I OPINION I 3 

Walter E. Williams 

Let’s not waste a crisis 

TREE SERVICE 

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.

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 COVID-19 

From Wikipedia: “A pandemic is an 

epidemic of disease that has spread across 

a large region, for instance multiple continents 

or worldwide, affecting a substantial 

number of people. A widespread endemic 

disease with a stable number of infected 

people is not a pandemic.” 

Time and data will tell us whether the 

current, so-called pandemic of 2020 will 

need to be re-classified. 

The COVID-19 illness and nonstop 

media amplification have caused fears of 

an overwhelming public health crisis; specifically, 

that our health care infrastructure 

might not be able to handle a large number 

of critically-ill patients. Based on that fear, 

and with little statistical data to guide them, 

federal, state, county and city officials have 

broadly demanded business and public 

space closures, and issued “stay-apart,” 

“shut-down” and “stay-at-home” orders. 

Some police departments have attempted 

to enforce these orders with actions typically 

associated with totalitarian regimes. 

The result has been the collapse of 

the U.S. economy. And, if that’s not bad 

enough, the orders were made without considering 

constitutions. For example, a state 

governor telling the public that they cannot 

gather for religious services is a violation 

of the First Amendment of the Constitution 

of the United States. Obviously, no thought 

was given to upholding the Constitution 

when many state governors became drunk 

with power and quickly wrote their orders. 

When politicians become deluded, thinking 

they have all power over the people, 

and they act with complete disregard for 

constitutions, it is up to the citizens to prevent 

that from happening in the future. For 

now there is hope, while constitutions can 

still be amended and politicians can still be 

replaced at the ballot box. 

Jeff Randolph 

Leadership by example 

It’s time to reopen our economy, but at the 

same time we need to ensure that we keep our 

citizens safe. These two things are not mutually 

exclusive. We can do both. But it will take 

leadership including leadership by example. 

President Donald Trump and Vice President 

Mike Pence need to follow the White House 

coronavirus task force guidelines which 

include social distancing and the wearing 

of face masks. So far they are not following 

these guidelines, which gives the impression 

that they think it’s macho or even patriotic 

to not comply. If they won’t do it, then rest 

assured their core supporters won’t do it either. 

Unless Trump and Pence observe the 

rules and make it crystal clear that they 

expect their base to do the same, then 

opening up the economy will cause a surge 

in new coronavirus cases and we will not 

get the pandemic under control in the 

United States this year. That will ensure 

that Trump is a one-term president. 

John Wade 

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.

Some areas within the city, including the 

playground at City Hall Park, remained 

closed at press time in the interest of preserving 

public health. However, other city

are followed. Dardenne Prairie City Hall 

remains staffed and open, although social 

distancing mandates are being enforced. 

O’FALLON 

from the O’Fallon City Charter and 

voter information from the St. Charles 

County Election Authority. 

Sections 9.3 and 9.9 of the city charter 

cover recall elections and stipulate that a 

ward-level recall petition requires the signatures 

of at least 20% of the total number 

of voters voting in the last election for 

that office. Per the Election Authority, 764 

Ward 4 voters voted in April 2019, equating 

to 6.7% of registered voters. Of those, 

479 [62.7%] voted for Ottomeyer. 

For the recall petition, the calculation 

would be 20% of the total 764, or 153 signatures 

needed. However, the charter also 

sets a minimum of 350 signatures required 

for a ward-level recall petition. That 

means the petition for Ottomeyer would be 

required to have a minimum of 350 signatures 

of qualified, registered voters. 

Regarding a potential date for a recall 

vote, if a sufficient number of signatures 

is obtained, O’Fallon Communications 

Director Tom Drabelle said: “It is not going 

to be June 2. When the state moved the 

April 7 Municipal Election date because of 

COVID-19 risks and restrictions, they specifically 

locked the ballots. That means the 

ballot from the April 7 Municipal Election 

is the ballot for June 2. The earliest a recall 

vote could be is August.” 

On May 6, Israel said he and the committee 

“have begun the process of obtaining 

signatures, with a goal of being on the 

ballot for the election on Nov. 3, 2020.” 

Planning & Zoning Commission meetings 

for May and June will be held at the St. 

Peters Justice Center, 1020 Grand Teton 

Drive, to accommodate public attendance 

and social distancing. The meetings regularly 

are held in the Council Chambers of 

the County Executive Building [Historic 

Courthouse] on Third Street in St. Charles. 

