

an allergic person, it causes that person’s 

immune system to call upon a protective 

antibody called immunoglobulin E [IgE] 

to fight the invading substance. Although 

everyone has some IgE, an allergic person 

has an unusually large number of these IgE 

defenders. The IgE antibodies bind to special 

cells called mast cells, which in turn 

releases histamines into the tissues and 

blood – causing a cascade of allergic reactions, 

from hay fever to asthma and more. 

In the new study, scientists used substances 

called anti-IgE antibodies to prevent 

the allergen-induced IgE molecules 

from binding with mast cells in the first 

place, blocking histamine production. 

Using cells from patients with birch pollen 

and insect venom allergies, they were able 

to stop allergic reactions in the cells in as 

little as 15 minutes. Disrupting this process 

can effectively stop all allergic symptoms 

from appearing, no matter how much of an 

allergen is present, they said. 

“Once the IgE on immune cells can be 

eliminated, it doesn’t matter that the body 

produces millions of allergen-specific IgE 

molecules,” said lead researcher Edzard 

Spillner, of the Department of Engineering 

at Aarhus University. “When we can 

remove the trigger, the allergic reaction 

and symptoms will not occur.” 

Although any commercial use of the 

New research suggests that a universal cure 

for allergies of all types may soon be possible. 

antibody in allergy therapy is still several 

years away, the long-term implications of 

their research look extremely promising 

in the development of new and potentially 

universal allergy treatments, Spillner said.

The Corporate Pavilion in 370 Lakeside Park 

Sunset Fridays return to 370 Lakeside 

Park with summer fun for all 

By KATE UPTERGROVE 

Fans enjoying Oh Brother in 2017 under the 

Corporate Pavilion 

It’s back! Or it will be soon enough – 

lazy Friday nights sitting by the edge of 

a lake listening to familiar favorites and 

new discoveries while catching up with 

friends and enjoying what St. Peters Mayor 

Len Pagano says is the “best sunset in St. 

Charles County.” 

Sunset Fridays in 370 Lakeside Park, 

sponsored in part by Mid Rivers Newsmagazine, 

returns on May 18 with the 

rock/acoustic stylings of Wade Trent. Trent, 

who went to Buchanan High in Troy, is 

more than just a local boy, he’s a bonafide 

fan favorite and he’s not the only favorite 

making Sunset Fridays a return destination 

all summer long. Also returning are several 

nights of food truck favorites and dinner, 

snacks and refreshments including ice cold 

beer, soft drinks and wine served by the 

Gator Island Grill starting at 6 p.m. every 

Friday of the concert season. 

Concert-goers are encouraged to bring 

lawn chairs and blankets though earlyarriving 

patrons may be able to find a 

comfortable seat in the Corporate Pavilion, 

which is furnished with outdoor furniture 

and seats more than 300 guests. Picnic 

baskets and drinks also are welcome, but 

outside alcoholic beverages and glass containers 

may not be brought into the Corporate 

Pavilion area. 

“We’re looking forward to another jampacked 

season of Sunset Fridays concerts 

this summer,” said St. Peters Mayor Len 

Pagano. “The beautiful sunsets and winery-like 

atmosphere at 370 Lakeside Park 

draws in hundreds of people from all over 

the area every Friday night for our free live 

concerts. If you’ve never been, you have 

to come check it out – it’s always a good 

time!” 

The full music and food truck lineup, in 

date order, includes: 

May 18 – Wade Trent [rock/acoustic] 

May 25 – Zydeco Crawdaddys [Zydeco/ 

Creole/Cajun] 

June 1 – Dawn Weber Jazz Quartet

“Doctor Publicly Announces Disgust and Concerns…” 

And does something about it for the county of St. Charles… 

Dear friend, 

In my profession, it’s considered ‘politically 

incorrect’ to speak out against the status quo. But, 

the time for remaining silent is over. It’s time to 

tell the truth. 

I want to give you some staggering statistics. Let’s 

start with this one. Fourteen percent of our gross 

national product goes to health care, yet according 

to the World Health Organization, we rank twentyninth 

in the list of healthy nations. That tells me 

something is very wrong. 

There’s more than one thing to blame for this. The 

heads of several HMO’s make tens of millions of 

dollars per year while 46 million Americans can’t 

afford health insurance. Here’s something else. On 

July 26, 2000,the Journal of the American Medical 

Association reported that, according to Johns 

Hopkins, medication errors are the third leading 

cause of death in the U.S. 

