I OPINION I 3<br />
Walter E. Williams<br />
Intolerance in<br />
academia<br />
If you need an accurate update on some<br />
of the madness at the nation’s institutions<br />
of higher learning, check out Minding the<br />
Campus, a nonprofit independent organization.<br />
John Leo, its editor-in-chief, says that<br />
the organization’s prime mission is dedicated<br />
to the revival of intellectual pluralism<br />
and the best traditions of liberal education at<br />
America’s colleges and universities. Leo’s<br />
most recent compilation of campus madness<br />
leaves one nearly breathless.<br />
In a USA Today op-ed, Emily Walton, a<br />
sociology professor at Dartmouth University,<br />
said that all college students should<br />
take a mandatory course on black history<br />
and white privilege. She says that by taking<br />
her class, white students “come to understand<br />
that being a good person does not<br />
make them innocent but rather they, too, are<br />
implicated in a system of racial dominance.”<br />
Walton adds, “After spending their young<br />
lives in a condition of ‘white blindness,’ that<br />
is, the inability to see their own racial privilege,<br />
they begin to awaken to the notion<br />
that racism has systematically kept others<br />
down while benefiting them and other white<br />
people.” This is inculcating guilt based on<br />
skin color. These young white kids had<br />
nothing to do with slavery, Jim Crow or<br />
other horrible racial discriminatory acts. If<br />
one believes in individual responsibility, he<br />
should find the indoctrination by Walton<br />
offensive. To top it off, she equates the meritocratic<br />
system of hard work with white<br />
discrimination against minorities.<br />
If you thought integration was in, check<br />
out the University of Nevada. Based on a<br />
report in the College Fix, John Leo describes<br />
how integration on that campus is actively<br />
discouraged – and at taxpayer expense. The<br />
university provides separate dorms for different<br />
identities including Howell Town<br />
for black students, Stonewall Suites for<br />
LGBTQ students, the women-only housing<br />
of Tonopah community, the Healthy<br />
Living Floor for tofu and kale lovers, and<br />
study-intensive floors for those who want to<br />
graduate.<br />
According to a New York Post report,<br />
New York City school administrators have<br />
been taught that pillars of <strong>West</strong>ern Civilization<br />
such as objectivity, individualism and<br />
belief in the written word all are examples<br />
of white supremacy. All school principals,<br />
district office administrators and superintendent<br />
teams were required to attend the<br />
anti-white supremacy training put on by<br />
the city department of education’s office of<br />
equity and access. They learn that a belief<br />
in an “ultimate truth” [objectivity] leads to<br />
a dismissal of “alternate viewpoints or emotions”<br />
as “bad” and that an emphasis on the<br />
written word overlooks the “ability to relate<br />
to others” and leads to “teaching that there<br />
is only ‘one right way’ to do something.”<br />
Administrators learn that other “hallmarks”<br />
of white supremacy include a “sense of<br />
urgency,” “quantity over quality” and “perfectionism.”<br />
Richard Carranza, New York<br />
City school superintendent, says the workshops<br />
are just about “what are our biases<br />
and how we work with them.”<br />
Michael Bloomberg, former New York<br />
City mayor, says that political rage and<br />
increasingly polarized discourse are endangering<br />
our nation. Americans used to move<br />
forward productively after elections regardless<br />
of which side won. Now, we seem paralyzed<br />
by absolute schism and intolerance.<br />
Bloomberg pointed to colleges as a prime<br />
example of a rising level of intolerance for<br />
different ideas and free speech. Steven Gerrard,<br />
a professor at Williams College in Massachusetts,<br />
serves as an example of campus<br />
intolerance. Students declared Gerrard “an<br />
enemy of the people” after he suggested<br />
that Williams College join other schools<br />
in signing onto what’s called the Chicago<br />
Principles. The statement, published by<br />
the Committee of Freedom of Expression<br />
at the University of Chicago, calls for free<br />
speech to be central to college and university<br />
culture. Williams college students said<br />
free speech is a part of a right-wing agenda<br />
as a “cover for racism, xenophobia, sexism,<br />
anti-Semitism, homophobia, transphobia,<br />
ableism and classism.” Bloomberg pointed<br />
out that fewer than 70 of America’s 4,000<br />
colleges and universities have endorsed or<br />
adopted the Chicago statement.<br />
State governors and legislators can learn<br />
something from their Alaskan counterparts,<br />
who slashed public spending on the University<br />
of Alaska by 41%. There’s nothing<br />
better than the sounds of pocketbooks snapping<br />
shut to bring a bit of sanity to college<br />
administrators.<br />

WEST NEWSMAGAZINE<br />
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR<br />
Responding to ‘False<br />
environmental predictions’<br />
Why on God’s formerly green Earth<br />
would you give an economist a forum for<br />
spreading disinformation about scientific<br />
matters? In your last issue [Oct. 16], Walter<br />
E. Williams of George Mason University,<br />
says the world’s scientists are wrong about<br />
our climate emergency. His evidence comes<br />
from a piece by the Competitive Enterprise<br />
Institute, a group devoted to promoting<br />
right-wing politics that abolish antitrust<br />
statutes and give free rein to the biggest<br />
businesses. Giving Williams a whole page<br />
to spread their ultraconservative propaganda<br />
amounts to journalistic malpractice.<br />
Poking fun at climate science, Professor<br />
Williams wants us to believe that because<br />
some early alarms were wildly off the<br />
mark or because later alarms got the timetable<br />
wrong, the entire premise of climate<br />
change is flawed. So ha ha – an ecologist<br />
feared in <strong>19</strong>70 that Earth was getting<br />
colder, not warmer. At least he was right to<br />
monitor climate changes. So Al Gore predicted<br />
the ice caps would melt faster than<br />
they are. The poles may still have ice, but it<br />
is melting and seas are rising even as Williams<br />
guffaws.<br />
Can we talk about what real scientists<br />
say? A Feb. 2018, article in the journal Climate<br />
Modeling [“The Scientific Consensus<br />
on Climate Change: How Do We Know<br />
We’re Not Wrong?”] looked at the chances<br />
that your climate emergency denier is<br />
right. Spoiler alert: After a quarter century<br />
of studying climate, scientists are sure that<br />
Earth is warming dangerously. The data<br />
are accurate and scientists are correct to<br />
raise the alarm. Interestingly, the authors<br />
note that “[M]ost of the challenges to this<br />
claim come from interested parties outside<br />
the scientific community.” That’s Walter E.<br />
Williams and the CEI, whose interests are<br />
purely monetary.<br />
Even the huge corporations that Williams’<br />
reactionary think tank hopes to protect<br />
understand that ostrich-like inaction<br />
would spell disaster.<br />
Sheri Steininger<br />
• • •<br />
In response to Mr. Walter E. Williams’<br />
thoughts on environmental predictions, at<br />
least one has come true. The Arctic Ocean<br />
is ice free for the first time. So much so,<br />
that cruise lines are offering Arctic cruises.<br />
What Mr. Williams fails to consider is<br />
that our nation, as well as others, have<br />
taken steps to reduce the possibility of<br />
these environmental disasters.<br />
With the advent of new technology, we<br />
have reduced our carbon footprint on our<br />
fragile planet, but this will only delay what<br />
others have predicted. Our current administration’s<br />
environmental policies are a<br />
reversal of decades of forward steps that<br />
we had taken.<br />
To continue down this path of carbonbased<br />
energy will eventually lead to the<br />
reality of past predictions. Certainly, the<br />
cost to convert to alternative energy is<br />
expensive, but in the long run, we will<br />
benefit from an increase in jobs related to<br />
this new technology, as well as restoring<br />
the health of our planet.<br />
Earl Barge<br />
• • •<br />
I was really surprised to read Mr. Walter<br />
E. Williams’ column in the Oct. 16 issue<br />
of <strong>West</strong> <strong>Newsmagazine</strong>. I have considered<br />
him generally to be well-reasoned but I<br />
think this time he missed the mark entirely.<br />
While it is true that some predictions in<br />
the past have not come to pass, I find it<br />
hard to believe that the current evidence of<br />
climate change, i.e, melting glaciers, rising<br />
ocean levels, et cetera would not indicate<br />
that something is happening and it ain’t<br />
good!<br />
Even if you wish to discount these<br />
strong indices, why not continue to push<br />
for better use of resources than what we’re<br />
doing. What is wrong with cutting back<br />
on coal burning and other non-renewable<br />
energy sources. Continue to push for<br />
higher and higher mileage requirements<br />
on automobiles. Push for mass transportation<br />
ideas to reduce numbers of cars<br />
and their inherent inefficiencies. Push<br />
for renewable energy – wind/solar/water<br />
power. Continue efforts toward cleaner<br />
water and cleaner air.<br />
Yes, it does involve higher costs in the<br />
short end – and perhaps forever – but the<br />
gains are human gains. What price do you<br />
want to really put on them?<br />
To not keep moving forward [KOKO<br />
– Keep on keeping on] is to regress [SQ –<br />
Status Quo].<br />
Glenn Martin<br />
An entrepreneurial mindset<br />
is critical for our future<br />
Entrepreneurship is an essential element<br />
of American free enterprise, and I was very<br />
pleased to read the great news story about<br />
this in a recent edition of this paper. Our<br />
community really is rallying around our<br />
youth in many ways.<br />
We believe an entrepreneurial mindset is<br />
imperative for our students at Lindenwood<br />
University. Our mission statement reflects<br />
this: Real Experience-Real Success. The<br />
Duree Center for Entrepreneurship, in<br />
the Hammond Institute at Lindenwood,<br />
encourages everyone to discover how an<br />
entrepreneurial mindset enables anyone to<br />
succeed.<br />
In my opinion, entrepreneurship is<br />
woven into the very fabric of our lives<br />
as Americans. It is the pioneering-spirit<br />
which has been the main ingredient for<br />
America’s success.<br />
Business schools across the world,<br />
including The Plaster School of Business<br />
& Entrepreneurship at Lindenwood, are<br />
offering degrees and experiences in entrepreneurship.<br />
Why?<br />
Our youth are demanding we provide<br />
them the necessary skills for the incredible<br />
pivots they will need to make during their<br />
working lives. Career pivots older generations<br />
rarely had to consider.<br />
Our children, are saying, “Teach me,<br />
experientially, how to succeed in this fastchanging<br />
world.”<br />
There are many promising programs<br />
and efforts happening at high schools and<br />
colleges. I also see policy-makers, lawmakers,<br />
economic developers, the Missouri<br />
Chamber of Commerce and Industry,<br />
and local chambers, working with foundations<br />
and researchers to make a difference<br />
in this area.<br />
The Duree Center for Entrepreneurship<br />
invites you to join in the effort. You can<br />
contact me at cfelzien1@lindenwood.edu.<br />
Let’s discuss how your time, talent, and<br />
treasure can make more things possible for<br />
our youth.<br />
Also, please plan to attend events celebrating<br />
Global Entrepreneurship Week in<br />
November, with details on our website and<br />
ads in this publication. We are bringing in<br />
some real “thought-leaders” on the subject<br />
of entrepreneurship.<br />
I believe we have a collective “Call to<br />
Action” to meet the current needs of our<br />
youth.<br />
Our future depends on it.<br />

