I OPINION I 3 

Walter E. Williams 

Let’s not waste a crisis 

Former Barack Obama adviser Rahm 

Emanuel, during a recent interview, 

reminded us of his 2008 financial crisis 

quotation, “Never allow a crisis to go to 

waste.” The COVID-19 pandemic has presented 

a wonderful opportunity for those of 

us who want greater control over our lives. 

Sadly, too many Americans have already 

taken the bait. We’ve allowed politicians 

and bureaucrats to dictate to us what’s an 

essential business and what isn’t, who has 

access to hospitals and who hasn’t, and a 

host of minor and major dictates. 

Leftist politicians who want to get into 

our pocketbooks are beginning to argue that 

the COVID-19 pandemic is the best argument 

for a wealth tax. Let’s first define a 

wealth tax. A wealth tax is applicable to and 

levied on a variety of accumulated assets 

that include cash, money market funds, 

real property, trust funds, owner-occupied 

housing and other wealth accumulations. 

Assume a taxpayer earns $150,000 a year 

and falls in the 32% tax bracket. That individual’s 

income tax liability for the year 

will be 32% x $150,000 or $48,800. Say 

the taxpayer has a net worth of $500,000 

consisting of a business or home and the 

government imposes a wealth tax of 32%, 

the person’s tax liability is $160,000. 

The problem with most politicians is 

when they enact a law, they seldom ask, 

“Then what?” They assume a world of what 

economists call zero elasticity wherein 

people behave after a tax is imposed just as 

they behaved before the tax was imposed 

and the only difference is that more money 

comes into the government’s tax coffers. 

The long-term effect of a wealth tax is that 

people will try to avoid it by not accumulating 

as much wealth or concealing the 

wealth they accumulate. 

A wealth tax has become increasingly 

attractive because it lends itself to demagoguery 

about the significant wealth disparity 

in the United States. The Federal 

Reserve reports that, in 2018, the wealthiest 

10% of Americans owned 70% of 

the country’s wealth, and the richest 1% 

owned 32% of the wealth. That fact gave 

Democratic presidential contenders such 

as Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren 

incentives to propose a wealth tax as a part 

of their campaign rhetoric. Leftists lament 

that multibillionaires such as Charles Koch, 

Warren Buffett, Larry Ellison and Sheldon 

Adelson have not made charitable efforts 

to address the coronavirus crisis. 

My questions to these political leeches 

are: To whom does the billionaire’s wealth 

belong? And how did they accumulate 

such wealth? 

Did they accumulate their great wealth 

by looting, plundering and enslaving their 

fellow man, as has been the case throughout 

most of human history? No, they 

accumulated great wealth by serving and 

pleasing their fellow man in the pursuit of 

profits. Unfortunately, demagoguery and 

lack of understanding has led to “profit” 

becoming a dirty word. Profit is a payment 

to entrepreneurs just as wages are 

payments to labor, interest to capital and 

rent to land. In order to earn profits in free 

markets, entrepreneurs must identify and 

satisfy human wants in a way that economizes 

on society’s scarce resources. 

Here’s a question for you. Which entities 

produce greater consumer satisfaction: 

for-profit enterprises such as supermarkets, 

computer makers and clothing stores, or 

nonprofit entities such as public schools, 

post offices and motor vehicle departments? 

I’m guessing you’ll answer the 

former. Their survival depends on pleasing 

ordinary people. Public schools, post 

offices and motor vehicle departments’ survival 

are not strictly tied to pleasing people 

but rather on politicians and the ability of 

government to impose taxes. 

Some advocates of wealth taxes and 

other forms of taxation might argue that 

they are temporary measures to get us over 

the COVID-19 crisis. Do not buy that argument. 

The great Nobel Laureate economist 

Milton Friedman once said, “Nothing is 

more permanent than a temporary government 

program.” The telephone tax was 

levied on wealthy Americans with telephones 

in 1898 to help fund the Spanish- 

American War. That tax was repealed over 

100 years later in 2006. One of the objectives 

of the World War II withholding tax 

was to bring faster revenues to fight the 

war. The withholding of taxes is still with 

us blinding Americans on the taxes they 

pay. Let us not allow a crisis to bamboozle 

us again.

We need umpires 

In your April 22 edition, the opening editorial 

talked about “Today and Tomorrow.” 

Twice you mentioned we will be able to go 

back to “yelling at the umpire.” 

I find that to be a terrible thing to say. As 

a 20-year umpire at varying levels, including 

collegiate, that’s a bad message to print. 

We have lost umpire membership in recent 

years due to abuse of officials happening 

too regularly. 

Your publication, sarcastic or not, 

shouldn’t ever condone that activity. We 

need more people to sign up to be umpires. 

High school games have been forced to use 

one, instead of the normal two umpires, on 

many recent occasions because our membership 

is too low. 

Let’s try and encourage people to be 

better tomorrow, not continue to do negative 

actions. 

Adam Minnick 

Regarding gerrymandering 

Gerrymandering. What is it and why do 

we care? It’s about drawing lines on a map, 

and who gets to do the drawing. Amendment 

1, added to the Missouri constitution 

by a 62% voter approval, mandates that a 

non-partisan demographer draw the map 

as fair as possible using public voter data. 

However, some members of the Missouri 

House of Representatives don’t want to 

abide by the amendment, so they’re trying 

to pass Senate Joint Resolution 38. 

SJR38 would eliminate the nonpartisan 

state demographer and give all redistricting 

responsibility to two commissions, the 

House Independent Bipartisan Citizens 

Commission and the Senate Independent 

Bipartisan Citizens Commission. 

Our votes are supposed to matter equally. 

You and I are supposed to have the same 

amount of power. But if SJR 38 passes, we 

will lose the opportunity to vote the way 

we want. Instead, the House and Senate 

commissions will decide how to redistrict, 

based upon the new 2020 census data. 

Because the two commissions are full of 

political insiders, they’ll draw the new 

district lines so that politicians remain in 

office, regardless of how you and I decide 

to vote. Our democracy is supposed to be 

a point of American pride and unity. Don’t 

let politicians in Jefferson City get away 

with manipulating our districts to guarantee 

that they stay in power. 

Please join me and call your Missouri 

State Representative in Jefferson City and 

urge them to vote “No” on SJR 38. Now is 

the time to protect our democracy. 

Brian Andrich 

Regarding ‘Much like Ike’ 

John Stoeffler [April 22, “Much Like 

Ike”] got it wrong in his confused description 

of the COVID-19 medical community’s 

mission and goal. The mission never 

was “to save everyone’s life” as suggested 

by Mr. S. It was and is, to attempt to meet 

the goal of saving as many lives as possible. 

Trump’s ongoing incompetence is the principal 

cause of worldwide failure to meet that 

goal, thereby creating the Trump pandemic. 

Also, Mr. S’s so-called “analogy” is fundamentally 

flawed because Ike did, in fact, 

postpone D-Day on the advice of weather 

experts who told him that success or failure 

might turn on the difference in forecasts 

for June 5 [the original date set for D-Day] 

and June 6. Ike knew that heeding expert 

advice meant a costly logistics nightmare 

of holding, for 24 hours, thousands of vessels 

and tens of thousands of seasick soldiers 

aboard crowded troopships already in 

rough waters, as well as massive land and 

air forces in England poised to reinforce the 

D-Day landings. We all know how things 

turned out: Ike did not push ahead on June 

5. Instead he won the day on June 6. 

Now a mission’s success or failure turns 

on Trump’s heeding the medical community’s 

advice for dealing with the Trump 

pandemic’s current wave while preparing 

for the worst: a more virulent wave occurring 

before a vaccine or curative treatment 

is developed [none was ever found for the 

1918-1919 Spanish Flu which cured itself 

only after its two waves killed as many as 

100 million people worldwide, including 

more than 650,000 Americans. 

Admittedly, Trump is no Eisenhower, but 

if he fails to heed the medical community, 

many more preventable deaths will occur 

with no chance of a meaningful economic 

recovery during the current administration 

or even during the next one. 

Bill Howard 

Election reforms 

There are many things up in the air right 

now, but our democracy shouldn’t be one 

of them. 

Experts estimate we need at least $4 billion 

to make sure states can prepare for elections 

in the time of coronavirus. Otherwise 

millions of voters might be disenfranchised. 

Congress passed $400 million which 

gets the process started. 

Every voter needs safe options to vote by 

mail, early and on election day. 

Congress must pass additional funding 

to make sure our November elections are 

prepared for this unprecedented year.

Spiro’s is looking for answers to provide 

a safe environment for their customers 

As Spiro’s opens up its restaurants 

amid lingering concerns 

around COVID-19, one thing 

is paramount: The safety of its 

customers and staff. 

“This is a very difficult time 

and no one has all the answers 

“We’re going to do whatever 

we can to protect customers.” 

– Tim Karagiannis 

but we’re going to do the very 

best we can to help keep our 

customers, staff and families 

safe,” said restaurant manager 

Tim Karagiannis, whose family 

originated the local Greek 

restaurant in 1975. “A year ago, 

our conversations were about 

recipes and plating. Now, we’re 

focused on protocols to protect 

– as much as we can – our customers 

and staff.” 

With a location in St. Charles 

County, Karagiannis could have 

been back in business on May 4 

but he chose to wait until a new 

air purification system 

was in 

place at that location. 

“We waited past the opening 

date by more than a week in St. 

Charles to make sure that we 

have every possible precaution 

in place,” Karagiannis said. 

The system, installed by Classic 

Aire Care, uses 

ultra-violet light 

in combination 

with a carbon 

filter to reduce 

airborne pathogens. 

The same system will be 

installed at the Chesterfield 

location prior to its reopening. 

Additionally, the company 

added motion-activated faucets 

and soap dispensers in its restrooms 

and is following 

the guidelines 

recommended 

by the state and 

the Centers for 

Disease Control 

and Prevention. 