Are you paying too much for health care, and not 

getting the results you want? Then listen to this… 

A few years back, a researcher studied the records 

of 395,641 patients. What he found was absolutely 

shocking. The claims were divided into people 

that used chiropractic care, and people that used 

only medicine. The ones that used chiropractic had 

“significantly lower health care costs, saving an 

average of $1,000 each over the two-year period.” 

Am I disgusted? You bet I am. And maybe you 

should be, too. Since I’m on “a soapbox” now, let 

me tell you a bit about me, before I go on. 

Years ago, I was just another athletic teenage boy 

playing with his friends in upstate New York, until I 

developed a series of “ear and sinus infections.” In 

my case it came on little by little. The pain in my 

sinuses, ears, nose and chest was so intense that 

there were times when I couldn’t breathe well 

enough to keep up with others (by the way, that’s 

me running a half Ironman last year). Sometimes 

my sinuses felt so swollen that my vision would 

blur and I would get awful headaches and earaches. 

I was afraid that I’d lose my friendships and 

my self confidence in my body if this disability 

continued. After a lot of medications and multiple 

surgeries, I decided there had to be another option. 

But, there’s more… 

My uncle convinced me to give a chiropractor a 

try. The chiropractor did an exam, took some films, 

and then “adjusted” my spine. The adjustment 

didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. I got relief, 

and I could begin breathing normally again. It 

worked so well that I went to chiropractic school 

myself. 

It’s strange how life is because now people come 

to see me with their sinus problems. Also, they 

come to me with their headaches, migraines, 

chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder or arm pain, 

whiplash from car accidents, backaches, ear 

infections, asthma, allergies, numbness in limbs 

and athletic injuries, just to name a few. 

Here’s what some of my patients had to say: “I had 

headaches for years. I was sent to every specialist 

and did all the tests. Then, I saw Dr. Hamed. Now, 

I have no more headaches.” (Christie D., nurse.- 

St. Charles) 

“I was the official “doubting Thomas” about 

chiropractic and now I’m a believer!” (Carol K.- 

St. Peters) 

“2 years ago I was a mess! I am so glad I believed 

in Dr. Jay. Thank you for all your advice, help, 

care and friendship.” (Diane P., teacher-O’Fallon) 

Being a chiropractor can be tough, because 

there’s a host of so-called experts out there. They 

tell people a lot of things that are just plain 

ridiculous about my profession. It’s time we, 

as a nation, got to the core of the problem. How 

long can we go on just covering up symptoms with 

drugs and not stressing preventative care? The 

system isn’t working well, and it’s time people 

opened their eyes to a different point of view. 

Look, I’m not a miracle worker, and I’ve never 

claimed to be. But, here’s something else you 

should know. A Virginia study showed that well 

over 95% of chiropractic patients were satisfied 

with their care. That’s just incredible. 

Despite what you think however, I’ve never 

healed anyone of anything. What I do is perform 

a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve 

pressure and help balance the body, and the body 

responds by healing itself. We get tremendous 

results. It’s as simple as that! My job is to work 

with the body, teach you how to be healthy and to 

do my best to help you get there. And, something 

else. Besides getting on this soapbox, I’m going to 

do something about it… 

How You Can Benefit if You Act Now- Look, it 

shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg to correct your 

health. You are going to write a check to someone 

for your health care expenses, you may as well 

write one for a lesser amount for chiropractic. When 

you respond to this offer you’ll receive my entire 

new patient exam for just $37. That’s with x-rays, 

paraspinal thermal imaging….the whole ball of 

wax. This exam could cost you $350 elsewhere. 

But, please call right away because this terrific offer 

will expire promptly on May 16, 2018. And, further 

care is very affordable, and you’ll be happy to know 

that I have affordable family plans. 

Great care at a great fee…Please, I hope that 

there’s no misunderstanding about quality of care 

just because I have a lower exam fee. You’ll get 

great care at a great fee. My qualifications…I’m 

a graduate of both Skidmore College and Logan 

College who has published articles in leading 

international journals. 

I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies 

to pro athletes that you may know, and I have 

even traveled to the Dominican Republic to serve 

those people in need of care. After practicing in 

Tulsa for three years, I moved my practice to 

O’Fallon. I just have that low fee to help more 

people who need care. My assistant is Nicole, 

and she is a really great person. Our office is both 

friendly and warm, and we try our best to make 

you feel at home. We have a wonderful service 

at an exceptional fee. Our office is called THE 

WELLNESS CONNECTION, and it is at 111 

O’Fallon Commons Drive (we are a block from 

Hwy K & N intersection). Our phone number is 

636-978-0970. Call Nicole or me today for an 

appointment. We can help you. 