20<strong>19</strong> Cardinals: Looking back,<br />
looking ahead<br />
IN QUOTES<br />
“Get over it. There’s going<br />
to be political influence<br />
in foreign policy.”<br />
– White House acting chief<br />
of staff Mick Mulvaney<br />
FOLLOW US ON<br />
What an amazing sport baseball is.<br />
In the fourth game of the American League<br />
Division Series, Houston Astros ace Justin<br />
Verlander was beaten by the Tampa Bay<br />
Rays. Verlander has an annual salary of $33<br />
million. The entire Rays roster combines<br />
to make just $54 million. Strategy trumped<br />
salary in this game, but the Astros won game<br />
five and the series.<br />
Then, there is the disappointing end to our<br />
St. Louis Cardinals’ season.<br />
The Washington Nationals were tied for<br />
the worst record in baseball through the first<br />
50 games of 20<strong>19</strong>. Then, they righted the<br />
ship, and by the time they faced our Redbirds<br />
in the National League Championship Series<br />
they were full steam ahead.<br />
In the sink or swim series, the Cardinals<br />
sunk like stones.<br />
The statistic that stands out for most people<br />
is that the Cardinals struck out three times for<br />
every base hit. That is pretty bad. Leaguewide<br />
during the regular season, that ratio was<br />
closer to one-to-one. So, pretty bad might<br />
be an understatement. The hometown team<br />
also seemingly forgot how to play defense,<br />
and nothing else mattered very much. If you<br />
cannot hit the ball or field the ball, winning<br />
games will be exactly as elusive as it was for<br />
this team in this series.<br />
What’s done is done, however. Had you<br />
asked Cardinals fans in April if they would<br />
be happy with any kind of baseball being<br />
played in mid-October, they would have said,<br />
“Absolutely!” The ending might have been<br />
disappointing, but there were some pretty<br />
great moments along the way:<br />
Yadier Molina as the hero of game four<br />
against the Braves. A bloop hit to tie the<br />
game in the eighth and a sacrifice fly to win it<br />
in the tenth, capped with one of the great bat<br />
flips of all time.<br />
Adam Wainright refusing to turn over the<br />
title of ace to Jack Flaherty just quite yet,<br />
pitching absolute gems in game 3 of the division<br />
series and game 2 of the championship<br />
series.<br />
Ten runs in the first inning of the fifth game<br />
of the NLDS, taking away all intrigue as to<br />
whether the Cardinals would advance before<br />
most fans were even home from work.<br />
We got to see Kolton Wong finally put<br />
together a complete season and live up to his<br />
potential. We got to witness the beginning of<br />
Tommy Edman’s very promising career. Jack<br />
Flaherty became a star in 20<strong>19</strong>.<br />
There were plenty of bright spots, and we<br />
should be grateful for the season.<br />
There is also a lot of work to be done in<br />
the offseason. What to do with Marcell<br />
Ozuna? Matt Carpenter? Carlos Martinez?<br />
Will Waino be back? What do we do with an<br />
outfield that was over-crowded at the beginning<br />
of the year and pieced together by the<br />
end of it?<br />
Every season begins with expectations,<br />
most end with disappointment. Every offseason<br />
brings new questions, issues and possibilities.<br />
Every year, young boys and girls pick up<br />
a bat – some for the first time – and instantly<br />
start to dream of one day being the hero.<br />
Maybe their parents told them the story of<br />
David Freese in 2011. They dream of a gametying<br />
triple, eighth inning of World Series<br />
game 6. They dream of crushing a homer<br />
two innings later, Joe Buck proclaiming, “We<br />
will see you tomorrow night.” They dream of<br />
doing all that for their hometown team.<br />
David Freese announced his retirement<br />
from Major League Baseball after his Dodgers<br />
had a similarly disappointing end to their<br />
season. We wish the hometown hero best in<br />
whatever comes next in his life.<br />
Most seasons end in disappointment, but<br />
we always believe that next year will bring<br />
another hero, another David Freese blast or<br />
Yadier Molina bat flip. That is the beauty of<br />
our national pastime. What an amazing sport<br />
baseball is.<br />

November 2018 election.<br />
The biggest area of potential modification<br />
was the presence of increased medical<br />
signage.<br />
“We see this as a medicine that helps a lot<br />
of people,” Roemerman said. “We just don’t<br />
want it getting into the wrong hands, and we<br />
want to make sure people are deciding to get<br />
prescriptions for this in Ellisville are aware<br />
of all the nuances.”<br />

CHESTERFIELD<br />
Menards hit-and-run victim<br />
transported to Craig Hospital<br />
After being struck by a shoplifting suspect<br />
at the <strong>West</strong> County Menards on the evening<br />
of Sept. 25, 49-year-old Michelle Arthur<br />
was transferred from St. Louis to Denver on<br />
Tuesday, Oct. 15 for further medical treatment<br />
at Craig Hospital. Craig specializes in<br />
neuro-rehabilitation and spinal cord injuries.<br />
The hospital was also where Ballwin police<br />
officer Michael Flamion was treated after he<br />
was shot and paralyzed. Craig Hospital has<br />
also treated Hazelwood police officer Craig<br />
Tudor, Arnold police officer Ryan O’Connor<br />
and St. Louis police officer Gary Glasby.<br />
On the morning of Oct. 15, Arthur was<br />
taken in an EMS unit to Spirit Airport in<br />
Chesterfield to board a specialized plane<br />
with removable seats that allow stretchers<br />
to be locked into place. The two-hour<br />
flight was also staffed by medical personnel.<br />
Arthur’s husband Joe, who is a firefighter<br />
with the Metro <strong>West</strong> Fire Protection District,<br />
boarded the flight with her.<br />
ELLISVILLE<br />
Medical marijuana dispensary<br />
approved off Clarkson Road<br />
During a meeting Oct. 16, Ellisville<br />
Mayor Mike Roemerman and the city council<br />
approved a site development plan and<br />
conditional use permit [CUP] that would<br />
allow for a new medical marijuana dispensary<br />
to be known as The Forest at 184<br />
Clarkson Road.<br />
The council also unanimously approved<br />
a rezoning for the proposed dispensary’s<br />
location from residential to “C5” [Planned<br />
Commercial]. The location is between the<br />
Clarkson Place business complex, which<br />
includes multiple offices, and Clarkson<br />
Eyecare.<br />
“Making that a commercial zone made<br />
sense already,” Ellisville Mayor Mike Roemerman<br />
said. “There was no way that was<br />
going to stay a residence.”<br />
Allan Hug with Standard Wellness Company,<br />
LLC, an Ohio-based medical cannabis<br />
brand, spoke to the council about the<br />
development of the dispensary. The proposed<br />
facility would retain the aesthetic of a<br />
residential building on the outside but would<br />
feature a brand-new interior. Upon entering,<br />
visitors would be required to present medical<br />
marijuana cards in the lobby area to gain<br />
access to the sales area. Products would be<br />
stored behind counters at all times and video<br />
surveillance would monitor the entire facility.<br />
“At any one time, there would be a minimum<br />
of five employees [on-site] and at least<br />
one of them would be a security guard,”<br />
Roemerman said.<br />
The timeline for the development will<br />
depend on when a state license for the facility<br />
is issued. The state is expected to approve<br />
licenses for dispensaries by January 2020.<br />
Standard Wellness stated that, after receiving<br />
a license, construction of the facility’s<br />
interior would take up to three months.<br />
The estimated annual revenue from the<br />
dispensary was projected to be about $2.5<br />
million annually but would ultimately<br />
depend on the amount of medical marijuana<br />
ID cards issued by the state.<br />
According to Roemerman, the city may<br />
also approve further ordinances in the future<br />
pertaining the requirements for the dispensary<br />
and any other facilities with similar<br />
uses as long as they don’t intervene with<br />
the state constitution or the original Amendment<br />
2 language passed by voters in the<br />
Vacant Lucky’s Market<br />
gets new tenant<br />
On Oct. 16, Ellisville’s mayor and city<br />
council unanimously approved a conditional<br />
use permit [CUP] that permitted<br />
the Missouri Baptist Medical Center/BJC<br />
Medical Group to operate an outpatient<br />
center at 15830 Fountain Plaza Drive. The<br />
45,000-square-foot site was the previous<br />
home of a Lucky’s Market grocery store that<br />
closed its doors Aug. 26.<br />
The facility would have space for physicians<br />
and specialists. The location will also<br />
offer services like mammography, bone<br />
density tests, ultrasounds and more.<br />
The outpatient center would be the site’s<br />
first instance of medical use. Before housing<br />
Lucky’s Market, the site previously served<br />
as a Straub’s grocery store, which closed in<br />
2009.<br />
The outpatient center is also the first use<br />
the site will see following the Fountain Plaza’s<br />
acquisition by The DESCO Group, a St.<br />
Louis-based real estate agency.<br />
“They recently acquired that [property]<br />
and they’ve been doing a bunch of landscaping<br />
to open up that whole shopping<br />
center to make it more attractive,” Ellisville<br />
Mayor Mike Roemerman said.<br />
According to Roemerman, the outpatient<br />
center will also include 50 parking spots<br />
and provide up to 50 local jobs.<br />
“That’s huge,” Roemerman said. “That’s<br />
a lot of people coming into our area that we<br />
really like to see because those folks and the<br />
ones that are coming here for the services<br />
will shop in the stores and eat in the restaurants<br />
and such. We love the activity.”<br />
After The DESCO Group became the<br />
property’s new landlord, two new tenants<br />