“We’re trying 

to minimize the 

risk as much as possible 

here at Spiro’s,” Karagiannis 

said. 

The purest air possible 

The Fresh-Aire UV 

APCO is an advanced 

photocatalytic oxidation induct 

air purifier, which is 

proven to reduce airborne 

mold spores, bacteria, odors 

and viruses. 

“It’s very low maintenance 

and effective,” said Trevor 

Miller, vice president of Classic 

Aire Care. “We’ve been working 

with it for about five years 

and it’s been a very 

successful product for 

us. I have one in my 

home, and we’ve put 

hundreds of them in 

homes all across the 

St. Louis region.” 

“That’s all I needed 

to know,” Karagiannis 

said. “I saw them first 

hand, did my research 

and told Trevor to install 

them. Why not? 

Why not have that 

air pass through the 

APCO system? It’s just 

adding another layer of 

protection.” 

According to its manufacturer, 

the patented Fresh- 

Aire UV APCO 

cell absorbs contaminates, 

allows 

for the complete 

oxidation of 

those contaminates 

and breaks 

down captured 

impurities into simple 

carbon dioxide and 

water vapor. 

“The UV-C light along with 

the carbon filter really helps get 

rid of the things you don’t want 

in the air you breathe – smells, 

odors, VOCs [volatile organic 

compounds], bacteria, mold, viruses, 

all that stuff,” Miller said. 

While Karagiannis acknowledged 

that no system or person 

is perfect, he said it’s important 

to him that Spiro’s does what it 

can to operate its restaurants as 

safely as possible. 

“A lot of our employees have 

family members at home who 

are in high risk populations,” 

Classic Aire technician installating a 

Fresh-Aire UV APCO TM at the St. Charles location 

he said. “So, we’re going to do 

whatever we can to protect customers, 

employees and families. 

Everybody’s got family – that’s 

really what it’s all about.” 

Forty-five years of 

family meals 

“Our customers are the best!” 

Karagiannis declared. “The 

original Spiro’s opened in 1975. 

The Chesterfield location at 

1054 N. Woods Mill Road, 

opened in 1981 and the St. 

Charles location at 2275 Bluestone 

Drive, opened in 2004. 

“During the shutdown of 

our dining rooms, we’ve had 

so many of our customers with 

families express that they miss 

us. They’ve been supporting us, 

calling in orders for curbside 

and pickup, and leaving very 

large gratuities for our staff . 

Karagiannis thanked the 

community for its support. 

“We’re doing the best that we 

can,” he said, “for all our families.”

briefs 

CHESTERFIELD 

County sues local gym 

over early opening 

St. Louis County announced on May 

11 that it was going to court to force the 

closure of two House of Pain fitness center 

locations that have defied the county’s stayat-home 

order. Specifically, it is seeking to 

file a temporary restraining order against 

both of House of Pain Gym Service’s locations 

– one in Chesterfield and another in 

Maryland Heights – for disregarding the 

county’s order stating that gyms and fitness 

centers must remain closed. 

One day prior to the suit filing, on May 

10, House of Pain’s CEO Joe Corbett 

posted a video on Facebook stating that he 

had made a decision to keep both of the 

gyms open for business despite an order 

from St. Louis County to close their doors. 

In another update video made on May 14, 

Corbett said both locations were open and 

are being actively attended by members. 

“I want to be very clear, our purpose 

for doing this is not based on publicity, or 

picking a fight, or a showdown with the 

government,” Corbett said in the May 10 

video. “That’s not our intention at all.” He 

went on to describe the county’s call for 

closure as an overreach. 

Both gym locations opened their doors 

to members on May 4 despite the fact that 

the county’s stay-at-home order stated that 

select businesses could open no sooner 

than May 18. Gyms are not a category of 

businesses that will be allowed to open 

their doors on that date. 

“We’re doing what we feel is right for 

small business and right for our members 

and the people we serve,” Corbett said in 

the May 10 video. 

The suit was filed Monday, May 11 in 

the St. Louis County Circuit Court after 

multiple warnings were issued to the gyms. 

House of Pain was given a deadline of 5 

p.m. on May 10 to shut down. 

In addition to calling for both of House 

of Pain’s locations to close, the suit asks 

that Corbett supply a comprehensive list 

of names and contact information for individuals 

who have entered the gyms’ premises. 

This information would be sent to the 

county’s contact tracing team. The county 

also wants to test each of the individuals 

on the list for COVID-19 and for House of 

Pain to cover that cost. 

As of press time, the case remains ongoing. 

Skydiving without the free fall 

The long-awaited indoor skydiving 

center is almost here. At the Planning 

Commission’s virtual meeting May 11, a 

site development plan was approved for 

SkyGroup Investments LLC for 1.6 acres 

located north of N. Outer 40 Road and east 

of Boone’s Crossing. 

iFly, a global operator of indoor skydiving 

centers, plans to construct a 

6,713-square-foot indoor skydiving facility 

on a lot adjacent to Topgolf. 

iFly offers guests a simulated skydiving 

experience in a vertical wind tunnel. 

According to the company’s website, four 

fans are located in the optimal position 

for flow quality to drive the air around a 

simple and efficient loop. The airflow is 

narrowed below the flying chamber to 

speed and smooth the flow. 

The building will be a two-story structure 

with an overall height of 65 feet, required 

for the tunnel airflow systems and airflow 

path, according to Mike Knight, assistant 

city planner. 

In accordance with the Chesterfield 

Valley design policies, materials for the 

building [stucco, brushed aluminum, metal 

cornice and glass] and its colors [red, tan, 

aluminum and white] are largely the same 

on all facades in the area and will be compatible 

with adjacent buildings. 

According to Mason Becker, design project 

manager with ARCO/Murray Design 

Build, the exterior design accentuates 

height as the catalyst of experiencing flight. 

“All the exterior elements draw the 

CREVE COEUR 

Portion of Ladue Road closed 

Drivers who regularly use Ladue Road 

between Interstate 270 and Mason Road 

will need to determine alternate routes 

starting next week. 

On Monday, May 11, crews closed 

Ladue Road to through traffic between 

I-270 and Mason to remove and replace a 

bridge over Hibler Creek. Local traffic will 

be able to get to Laduemont Drive from the 

west, and to Chaselle Lane from the east. 

Drivers can use I-270, Olive Boulevard 

and Route 141 to detour around the closure. 

The bridge was scheduled to close after 

Memorial Day, however, the closure 

was accelerated to ensure the bridge was 

reopened to traffic before school starts in 

the fall. The bridge is scheduled to reopen 

to traffic by Aug. 11. 

WILDWOOD 

Meals for Mercy 

Jenny Goskie, owner of Jenny Goskie 

Farmers Insurance Agency in Wildwood 

and the vice president of the Wildwood 

Business Association, wanted to find a way 

to help healthcare professionals working 

on the frontlines against the COVID-19 

pandemic while also supporting the businesses 

in the local community that were 

looking for ways to help from a distance. 

For inspiration, she looked to her peers 

in Franklin County. Another Famers Insurance 

agent in that area was reaching out 

to restaurants to prepare sponsored meals 

that were then donated to Mercy Hospital 

Washington in Washington, Missouri. 

“They were having tremendous success

and it was really helping their local businesses 

keep their doors open,” Goskie said. 

“That’s really how it came about. We knew 

we wanted to do something, and then we 

heard about this program.” 

It was then that Meals for Mercy was 

born. 

Goskie launched the St. Louis-area program 

in the first week of April. Since then, 

the program has gone on to donate over 

700 meals to Mercy Hospital St. Louis 

while simultaneously giving a total of 

$5,600 back to local restaurants who have 

participated. 

“It didn’t really surprise me, because I 

know the community we’re in and I know 

we love to give back,” Goskie said. 

According to Goskie, every restaurant 

that has been contacted has immediately 

jumped in to participate. 

“It’s been great,” Goskie said. “I’ve been 

reaching out via email, and I haven’t had 

anyone say they don’t want to participate. 

Everyone has been so gracious and willing 

to help.” 

Once a restaurant says they want to participate, 

they are added to the program’s 

schedule. A different restaurant handles 

a different meal each day. Currently, the 

program delivers meals three times Assistant a week. 

People wanting to sponsor a meal can call 

the restaurant directly, place an order and 

pay for the donation without any middleman 

handling the finances. This means that 

not only is a meal donated to the program, 

but the entire $8 cost goes right into the 

pocket of the restaurant. 

The daily goal of the program is to get 

50 meals sponsored for frontline workers at 

Mercy Hospital Mari St. Janko, Louis PA-C in Creve Coeur. 

This amount Certified was determined Physician through communication 

with the hospital in terms of 

Assistant 

how many individuals are on-call and 

working. 

According to Goskie, some restaurants 

that have participated in the program so 

far include Big Chief Grill, Thai Bistro, 

Parkside Grille, Benedetto’s on Main 

and Craft Eats & Drinks. Some restaurants 

from outside the Wildwood area 

also have been involved, including Super 

Smokers’ BBQ and Sarah’s on Central in 

Eureka. 

Goskie oversees the transport of the 

ready-to-eat meals to the hospital every 

day. While she sometimes works alone, 

other times she has help from corporate 

sponsors who buy part if not the entire 

50-day meal quota. 

“Anybody who wants to volunteer or 

help make this thing bigger, than can 

Our location is currently open 

and seeing patients. If you need to book 

an appointment, please give us a call.

ELECTION PREVIEW 

IELECTION PREVIEW I 11 

On the Ballot: 

Candidates and 

propositions 

In anticipation of the April 7 [now June 

2] municipal election, West County candidates, 

in contested races only, were invited 

to answer the following questions: 

1. What are your priorities if elected? 

2. What are your qualifications for holding 

public office? 

West Newsmagazine has not verified 

and does not endorse the statements 

made by the candidates. Candidates in 

all races are listed in ballot order; incumbents 

are identified with an asterisk after 

their name. 

Additionally, for government agencies 

with propositions on the ballot, the exact 

ballot language is shown in this article. 