Thank you, 

Jason Hamed, D.C. 

P.S. When accompanied by the first, I am also 

offering the second family member this same 

examination for only $17. 

P.P.S. Can you imagine not having to wait at a 

doctor’s office? Well, your time is as valuable as 

mine is. That’s why we have a no-wait policy. You 

will be seen within minutes of your appointment.

30 I COVER STORY I 





Now in its fourth decade, 

St. Charles Community College 

continues to evolve 


There is no typical community college 

student these days. And St. Charles Community 

College [SCC] isn’t your typical 

community college. That’s becoming truer 

than ever as both students and school – 

along with the needs of the community – 

adjust to changing times. 

There already is a long list of positives 

that college and school district officials 

as well as local businessmen extol about 

the community college here, located on 

a 228-acre, 12-building campus in Cottleville. 

And that list is getting longer, even 

though the institution, in the grand scheme 

of things, is quite young. 

SCC was established in 1986 as a public, 

comprehensive two-year community college 

with associate degrees and certificate 

programs in the arts, businesses, sciences 

and career-technical fields. Today, SCC 

also provides workforce and communitybased 

training. 

It held its first classes in 1987 with about 

400 students in attendance that summer. 

The number of students has fluctuated in 

recent years and is down a bit compared 

to the recession a decade ago. Periods of 

high employment tend to drop enrollment, 

college and local officials say. 

SCC has about 7,000 students now, 

nearly equally divided between full-time 

and part-time students. Their average age 

is about 23. 

One out of every five St. Charles County 

high school graduates attends SCC. Its 

tuition, at $103 per credit hour for indistrict 

students, ranks in the middle of 12 

community colleges in Missouri and did 

not raise this year. SCC’s operating levy is 

22.40 cents per $100 assessed valuation. 

Nontraditional growth 

Besides being affordable, people also 

like the school. 

“No matter who I talk to, whether they 

are a community member or a foundation 

board member or a former student, I 

always hear nothing but how much they 

love this college,” said SCC President Barbara 

R. Kavalier, Ph.D. 

Kavalier is the college district’s fourth 

president, hired 1.5 years ago. 

“The kind of things they speak to is how 

beautiful this campus is. We are fortunate 

that we have one of the most attractive 

campuses in the state, an 

excellent faculty, all the 

partnerships we have like 

the police academy that is 

housed here at St. Charles 

Community College, or [that 

it is a] place where a community 

group can lease space 

for a community event,” 

Kavalier said. “So I think I 

would say the community 

sees us first and foremost as 

a very valuable resource to 

the community whether that 

is partnering with us for an 

event or using our space or for their children 

to come here and get their two-year 

degree.” 

Kavalier said the majority of students 

still have traditional hopes, receiving their 

associate degree or 

completing their general 

education core 

requirements and then 

transferring to a university 

or college. Traditional 

students from 

age 18-21 make up 

61.5 percent of SCC’s 

student body. But 

things are changing. 

“That’s because our 

mission is an opendoor 

mission,” Kavalier 

said. “We offer 

programs, services 

and activities for all 

ages and populations 

– anything that serves 

the needs of our community.” 

Kavalier 

Kavalier said the college district certainly 

has seen growth in its nontraditional 

population. 

“There has been some variance in that 

over the past 10 to 15 years but, for the 

most part, the largest amount of students – 

the area where we’ve seen the most growth, 

particularly in the last three to five years, 

has certainly been the more nontraditional 

students pursuing more short-term and 

workforce technical training,” she said. 

Nontraditional students make up 35.5 

percent of SCC students. “It’s larger than 

some people realize,” Kavalier said. 

Among business and community leaders, 

however, workforce development has 

been upfront because of a need for skilled 

One of the 12 buildings that make up the St. Charles Community College campus 

employees, which has evolved in the last 

decade – workers that are hard to find. 

“When I came on board, as I met with 

community leaders, business leaders, even 

some our representatives, I heard the same 

message over and over 

again – St. Charles 

Community College 

needs to expand its 

workforce and technical 

programs,” Kavalier 

said. “What we’re 

hearing from business 

and industry is that 

there is a significant 

shortage in so-called 

middle-skill jobs – 

those jobs that require 

some college but not 

necessarily a bachelor’s 

degree.” 