TOWN & COUNTRY<br />
Welcoming entrance planned<br />
at Mason Road/I-64<br />
The Mason Road/I-64 Intersection Beautification<br />
Project was introduced by aldermen<br />
Sue Allen. [Ward 4], Lindsey Butler<br />
[Ward 2], Tiffany Frautschi [Ward 2],<br />
Pam Holman [Ward 1] and Ryan Morland<br />
[Ward 3] for a second reading during the<br />
Town & Country Board of Alderman meeting<br />
Oct. 14.<br />
This intersection is known as an entrance<br />
into Town & Country and in its current<br />
state, council members have said, does not<br />
offer a welcoming display.<br />
During the discussion, alderman Jon<br />
Benigas [Ward 4] expressed his favor of<br />
the project overall but said he was hesitant<br />
to approve it due to the lack of background<br />
information. He said he was impressed by<br />
the donations and hard work of the task<br />
force but remained against the ordinance.<br />
Allen, as part of the task force, explained<br />
how they were shown pictures of various<br />
products, gained input and conducted interviews.<br />
She further explained that the task<br />
force has worked to get the “biggest bang<br />
for the bucks” the city currently has for the<br />
project and that “it will be an improvement<br />
from here.”<br />
The ordinance sought the approval of an<br />
agreement to hire contractor Landesigns<br />
LLC in the amount of $127,603.01. Also<br />
included in the ordinance was adjusting<br />
the 20<strong>19</strong> budget by increasing the Road<br />
Fund expenditure account and covering the<br />
increase in those funds.<br />
The legislation was passed by a vote of<br />
5 to 1, with Benigas casting the lone “no”<br />
vote.<br />
WILDWOOD<br />
Wildwood City Hall to<br />
add video monitoring<br />
Soon public meetings won’t be the only<br />
time visitors to Wildwood City Hall will be<br />
on camera.<br />
On Monday, Oct. 14, the City Council<br />
approved a measure to spend up to $75,000<br />
on a new surveillance system. Although the<br />
funding will come from county tax money<br />
designated for public safety, there was still<br />
some debate among council members.<br />
“I think it's important to understand that<br />
we’re not guaranteeing safety,” council<br />
member Cheryl Jordan [Ward 6] said<br />
regarding the proposed installation of the<br />
cameras.<br />
Fellow council member Crystal McCune<br />
[Ward 7] took the point a step further arguing<br />
the cameras would not prevent crime<br />
but could be critical to any potential law<br />
enforcement investigation after the fact.<br />
Director of Parks and Planning Joe<br />
Vujnich, who helped prepare the recommendation<br />
that was presented to the<br />
council, took exception to McCune’s conclusions.<br />
“With all due respect to Ms. McCune,"<br />
he said. "I do think it is a deterrent.” He<br />
went on to explain how he believed the<br />
cameras could deter mischievous crimes<br />
like vandalism.<br />
Council member Don Bartoni [Ward 2]<br />
concurred with Vujnich.<br />
“I agree with you, Joe,” Bartoni said. “I<br />
think it can be a deterrent for crimes of<br />
opportunity.”<br />
Other members of the council voiced<br />
concerns over potential infringements of<br />
personal privacy.<br />
Council member Tim Woerther [Ward 7]<br />
asked City Attorney John Young if video<br />
recordings taken from the new cameras<br />
could be viewed by any citizen. Young<br />
answered that it was his opinion that any<br />
potential recordings would be public<br />
record by definition allowing for only a few<br />
exceptions.<br />
Woerther called that “problematic”<br />
noting that visitors to City Hall could be<br />
recorded without their knowledge or consent.<br />
Vujnich disagreed with this conclusion.<br />
“The expectation of privacy here [at City<br />
Hall], you shouldn’t have it,” Vujnich said.<br />
“It’s a public building.”<br />
Despite the spirited discussion, the measure<br />
passed unanimously<br />
Council member Joe Garritano [Ward<br />
8] expressed his disbelief that the proposal<br />
received any objections from his fellow<br />
council members.<br />
“It provides assurance that, if something<br />
is going to happen [at City Hall], we can<br />
follow up on it,” Garritano said after the<br />
meeting. “The employees here deserve that<br />
kind of protection.”<br />
In addition to the initial costs of purchasing<br />
the cameras, associated equipment and<br />
installation, the city will pay $5,790 a year<br />
for ongoing maintenance.<br />

October <strong>23</strong>, 20<strong>19</strong><br />
WEST NEWSMAGAZINE<br />
Two candidates with widely different<br />
views on the most pressing topics facing St.<br />
Louis today are vying to become the next<br />
state representative for District 99. District<br />
99 includes the municipalities of Valley<br />
Park, Manchester and Twin Oaks.<br />
Lee Ann Pitman was selected by the<br />
GOP as the Republican candidate. Trish<br />
Gunby was selected by her party as the<br />
Democratic candidate. Both women are<br />
seeking their first elected office after many<br />
years of community involvement.<br />
The seat in the Missouri General Assembly<br />
was made available by the departure of<br />
Jean Evans [R-Manchester], who resigned<br />
to become the Executive Director of the<br />
Missouri GOP. Gov. Parson has called for<br />
a special election Nov. 5 to fill the seat.<br />
<strong>West</strong> <strong>Newsmagazine</strong> recently asked<br />
both candidates questions on a handful<br />
of prominent issues.<br />
<strong>West</strong>: Why are you qualified to<br />
represent District 99?<br />
Gunby: I’ve always been interested in<br />
politics. I majored in political science in<br />
college. We moved back here after we got<br />
married. We’ve raised our two kids here<br />
for the past 25 years in the district. Professionally,<br />
I was working in marketing at<br />
Citicorp Mortgage and Purina.<br />
I’ve been active in neighborhood watch<br />
groups, also active in Parkway Schools on<br />
the local and district level … even did a<br />
kids' voting program where they vote like<br />
their parents do on Election Day. I’m also<br />
very active in my church … served on the<br />
leadership board there and was made social<br />
justice coordinator.<br />
I’ve also been in the St. Louis Area Voter<br />
Coalition where we try to get folks to vote<br />
… voting is a real passion of mine.<br />
Pitman: I’ve been a lifelong resident<br />
of Missouri and I’ve lived in this area<br />
for 25 years. I’ve worked full time while<br />
we’ve been raising our family. I’m a senior<br />
accountant and my career has been in<br />
insurance and banking.<br />
<strong>West</strong>: If you are elected, what will be<br />
your top legislative priorities?<br />
Gunby: One of the things I hear the<br />
most when I talk to people … is just to<br />
create a spirit of civility and a willingness<br />
to sit down and talk about all these issues. I<br />
was amazed to find out that the Democrats<br />
walk through one door to enter the floor [at<br />
the statehouse] and the Republicans walk<br />
through another door … So, the fact that<br />
people don’t even go in the same door is<br />
concerning to me. Some of the stuff that<br />
seems so common sense that we wouldn’t<br />
allow to happen in our businesses, or our<br />
schools happens at our Capitol.<br />
Just finding a way that you could<br />
come to the table and be at the table<br />
[since] I realize I would be in the<br />
minority [party.] I believe you have<br />
to start somewhere. You just can’t<br />
decide I’m not going to try.<br />
To me, voting is the great equalizer.<br />
So, I would also be working to make it as<br />
easy as possible for people to vote. There<br />
were some attempts made last year to undo<br />
some of that and take away the nonpartisan<br />
map drawer… it concerns me<br />
when representatives want to undo<br />
the vote of the people, when it<br />
passed with the majority in<br />
every senate district.<br />
Pitman: I stand for quality education<br />
in our school systems. Recently, the MAP<br />
math and English test scores show our students<br />
are low performing according to state<br />
reports. We need to look to improve and<br />
ensure our kids receive the best resources<br />
and opportunities available to them as they<br />
are our future.<br />
My second point is protecting our<br />
seniors. We must maintain their healthcare<br />
and looking at ways to improve it. It is<br />
also apparent that we need to help those<br />
on fixed incomes from being over taxed on<br />
their real estate. A commission was formed<br />
earlier this summer to investigate why and<br />
how there were excessive increases in real<br />
estate property assessments not just in St.<br />
Louis but around our state. This leads to<br />
higher taxes and is difficult for those on<br />
a fixed income especially our seniors to<br />
financially keep up. I await their findings<br />
and recommendations and hope we can<br />
find a way to provide some tax relief.<br />
Lastly, I believe in<br />
cutting regulations and<br />
taxes and to make sure<br />
there are less burdens for<br />
business owners or those<br />
who may want to open<br />
a business. Our startup<br />
and small business<br />
owners make up our states<br />
greatest growth in jobs. We<br />
have great job training programs<br />
in the Missouri<br />
One Start and Missouri<br />
Works Program that<br />
encourages businesses<br />
to grow and<br />
expand.<br />
<strong>West</strong>: What role should state government<br />
play in the local economy?<br />
Gunby: I am a proponent of the Missouri<br />
Non-Discrimination Act that people have<br />
been trying to pass for 21 years. It would<br />
protect LBGQT people from being fired<br />
from their jobs for being who they are … the<br />
fact that you can be fired for [your sexual<br />
identity] or not live somewhere because of<br />
that is beyond me.<br />
I think it’s tied to economic development<br />
because why would a corporation want<br />
to relocate to a place when [the corporate<br />
policy] says everybody has to be treated<br />
equally [and] the state doesn’t say the same<br />
thing. It’s hurting our ability to recruit young<br />
people and retain the ones we have when we<br />
have a state that is not forward thinking and<br />
is repressive.<br />
Pitman: There is definitely a need for us<br />
to work on growing people through entrepreneurship,<br />
apprenticeships and skilled<br />
trades. We are lacking in people going into<br />
@WESTNEWSMAG<br />