Residents wishing to attend the public 

meetings will be required to complete a 

health screening upon entry and abide 

by social distancing guidelines. They are 

asked to wear a cloth face covering to the 

meeting. Entrance to the auditorium will 

be on a first come, first serve basis until 

capacity is reached and an overflow space 

is available in an adjacent room for watching 

the meeting virtually. 

Parking is available across Suemandy

Sts. Joachim and Ann Care Service hosted its 

inaugural Diaper Drive Thru in April and May. 

[Source: Sts. J&A] 

“Many of our families with young children 

are struggling to provide the most 

basic needs for their families. Diapers and 

wipes are expensive for our families, and 

we wanted to ease some of their burden,” 

said Pam Struckhoff, executive director 

at Sts. Joachim and Ann Care Service. “A 

drive thru service allowed these families 

to safely access needed diapers and wipes 

while practicing social distancing.” 

The Diaper Drive Thru, which was held 

in April and May, was open to the first 100 

families in each county to sign up. 

“Thank you to our Lincoln County partners 

Building Beyond, the Early Childhood 

Taskforce, Lincoln County Health Department, 

and the Warren County Health 

Department, NECAC and WIC for helping 

make this Diaper Drive Thru a reality in 

Lincoln and Warren counties. We could 

not have done this without the support of 

these agencies and local businesses like 

Mercy Lincoln County and the Bank of 

Old Monroe,” Struckhoff said. “We appreciate 

the support, and hope to continue this 

important event annually.” 

Donations of diapers and wipes are 

always needed to support fragile families 

in St. Charles, Lincoln and Warren counties. 

Donations can be dropped off at the 

Care Service in St. Charles located at 4116 

McClay Road, or visit the Care Service 

Wish List on Amazon. To make a cash 

donation, visit https://donorbox.org/jacares-donation. 

Great Rivers Greenway 

seeks public input 

Since August 2019, Great Rivers Greenway, 

St. Charles County and the municipalities 

within St. Charles County have 

been working together to develop a coordinated 

greenway plan for the county. 

The project is part of Great Rivers 

Greenway’s overall efforts to connect 

St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. 

Charles County with a network of greenways 

where people can walk, run and ride 

a bike. To date, 125 miles of greenways 

have been established. 

The new greenway plan will guide the 

next phase of the public agency’s sales tax 

investment in St. Charles County greenways. 

Project partners have gathered and 

analyzed feedback on where people want 

to connect to a greenway and what their 

priorities are for greenway experiences. 

The next phase of this planning process 

is to determine what the people 

who live, work and play in St. Charles 

County think about the proposed greenway 

routes. Residents can see all of the 

proposed routes and take a brief online 

survey at greenwayplan.org. 

Residents who want to provide feedback 

on the St. Charles Greenway Plan and are 

unable to access the project website can 

call (314) 609-9188 to give project feedback 

by phone. 

The online survey closes May 31.

The St. Charles Sisters Cities – German 

Chapter has rescheduled its annual Midwest

Cuivre River Cooperative to 

release capital credits in June 

Cuivre River Electric Cooperative 

[CREC] is returning over $6.7 million of 

capital credits to its members this year, but 

is doing so sooner, with the distribution of 

refunds beginning the first week of June. 

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic which 

has placed a hardship on some CREC 

members, the cooperative’s Board of 

Directors approved an earlier than usual 

retirement of capital credits this year. 

According to a CREC release, this year’s 

refunds, which are normally distributed in 

late July, include a portion of the cooperative’s 

2019 and 2018 and 1997 margins – 

still a hybrid method of retirement but 

nearer to current years and members. They 

include 33% of members’ equity from 

2018, 33% from 2019 and 33% from 1997. 

Capital credits, similar to profit margins 

in other businesses, represent CREC 

members’ ownership equity. The amount 

of each member’s refund is based on a 

formula determined by the quantity and 

cost of kilowatt-hours purchased annually. 

Since 1976, CREC has returned over $100 

million to current and former members. 

Founded in 1941, Cuivre River Electric 

Cooperative is the largest of Missouri’s 

40 consumer-owned electric distribution 

cooperatives, providing electricity to 

more than 65,000 homes and businesses 

in the area.

Ward 1: Arnie C. “AC” Dienoff 

1. I will provide much needed leadership 

by making correct decisions, always; putting 

people first by advocating for O’Fallon 

residents and restoring honesty, accountability 

and common sense responsibility 

to the city council/administration and 

every taxpayer. My priorities include balanced 

budgets, audits and no tax increases. 

A “watchdog ,” I will identify all waste. I 

am in favor of community-based policing, 

DWI enforcement with “no tolerance,” a 

pay raise for patrol officers, needed economic 

development and annexation for 

growth. 