BALLWIN 

Ward 1: Michael Finley* 

Ward 2: Kevin Roach* 

Ward 3: Frank Fleming* 

Ward 4: Raymond Kerlagon* 

CHESTERFIELD 

Ward 1: Mary Monachella* 

1. Neighborhoods are my first priority. 

I will work to keep Olive/Clarkson from 

becoming another Manchester Road. I support 

quality development, with sufficient 

parking, for the mall and the new downtown 

areas, that will provide green space, 

avoid cluttered signage and complement 

our Central Park, amphitheater and lake. I 

oppose plans [such as Better Together] that 

adversely affect our city or its citizens. I 

oppose a Chesterfield residential real estate 

tax. 

2. I currently serve on City Council 

committees: Public Health And Safety 

[chair], Planning and Public Works, and 

the Police Personnel Board Liaison. My 

experience includes Planning Commissioner 

2017-2019, Parks, Recreation and 

Arts Citizen Advisory Committee member 

2016-2019, and president of the Village of 

Green Trails Association since 2017. I am 

a retired mathematics professor and former 

department chair at St. Louis Community 

College at Meramec. 

Ward 1: Barron Rutledge 

1. Fiscal responsibility will be my No. 1 

priority for the city of Chesterfield. I will 

focus on ensuring that Chesterfield is well 

suited to meet the demands of the future, 

encouraging more research on new developments 

and technologies as it concerns 

all aspects of the city and especially the 

expansion of green spaces. Simultaneously, 

I will see to it that Chesterfield is not only a 

great place to live but also to work. 

2. If politics is for the people, then no 

profession is more qualified than social 

work. As a social worker, I have worked 

with children and adults in various settings, 

served and was employed with Big Brothers 

Big Sisters, worked with AmeriCorp 

Vista, and currently I work with people 

who have chronic illness. I have a Master 

of Science in social work, with a focus on 

public policy from the University of Tennessee. 

Ward 2: Mary Ann Mastorakos* 

1. As a council member, I have and will 

continue to put the interests of our residents 

and the integrity of our neighborhoods first. 

I am a voice to preserve and protect green 

space. I will ensure that the city has an 

active role in the redevelopment of Chesterfield 

Mall and it once again becomes 

a community asset. I will advocate for 

responsible government that ensures our 

taxes are used wisely for police protection, 

public works and parks. 

2. I currently serve as a council member 

for Chesterfield. I chair Planning and 

Public Works and am council liaison to the 

Planning Commission. I am a member of 

the Parks, Recreation and Arts Committee 

of council and serve as liaison to the citizens 

Parks, Recreation and Arts advisory 

committee. I have always and will continue 

to be accessible to residents, ensure 

that apartments stay out of our neighborhoods 

and pledge to serve with integrity, 

honesty and transparency. 

Ward 2: Ted Read 

1. My priorities are public safety, putting 

residents first, and limiting/reducing 

taxes. If elected, I will stay engaged with 

residents through town halls, social media 

and other outreach. 

2. I believe my best skill set includes 

diplomacy and staying focused on the 

task without letting disagreement impede 

progress. I am very experienced with successfully 

managing large budgets. I have 

served as a trustee [now treasurer] of my 

homeowner’s association for five years. 

I have volunteered on countless school, 

church and community projects and activities. 

Chesterfield is a special place and my 

single motivation to run for office is to 

keep it special. 

Ward 3: Michael Moore* 

Ward 4: Tom DeCampi* 

CLARKSON VALLEY 

Ward 1: Sue McNamara* 

Ward 2: Julie Blanner 

Ward 3: Lin Midyett* 

CREVE COEUR 

Ward 1: Heather P. Silverman* 

Ward 2: Nicole Greer 

Ward 3: Robert Hoffman* 

Ward 4: Dan Tierney 

DES PERES 

Mayor: Mark J. Becker* 

Ward 1: John E. Pound* 

Ward 2: Dean Fitzpatrick* 

Ward 3: Patrick Barrett* 

EUREKA 

Ward 1: Jerry Diekmann 

Candidate did not respond by press time. 

Ward 1: Brian Smith 


Ward 2: Bryan Kiefer* 

1. My priorities if elected are continued 

improvement in water management and 

waterway maintenance, infrastructure, 

filling vacant storefronts and working to 

finish Prop E goals. 

2. My qualifications include being a current 

alderman 11 years on Planning and 

Zoning in Eureka; hard work and dedication. 

Ward 2: Kevin Kilpatrick 

1. My top priority is to limit floodplain 

development. Despite devastating floods in 

recent years we continue to make the same 

mistakes and have not tightened regulations 

which would help prevent making 

flooding even worse during major Meramec 

River flooding, in fact we have even 

weakened floodplain law in the region by 

annexing portions of Jefferson County that 

had stronger laws in place. At the least, we 

should honor stronger floodplain laws or 

not annex at all. 

2. I have remained active in the community 

over the last 33 years, often presenting 

at local meetings when important issues 

arise. I do my homework and believe I can 

communicate well, I also listen well. My 

wish is to encourage more public participation 

in all Eureka matters by improving 

the quality of our livestreams. I would also 

like to livestream the Planning and Zoning 

meetings. 

Ward 3: Jerry Holloway* 

1. I want to continue the push to bring 

quality water to the Eureka Community. 

That is my first priority. I also want to redirect 

the flood water away from all the businesses 

and residents in the areas that are 

always affected by heavy rain and water 

runoffs. 

2. My qualifications include serving on 

the Planning and Zoning board. This also 

will be my second term as alderman in 

Eureka’s Ward 3. I think the residents in 

my ward are familiar with me and how I 

respond to their issues in a timely manner. 

Ward 3: Brian Johnson 


MANCHESTER 

Mayor: Mike Clement* 

Ward 1: Nelson Nolte* 

Ward 2: Marilyn Ottenad* 

Ward 3: Benjamin Toben* 

PROPOSITION S: Shall the City 

increase the current maximum charge of 

twenty-eight dollars to a maximum charge 

not to exceed fifty dollars to be assessed 

annually on residential property for each 

lateral sewer service line serving six or 

less dwelling units on that property and 

condominiums that have six or less condominium 

units per building and any condominium 

responsible for its own individual 

lateral sewer line to provide funds to pay 

the cost of certain repairs of those lateral 

sewer lines which may be billed quarterly 

or annually. 

YES or NO [A simple majority is 

required for passage] 

TOWN & COUNTRY 

Ward 1: Barbara Ann Hughes 

Ward 2: Fred “Fritz” Wiesehan 

Ward 3: Jeff Wittmaier 

Ward 4: Sue Allen* 

TWIN OAKS 

Aldermen at Large [Two open seats]: 

• April Milne 

• Tim C. Stoeckl 

WILDWOOD 

Mayor: Jim Bowlin* 

1. My priorities are to limit residential 

development to what our residents want, 

solve some of our longstanding issues such 

as improving high-speed rural internet service 

and resolving drainage issues at Lake 

Chesterfield, as well as addressing erosion 

occurring around our creeks and streams. 

These come from listening to more than 

1,500 residents as I’ve walked door-to-door 

in all eight wards for re-election over the 

past five months. 

2. I am qualified by my leadership record 

as mayor, which includes the proven ability 

to get things done for our residents such 

as live streaming of all our public meetings, 

new resident outreach programs, synchronization 

of our seven zip codes, accelerated 

public improvements, drastically reducing 

the rezoning of land for condensed residential 

development, and following voter-

SAME DAY AND 

EMERGENCY SERVICE 

AVAILABLE! 

By JESSICA MESZAROS 

In the early morning hours of May 1, 

the Ballwin Police Department shut down 

Holloway Road in response to a reported 

police tip about a barricaded subject inside 

a local residence. The tip was reported to 

the department’s 911 call center, but after 

authorities responded to the home in question, 

it was quickly discerned that the tip 

had been a hoax. 

This form of online harassment is known 

as “swatting.” It occurs when an anonymous 

individual prank calls or sends a fake 

tip to an emergency service that results in 

the dispatch of police and emergency service 

response teams to another person’s 

address. In extreme cases, armed law 

enforcement officers or a SWAT team may 

be sent in to investigate the claim, hence 

the name. 

The victim of the call, as is the case with 

many similar cases, was cleared of any suspicion 

and not charged. 

According to Ballwin Public Information 

Officer Scott Stephens, the victims 

of these attacks, including the most recent 

one, are usually online gamers that become 

involved in heated discourse or trash talk 

on servers or in online chat rooms. 

“They [swatting calls] are pretty popular 

throughout the country,” Stephens said. 

“Most of the time, it happens through or 

originates from video game chats. We personally 

don’t get them a lot here, which is 

good, but we are aware of them.” 

While this is not the first swatting call 

the department has received, it is the only 

one reported to the department during the 

COVID-19 quarantine. 

“This is the first one we’ve seen in quite 

a while,” Stephens said. 

The origin of the call, in the early morning 

hours of May 1, is still being investigated 

by Ballwin detectives. While the 

fake call came through the department’s 

phone line, these fake tips can also be submitted 

via email or even via social media 

channels like Facebook. 

Sometimes, swatting calls can be a 

result of doxing. Doxing is another form 

of harassment where the private information 

of an online user, such as their phone 

number or home address, is leaked publicly 

online. This information can include 

details such as someone’s real name and 

financial records. 

According to Stephens, swatting calls 

are rarely one-off situations. They usually 

occur between two individuals who are 

aware of each other. He added that there’s 

not necessarily a [target] age demographic. 

“Any of these games that we see where 

there’s trash talk or anything like that, 

that’s what tends to get out of hand, and it 

goes from there,” Stephens said. 

In some cases, swatting is possible 

when individuals share too much personal 

information online. Other times, it is made 

possible when the offenders use malicious 

means to backtrace an individual’s location 

or account registration details via hacking 

techniques or software. 