Trish Gunby<br />
those fields. There are some companies<br />
that have programs that can help us out.<br />
Some of them have even started focusing<br />
on the high school students … different<br />
companies are looking at high school students<br />
who have skills and may not want to<br />
go to college, or go to college right away …<br />
I definitely see that growth in our area.<br />
I also think we always need to be looking<br />
at ways to reduce taxes.<br />
<strong>West</strong>: What is your position on the state’s<br />
current gun control laws? Should the state<br />
do anything differently?<br />
Gunby: When you walk around the Capitol,<br />
there are signs outside of some legislators’<br />
doors that say ‘guns are encouraged<br />
here.’ That concerns me. I’m not against<br />
guns. However, I don’t think we need to<br />
have inflammatory signs up that promote<br />
gun ownership like that. I’m in favor of the<br />
Second Amendment but I’m against gun<br />
violence … I support universal background<br />
checks.<br />
Pitman: Our governor has a law<br />
enforcement background. I think<br />
what he has done with the city of St. Louis<br />
where he did send in the highway patrol and<br />
provide assistance in the troubled areas is a<br />
very positive move. It’s going to take some<br />
time to see the impact that they can have<br />
there. I know there’s a lot of people in this<br />
district who are gun owners, and I’m going<br />
to protect their Second Amendment rights …<br />
I would like to see us somehow look to see<br />
what we could do with the warning signs<br />
[so-called “red flags”] and see what kind of<br />
plan we could put into action to help identify<br />
those potential warning signs.<br />
<strong>West</strong>: Another important issue to Missouri<br />
voters is on the topic of abortion.<br />
What’s your position on the state’s current<br />
laws on abortion?<br />
Gunby: I am pro-choice candidate. I<br />
believe it is a woman’s right to choose –<br />
between herself, her family and her physician<br />
– what happens to her body in terms<br />
of reproductive life. So, there are things<br />
that happen that I am not privy to, that I<br />
should not be privy to, and I should not<br />
have to regulate for a person … I believe<br />
the no exception ban for rape and incest<br />
[under current Missouri Law] is some of<br />
the most extreme legislation I could ever<br />
imagine.<br />
Pitman: I have been endorsed by Right<br />
to Life … I struggled with the rape and<br />
incest portion of the law that was passed.<br />
But I understand that, if at any time the<br />
woman’s life is in jeopardy, an abortion<br />
[can be performed]. And I think that’s a<br />
part of the law that has not been conveyed<br />
very clearly. We hear about the eight<br />
weeks [ban] but not the whole law.

It took the city of Ballwin just a few minutes<br />
to turn the first two bills on its Oct. 14<br />
Board of Aldermen agenda into ordinances<br />
– one dealing with fines related to illegally<br />
parking in a fire zone and the second<br />
related to erecting of city limits signs. But<br />
that certainly wasn’t the case regarding its<br />
final two bills, which centered around recreational<br />
fees.<br />
The discussion regarding Bill No. 4045<br />
was far more heated. That bill dealt with<br />
raising the daily recreation rate for youth<br />
[ages 3-18] and seniors [age 62-plus], military,<br />
police and fire district personnel. The<br />
rate would increase $1 to match the existing<br />
adult rate of $6.<br />
Those daily rate increases for residents<br />
and non-residents, plus ones for a variety<br />
of season passes stem from the recent passage<br />
of Proposition B, which will increase<br />
the minimum wage 85 cents per hour per<br />
year from 2020 through 20<strong>23</strong>. Proposition<br />
B primarily affects the Parks and Recreation<br />
Department, which employs the most<br />
part-time employees.<br />
“It helps get us where we need to be,”<br />
Director of Parks and Recreation Chris<br />
Conway said.<br />
Alderman Kevin Roach [Ward 2] was by<br />
far the most outspoken regarding the new<br />
daily rates.<br />
“I guess I’m confused now,” Roach said.<br />
“I don’t know why we have these fee classifications.<br />
That’s what it was two weeks<br />
ago? We just said everybody pays the same<br />
daily rate no matter what? So, I guess<br />
everyone [age] 3 to <strong>10</strong>0 pays the same $6.<br />
“I just don’t know why we have to be so<br />
specific [on the chart]. At the end of the<br />
day, it’s still $6 for everyone. Something<br />
doesn’t seem right. We’re trying to give a<br />
break to the seniors, military and firefighters.<br />
You pay the $6 whether you bring your<br />
military ID or not.”<br />
The bill was tabled for further private<br />
discussions, as was Bill No. 4046, which<br />
featured $1 increases across the board<br />
for both weekday and weekend play at<br />
the Ballwin Golf Course. The major area<br />
of contention for that was the absence<br />
of any charts showing rates beyond the<br />

daily fees for resident, resident senior/<br />
junior, non-resident and non-resident<br />
senior/junior.<br />
It was speculated that perhaps those golf<br />
fees could be more detailed, with seniors,<br />
military, police and firefighters getting a<br />
break on golf packages.<br />
City Administrator Bob Kuntz suggested<br />
that votes on both recreational fee bills<br />
should be held over for now, regardless,<br />
to see if Ballwin can get more residents to<br />
lock into 20<strong>19</strong> prices before new ones take<br />

Town & Country is home to a wide variety<br />
of trees that have grown to be a part<br />
of its history. And it’s that history that’s<br />
caused controversy regarding how to keep<br />
a balance between land development and<br />
tree protection.<br />
The issue was brought to the Board of<br />
Aldermen’s attention when the Morrell<br />
Manor subdivision submitted a request<br />
for a plat amendment Feb. 21, 2018. After<br />
much revision, due to voting delays and<br />
disagreements from residents, the request<br />
was approved July 9, 2018.<br />
Following that approval, a Natural<br />
Resource Perseveration subcommittee was<br />
formed July <strong>23</strong>, 2018. The subcommittee<br />
included aldermanic representatives of the<br />
Planning and Zoning Commission [P&Z],<br />
Conservation Commission, Public Works<br />
Commission, and Architectural Review<br />
Board. Its focus was on permanent open<br />
space and how to better address the preservation<br />
of natural resources, specifically the<br />
trees that establish neighborhood character.<br />