2. I feel called to serve the 19,000 citizens 

of Ward 1. I have been at all City 

Council meetings for the past 10 years. I

have worked or 

been appointed at the municipal, township, 

county and state levels; and have managed

business my entire adult life. I enjoy serving 

the public and helping in my community. 

My priorities if elected include public 

safety: continuing to provide training and 

resources to stay one of the safest cities in 

Missouri. Downtown revitalization: Growing 

our downtown area by adding additional 

restaurants, bars, shopping areas and 

a grocery. Infrastructure improvements: 

continue to repair streets and sidewalks, 

replace aging water lines and construct 

walking and biking trails. 

2. I am the current councilman for Ward 

1 [2014-present]. I am experienced and 

involved. It’s been my pleasure representing 

the residents of Ward 1 for the past six 

years. Also, working at QT, managing a 

large business has given me an opportunity 

to work with budgets, staffing and give 

great customer service. I have learned to be 

fiscally conservative and budget minded. 

I appreciate the opportunity to continue 

serving you as councilman for Ward 1. 

Ward 1: Chris Horvath 

1. My top priorities if elected include 

achieving fiscal responsibility and controlling 

city spending; limit wasteful spending 

so those resources can be put toward 

police, parks, streets, etc. I want to prevent 

MoDOT from using eminent domain 

against city residents. I will work toward 

securing a supermarket on the north side 

of O’Fallon; responsible development that 

includes limiting development that will 

reduce property values; and encouraging 

businesses to come to O’Fallon. 

2. Having worked at the city of O’Fallon, 

I have unique qualifications no one else 

running has. I am a former senior project 

manager for the city, who was in charge 

of capital improvements and managing 

employees for my division as well as 

developing the budget for my division. I 

know how the city works and where the 

wasteful spending can be cut! Additionally, 

I am a 15-year resident, Elks Lodge 

member, Scout Master. 

Ward 2: Lisa Thompson 

Ward 3: Nathan Bibb*

try and balance spending in such a way to 

ensure the city’s infrastructure is properly 

cared for and maintained. To ensure that 

our city police department continues to 

have the tools they need to maintain the 

safe community that O’Fallon is. Above all 

else, I want to make sure that the residents 

of this fine city continue to be represented 

with their needs over any special interests. 

2. My qualifications include 30 years 

experience in engineering and construction, 

my ability to relate to our residents 

and remain accessible and available to 

them, and my 24 years experience as an 

O’Fallon resident, a councilman and an 

active community volunteer. 

Ward 4 : James Donald Quinn 

Candidate did not respond by press time.

1. My top three priorities are assisting our 

seniors citizens to enjoy the highest possible

offering, etc.; revitalizing downtown and 

attracting a grocery store; upgrading our 

law-enforcement technology and adding 

police officers; and repairing the streets. 

2. I am qualified to continue service in 

this office as I have been a councilman for 

O’Fallon for 10 years including two years 

as president pro tempore. I have amassed a 

great deal of knowledge of our city operations. 

I fully understand what is needed to 

bring businesses to O’Fallon and will work 

tirelessly to revitalize downtown. 

Ward 5: Wendy Prakop 

1. My top priorities if elected are: advocating 

for sustainability awareness with 

emphasis on the 3R’s [reduce, reuse, recycle] 

of the waste management process; provide 

public transportation along the Main 

Street and Hwy. K corridors; utilize vacant 

buildings before building new structures.

office because I served on O’Fallon’s 

Advisory Green Council as chairman for 

12 years, served on the 2008 Comprehensive 

Plan Committee, received the 2006 

Volunteer of the Year award and received 

the Smokefree Leadership Award from 

Tobacco Free Missouri as an advocate

Ward 5: Katie Gatewood 


ST. PETERS 

Mayor: Leonard B. “Len” Pagano* 

Ward 1: John “Rocky” Reitmeyer* 

Ward 2: Gregg Steven Sartorius 

1. The city of St. Peters is a great place 

to live, work and play. Therefore, my top 

priority is to maintain or improve the amenities, 

services and safety in the city for its 

residents and businesses. To accomplish 

this objective, we need to draw more viable 

businesses to our city in order to maintain 

and grow our tax base. There is still space 

in the 370 Business Park and throughout 

the city for this growth. 

2. I am a retired school administrator with 

five college degrees. I have served on a variety 

of boards and commissions in St. Peters 

since 1996, been a trustee for my neighborhood 

for over 20 years, and remain up-todate 

on current issues and projects going on 

in the city. With the continued support of 

Mayor Len Pagano, the Board of Alderman 

and city staff, we can continue to achieve 

great things for our city. 