This means that, while swatting calls 

and other forms of online harassment are 

hardly random, they can literally occur 

from anywhere in the world. 

“These calls come from around the country, 

sometimes from the other side of the 

world,” Stephens said. “Our world is a lot 

more connected than it used to be. Especially 

for our younger people and people 

involved in online worlds. Some of their 

closest friends are people they have never 

met before or in-person. Sometimes this 

can be a one-off, but typically not. Usually,

Pedestrian tunnel, other Hwy. 109 

improvements see completion 



I NEWS I 13 


A new pedestrian tunnel allowing 

walkers, joggers, bicyclists, dog-walkers 

and families to cross safely under Hwy. 

109 [Route 109] is the most recent component 

of the city’s ongoing Route 109 

Improvement Project to see completion. 

The tunnel is located between the two 

gas stations near the eastbound Hwy. 100 

ramps and connects to the city’s existing 

Wildwood Greenway trail network. 

This connection will allow walkers and 

bicyclists to travel safely from east to 

west or vice versa, accessing hiking and 

walking paths on both sides of Hwy. 109. 

While the tunnel has been completed, it 

remains closed while construction of 

other improvement projects continue in 

the same area. 

The Route 109 Improvement Project is 

an ongoing collaboration between Wildwood 

and Missouri Department of Transportation 

[MoDOT] to help improve the 

overall traffic flow along the portion of 

Hwy. 109 between Hwy. 100 and Clayton 

Road. 

Some of the project’s other updates 

have included: 

• The widening of Hwy. 109 to four 

lanes [two in each direction]. 

• Construction of a roundabout at the 

north intersection of Hwy. 109 with Hwy. 

100. 

• Construction of a roundabout at the 

intersection of Hwy. 109 with Pond-Grover 

Loop Road. 

• The westward expansion of Pond- 

Grover Loop Road, which now serves 

as a vehicular access point to the city’s 

Community Park. 

In addition to serving as a gateway for 

the walking path, the new tunnel also 

includes lighting for added safety. 

Another recent project update is 

asphalt paving at the most-recently 

developed roundabout located at Hwy. 

109 and Main Street Crossing. This 

update included pouring concrete for the 

sidewalk that runs parallel to the roadway 

and connects to the city’s greenway 

trail system and the recently finished 

pedestrian tunnel. 

The city of Wildwood originally 

passed the ordinance executing a Cost 

Share Apportionment agreement by and 

between the city and the Missouri Highways 

and Transportation Commission 

for Hwy. 109’s widening and roundabout 

installation in September 2018. 

According to council member Joe Garritano 

[Ward 8], the Route 109 Improvements 

Project is on-schedule and slated 

for total completion by May 21. 

“It’s going to look amazing,” Garritano 

said. “I love stuff like this because it’s an 

investment in our community.”

By BONNIE KRUEGER 

The status of summer events was center 

stage during resolutions made at the 

regular Manchester Board of Aldermen 

video conferencing meeting on May 4. 

At the heart of the decision was economic 

viability for the city, protecting 

city staff and adhering to Gov. Mike 

Parson’s plans to launch the statewide 

recovery plan designed to jumpstart the 

local economy, provide aid to local businesses 

and inspire jurisdictions to transition 

back into a normal routine. 

By a vote of 3-2, with alderman 

Marilyn Ottenad [Ward 2] absent, the 

board voted to keep the Manchester 

Aquatic Center in Paul A. Schroeder 

Park closed for the 2020 swim season, 

which includes access for the Manchester 

Stingrays Swim Team, swim lessons and 

all aquatic related special events. The 

aquatic center is an amenity that runs at a 

deficit of about $47,000 per summer. The 

closure of the aquatic facility will save 

the city between $70,000 and $100,000, 

according to city officials. 

“We’re making these hard decisions in 

response to a virus-caused shortfall of 

$1 million in our general operating fund. 

More cuts will come. I want to be clear: 

my goal, at this time, is to save jobs and 

salaries. Manchester has a superb staff 

and we have always kept it lean,” Mayor 

Mike Clement said. 

Other programs that were canceled 

by a vote of 5-0 include Movies in the 

Park, the annual summer concert series, 

and the Manchester Community Band’s 

concerts. Manchester Parks, Recreation 

and Arts Director Kat Schien explained 

that while there is a financial component 

to these events, the primary concern is 

maintaining social distancing requirements 

as set by the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention, state and county 

guidelines. 

Another resolution passed by a measure 

of 4-0 to cancel Independence Day 

events. ARC Pyrotechnics, Inc. already 

had been paid $19,200 for the fireworks 

display on July 4. In order not to incur a 

10% loss by having the money refunded, 

ARC will hold the money in escrow to 

be used later this year or during summer 

2021. 

One popular event that was canceled 

prior to the board meeting was the city’s 

annual Tons of Trucks event, which had 

been scheduled for July 30. 

A resolution to cancel this year’s Manchester 

Homecoming event held each 

September was not read. It was decided 

@WESTNEWSMAG 


City staffing, safety at heart of 

Manchester’s summer closure decisions 

that it was too soon to make a decision 

and to revisit that item at a later meeting. 

No vote was taken. 

The final resolution recommended the 

operation of the summer camp programs, 

including Manchester Day Camp and other 

special camps, such as its Harry Potter and 

sports camps. The resolution passed 5-0. 

“We feel that we can provide a safe and 

fun environment while abiding by all city, 

county and state guidelines,” Schien said 

at the meeting. “This is profit positive, 

which means it brings in revenue to our 

city and provides employment to area 

youths.” Typically, the two-week day 

camp sessions average about 60 children. 

“We can modify the camps so each 

group of 20 children has its own pavilion 

and there is no intermingling within 

groups. All safety and precaution measures 

will be taken,” Schien said. This 

will include creative pick-up and drop 

off procedures. 

While the aldermanic meeting 

addressed only summer camps for children, 

Schien said the city is working on 

amending in-person adult classes such as 

fitness and strength classes to allow for 

social distancing. The city is optimistic 

about holding a variation of its popular 

Snores & S’mores family camping event, 

with social distancing in place. 

“This is an awful situation and we are 

really trying our best,” she said. As previously 

reported by West Newsmagazine, 

the city is providing alternative events 

to stay connected. From May 11-22, 

the city will host an interactive event 

called Manchesteropoly. Participating 

businesses will place monopoly squares 

in their windows. Participants can then 

drive around and collect the pieces to fill 

up their monopoly board for the chance 

to win prizes. 

The event’s format was previously 

utilized for one of Manchester’s Easter 

egg hunts, which saw the participation of 

over 400 local families. 

The city has postponed the 2020 Craft 

Beer Festival to July 11 at Paul A. Schroeder 

Park. The event still plans to offer 

music, food and samplings of beer from 

local craft breweries. 

Clement acknowledged that residents 

undoubtedly will be disappointed. 

“While it will make me sad to see a 

closed pool and no concerts this summer, 

I think we can all go a year without concerts 

or an open pool, provided their 

closure means something,” Clement said. 

“For me, such closures will help maintain 

the jobs of city staff, and I believe our 

residents will support that effort.”



By CATHY LENNY 

With the uncertainty surrounding 

the ongoing state of the 

COVID-19 pandemic, the city of 

Chesterfield will take the unprecedented 

step of not opening the 

Family Aquatic Center in Central 

Park for the 2020 season and canceling 

its annual Independence 

Day celebration. 

At the virtual City Council meeting 

on May 4, City Administrator 

Mike Geisel explained that the 

operational deficit of the Aquatic 

Center is usually $200,000 to 

$250,000 each year and this 

year, the pool needs an additional 

$40,000 in repairs. He added that operating 

the pool would be for a shortened season at 

best and put the public at risk. 

Tom McCarthy, director of parks and recreation, 

explained that two to four weeks 

would be required to get the pool ready 

and train the lifeguards. He noted that June 

is normally the Aquatic Center’s busiest 

month. Other cities, including Ellisville, 

Wentzville, Florissant and St. Peters have 

already announced their pool closings, he 

told the council. 

But council member Tom DeCampi 

[Ward 4] was completely opposed to the 

idea. He said he believes it would cause 

resentment from residents. 

“It’s the centerpiece of our parks system,” 

he said. “People paid money for this.” 

While Mayor Bob Nation said it was a 

“tough thing to do,” he recommended not 

opening the pool. He said his decision was 

influenced by the lack of a vaccine and a 

possible surge in cases. 

The council generally agreed and voted 

5-3 to not open the pool. Council members 

Barb McGuinness [Ward 1], 

Mary Monachella [Ward 1], 

Mary Ann Mastorakos [Ward 

2], Dan Hurt [Ward 3] and 

Michael Moore [Ward 3] voted 

in favor. Council members Ben 

Keathley [Ward 2], Michelle 

Ohley [Ward 4] and DeCampi 

were opposed. 

Regarding the Independence 

Day celebration, Geisel said it 

would be difficult to have food 

trucks, a children’s play area 

and a fireworks display yet 

retain social distancing. Eliminating 

the event would save 

the city $75,000. 

DeCampi wanted to postpone 

the decision and made a motion to do 

so, which was defeated. 

Hurt said that he trusted the staff’s decisions, 

noting that the city already had to 

implement wage freezes, layoffs and furloughs 

for employees to offset revenue lost 

as a result of the COVID-19 precautions. 

DeCampi pointed out that the fireworks 

display could be viewed throughout the 

city and that people wouldn’t have to “pack 

in like sardines.” 

“More than ever, we need this,” he said.

Chesterfield cancels swim season, fireworks amid COVID-19, financial concerns

Keathley added that fireworks are synonymous 

with independence and that the 

city could still have the fireworks display. 

But the motion to cancel the event was 

approved 5-3 with the same vote as the 

pool closing. 

Following the Independence Day celebration 

vote, DiCampi made a motion, seconded 

by Ben Keathley, suggesting a 10% 

pay cut for staff for one quarter, excluding 

the police department which already initiated 

a voluntary pay cut. He also advocated 

for a pay suspension for elected officials 

for the rest of the year, which he estimated 

would save about $32,000. 