Trolley dream at the end of line with St. Louis County Council<br />
By JEFFREY BRICKER<br />
The people behind the Loop Trolley Company<br />
attended the Oct. 15 meeting of the St.<br />
Louis County Council to make a desperate<br />
plea for help in saving the once-promising<br />
project.<br />
In the end, they not only left emptyhanded<br />
but with the threat of a possible<br />
investigation hanging over their heads.<br />
“I think based on the track record of<br />
the Loop Trolley and the way they’ve<br />
spent money so far, all the drawbacks and<br />
mismanagement of the timeline thus far,<br />
they need more scrutiny and [the council]<br />
doesn’t have the time nor the effort to put<br />
that in there,” council member Mark Harder<br />
[R- District 7] said after the meeting.<br />
Harder announced at the conclusion of<br />
the Oct. 15 meeting that he would be putting<br />
forth legislation at the next session for the<br />
county to request the federal government<br />
conduct an investigation into the project<br />
and its management.<br />
That outcome was likely much worse<br />
than supporters of the Trolley had hoped for<br />
when they pled their case requesting an infusion<br />
of $700,000 in new money less than an<br />
hour earlier. In a letter to both County Executive<br />
Sam Page and St. Louis Mayor Lyda<br />
Krewson, the Loop Trolley Co. requested<br />
an immediate bailout of $700,000. Without<br />
the addition of those funds, the Loop Trolley<br />
Co. will become insolvent.<br />
Whether the project is yet to realize its<br />
full potential or is a “boondoggle” as some<br />
officials have coined it, is at the heart of the<br />
current debate.<br />
“A $52 million asset has not had a chance<br />
to prove its worth,” John Meyer, president<br />
of the Loop Trolley Co. told the council.<br />
“Will the Trolley be known as a great connector<br />
or a failure?”<br />
Even before Meyer and other supporters<br />
of the Trolley had their opportunity to speak<br />
on Tuesday night, Page shared his thoughts<br />
on the project and the latest request for additional<br />
funding.<br />
“The county was one of the financial partners<br />
initially in this ambitious idea,” Page<br />
said. “The county was led to believe the<br />
assistance would go toward a sustainable<br />
enterprise, but it wasn’t.”<br />
Page made it clear he would not be in<br />
favor of any additional funding coming<br />
from the county without the Loop Trolley<br />
Co. also receiving money from “additional<br />
stakeholders.”<br />
Meyer had been cautiously optimistic that<br />
he would find sympathetic ears among the<br />
county’s elected officials. He contends<br />
the Trolley is good for all of St.<br />
Louis County and not just a select few.<br />
“There’s a designated tax for transit<br />
that raises over $81 million a year,”<br />
Meyer said. “The way I understand<br />
it, not all that money is being spent.<br />
We’re asking for a very small sliver<br />
just to give this $52 million asset a<br />
chance to work.”<br />
“The federal government is on the<br />
hook for almost $40 million of this,”<br />
Harder said. “I think they should get<br />
concerned about how their money<br />
was spent and be sure there is nothing<br />
nefarious about this project.”<br />
In a statement released immediately<br />
after the meeting, a spokesperson<br />
for the Loop Trolley Co.<br />
maintained a degree of optimism<br />
and said the organization had nothing<br />
to hide.<br />
“The Loop Trolley Company is<br />
grateful to St. Louis County Executive<br />
Sam Page and members of the county<br />
council for allowing it the opportunity to<br />
present more information about the Loop<br />
Trolley Company and how we can work<br />
together on a path forward,” the spokesperson<br />
said, “The Loop Trolley Company<br />
Loop Trolley Co. President John Meyer waits for his<br />
opportunity to address the St Louis County Council on<br />
Oct. 15, 20<strong>19</strong><br />
[Jeff Bricker photo]<br />
values transparency and accountability. We<br />
will continue our transparency and welcome<br />
new ideas and any additional oversight.”<br />
“Our region needs transit,” Page said.<br />
“But it doesn’t need a $52 million rolling<br />
comedy club.”<br />

Ballwin Board puts new police facility discussion on hold<br />
In its ongoing search for the city's ideal<br />
police facility, the Ballwin Board of Aldermen<br />
has narrowed its original options from<br />
four to two.<br />
On Sept. <strong>23</strong>, St. Louis-based JEMA<br />
architectural consultants John Mueller and<br />
Jon Emert presented the Ballwin Board<br />
of Aldermen four distinct choices for the<br />
development of a future police facility:<br />
• New construction within Vlasis Park at<br />
the current site of the sand volleyball court.<br />
• Renovation and expansion of the former<br />
government building at the entrance to<br />
Vlasis Park.<br />
• New construction on Kehrs Mill Bend<br />
Court in the “backyard” of the Regions<br />
Bank located at 14915 Manchester Road;<br />
this option would require both land acquisition<br />
and street modifications.<br />
• Renovation and expansion of the current<br />
police facility at 300 Park Drive.<br />
From those options, the board selected<br />
two for further development by JEMA. On<br />
Oct. 14, Mueller and Emert returned to<br />
Ballwin City Hall armed with new design<br />
concepts for those.<br />
Eliminated from the list of options were<br />
building on the current sand volleyball court<br />
and renovating the existing police facility.<br />
One of the<br />
two remaining<br />
choices was<br />
further broken<br />
out to include<br />
two additional<br />
options.<br />
Site B:<br />
Developing<br />
the former<br />
government<br />
facility with<br />
modifications to achieve a full 28,500<br />
square feet with 51 secured police parking<br />
spaces and approximately 17 visitor spaces<br />
at a cost of $11.9 million.<br />
“Some of the comments we got from you<br />
all is, in terms of the challenges were low<br />
visibility from Manchester without significant<br />
site work as well as one means of<br />
ingress and egress,” Mueller said.<br />
Site B1: Developing a three-story option<br />
for the former government site, allowing it<br />
to be more at level with Manchester Road at<br />
a cost of $12.9 million.<br />
“It puts a large portion of the police vehicles<br />
... underneath the building,” Mueller<br />
said. “This raises the top approximately 12<br />
feet, putting the top level approximately on<br />
the level of Manchester. So, we get a little<br />
better visibility of the building and we get<br />
interior, structured<br />
parking<br />
for the<br />
project. The<br />
challenge is<br />
we’re adding<br />
costs to the<br />
building by<br />
creating that<br />
lower level of<br />
parking.”<br />
Site B2:<br />
Developing the area just west of the government<br />
site to include a two-story building<br />
with a lower level walkout at a cost of $11.9<br />
million.<br />
“We also looked at another option that we<br />
just shared with [City Administrator] Bob<br />
[Kuntz] … something he suggested we take<br />
a look at,” Mueller said. “It’s the property to<br />
the west of the existing government center.<br />
It’s a similar type of layout with two stories<br />
and a lower level walkout. The grade<br />
on this particular option is a little bit higher<br />
than what the existing government center<br />
was. It gives you two means of ingress and<br />
egress, and it gives you a curved cut onto<br />
Manchester as well as a curved cut down to<br />
Park Drive. You get slightly fewer secured<br />
parking spaces … something that we can<br />
probably work out if you need to get some<br />
Modifying Ballwin’s Government Center is one option under<br />
consideration for development of a new police station.<br />
@WESTNEWSMAG<br />
WESTNEWSMAGAZINE.COM<br />
additional parking spaces.<br />
“This particular [site] shows a two-story<br />
police station of 28,500 square feet; so<br />
approximately 14,250 square feet per floor<br />
... the upper level is still going to be lower<br />
than Manchester, but it brings us up a little<br />
bit more than the existing government<br />
center site.”<br />
Mueller noted that there is an asterisk on<br />
its $11.9 million price tag because the cost<br />
of property acquisition and potential hazardous<br />
material abatement is not included.<br />
“There are tanks in that area, hazardous<br />
material in that area and there’s also demolition<br />
costs for that site. That $11.9 million<br />
does not include those three,” Mueller said.<br />
Site C: Developing the Kehrs Mill Bend<br />
Court area with a three-story option at a cost<br />
of $12.9 million. This option includes the<br />
current Regions Bank site and requires land<br />
acquisition.<br />
“... this is again a three-story [option] and<br />
when I say three story, the lower level is<br />
parking, and the level above that is police.<br />
So that is why this is labeled three-story,”<br />
Muller said, “The pros are sufficient parking,<br />
it does not encroach on any existing<br />
park property and has good visibility and<br />
accessibility to Manchester Road. The challenges<br />
are a portion of this site is not owned<br />

Ballwin decides on near future audit service change<br />
by JEFFRY GREENBERG<br />
As the saying goes, it’s normally not<br />
recommended to switch horses in the<br />
middle of a race. But the city of Ballwin<br />
has chosen to do so in regard to its auditing<br />
services.<br />
At the request of City Administrator<br />
Bob Kuntz, an RFP [request for proposal]<br />
for independent audit services was issued<br />
Sept. 9. It was sent to eight local firms<br />
who either currently audit municipalities<br />
or who have previously performed auditing<br />
services for the city of Ballwin.<br />
The city requested financial quotes for<br />
services for three years and for quotes<br />
for a single audit, which is necessary any<br />
time Ballwin receives $750,000 or more<br />

Ballwin’s last such RFP was in 2013.<br />
That bid was awarded to Hochschild,<br />
Bloom & Co. for a three-year term. The<br />
firm subsequently was given two extensions<br />
through 2020. The recommendation<br />
presented at the Oct. 14 Board of Aldermen<br />
meeting was to extend the Hochschild,<br />
Bloom & Co. term through 2021.<br />
However, everyone was not in agreement<br />
with that request. Alderman Frank<br />
Fleming [Ward 3] pointed out that the<br />
company has done the city’s audit for a<br />
long time and suggested “that’s not the<br />
kind of thing you want to be comfortable<br />
with.”<br />
Finance Officer Denise Keller was<br />
asked to read a list of clients of the other<br />
two choices. Botz, Deal & Company, PC<br />
had just a handful of mostly smaller clients.<br />
However, when Keller was asked to<br />
read the list of Kerber, Eck & Braeckel,<br />
LLP clients, there were more than two<br />
dozen, which included some of the area’s<br />
largest school districts, communities and<br />
other well-known clients.<br />

Botz, Deal & Company, PC requested<br />
$<strong>19</strong>,300 and Kerber, Eck & Braeckel LLP<br />
offered their services for an even $20,000.<br />
“I wouldn’t mind if you take the highest<br />
bid, so you have a fresh set of eyes to look<br />
at it,” Fleming said. “I see value in that,<br />
or do you all want to ride with the same<br />
folks for a couple more years?”<br />
He made a motion to switch to Kerber,<br />