Workforce training 

and noncredit training 

is a priority for SCC, 

Kavalier said. “We just want to take it to 

another level.” 

More degrees, training planned 

The college now provides noncredit 

class offerings to 20,000 or more students 

a year. Plans are for more classes and programs 

soon. 

One of those changes, happening in 

recent years, is the college’s expansion of 

its nursing and allied health programs. A 

splashy move in this area was the college’s 

acquisition of the former Barat Academy in 

Dardenne Prairie in December 2016. The 

69,000-square-foot building and 28-acre 

site at 1 Academy Place, located north of 

Interstate 64, was purchased from Lindenwood 

University. 

Lindenwood bought the former high 

school in 2012 and the university and SCC 

announced a partnership that brought both 

school’s nursing programs under one roof 

at that time. But Lindenwood moved its 

nursing program back to its St. Charles 

campus in 2015. 

SCC’s acquisition will serve as the district’s 

first satellite location and allow an 

expansion of its nursing and allied health 

offerings along with more workforce and 

industry programs. New and expanded 

programs will include associate degrees 

in nursing, medical assisting and occupational 

therapy assistant, to name a few. 

“I think purchasing the new building, 

wow, what a wonderful opportunity that 

was to communicate to our community that 

we do things other than the traditional,” 

Kavalier said. 

The building also has offered an opportunity 

for people to showcase their affection 

for the college. 

“A doctor in St. Louis who knew our 

reputation found out about the building 

and donated more than $300,000 in furniture 

and equipment,” Kavalier said. “Her 

donation outfitted our medical assistant 

facility. We didn’t have to spend anything, 

how wonderful is that? That tells you that 

people see this as a good thing, it’s needed 

[and] they want to support it. In a year and 

a half, we went from nothing to enrolling 

students.” 

Students also can take courses online 

including those that are requirements for 

associate degrees in business administration, 

banking and finance, and marketing. 

Workers can acquire new skills in what is 

known as a “stackable credential.” Someone 

who doesn’t want a degree can take a

tificate that might add to their expertise and 

result in a pay raise. 

But the big news will be the development 

in coming years of a new agricultural 

program. 

Kavalier said the college is wedding its 

nursing and allied health program with 

its fledgling agricultural program to work 

toward developing a community health 

program. So far, community businesses 

have been supportive, saying the program 

is needed, Kavalier said. A local need also 

can mean new, local jobs. 

SCC has a Supply Chain Logistics 

and Manufacturing Technologies A.A.S. 

degree, started in 2017, that is designed 

to help workers learn the modern manufacturing 

environment used by companies 

such as Amazon, now building a new 

80,000-square-foot fulfillment facility in St. 

Peters that will create about 1,500 new jobs. 

Finding and funding the future 

Along with growth comes the need to 

meet the financial pressures of an evolving 

institution. 

The SCC College Taxing District 

includes all five public school districts in 

the county. Its extended service area also 

includes Callaway, Lincoln, Montgomery 

and Pike counties. Most of those counties 

are growing, particularly St. Charles 

County. 

“We’ve been very well managed, we’ve 

been good stewards of our funds and we 

have a healthy reserve,” Kavalier said. 

SCC, with about a $40 million annual 

budget, was able to weather a possible cut 

in state funding dangled by state officials 

earlier this year. 

There is no conversation now about seeking 

a local tax increase but Kavalier said 

there has been some talk of the college’s 

separate 501(c)(3) foundation launching a 

capital campaign in two to four years and 

setting a goal to raise funds for new classrooms 

and laboratories. 

“I think we will see a successful capital 

campaign that will lead to some new buildings 

or remodeling old space,” she said. “I 

think you’re going to see more programs 

in the workforce technical side, more allied 

health programs, more connections and 

outreach with our community.” 

There may be another campus in the 

future to serve students in more rural areas 

because students have to drive so far to get 

to SCC’s campus in Cottleville, Kavalier 

said. The college district also may be a 

place where international students more 

easily can transfer to four-year schools. In 

April, SCC and the University of Missouri- 

St. Louis signed an agreement to that effect. 

Still, despite all the positives, Kavalier 

said, “I think students who are not interested 

in an education are simply not going 

anywhere. And I think our job at the college 

is to reach out to those students, 

who are only interested in 

developing a skill and going to 

work, which is great and a wonderful 

thing, but I’m not so sure they 

are aware of all we have to offer 

and that they can come here for 

just six months and learn to weld 

or whatever. 