McGuinness pressed him on his figures 

and asked why he wasn’t more prepared 

with his recommendation. 

Nation called it nothing more than a 

“political ploy” and accused him of “political 

grandstanding.” 

Only DeCampi and Keathley voted in 

favor of the suggestion. 

In a memo to the mayor and city council 

regarding financial projections during 

the stay-at-home order, Geisel wrote that 

the 60-day and 90-day projected losses of 

sales tax revenues, utility and other taxes, 

are estimated at $6.1 million and $7.6 million, 

respectively.

Local first responders honor WWII veteran with birthday parade 

By KATE UPTERGROVE 

On his 99th birthday, Wildwood resident 

Lt. Col. Bud Jones, Army Air Corps, 

retired, was in for a surprise. His daughter, 

Pat, had encouraged him to sit outside and 

visit with his grandchildren. 

After a little while, Pat said, “You 

remember Kelly from the Honor Flight?” 

Bud said, “yes” and Pat continued, “Well, 

Kelly and I have a little surprise for you.” 

Moments later, Bud heard sirens and 

asked, “What’s going on? What is all that 

commotion?” Pat told him, “Wait and see.” 

The commotion was a birthday parade 

led by Kelly Witternauer, charity liaison for 

for USA Mortgage’s DAS Gives program.

birthday parade.

Joining her were representatives from the 

Missouri State Highway Patrol, Ellisville 

Police Department, Ballwin Police Department, 

Wildwood Police Department and 

the Greater St. Louis Honor Flight. 

“Metro West FPD was also in on the 

planning but they got a call – a house fire 

in Ballwin – just before the parade so they 

had to miss it,” Wittenauer said. 

Jones, who retired as a major from Troop 

F after 30 years of service to the Missouri 

Highway Patrol, particularly enjoyed 

seeing his fellow first responders. 

“He is an incredible man,” said Wittenauer, 

who met Bud and Pat when she sat 

next to them on an Honor Flight in March 

2019. “Basically, this man’s entire life has 

been dedicated to our country 

and local community!” 

According to Wittenauer, 

Jones flew 117 combat missions 

during his years in 

the Army Air Corps. He has 

two Distinguished Flying 

Crosses, four Air Medals 

and was awarded the French 

Legion of Honor. 

He has some incredible 

stories from his years of service 

to the country and state, 

Maj. Bud Jones, retired, with members of the Missouri Highway Patrol Troup C. 

[Source: Kelly Wittenauer/USA Mortgage] 

Wittenauer said. 

“He was one of the first fighter pilots to 

fly P-47s in WWII and he can remember 

every detail about how he landed his airplane 

after enemy anti-aircraft rounds hit 

his oil line and covered his canopy in oil 

except for a quarter-sized hole in his windshield,” 

Wittenauer shared. 

“He said he landed the plane by the seat 

of his pants,” Pat added. 

As a state highway patrolman, Jones had 

a run in with two escaped prisoners who 

shot a .22 caliber bullet into his Highway 

Patrol car windshield. That bullet split in 

two and hit him on his seat belt. It was the 

second time, he survived a bullet through 

a windshield. 

“They should call him the Windshield 

King!” Wittenauer exclaimed. 

“Just don’t call him a hero,” Pat shared. 

“He doesn’t see himself as a hero. He was 

just a man doing his job.” 

So thanks, Bud, for a job well done – and 

Happy Birthday!

COVID-19 impacts Ballwin’s 

recreation, events, finances 

By JEFFRY GREENBERG 

Like countless get-togethers over the 

past several weeks, the May 11 Ballwin 

Board of Aldermen meeting was solely 

available for viewing through Zoom video 

conferencing. 

Modern technology aside, the first half 

of the meeting was representative of how 

the city has conducted its business over the 

long-term. It was audit presentation time. 

Rich Gratza and Allison Weems, of the 

accounting firm Kerber, 

Eck and Braeckel, took 

turns praising Ballwin 

and its finance committee, 

led by Finance Officer 

Denise Keller. Their 

major points reflected 

Ballwin’s continued 

progress in multiple areas 

while maintaining balance 

sheets in which expenditures 

are consistently 

exceeded by revenues. 

Due to COVID-19, 

Ballwin is set to be even 

more stringent in its 

spending in the last half 

of 2020 while balancing 

health concerns with 

future fun. 

In answer to emailed questions after the 

meeting, Keller provided a wide variety of 

updates. 

“Concerning upcoming events, we 

have canceled our Ballwin Days Festival 

and our Memorial Day program,” Keller 

replied. “We are working on plans to 

schedule an event in the fall that has some 

of the elements of Ballwin Days, but on a 

smaller scale. Our Summer Concert Series 

has been pushed back to the fall as well. 

We anticipate still holding our Craft Beer 

Festival in September, but with modifications. 

New events we are adding include a 

Celebrate Summer Drive-Thru Parade and 

a Virtual 5K Run.” 

Keller also said the city will consult 

more with St. Louis County before deciding 

when to reopen The Pointe at Ballwin 

Commons Recreation Center, North Pointe 

Aquatic Center and its summer camp programs. 

Each of those opportunities also 

will include modifications. 

Increases in the admission fees/membership 

rates were decided upon several 

months ago to help offset some of the mandated 

minimum wage increases the city 

expected to incur as a result of primarily 

summertime employment. Since they have 

already been implemented, Keller said the 

city would take a wait and see approach for 

The Pointe at Ballwin Commons 

[File Photo] 

any potential fee adjustments based on factors 

such as when venues might open and 

what allowable capacities will be. 

“The city is reducing costs when and 

where we can to offset the revenue shortfalls 

we are experiencing from our closed 

recreation facilities and the anticipated 

reductions in sales tax receipts,” Keller 

said. “We have a strong reserve fund balance 

which is enabling us to maintain our 

full-time staffing level, although we have 

implemented a hiring freeze for full-time 

positions.” 

A few other COVID- 

19 related items were 

revealed at the board 

meeting. 

A motion was passed 

unanimously for Ballwin 

to go to what Mayor 

Tim Pogue described as 

a ‘summer schedule’ for 

near future board meetings. 

The first meeting 

of the month will be canceled 

in June, July and 

August, with meetings 

taking place only on the 

fourth Monday in those 

months. 

“Hopefully, we’ll be 

able to hold those meetings in person with 

social distancing instead of these Zoom 

meetings,” Pogue said. 

Another item that was unanimously agreed 

upon was the extension of the end date for 

long-time City Administrator Bob Kuntz’s 

final term of office from May 31 to June 30. 

Keller said the board was in the process 

of interviewing candidates for the position 

so Kuntz could retire, again. Interviews are 

currently being conducted through Zoom, 

but finalists will be interviewed in person 

after restrictions have been relaxed, she said. 

Ironically, Kuntz was in the limelight 

just prior to the board meeting’s adjournment. 

“Thanks to Mr. Conway [director of parks 

and recreation], I have very attractive city 

of Ballwin face masks for each one of you. 

They are personally engraved, so you won’t 

confuse them with others. If you go to any 

official function, you have your official city 

of Ballwin face mask,” Kuntz said. “I can 

arrange to get them to any of you. They are 

very attractive for this situation!” 

At the request of Keller, Kuntz even 

modeled one of the dark blue items with 

white lettering. 

Curbside & Garage Pick-up Available 

“I’ll be here first thing in the morning,” 

Alderman Mark Stallman [Ward 2] said, 

noting when he would arrive to pick up his 

mask.

POWERplex to host unique 

graduation opportunity 

By BONNIE KRUEGER 

High school seniors dream of walking 

across the stage to receive their diplomas 

and collectively throw their caps in the air 

in celebration. 

Thanks to an innovative approach during 

the COVID-19 pandemic, doing so will 

be a reality for 2,700 students this spring, 

including 1,793 seniors from Marquette, 

Eureka, Rockwood Summit and Lafayette 

and 85 St. Charles County Home Schools 

Association seniors. 

The creative team at the POWERplex 

will transform the former site of St. Louis 

Mills Mall, in Hazelwood, into a graduation 

venue. 

Between May 29 and June 10, area high 

school seniors will be able to walk across 

a stage and receive their diplomas while 

family members watch on Jumbotrons 

from the safety of their cars. 

That’s right – it’s a graduation drive-in. 

“POWERplex was hearing senior and 

parent concerns and frustrations facing 

graduations. Most schools were delaying 

graduation for July or August,” explained 

Dan Buck, managing partner of Big Sports 

Properties and president of POWERplex. 

“We felt compelled to give them a traditional 

graduation since they’ve already lost 

so much. 

“Once we envisioned the event, audio, 

staging, video, rental and security companies 

collectively came together affordably 

to make something special for the class 

of 2020. The joined forces will create the 

largest drive-in graduation ceremonies ever 

held.” 

Those forces include Schnucks Markets, 

U.S. Bank and more than a dozen area local 

live event companies, including Fogarty 

Services, Klance Unlimited, Brought 2U 

Media, MVP Security and Valet, and Big 

Sports Properties. 

Bill Fogarty, president of Fogarty Services 

of Arnold, said, “When the creative 

minds at the POWERplex came to us with 

this idea to build a huge drive-in graduation 

with video trucks, Jumbotrons and 

livestreaming, along with food trucks 

offering curbside delivery to parents and 

family members, we said, ‘Count us in.’” 

In addition to Rockwood and the Homeschool 

Association, participating schools 

include those in the Ferguson-Florissant 

School District and North County Christian. 

As of press time, POWERplex was in 

discussion with a number of other schools. 

Organizers have worked closely with 

the St. Louis County Department of Public 

Health to meet all the social distancing 

requirements while at POWERplex, the 

site of a soon-to-be premier youth sports 

venue. Students will be escorted to assigned 

pods on the 1.5 million-square-foot mall to 

maintain social distancing. While on the 

AstroTurf field for the 

ceremony, students also 

will maintain social distancing. 