P&Z voted to recommend those amendments,<br />
which are meant to improve the<br />
regulation of the city’s natural resources<br />
and landscaping, to the board of aldermen.<br />
A public hearing and first reading of an<br />
ordinance to accept the amendments were<br />
held at the board’s Sept. <strong>23</strong> meeting.<br />
The ordinance [Bill <strong>19</strong>59] addressed not<br />
only tree protection, but overall natural<br />
resources protection and landscaping. The<br />
bill was introduced by the entire board Oct.<br />
14 for further discussion and a second reading.<br />
Definitions were altered and the section<br />
on permits required for removal of trees was<br />
deleted. The Natural Resource Protection<br />
Standards section was improved to establish<br />
a preservation of open space with details on<br />
how developers shall undertake precautions<br />
regarding permanent open space in zoning<br />
districts and in new subdivisions.<br />
The legislation states that trees in Town<br />
& Country are considered an important<br />
community asset. The desire to protect the<br />
character of the town is addressed in the<br />
section of the ordinance on Residential<br />
Tree Protection and Removal Standards.<br />
During the discussion of the ordinance, an<br />
amendment was suggested by Alderman<br />
Tiffany Frautschi [Ward 2] in regard to the<br />
section on tree protection. The amendment<br />
was to add wording to includes impervious<br />
areas along with any project for a new<br />
home, as already stated.<br />
There was little discussion on the adoption<br />
of the amendment. Alderman Matt<br />
Reuter [Ward 3] mentioned how great the<br />
team did and offered “kudos” to everyone<br />
involved in the creation of this legislature.<br />
Following the discussion, the voting was<br />
carried out and the bill passed unanimously.<br />

Science takes flight<br />
October <strong>23</strong>, 20<strong>19</strong><br />
WEST NEWSMAGAZINE<br />
The annual high altitude weather balloon<br />
launch demonstrated science in action at<br />
Parkway Southwest Middle on Oct. 3.<br />
The launch ties in with the eighth grade<br />
study of atmospheric science in the movement<br />
of air. However, all grade levels participated<br />
in designing experiments to test<br />
the effects of high altitude, low air pressure<br />
and low temperature. Some students helped<br />
to set up and launch the balloon while other<br />
students were part of its recovery team.<br />
Based on the rate of fall and upper level<br />
wind patterns, it was projected to land near<br />
Pocahontas, Illinois. And, after hitting its<br />
highest altitude of 94,550 feet over Troy,<br />
Illinois, the balloon landed just outside<br />
Pocahontas.<br />
Along with the balloon, students sent a<br />
wide variety of objects up from jello and<br />
slime, to marshmallows and gummy bears,<br />
explained science teacher Peter Larson.<br />
“The more interesting results is that the<br />
marshmallows got very compressed and a<br />
glow stick that was sent up uncracked was<br />
glowing and cracked when recovered.”<br />
Liquids sent up in a baggie expanded and<br />
were frozen when they were first found,<br />
and liquids or substances in containers<br />
were squeezed out.<br />
Larson said the balloon itself grew from<br />
just over 5 feet in diameter, to over 20 feet<br />
in diameter before it burst. The biggest<br />
atmospheric changes that occurred in flight<br />
were the pressure drops from 14.5 psi to<br />
.08 psi and the temperature change from 86<br />
degrees to -53 degrees.<br />
Students become art aficionados<br />
<strong>West</strong>minster Christian Academy and<br />
CBC High were two of 13 schools chosen<br />
to participate in the Centene Charitable<br />
Foundation’s Art Aficionados program.<br />
Among those invited to participate in<br />
the St. Louis Art Festival was <strong>West</strong>minster<br />
senior Isabel Warner and juniors Moorea<br />
Atkins and Carter Hickel.<br />
The program focuses on engaging students<br />
in the world of art curation and gives<br />
them the opportunity to purchase two<br />
pieces of art – one for Centene’s permanent<br />
collection and one for their school’s<br />
permanent collection.<br />
“I learned a lot about their personal process,<br />
sources of inspiration and art-making<br />
techniques from talking to [the artists],”<br />
Atkin said. “As an aspiring artist, it was<br />
really interesting for me to get to talk to<br />
them in a personal manner and learn more<br />
about how to make it in the art world.”<br />
Bonhomme celebrates 50 years<br />
of children’s programming<br />
In <strong>19</strong>69, school for toddlers was vastly<br />
different than it is in 20<strong>19</strong>. Although<br />
times have changed, life 50 years later at<br />

remains as pure and play-based as it once<br />
was, even with a newly inspired mission of<br />
helping children, faith and families grow.<br />

When Bonhomme Preschool opened<br />
its doors, the program consisted of two<br />
classrooms – one of 3-year-olds and one of<br />
4-year-olds. A volunteer-run Mother’s Day<br />
Out program began with just 22 students<br />
in <strong>19</strong>86. The program grew to be known as<br />
Kids Day Out.<br />
Today, the Preschool and Kids Day Out<br />
are merged into one program with eight<br />
classrooms, office space, playgrounds<br />
and a brightly colored multipurpose room<br />
called the Grow & Go Zone.<br />

Parkway South students spend a<br />
week learning essential adult skills<br />
October <strong>23</strong>, 20<strong>19</strong><br />
WEST NEWSMAGAZINE I SCHOOLS I <strong>19</strong><br />
By BONNIE KRUEGER<br />
Adulting. It’s a 21st-century slang word,<br />
defined as a verb in the Urban Dictionary<br />
and meaning “to do grown-up things and<br />
hold responsibilities, such as a 9 to 5 job, a<br />
mortgage/rent, a car payment, or anything<br />
else that makes one think of grown-ups.”<br />
Recently, approximately 40 Parkway<br />
South High students engaged in a one-week<br />
crash course in adulting as part of their Personal<br />
and Professional Development class<br />
under the umbrella of the Family and Consumer<br />
Sciences [FACS] curriculum.<br />
Life and real-world skills are the focus<br />
of the FACS curriculum and, after hearing<br />
feedback from former and current students,<br />
teacher Monica Dickens strengthened the<br />
course to include Adulting Week.<br />
am leaning toward marketing or business<br />
administration.”<br />
Senior Joe Vankirk expressed just the<br />
opposite. He already knew car maintenance<br />
basics but learning to sew and iron<br />
was new to him. His favorite activity of the<br />
week was the job fair, sponsored by Junior<br />
Achievement, which taught him how to network.<br />
Having an interest in the criminology<br />
field, he was able to make connections with<br />
a Chesterfield police officer, an FBI agent<br />
and a detective. The course also opened his<br />
eyes to the possibility of entering the military<br />
after he had the chance to speak with<br />
U.S. Army and Marine Corps recruiters.<br />
“I am still trying to figure out what to do<br />
after high school. I was thinking of [being<br />
a] police officer, but researching it opened<br />
up other pathways to explore,” Vankirk said.<br />

“Students desire to build the skills they<br />
see their parents demonstrate. Many students<br />
over the years have said that they<br />
value their education, but also want to build<br />
the essential skills to be a successful adult,”<br />
Dickens explained. “Adulting Week incorporates<br />
student input on what they would<br />
like to learn, along with essential skills that<br />
students can use now and in the future.”<br />
During the week, students learned basic<br />
car maintenance, how to sew on a button<br />
and use an iron, fine dining etiquette and networking<br />
skills. Employees from Midas also<br />
spent time on the South campus teaching students<br />
how to check fluid levels and change a<br />
tire. The experience helps to remind students<br />
that learning to maintain a car can save time<br />
and money in the long run. The main focus<br />
of the Personal and Professional Development<br />
class is to investigate careers and zero<br />
in on educational choices while developing a<br />
resumé and interview skills.<br />
Junior Mackenzie Froidl enrolled in<br />
the course to help narrow down possible<br />
career paths. Through the [adulting] class,<br />
I am learning that there are multiple pathways<br />
in the business field,” she said. “I<br />
Another benefit of the job fair was the<br />
potential of securing a career shadow opportunity.<br />
Dickens already has a partnership<br />
with Balducci Corporation, which owns local<br />
McDonald’s restaurants and participates<br />
with the students by conducting interviews<br />
and reviewing resumés. Those interactions<br />
help the students learn to make appropriate<br />
eye contact and shake hands – soft skills that<br />
Dickens refers to as power skills.<br />
“We need to focus on building essential<br />
power skills and get away from saying ‘soft<br />
skills’ because these power skills are more<br />
important for the success of our students<br />
now and in the future. The essential power<br />
skills are communication, collaboration,<br />
professional skills, striving for excellence,<br />
critical thinking and a growth mindset.<br />
While working with industry leaders, they<br />
said that if we can build power skills, they<br />
can build the knowledge needed for their<br />
career,” Dickens elaborated. “If students<br />
express a desire to learn specific skills, it is<br />
my desire to meet those needs by allotting<br />
special time, while also meeting the needs<br />
of the curriculum. Student need dictates<br />
our learning.”<br />

High school volleyball<br />
Senior Avery Crowder<br />
reached 1,500 assists in her<br />
volleyball career with the<br />
defending Class 4 state champion<br />
Eureka Wildcats.<br />
Coach Jodie Fowler noted<br />
1,500 career assists is a big deal.<br />
Crowder earned 862 last<br />
season running the 5-1 offense. In her<br />
sophomore year, she earned 433, splitting<br />
time in a 6-2 offense.<br />
"If a setter earns about 700 a year [on<br />
average] and they start as a freshman they<br />
could earn much more," Fowler said. "That<br />
is rare, but it happens. A setter from an<br />
Austin, Texas, suburb high school had over<br />
2,000 assists a month ago, but she's been<br />
setting a 5-1 for all four years."<br />
Fowler said Crowder did not know she<br />
was reaching the milestone.<br />
"She had no clue," Fowler said. "Her<br />
teammates spent some time making a<br />
poster and kept the secret."<br />
Crowder has all the traits a good setter<br />
needs, Fowler said.<br />
PREP FOOTBALL<br />
WEEK 9<br />
with a decisive 35-0 triumph. It was the<br />
Mustangs’ second victory over the Lancers<br />