“I think that’s the opportunity we 

have to reach out to those students, 

who wouldn’t come here anyway, 

and working in collaboration with 

business and industry try to help 

them identify their strengths.”

As the population ages, preventing and 

treating osteoporosis will become more 

important than ever before. 

Preventing the burdens 

of osteoporosis 

U.S. Census projections indicate that 

by 2050, the population of adults age 65 

and older will nearly double to almost 83 

million, up from about 43 million in 2012. 

This “graying” of America will soon result 

in some staggering statistics when it comes 

to osteoporosis, a condition characterized 

by decreased bone mass and bone density 

that primarily impacts older women. By 

2025, for example, the annual number of 

“fragility fractures” in adults caused by 

osteoporosis is projected to exceed 3 million, 

and will cost the American healthcare 

system about $25 billion per year. 

But the burdens of osteoporosis extend 

far beyond financial concerns. Fragility 

fractures often lead to a rapidly declining 

quality of life, decreased mobility and, in 

some cases, death. Hip fractures are especially 

devastating – statistics show that 

less than half of seniors who survive a 

hip fracture will ever walk unaided again, 

most will require assistance with basic 

activities, and between 10 and 20 percent 

will need to move into care homes during 

the following year. 

The best ways to combat osteoporosis 

are prevention – which is possible in 

many cases – timely screening, and proper 

treatment. During National Osteoporosis 

Awareness and Prevention Month in May, 

older adults are encouraged to understand 

the risk factors for osteoporosis, know 

when to be screened for it and learn how 

to keep fragility fractures from occurring 

whenever possible. 

Basic measures every adult can take to 

promote healthy bones include getting sufficient 

dietary calcium; achieving adequate 

levels of vitamin D through a nutritious 

diet and exposure to sunlight; and getting 

regular weight-bearing exercise, like 

brisk walking, jogging and weight-lifting. 

Avoiding smoking, and only drinking in 

moderation also help to reduce the risk. 

Screening for osteoporosis is called 

bone density testing, and is done 

using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry 

[DEXA] technology. The recommended 

age at which to begin screening 

depends on a variety of factors, including 

body weight, age at menopause, 

past fractures and other variables which 

should be discussed with one’s primary 

care doctor. Bone density results 

are reported using a “T-score,” which 

indicates how one’s bone density compares 

to that of a healthy 30-year-old adult. 

Lower T-scores mean lower bone density; 

a T-score of -2.5 or lower is a diagnosis of 

osteoporosis. 

Over the past 25 years, a broad range of 

pharmaceutical options have become available 

to treat osteoporosis and its precursor, 

which is called osteopenia. These medicines, 

which can significantly reduce an older person’s 

risk of a fragility fracture, are available 

in a variety of ways, which include 

daily, weekly or monthly oral tablets; periodic 

injections; or annual infusions. 

Turning away from technology 

It’s widely believed that older people 

spend less time online and use fewer digital 

technologies than their younger counterparts. 

While this has in fact been proven 

true, many seniors shun technology for 

different reasons than commonly thought, 

according to a recent study. 

Through interviews with older adults, 

researchers from Lancaster University in the 

U.K. found that the “digital divide” between 

young and old is not due to lack of access 

to technology, as many have assumed. Most 

of those surveyed did use the internet, and 

also have previously used and/or currently 

own computers. Instead, a sense of social 

responsibility may be a more important 

reason behind older people’s rejection of 

technology. For example, those interviewed 

expressed a common belief that online 

shopping takes business away from brickand-mortar 

retailers, causing people to lose 

their jobs. Some also expressed a distaste 

for social media, because they said it leads 

The reasons behind many seniors’ resistance to 

technology are complex, a recent survey found.



to societal problems like cyberbullying and 

social isolation. 

Fear of making mistakes online and 

compromising their personal security were 

other major issues causing 

older people to turn 

away from technology, the 

survey found. Many said 

they lacked confidence in 

their own knowledge of how 

to use online tools properly, 

particularly online banking, 

and expressed concern that 

their personal information 

could be exposed or stolen. 

The researchers also found 

some older people use their 

age as a “cover” for these 

and other personal reasons 

not to engage with technology. 