Guests will view 

graduation on two 

30-foot Jumbotrons and 

two 16-foot side video 

trucks. Audio broadcasting 

will be through 

an FM tuner and 

high-definition sound

microphone, allowing 

families to listen on their 

car radios. For extended 

family not able to attend 

in person, livestreaming 

will be available at 

a nominal fee. Professional photographers, 

videographers and drone services will capture 

the event for families. 

Superintendent Dr. Mark Miles said 

Rockwood moved forward with this graduation 

plan to serve the best interests of students, 

parents and staff. 

“We want to provide some certainty 

within uncertainty,” Miles said. “We also 

recognized that as we go into June and July 

many seniors are going to college, entering 

careers or the military. It will be challenging 

to gather the students to celebrate.” 

Acknowledging that seniors have given 

up a lot of traditions in the final phase of 

their senior year, graduation was not a 

sacrifice Miles or the Rockwood Board 

of Education was willing to make. It’s a 

decision that Lafayette senior parent Sue 

Robeson appreciates. Serving as the senior 

celebration chair, Robeson understands the

Mayor: Niles Stephens 

1. My priorities are strict adherence to 

the zoning rules because residents don’t 

want to be surprised by zoning allowances 

that affect their property values, commute 

times or quality of life. Conservative stewardship 

of residents’ tax dollars because 

our budget is our biggest responsibility. A 

first-class green space in the Town Center 

as a permanent home for concerts and 

community events because residents want 

a place to relax and unwind and it will help 

support our local businesses. 

2. My commitment and dedication to 

serving others make me the best choice 

to serve as mayor for the next four years. 

Municipal government is in the business of 

serving its constituents, and I will focus on 

putting residents’ interests first. I am committed 

to giving residents timely responses, 

providing comprehensive information and 

following up on resident requests. My 

leadership style is all about adding value

On May 9, Dance Inc., 15933 Manchester

Little princesses were invited to register

– a.k.a. Disney Princesses. Each child 

was greeted upon entry to the Dance Inc.

The princesses, big and small, had a ball. 

‘Teaching in Room 9’ 

What do the Nine Network and the Rockwood 

School District have in common? 

English/language arts instructional 

coach Kristen Forth. 

For Rockwood, Forth coaches kindergarten 

through second-grade teachers. For 

the Nine Network, she is recording video 

reading lessons for children all over St. 

Louis. 

Twelve area teachers are creating educational 

video segments for “Teaching in 

Room 9,” which debuted on May 4. 

The half-hour segments are shown 

from 12:30-2:30 p.m. each Monday 

through Thursday. They are broken up 

into four categories: reading and math 

for pre-kindergarten through first grade 

and the same topics for second through 

fourth grade. 

Forth is teaching pre-kindergarten 

through first grade reading. 

“It serves children in the community 

who don’t have internet access or reliable 

devices,” Forth said. “Everybody can get 

Channel 9 on the television. I love knowing 

that we’re reaching learners and students 

who maybe don’t otherwise have 

access to getting the education that they 

deserve.” 

Marquette mask maker 

When Marquette High junior Sri Rajan 

heard her mother talking about the shortage 

of face masks for patients and health 

care workers, she wanted to find a way to 

help. 

For the past month, Rajan has been 

making masks. So far she has donated 

45 blue and orange face masks to Chemo 

Buddies and 10 to local healthcare workers. 

Additionally, she handcrafted 30 face 

masks to be used at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital 

in O’Fallon, Illinois. 

“I started the project during spring break 

and was able to spend a lot of time buying 

Sri Rajan with masks she has made to donate. 

[Source: Rockwood School District] 

supplies, finding the requirements and 

organizing donations,” Rajan said. “My 

younger brother helps with cutting the 

material, organizing them and sewing the 

masks as well.” 

She sews in the evenings for about an 

hour a day, using the skill her grandmother 

taught her. 

“I have always enjoyed volunteering and 

since we are all quarantining at home, this 

was the best way for me to continue serving,” 

she said. 

Parkway students honored 

as scholars 

Six Parkway high school students were 

selected for the 2020 Missouri Scholars 

100 list, a statewide program that honors 

100 of Missouri’s top academic students in 

the graduating class of 2020. 

The Parkway students are Balaji Vijayakumar 

and Mary Xu, of Parkway Central; 

Matthew Christofferson and Veronica Sorg, 

of Parkway South; Ronik Bhaskar and 

Dawson Ren, of Parkway West 

Each student nominated had to meet criteria 

of an “Academic Decathlon,” which 

included 10 “events” designed to assure 

the academic strength of the student. To 

meet the decathlon requirements, the student 

must have a minimum GPA of 3.750, 

a minimum ACT score of 29 or a minimum 

SAT score of 1,900, be ranked in the upper 

10% of the class, and have taken upperlevel 

courses in mathematics, science, 

English and foreign language. 

Dynamic Duo: Local girls turn hobby into hope 

By KATE UPTERGROVE 

Quinn McFarlane and her friend Toni 

Keeven like making bracelets for fun. But 

in the past, time was limited. School, dance, 

Girl Scouts and soccer filled up much of 

the girl’s free time. Then, came COVID-19. 

Activities for the second-grade friends 

came to a halt but an idea took root. They 

were making a lot of bracelets, so what 

if they sold them and gave the money to 

charity. 

“We just wanted to help charities and 

make money for people who are sick right 

now,” Quinn said. “We like to give back.” 

When asked what charities the girls are 

helping, Quinn declared, “Cancer and 

coronavirus.” Her mom, Sara, explained. 

“We’re donating the proceeds of the 

bracelets right now to Rockwood Gives 

Back, it’s a program through our school 

district. They help a large number of 

people in the district but obviously right 

now fighting the coronavirus is the priority. 

Then, in addition to that, Quinn’s 

grandma has cancer … so we’ve decided 

to spread the hope to the Siteman Cancer 

Center where my mom gets treatments [by] 

making bracelets for the cancer patients as 

well,” Sara said. 

A dynamic duo, the girls have raised 

hundreds of dollars by making bracelets 

together while they’re apart. 

“Obviously, we can’t be by each other 

right now,” Quinn said. “But sometimes 

she [Toni] comes over and we sit apart in 

the yard and make bracelets. It helps us talk 

about our business.” 

It’s a business the girls dream of growing. 

“We really want an Etsy store,” Toni said. 

“And we would name it Midnight Moon.” 

Toni’s mom, Kelly, urged, “Tell her why.” 

“Because it was available and because 

there is always light in the darkness,” Toni 

said.

GRADUATION, from page 19 

disappointment surrounding graduation 

and the after-party for her daughter, Abby, 

and Abby’s fellow classmates. 

“I’m super happy with the POWERplex 

announcement. We are thrilled they came 

up with a creative solution to celebrate 

graduation,” Robeso said. “To know 100% 

that the graduation is happening and they 

get to walk, even if it feels different, is 

a big deal. This has been an exercise in 

adaptability.” 

Abby said the quarantine has had unexpected 

benefits, such as learning how to 

build her own schedule and time management, 

which will be a bonus for college. 

But it has not been an easy transition. 

“I’m very glad we get a graduation,” she 

said. “It would have been nice to have 

prom and senior night, but if we only have 

the option for one event, I think many of us 

would choose graduation. We are pleased 

for the opportunity to wear a cap and gown. 

“How many people can say they had a 

drive-in graduation ceremony?” 

Traditionally, Rockwood schools, and 

others around the region, hold after-graduation 

parties that last until the following 

morning. At these lock-ins, seniors are 

treated to gift bags and swag as well as 

a chance to win bigger prizes. This year, 

senior celebration plans are in flux, but 

that doesn’t mean the prizes and swag isn’t 

happening. 

The idea to hold a daily raffle began 

April 23. An announcement goes out daily 

at 20:20 military time from the senior celebration 

committee. A quick “best wishes” 

video precedes the raffle. Those were originally 

to take place in tandem with the party. 

“We didn’t want students to feel forgotten 

or left behind. They are still part of the 

community and we are continuing to support 

them,” Robeson shared. 

Miles said, “Not only are we doing this 

for our students, but for the educators 

themselves. It is going to be stressful planning 

for the new school year. It is nice to 

get the graduation done and behind them, 

so they can focus on going forward.” 

While many of the details are known, 

Buck shared, “There are special moments 

built-in that the kids won’t be expecting.” 

Miles and Robeson are grateful to Buck 

and all those involved. 

“We appreciate Dan’s efforts and his 

team for facilitating the process,” Miles 

said. “It will be a memory our graduates 

will cherish for a lifetime.” 

Parkway Schools has announced graduation 

plans for The Family Arena in St.

Jason Getz, in his second season leading 

the Priory Rebels, was named the Midstates 

Club Hockey Association’s coach of 

the year. 

Priory finished with a 19-5-2 record. The 

Rebels were seeded 10th in the Challenge 

Cup. 

Priory played well and advanced out of 

pool play. However, Vianney eliminated 

Priory from the Challenge Cup by sweeping 

the quarterfinal series before ultimately 

winning the championship. 

Despite the good season, Getz said he 

was surprised to be named as the coach of 

the year. 

“My coaching staff and I have been so 

focused on building our program that we 

did not know anyone outside of Priory was 

paying attention,” Getz said. “This is an 

award that is voted on by the coaches in the 

league so to be recognized in this way is very 

humbling and special. Just five years ago, we 

were a Founder’s Cup team and a very low 

seed at that. This year is the third year in a 

row we’ve competed in the Challenge Cup. 

“The award is not just mine but validation 

of the tireless work my assistant coaches have 

put in, my mentor and former head coach Jeff 

Smith in getting this program moving in the 

right direction, and the hard work our players 

have put in proving you don’t have to be full 

of AAA players to be successful.” 

Getz is proud of what the Rebels accomplished 

this past season. 