Eureka's Valentine is not just a football player, he's also a Best Buddy<br />
By WARREN MAYES<br />
There's more to Eureka's Zach Valentine<br />
than catching touchdown passes and or<br />
making tackles. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound<br />
senior receiver and defensive back is also<br />
a Best Buddy.<br />
"In our school, [Best Buddies] is a big<br />
deal and I'm glad to be a part of it," said<br />
Valentine, who is the program’s chapter<br />
secretary. "It helps build one-on-one<br />
relationships with kids with special abilities.”<br />
For Valentine, it’s personal. "I have a<br />
younger brother [Aiden] who has special<br />
abilities," he said. "I'm very supportive<br />
of him. I coached his Special Olympics<br />
flag football team. I was glad to help him<br />
do that. I see how much fun he has. I see<br />
the other kids enjoying it, too. It's really<br />
incredible."<br />
John Deavers, a special education<br />
teacher and the sponsor of Best Buddies at<br />
Eureka, said said Valentine is committed to<br />
the program.<br />
“He really believes in the Best Buddies<br />
mission and works hard to make sure that<br />
all students are positively included as visible<br />
members of our school,” Deavers said.<br />
“Zach participates in all of our activities.<br />
He has helped coach players for ‘Friday<br />
Night Lights,’ collect coats for our coat<br />
drive, cook food for ‘Breakfast with Buddies,’<br />
and helped with our year-end party<br />
where we played kickball.”<br />
Deavers said it’s great to see a student<br />
get so involved with the program.<br />
“Zach has a passion to make sure all<br />
students have a friend, regardless of any<br />
physical or intellectual disabilities they<br />
may have,” Deavers explained.<br />
Valentine’s other passion is football but<br />
he had to overcome the challenge of a<br />
terrible knee injury to get to the level he<br />
is playing at this season for the Wildcats.<br />
vercome the challenge of terrible knee<br />
injury to get to the level he is playing at<br />
this season for the Wildcats.<br />
“He started as freshman,” Sumner said.<br />
“He did a great job that year at cornerback<br />
for us.”<br />
His sophomore season began with a<br />
bang. In three games, he only caught five<br />
passes but he turned those into <strong>23</strong>1 yards<br />
and three touchdowns. He averaged just<br />
more than 46 yards per catch. Then, halfway<br />
through his fifth game, it all fell apart.<br />
Valentine suffered a debilitating knee<br />
injury, one that robbed him of the rest of<br />
his sophomore year. As he rehabilitated, a<br />
second knee surgery was required, this one<br />
on his other knee.<br />
"I was 16 and got my license, and then<br />
the next day we played Lafayette," Valentine<br />
said. That’s when the injury occurred.<br />
"I caught a screen pass for a touchdown.<br />
Then, late in the game, I was on the right<br />
side and came in motion and took the<br />
handoff and went up the sideline. A linebacker<br />
was out there. He was trying to<br />
make a play; I had my foot planted in the<br />
ground and he hit me. He spun and my foot<br />
was on the ground and it twisted my knee<br />
when I went down.<br />
"I knew something was up right away."<br />
Valentine tore his anterior cruciate ligament<br />
[ACL], medial collateral ligament<br />
[MCL], lateral meniscus, patellofemoral<br />
tendon and partially tore his patellar<br />
tendon.<br />
The first surgery repaired everything in<br />
his knee except for the ACL, Valentine<br />
said. He pushed through the punishment as<br />
he worked in physical therapy to break up<br />
the scar tissue.<br />
“Every day was a mental battle,” Valentine<br />
said.<br />
His dreams kept him pushing through<br />
the pain.<br />
“I'm hoping to play in college and that<br />
motivated me,” he said.<br />
Through the first seven weeks of the<br />
season, Valentine leads the team in receiving<br />
with 29 catches for 549 yards and seven<br />
touchdowns. He's averaging 18.9 yards per<br />
catch. He has an interception on defense<br />
and has returned two punts for 78 yards.<br />
He believes the Wildcats can go deep in<br />
the postseason.<br />
"The goal is a state championship," Valentine<br />
said.

New research published during Breast Cancer<br />
Awareness Month analyzes recent progress<br />
made in treating the disease in men.<br />
[Adobe Stock photo]<br />
HEALTH<br />
CAPSULES<br />
By LISA RUSSELL<br />
New research highlights<br />
male breast cancer<br />
As National Breast Cancer Awareness<br />
Month comes to a close on Oct. 31, new<br />
research published this month shines a spotlight<br />
on a form of the disease not often discussed:<br />
male breast cancer [MBC].<br />
Although no randomized clinical trials<br />
focused specifically on MBC have been<br />
successfully completed to date, it does comprise<br />
1% of all breast cancer cases. Some<br />
experts also believe that the incidence of<br />
breast cancer is rising among men.<br />
To examine MBC treatment trends in the<br />
U.S., and to help identify factors related<br />
to better outcomes for patients, a research<br />
team from the Mayo Clinic analyzed information<br />
from the National Cancer Database<br />
on men diagnosed with stage I-III breast<br />
cancer between 2004 and 2014. It included<br />
nearly 11,000 patients with MBC, with a<br />
median age of 64 at diagnosis.<br />
During that <strong>10</strong>-year study period, they<br />
found a significant increase in the percentage<br />
of men undergoing total mastectomy, as<br />
well as prophylactic mastectomy [removal<br />
of the other healthy breast in a patient undergoing<br />
mastectomy] and the use of radiation<br />
in cases of breast conservation. More men<br />
are also benefitting from genomic testing on<br />
tumors as well as the use of anti-estrogen<br />
medications like tamoxifen, which helps to<br />
slow or stop tumor growth.<br />
Factors found to be related to better MBC<br />
survival from 2004-2014 included living<br />
in higher-income areas; having tumors<br />
that express the progesterone receptor; and<br />
receiving chemotherapy, radiation, and/<br />
or anti-estrogen therapy. Some of the factors<br />
associated with worse overall survival<br />
were older age, high tumor grade and stage,<br />
having multiple additional health problems,<br />
and undergoing total mastectomy. In general,<br />
black men also had worse treatment<br />
outcomes than white men.<br />
“Our study highlights unique practice<br />
patterns and factors associated with prognosis<br />
in MBC, furthering our understanding<br />
of [its] treatment and prognosis,” said Dr.<br />
Kathryn Ruddy, who led the research. “The<br />
racial, economic, and age-related health<br />
disparities we found could inform future<br />

efforts to optimize outcomes in men with<br />
breast cancer.”<br />
More drugs recalled due to<br />
cancer-causing substances<br />
The Food and Drug Administration<br />
[FDA] has announced recalls of a number<br />
of a growing number of medications used to<br />
treat high blood pressure over the past several<br />
months, due to the discovery of possible<br />
cancer-causing impurities in them. These<br />
commonly prescribed medicines include<br />
the blood pressure drugs valsartan, losartan,<br />
and irbesartan in different combinations and<br />
from different manufacturers.<br />
In September, both prescription and<br />
generic versions of the heartburn drug<br />
ranitidine, which is sold under the brand<br />
name Zantac, were added to the list of<br />
recalled drugs for the same reason. As of<br />
Oct. 1, major drugstore chains including<br />
CVS and Walgreens had pulled Zantac and<br />
other generic brands of ranitidine from their<br />
shelves as a precautionary measure.<br />
In each case, the recalled drugs were<br />
found to be contaminated with one of<br />
three types of chemicals known as NDMA,<br />
NDEA or NMBA. These substances are<br />
believed to cause cancer in humans after<br />
long-term exposure at high levels, although<br />
the FDA has noted that the drugs analyzed<br />
to date have been contaminated with small<br />

amounts of these substances.<br />
The FDA has potentially traced the presence<br />
of these chemicals to two drug manufacturing<br />
facilities located in China and<br />
India.<br />
Ranitidine belongs to the class of drugs<br />
known as H2 [histamine-2] blockers. The<br />
FDA is not currently calling for people to<br />
stop taking the drug, and is continuing<br />
to test ranitidine products from multiple<br />
manufacturers. Based on information currently<br />
available, there is no evidence that<br />
other types of H2 blockers, which include<br />
famotidine [Pepcid], cimetidine [Tagamet]<br />
and nizatidine [Axid] contain any dangerous<br />
substances.<br />
The FDA has advised patients taking<br />
any of the recalled blood pressure drugs<br />
to continue doing so until their doctor or<br />
pharmacist provides a replacement, because<br />
stopping these medications can be hazardous.<br />
Not all manufacturers and lot numbers<br />
of the drugs are affected. Up-to-date information<br />
about the recalls is available by visiting<br />
fda.gov and searching “list of recalled<br />
Angiotensin-II Receptor Blockers [ARBs]<br />
including Valsartan, Losartan and Irbesartan.”<br />
Both parents should stop drinking<br />
before pregnancy, experts warn<br />
Moms-to-be are generally advised to<br />
reduce or eliminate alcohol even before they<br />
start trying to conceive in order to protect<br />
their infants against birth defects, particularly<br />
heart abnormalities. However, new<br />
research shows that this advice should apply<br />
to both parents.<br />
The analysis, the first to look at paternal<br />
alcohol intake and fetal heart risk, encompassed<br />
more than 50 studies conducted<br />
between <strong>19</strong>91 and 20<strong>19</strong>. It found that<br />
fathers’ alcohol consumption, during the<br />
three months before conception was associated<br />
with a 44% increased risk of congenital<br />
heart disease in their infants, when compared<br />
with those who drank no alcohol. For<br />
mothers, the increased risk was 16%. For<br />
parents who binge drank – defined as having<br />
five or more drinks in one sitting – the risk<br />
of heart abnormalities in their babies grew<br />
by 52% for men and 16% for women.<br />
Dr. Jiabi Qin, who led the research, said<br />
the results suggest that to limit this risk, men<br />
should abstain from alcohol for at least six<br />
months prior to conception, while women<br />
should stop drinking a full year prior, in<br />
addition to avoiding alcohol during pregnancy.<br />
“We observed a gradually rising risk of<br />
congenital heart diseases as parental alcohol<br />
consumption increased. The relationship<br />
was not statistically significant at lower<br />
quantities,” he said.<br />
Qin noted that the observational study<br />
cannot prove cause and effect between<br />
alcohol and fetal heart defects, nor can it<br />
conclude that fathers’ drinking before pregnancy<br />
is more harmful to the fetal heart than<br />
maternal drinking. The data also cannot be<br />
used to define an amount of alcohol consumption<br />
that might be considered safe, he<br />
added.<br />
“Although our analysis has limitations, it<br />
does indicate that men and women planning<br />
a family should give up alcohol,” he said.<br />
The study was published in the European<br />
Journal of Preventive Cardiology.<br />