The study’s authors 

referred to this as “playing 

the age card,” where seniors 

blame their age for shying away from digital 

technologies. “Doing so allows older 

adults a privilege not available to most 

working-age adults, to take personal stands 

against the aspects of technology they find 

worrying, threatening or just plain annoying,” 

they wrote. The study was published 

in Communications of the ACM. 

Middle-aged women who are 

very fit may be dramatically 

less likely to develop 

Alzheimer’s disease later in 

life, research suggests. 

Fitter body, fitter brain 

Adding to the already compelling evidence 

in favor of women making physical 

fitness a top priority as they age, newly published 

research found that women who were 

“highly fit” at midlife were a whopping 

88-percent less likely to develop dementia 

at older ages than those who didn’t exercise 

as vigorously. When the women in the 

highly fit study group did develop dementia, 

the onset of disease happened an average of 

11 years later than women who were moderately 

fit [age 90 vs. age 79]. 

The study included 191 Swedish women, 

with an average age of 50, who were given 

a bicycle test to measure their cardiovascular 

fitness, and were placed into categories 

of high, medium and low fitness. 

Over the next 44 years, the women were 

tested for dementia at six intervals. During 

that time, just 5 percent of the highly fit 

women developed dementia, 

compared to 25 percent of 

moderately fit women and 

32 percent of the women 

with low fitness. Among a 

subgroup of the low-fitness 

women whose initial fitness 

tests had to be stopped due 

to chest pain or other problems, 

45 percent developed 

dementia decades later. 

“These findings are exciting 

because it’s possible that 

improving people’s cardiovascular 

fitness in middle 

age could delay or even prevent 

them from developing 

dementia,” said study author 

Helena Hörder, Ph.D., of the 

University of Gothenburg in Sweden.

Mortgage rates on the rise 

U.S. home sales increased for a second 

straight month last month amid a rebound 

in activity in the Northeast and Midwest 

regions, but a dearth of houses on the market 

and higher prices remain headwinds as the 

spring selling season kicks off. 

Economists believe some undecided 

buyers are rushing into the market to close 

contracts, fearful of further increases in 

home prices and mortgage rates. The 30-year 

fixed mortgage rate is around 4.47 percent, 

the highest level since January 2014. The 

Federal Reserve raised interest rates last 

month and the U.S. central bank forecast at 

least two more rate hikes this year, a sign 

that mortgage rates could rise further. 

Here’s what’s new in new homes: 

Fischer offers move-in-ready deals 

Why settle for less than what you really 

want? Fischer & Frichtel has a selection of 

newly built homes, ready for immediate 

occupancy or nearly completed, in prime St. 

Charles County locations. These fine homes 

assure purchasers of the latest architectural 

styling, construction components, mechanical 

systems, all-new appliances and today’s 

most fashionable interior appointments – all 

under warranty. Plus, the prices on many 

of these move-in-ready homes have been 

dramatically reduced for quick sale, which 

means even more for your money. 

In Weldon Spring, Ehlmann Farms features 

two owner-ready ranches from the 

top-of-the-line Estate Collection. Both are 

sale-priced in the mid-$700’s, with savings 

up to more than $40,000. Huge savings also 

have been applied to a Durham II ranch, 

$589,900, at Wyndgate Oaks in O’Fallon. 

And now closing out in Wentzville, 

Wilmer Valley is showcasing a ranch and a 

two-story, both ready for move-in and specially 

priced in the mid-$400’s. 

At Katiebrook Place in Cottleville, a 

1.5-story and a two-story from the charming 

Cottage Collection are available immediately 

and sale-priced at $285,900 and 

$269,900, respectively. In downtown St. 

Charles, shoppers have the choice of three 

luxurious detached villa homes, offered 

from the $280’s to low $390’s, in the hotselling 

Villages of Provence.

real estate 



plus a three-car garage on nearly 2,300 

square feet. 

“The Acadia is priced at $436,000,” Valerio 

said. “It includes a gas fireplace, some 

10-foot ceilings, a 9-foot pour in the lookout 

basement, white Shaker cabinets with 

a gray Shaker island, solid-surface tops 

and kitchen backsplash tile.” Also included 

are upgraded stainless steel appliances and 

flooring, 8-foot interior doors and more. 

Priced from the mid-$300’s, MacArthur 

Park is a single cul-de-sac of just 11 

homesites, many backing to trees and conveniently 

located on Central School Road 

just off Mid Rivers Mall Drive. Home sizes 

range from 2,293 to 3,334 square feet.