“We had an amazing season. We swept 

the Central Division and played well 

against top tier competition outside of our 

division,” Getz said. “In the round robin 

play of the tournament, we went 2-0-1 with 

victories against Francis Howell, the top 

team in the St. Charles Division, perennial 

power Kirkwood, and tied the defending 

state champs in SLUH. We felt we missed 

some opportunities against Vianney in the 

quarterfinals. 

“However, since they are state champs 

this year, we feel good about where we are 

as a program. Finishing seventh in the state 

is a new personal best for us and we’re 

hungry for more.” 

Getz made a point to thank his wife, 

Emily, “for all the single parenting required 

while I’m out late nights with hockey.” 

Other Midstates award recipients were 

Don Arias, Referee of the Year; Sean 

Hazelton, The Ray Harrison Award; Blake 

Boatright, Kriegshauser scholarship recipient;

St. Louis’ Jack Larrigan, a 5-foot-10, 

160-pound forward, was drafted this month 

by the Youngstown Phantoms of the United 

States Hockey League. 

Larrigan, who turned 16 on April 4, 

played for CBC as a freshman as well as the 

St. Louis AAA Blues. He played this past 

season with Shattuck St. Mary’s School, a 

U15 Midget team, in Faribault, Minnesota. 

He played in 46 games and scored 40 goals 

with 35 assists. 

Larrigan has committed to playing in 

college at Notre Dame in 2022. 

College basketball 

When Dashien Nix announced recently 

that he would skip a season at UCLA and 

instead sign on to the G-League’s new 

preps-to-pros initiative, he made headlines 

far beyond Los Angeles. 

According to the 247Sports Composite, 

Nix’s departure makes CBC graduate 

and North Carolina signee Caleb Love the 

highest-rated point guard entering college 

basketball this fall. Love, a 6-foot-3 native 

of St. Louis, signed with the University of 

North Carolina in November. He picked 

the Tar Heels over offers from Arizona, 

Indiana, Kansas and Missouri. 

Love also was contacted by a G-League 

representative. 

“But we’re committed to the college path 

and Caleb is very excited to start his career 

at North Carolina,” his father, Dennis, told 

Inside Carolina. “He’s really excited to get 

to Chapel Hill and play for Roy Williams 

as well as experience the Carolina family 

culture.” 

Love is among UNC’s six-man incoming 

freshman class that is rated No. 3 in the 

country.

Missouri women’s basketball freshmen 

Aijha Blackwell, who attended Whitfield, 

was named to the All-SEC freshman team. 

Blackwell became the eighth freshman in 

program history to average double figures. 

Blackwell led Mizzou in many statistical 

categories this past season, including 

points [437], points per game [15.1], 

rebounds [210], rebounds per game [7.2], 

assists [77] and free throws made [210]. 

Blackwell is one of three SEC players to be 

ranked in the top 10 in both scoring [15.1] 

and rebounding [7.2]. The Tiger freshman 

ranks fourth in scoring [17.9] and fifth in 

rebounding [8.8] during SEC play. 

Blackwell produced eight 20-point games 

and seven double-doubles. She put together 

one of the most prolific freshman seasons in 

program history. Among freshmen program 

records, she currently ranks second in free 

throws made [113], second in rebounding 

average [7.2], third in scoring [447], third 

in field goals made [146], fourth in scoring 

average [15.1], fourth in rebounds [210], fifth 

in three-pointers [32] and fifth in assists [77]. 

Basketball stars help food banks 

Chaminade graduates Jayson Tatum, of 

the Boston Celtics, and Bradley Beal, of 

the Washington Wizards, have partnered to 

donate $500,000 to St. Louis and Boston 

area food banks. 

Tatum made the announcement on Instagram, 

revealing an initiative with Feeding 

America and Lineage Logistics called 

“Share a Meal.” 

Tatum and Beal each pledged to match 

$250,000 in donations to the St. Louis Area 

Food Bank and Greater Boston Food Bank 

as the coronavirus pandemic threatens 

food security in both cities. 

Major League Baseball 

Andrea Hayden did not set out to be a 

trailblazer. It just worked out that way. 

Hayden, 32, a native of St. Charles 

County, is the first female strength and 

conditioning coach in the history of Major 

League Baseball. 

Last November, Hayden was hired as 

the Minnesota Twins’ assistant strength 

and conditioning coach. She is the first 

female to hold that job in MLB history. 

Hayden also became the first female 

coach in MLB. 

Although she is unique in being the first 

woman to hold a job like hers, Hayden does 

not think of herself as a pioneer in any way. 

“I get asked a lot what it is like working 

in a male-dominated industry,” Hayden 

said. “I kindly ask them: ‘Do you know the 

definition of dominate?’ [It’s] commanding, 

superior, overpowering … I do not 

work in an environment like that. I am not 

around men who behave that way. I work 

in a male-majority environment. There are 

just more of them than me. That’s it. 

“If I am to be a pioneer, it would be to 

spread this message - I want women to 

continue to feel like they have a seat at 

the table because they have taken pride in 

being great at their craft. I am thankful to 

have been around amazing men who have 

always made me feel valued and appreciated, 

never less than, or inferior because I 

am a female.”

CAPSULES 

By LISA RUSSELL 

Studies offer more 

insights into COVID-19 

Four months into the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic, 

a fast-growing amount of scientific 

research is now shedding light on many 

aspects of this often unpredictable disease. 

Recently released scientific data ranges 

from unusual symptoms of COVID-19 to 

potentially alarming details about serious 

risks for men compared to women. Following 

are summaries of a few of these studies, 

with more being released almost daily. 

• • • 

High blood pressure medication risk. 

Although many heart health experts have 

expressed major concerns about a relationship 

between taking certain drugs for high 

blood pressure and one’s risk of serious 

COVID-19 outcomes, such a link does not 

appear to exist, according to research published 

in the New England Journal of Medicine 

on May 1. The study of about 13,000 

patients found no connection between 

treatment with the four most common types 

of high blood pressure drugs and increased 

likelihood of a positive test for COVID- 

19. It also found no substantial increase in 

risk for more severe illness [intensive care 

hospital admission, use of a ventilator, or 

death] for people taking any of these drugs. 

“With nearly half of American adults 

having high blood pressure, and heart disease 

patients more vulnerable to COVID- 

19… our findings should reassure the 

medical community and patients about 

the continued use of these commonly 

prescribed medications, which prevent 

potentially severe heart events in their own 

right,” said lead investigator Harmony 

Reynolds, M.D. of NYU Langone Health. 

• • • 

Type 2 diabetes control. While a study 

reported in the journal Cell Metabolism 

does show that people with type 2 

diabetes are more susceptible to serious 

COVID-19 outcomes, it also includes 

some encouraging news: Those whose 

blood sugar is well-controlled have a better 

chance of survival, with fewer long-term 

complications. 

Chinese researchers looked at thousands 

of patients who were admitted to 19 

hospitals, a large percentage of them with 

pre-existing type 2 diabetes. Patients whose 

blood glucose was well-controlled were 

found to be significantly less likely to die; 

they also needed fewer medical interventions 

including supplemental oxygen and/ 

or ventilation, and had fewer complications. 

• • • 

Higher potential risks for men. A 

recent study in Frontiers in Public Health,

‘Not Your Normal’: Discussions of mental health ramp up during quarantine 

I 27 


When the impact of COVID-19 started 

to gain mainstream attention in early 2020, 

frontline workers were tasked with keeping 

the world turning while others were told to 

shelter-in-place for an indefinite amount of 

time. For some, this means hours of nonstop 

work or having to shelter in less-thanideal 

conditions. 

For others, the abrupt change in routine 

and the constant onslaught of fatality statistics 

is enough to turn a new situation into 

a distressing one. 

In response to the varying about of distress, 

the Saint Louis Mental Health Board 

[Saint Louis MHB] forged a partnership 

between United Way and Behavioral 

Health Response, a mental health service 

provider in Creve Coeur. For many years, 

United Way’s 211 helpline has been a free 

and confidential referral and information 

helpline that helps connect individuals of 

all ages to essential health resources in 

a variety of fields. However, when Saint 

Louis MHB introduced a collaborative element 

with the Behavioral Health Response 

team, the helpline became a hotline that 

combines experts in both the fields of 

mental health and social services. 

of contact,” Muhammad said. 

The goal of both systems is to provide 

guidance to those who are feeling overwhelmed 

by current events. According to 

Muhammad, the 211 hotline and its text 

counterpart differ from other similar services 

in that they are not solely crisis or 

emergency response lines. 

“You can call if you’re just feeling different 

and you’re not feeling like yourself, 

or you’re not sure what’s going on,” 

Muhammad said. “Maybe you’re anxious 

or you’re not sleeping well. Whatever is 

happening with you that you feel like is not 

your normal, you can call this line. 

“For some people, they just need someone 

to talk to and express things, and that’s 

all. Others may have a more serious need, 

and they would be connected to professional 

mental health sources. Even if you 

are in crisis and are suicidal, this same 

number can connect you to emergency 

response services. It really does run the 

gamut.” 

Muhammad said the hotline had seen a 

considerable spike in calls during the pandemic. 

“The important thing for people to realize 

is that this impacts everyone, so there is 

no individual that isn’t feeling something 

different as a result of having their whole 

life shift in the past few months,” Muhammad 

said. 

Other medical professionals have said

The hotline provides access to free, professional 

mental health resources for St. 

Louis-area individuals during the COVID- 

19 pandemic. The line is accessible by dialing 

211 and pressing 1. This will connect 

the caller with a medical health professional 

while the caller’s identity remains 

completely confidential. 

According to Serena Muhammad, director 

of Strategic Initiatives at Saint Louis 

MHB, there is also a separate text-based 

line available for youths who are feeling 

stressed. The service is available by texting 

BHEARD to 31658.