Parkside Grille: The ‘Secret on Strecker’ offers unbeatable food, service and live music<br />
By SUZANNE CORBETT<br />
I can’t keep a secret, especially when it<br />
comes to Parkside Grille.<br />
Good food and good service has made<br />
it a <strong>West</strong> County destination for lunch<br />
and dinner. It’s casual, yet upscale, chefdriven<br />
cuisine served with style.<br />
The PSG Harvest Plate featuring chicken,<br />
acorn squash and a harvest-themed salad<br />
“Some people still call us ‘the Secret<br />
on Strecker,’” Parkside Grille owner and<br />
operator Jean Ann Mantia said. “People<br />
Parkside Grille<br />
still come in saying they didn’t know we<br />
were here. But before they leave, they say<br />
they’ll be back.”<br />
Parkside Grille is known for its rustic,<br />
cozy atmosphere; inviting bar and patio;<br />
and, of course, its menu. Designed by<br />
Mantia, the menu features classic grill and<br />
gourmet fare done with what’s been called<br />
‘The Parkside Twist.’<br />
That twist yields creative plates executed<br />
by Parkside Grille’s chef, Mark<br />
Wentz, who is assisted byline cook Rob<br />
Burke. Together with Mantia, the culinary<br />
team creates inspired plates such as the<br />
Loaded Lobster Club – succulent lobster<br />
dressed with aioli and layered with peppered<br />
bacon, avocado, tomato and leaf<br />
lettuce on a buttery, toasted croissant bun.<br />
For even more lobster, order the Fresh<br />
Lobster, Spinach and Artichoke Dip. It’s<br />
an “ultimate twist” that takes the common<br />
spinach dip to new heights.<br />
It’s those twists and extra touches that<br />
make a huge difference in flavor her customers<br />
can taste, Mantia said.<br />
505 Strecker Road • Wildwood • (636) 422-8483 • theparksidegrille.com<br />
Hours: 11 a.m.-9 p.m., Tuesday- Thursday; 11 a.m.-midnight, Friday and Saturday;<br />
noon-8 p.m., Sunday with live music Wednesday through Sunday<br />
Owners Jean Ann and Rocky Mantia, Rob<br />
Burke and Chef Mark Wentz<br />
“We use craft beer to make our beer batter.<br />
Our chicken wings are tossed with our own<br />
signature hot sauce. And our salads, like the<br />
Roasted Beet Salad topped with a crispy<br />
goat cheese fritter, are served with your<br />
choice of dressing that are all made from<br />
scratch. “Everything here is made fresh<br />
every day. That’s important because freshness<br />
matters to me. Fresh elevates taste.<br />
We don’t accept anything frozen, including<br />
the meat. That’s another difference you<br />
can taste, especially in our burgers that are<br />
made from <strong>10</strong>0% certified Black Angus<br />
beef. Some of our produce comes from<br />
across the street at Zick’s Nursery.”<br />
Using seasonal ingredients often<br />
inspires the daily specials.<br />
“I always know my regular customers<br />
because as soon as they walk in, they turn<br />
and look at the special board,” Mantia said.<br />
“That’s a fun thing for me because they<br />
know the specials are always awesome.”<br />
Five to six specials are written on the<br />
board each day. Recently, those included<br />
Corn Chowder, BBQ Brisket, Beer Battered<br />
Shrimp, Meatloaf, Tomato Mozzarella<br />
Fried Eggplant Salad and a BBQ<br />
Burger. Regulars also know to look for<br />
Wentz’s seasonal specials, which currently<br />
include the PSG Harvest Plate [grilled<br />
salmon or chicken with stuffed baby butternut<br />
squash and an elegant, harvest-themed<br />
salad of brown rice, quinoa, toasted walnuts,<br />
curry-roasted carrots and feta.<br />
When you can’t make it into Parkside<br />
Grille, you can order carry-out at ChowNow.<br />
com. But eating in the restaurant is the best,<br />
especially if you enjoy live music. Parkside<br />
Grille’s live music program is curated<br />
by Mantia’s husband, Rocky, who knows<br />
how to pick local performers that Parkside<br />
customers love. Music is offered each evening,<br />
Wednesday through Saturday, and<br />
from 3-6 p.m. on Sundays.<br />

POLICE STATION, from page 16<br />
by the city, does require that lower level<br />
parking structure, and does require the relocation<br />
of part of Kehrs Mill Bend Court.”<br />
Alderman Jim Leahy [Ward 3] wasted no<br />
time in eliminating option C as his choice.<br />
He flatly stated that he is not interested in<br />
acquiring property. Leahy also was vehement<br />
in another matter. “My personal opinion<br />
is, we shouldn’t invest any more money<br />
in further studies until we make a decision<br />
[about which one option to pursue],” he said.<br />
According to one of the early slides in<br />
JEMA’s presentation, the progression they<br />
would like to follow in this process is:<br />

1. Site selection: Select the most feasible<br />
and best site available to develop the new<br />
facility concept design further.<br />
2. Concept design [six weeks]: Develop a<br />
site plan, floor plan and building elevations<br />
in collaboration with the city.<br />
3. Refine cost opinion [two weeks]:<br />
Update total project cost opinion based on<br />
concept design.<br />
4. Visualization [three weeks]: Develop<br />
3D renderings of the proposed building<br />
design.<br />
City Administrator Bob Kuntz cautioned<br />
the board not to rush into a decision<br />
regarding site selection. He added that their<br />
choices also should consider financial concerns,<br />
not just from the outset, but also for<br />
add-ons and issues that may become prevalent<br />
in the middle-and long-term. To Mueller<br />
and Emert, Kuntz said, “I think you’ve<br />
done what we asked you to do.”<br />
Kuntz told the board, “One option that<br />
comes to mind is to kick the can a little<br />
bit down the road. I think slow but steady<br />
might be a good course. The entire police<br />
function could operate on an interim basis<br />
in the old government center. If you want to<br />
move forward, instead of making a commitment<br />
tonight, maybe you’ll look at that third<br />
option. I don’t know. But it doesn’t appear<br />
that we’re ready to make such a big decision<br />
with so many questions.”<br />
October <strong>23</strong>, 20<strong>19</strong><br />
WEST NEWSMAGAZINEI 43<br />
On that note, Mayor Tim Pogue noted<br />
that Ballwin hasn’t received any Request<br />
For Proposals [RFPs] on the old government<br />
center.<br />
Kuntz said that due to the current level of<br />
indecision, he has delayed his conversations<br />
with the bank regarding possible land acquisition<br />
for the Kehrs Mill Bend Court option.<br />
“I’m sorry. I don’t want to delay, but I want<br />
you to make a decision you’re comfortable<br />
with,” Kuntz said. “There’s no easy answer.<br />
You’re looking at a 20- to 30-year commitment<br />
no matter what choice you make.”<br />
The board has chosen four to six weeks<br />
as a target to make such a decision before<br />
having JEMA continue its four-step process.<br />

TOP 4 THINGS EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT EYELASH EXTENSIONS:<br />
1. What can I expect? Rest and rejuvenation! Our private spa atmosphere will allow you to unwind, relax or<br />
even take a nap.<br />
2. What are Extensions and how are they applied? Accentuate the color and<br />
brightness of your eyes with natural looking Eyelash Extensions, applied<br />
individually to each lash with an eye-lash safe glue. Application is pain free and<br />
you will not feel them on your eyes at all!<br />
3. Will they damage my lashes? Never at Blinks and Blushes! Latasha has extensive<br />
training and experience with a focus on natural eyelash health.<br />
4. How long do they last? Regular maintenance is usually 3-4 weeks, depending on<br />
the look you want and your schedule. In the mean time, enjoy your new look while<br />
saving time and money on clumping, messy mascara and make up remover! Wake<br />
up looking refreshed and ready to go! Similar to hair extensions, you can wash<br />
your face, swim, exercise and go about your life with a more youthful, alert look!<br />

Why Worry?<br />
Because old fashioned galvanized<br />
chase covers are rusting and leaking<br />
all across the country!<br />
The typical life of a galvanized chase<br />
cover is 7-9 years.<br />
chase, to prevent rain, melting snow,<br />
and everything else from entering<br />
into the chase.<br />
It could mean that there is water<br />
leaking into your house, which leads<br />
• Design<br />
to major problems.<br />
• Installation<br />
• Mold growth<br />
• Service<br />
• Sheet rock soaking in<br />
• Maintenance<br />
dampness, causing peeling,<br />
• Renovations<br />
dampness and strong odor.<br />