COMMUNITY CARE 

Post Holdings made a significant donation 

to Operation Food Search [OFS], 

a nonprofit hunger relief organization, 

for its COVID-19 Emergency Response 

Plan that provides free meal distribution 

to children and families who need food 

assistance. The donation funds emergency 

food packs that OFS creates for community 

partners including St. Louis Public Schools 

and St. Louis County Library branches. 

OFS currently distributes 

approximately 2,385 

bags per week to select 

school locations, as well 

as nearly 1,700 packs per 

week at various library and 

community centers. OFS 

started its Summer Food 

Service Program at the end 

of March to accommodate 

children while schools are 

out.

DYNAMIC DUO, from page 22 

After just a few weeks in business, the 

girls are certainly doing their part to bring 

light to the darkness. They have made more 

than 50 bracelets for charity, plus some for 

themselves and their moms and grandmas, 

of course. 

“If someone wants to order a bracelet, 

they can email my mom [sarabreeves@ 

gmail.com], and then we’ll bring the bracelet 

to their mailbox,” Quinn said. 

Sara explained that she and Quinn or 

Toni and Kelly reply with an email and 

some sample photos of styles that the girls 

have available. The customer also can customize 

the bracelet to some degree. 

“We have beads with letters on them so 

we can spell out their name or a word,” 

Toni said. “Quinn likes to put ‘love’ and 

‘hope’ in her bracelets.” 

To make their designs, Toni explained 

that they string the beads onto elastic with 

their fingers. The average bracelet is 7 

inches, but customers can order them larger 

or smaller as needed. 

Quinn McFarlane makes bracelets for charity.

@WESTNEWSMAG 


Toni Keeven shows off the bracelets she has 

made. 

How to make the bracelets, customize 

and deliver them are just a few of the skills 

the girls have learned. 

“I’ve also learned what profit means and 

what it costs to make the bracelet like for 

the string [elastic] and the beads,” Quinn 

said, adding that she’s learned about 

“supply and demand.” 

Perhaps a bit of time management as 

well. 

“Quinn and Toni have been asking to 

start a bead business for a long time but 

we obviously just didn’t have a lot of spare 

time to do it, so it’s kind of a win-win 

because they are able to do their fun hobby 

and give back to charity at the same time,” 

Sara said. 

Toni says giving back is the best part. 

“It makes me really happy,” Toni said 

about knowing that someone would be 

wearing a bracelet she made that enabled 

her to donate to charity. 

Talking about the feelings she wants her 

bracelets to invoke, especially now, Quinn 

added, “It’s really important to stay hopeful 

even when you’re really sad.”

MENTAL HEALTH, from page 27 

this increased interest in examining mental 

health resources coincides with an increasing 

number of individuals scheduling visits 

to explore remediation opportunities at 

home or starting the process of finding a 

therapist or psychologist. 

And adults are not the only ones asking 

for help. 

The impact of anxiety on kids 

After schools closed in April, students of 

all ages suddenly found themselves adapting 

to a new form of classroom learning, 

all while remaining socially isolated from 

friends and peers. 

According to Dr. Delene Musielak, 

dual-boarded internist and pediatrician 

at St. Luke’s Hospital, there has been an 

increase in both patients and parents of 

adolescents who have reached out during 

quarantine about mental health resources, 

therapists and psychologists. While some 

of these patients have a history of anxiety 

or depression, others do not. 

For young children, feelings of increased 

stress and anxiety can manifest through 

mood swings, irritability, acting out, crying, 

temper tantrums, complaints of not feeling 

well or self-initiated isolation. 

“We have to remember that most of our 

children have never been through a situation 

like this,” Musielak said in an email 

interview with West Newsmagazine. “It is 

all new to them.” 

Sometimes these feelings of distress can 

be so intense that children will experience 

them in forms of physical discomfort. This 

can include stomach pains, nausea, headaches 

and even vomiting. 

“As adults, we can even experience these 

symptoms,” Musielak said. 

As for mitigating stress levels for preteens 

who may already be experiencing 

changes in demeanor as a result of 

puberty or other factors, Musielak said 

that maintaining open channels of communication 

can help parents discern 

normal mood changes from more severe 

stress symptoms. 

“Allow your children to express their 

feelings and emotions about the current 

situation freely,” Musielak said. “Do not 

undermine their feelings and sensitivity. 

Communication is key. When puberty hits, 

most kids don’t want to talk about it. That’s 

why it is important to establish a good relationship 

even before that time. Your child 

will be more approachable and not think that 

you’re just trying to get into their business.” 

This open dialogue can also help parents 

make sure their own stress levels remain in 

check and that their concerns or anxieties 

are not being transferred to their children 

or teens. 

“Another important aspect is leading by 

example,” Musielak said. “If you are a 

worrywart and anxious about the current 

situation, your children will sense that. As 

a result, those emotions can transfer to your 

children. The current pandemic does make 

most people worried. It’s normal, but you 

don’t want that anxiety to start affecting 

your quality of life and happiness, because 

then it will affect your children’s quality of 

life.” 

For teenagers, signs of intense anxiety 

may manifest in the form of mood swings, 

irritation, crying, isolation, complaints of 

pain or even a decrease in performance in 

academic or extracurricular activities. This 

is also a time where individuals may turn to 

outlets such as drugs or alcohol. 

“Do not ignore warning signs,” Musielak 

said. “If you feel that your child is 

depressed, anxious or stressed, please seek 

the appropriate help. Even though a lot of 

facilities have limited in-person visits, telemedicine 

visits through video or by telephone 

are available. Early intervention is 

always better!” 

For every age group, including adults, 

one of the best ways to facilitate a sense 

of normalcy during turbulent times is to 

find a routine and stick to it. These include 

dedicated mealtimes, sleep schedules and a 

balanced amount of chores or assignments 

per day. 

“Keep a good balance,” Musielak said. 

“Life gets difficult when it’s skewed.” 

Personal mental health check-ups 

According to Muhammad, there are multiple 

measures individuals of all ages can 

take at home to help minimize stress. 

“The first thing you should try to do, if 

you can do it safely, is get out in nature,” 

Muhammad said. 

She also recommends people try to be 

more cognizant of any emotional patterns, 

especially negative ones. Individuals of all 

ages, especially those in complete isolation, 

should also find ways to reach out to 

loved ones via phone or video-conferencing 

applications for safe human contact. 

“Figuring out if you can carve out a few 

minutes a day to chat with that person 

over the phone is a good way to keep your 

mental health intact,” Muhammad said. 

“Finally, if you’ve done all those things and 

you still feel overwhelmed, we really suggest 

that you call 211 and tell them what’s 

going on and see what kind of support they 

can offer. 

“We don’t talk about mental health 

enough in our culture, and this pandemic 

has really given us the opportunity to all be 

mental health advocates. It’s one thing to 

read about what’s it’s like to feel anxious or 

depressed, but it’s another thing to experience 

it.”

ONLINE SAFETY, from page 12 

they’ve met online before.” 

Due to the fact that many of these 

cases are the result of heated online 

discourse, according to Stephens, 

one of the best ways for individuals 

to stay safe online is to avoid negative 

confrontations and remain as 

anonymous as possible. Sometimes, 

this includes extra security steps to 

secure your information from various 

websites and even from internet 

providers. 

“Always be cautious of what 

information you are giving to your 

providers and that, if you want to 

remain anonymous, you can do it 

as best as possible,” Stephens said. “The 

other potential solution to this is just not 

to start fights online or engage in any situations 

that could potentially escalate from 

there.” 

Discussions about cybersecurity and 

data protection have been at the forefront 

for many individuals, businesses and organizations 

as employees have been tasked 

with working and potentially handling 

confidential information from their homes 

during the quarantine. 

Cybersecurity while working, learning 

from home 

According to the Federal Bureau 

of Investigation [FBI], an anticipated 

increase in fraud schemes related to 

COVID-19 was anticipated back in mid- 

April. These types of schemes run the 

gamut from blackmail attempts to workat-home 

schemes that target unsuspecting 

individuals through fictitious phone 

calls or emails that solicit information or 

spread malware through suspicious links 

or infected downloadable files. 

According to Jeff Minnis, 

owner of Jeff Computers in Manchester, 

more individuals have 

reported cybersecurity breaches 

and scams related to COVID-19 

during the quarantine. 

“Right now, there’s a lot more 

usage and there are also a lot of 

people working from home, and 

so they’re a little more vulnerable 

to social engineering and 

those types of things,” Minnis 

said. 

While some scams target individuals, 

others have attacked 

larger companies. This is due to 

the fact that more corporations’ 

networks have become vulnerable due to 

increased out-of-office communications. 

According to Minnis, VPNs [virtual private 

networks] are being implemented by 

individuals looking to keep their data private 

while working in public settings. Twofactor 

authentication can also help prevent 

hackers from breaking into accounts. 

Whether it’s through online gaming or 

working from home, online vulnerabilities 

could potentially lead to issues like the previously 

mentioned backtracing, hacking or 


the infection of a personal computer with 

malware. The latter group includes debilitating 

programs like ransomware, a type of 

malicious virus that encrypts all the information 

on a personal computer and locks 

the encryption key behind a paywall that’s 

only lifted if a victim sends money, usually 

bitcoin or another form of cryptocurrency, 

to the attacker. 

According to the FBI, many traditional 

money laundering schemes have now been 

optimized due to the growing popularity of 

cryptocurrency kiosks across the internet. 

It should be known that legitimate charities, 

investment platforms and e-commerce 

sites do not typically accept or pressure 

individuals to submit payments or donations 

in the form of cryptocurrency. 

When it comes to combating scammers 

or fraudsters, Minnis said the biggest safeguard 

is verifying the legitimacy of any 

phone calls or emails upfront. 

“The best way to do that is to just 

research the proper phone numbers, email 

addresses or contacts, and not trust the 

information you receive from a phone call, 

an email or something that just pops up on 

your screen,” Minnis said. “A lot of times 

people end up calling that number on the 

screen, and that’s not a good idea.”