Ward 2: Kashfia M. Rahman 

1. My top priorities are keeping our 

streets safe; working with homeowner 

associations and other communities for 

neighborhood watch programs as well as 

ensuring the safety of our young ones in 

the street. I am committed to the further 

beautification of our roads and parks and 

involving our younger generation within 

programs to help our neighborhoods and 

older generations. 

2. I have held several executive offices 

with our school system. By trade, I manage 

portfolios and projects. I am involved in

PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT ADDRESS 

DATE ISSUED 

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES) Act into 

law. The CARES Act is a $2 trillion relief package to address the economic fallout related to the COVID-19 public health 

emergency. 

Section 18003 makes funds available from the Education Stabilization Fund for grants to State Education Agencies for 

elementary and secondary school emergency relief. 

Section 18005 of the Act provides that Local Education Agencies (LEAs) receiving funds from the Elementary and 

Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund must provide equitable services to non-public schools as required under section 

1117 of the ESEA. However, control of these funds and title to materials, equipment and property purchased with such 

funds must remain with the public school district, and be administered by the public LEA. Public school districts will need 

to consult with non-public school officials to determine how the services will be provided to the non-public schools.

While the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has a number of non-public schools registered 

for participation in federal programs, there may be additional nonpublic schools that wish to receive an equitable share 

of services funded by the CARES Act.. Nonpublic schools not registered with the Missouri Department of Elementary and 

Secondary Education (DESE) may contact the Federal Programs Section to participate in the CARES Act services. 

It is important to note that the non-public school will not receive funds, but rather services from the public school district. 

If you choose to participate in the services the CARES Act funds offer, the Department will need confirmation from the 

nonpublic school of their wishes to participate as well as enrollment counts and economic deprivation counts BEFORE 

June 1, 2020. 

If you have questions or concerns, or to submit enrollment counts please contact Julia Cowell, Director of Federal 

Programs, at Julia.cowell@dese.mo.gov or Theresa Villmer, Equitable Services Ombudsman for the State of Missouri, at

Example of a dip in the street used to slow down traffic 

By JOHN TREMMEL 

Traffic calming [TC] measures to slow 

down vehicles in a subdivision can include 

such things as “speed bumps,” roadway 

dips, narrowing of lanes, or radar-enabled 

speed signs. The original O’Fallon TC process 

for use in residential areas was first 

defined and implemented in 2008, then 

modified in 2018. During the past year and 

a half, city staff received additional feedback 

about the process from residents. 

After discussing that feedback with the 

Public Works Advisory Committee on Feb. 

19 and the City Council on March 12, city 

staff recommended updates to address resident 

issues and streamline the protocol for 

residents and the city. 

At the May 14 council meeting, Bill 

No. 7188, sponsored by council members 

Mike Pheney [Ward 5] and Nathan Bibb 

[Ward 3] was given a first reading. The 

bill proposes revisions to the protocols for 

traffic calming. City staff recommend its 

approval. If typical timing is followed, a 

second reading and vote for final passage 

will be conducted at the May 28 council 

meeting. 

Changes would include: 

• The percentage of residents required in 

a subdivision to petition for a traffic condition 

study would be raised from 10% to 

15%. 

• Instead of conducting a subdivisionwide 

town hall meeting immediately after 

a petition is received, city staff would mail 

a “traffic calming pamphlet” to residents 

who signed the petition, providing an overview 

of the process and setting expectations 

about what is required to proceed. 

• Speed studies in response to the petition 

currently are being done at any time during 

all 12 months of a year. Instead, the period 

of Dec. 15 through March 15 would be 

excluded, due to traffic patterns not being 

viewed as normal during that period. 

• For conditions severe enough to warrant 

traffic calming, a speed study would need 

[Source: John Tremmel] 

to demonstrate that the average speed on 

the roadway is greater than 25 MPH and 

[instead of or] the traffic volume must 

exceed 600 average daily trips [ADT]. If 

either of those criteria [instead of just one] 

are not met, the roadway would not qualify 

for traffic calming. 

• An added exception: If the average 

speed exceeds the speed limit by greater 

than 10%, the ADT requirement would not 

apply. 

• Staff would prepare a preliminary 

design for traffic calming based on the 

eligibility criteria score and traffic study 

results, instead of based on general agreement 

regarding the problems and strategies. 

• If TC measures are necessary based on 

the traffic study, a member of the city engineering 

staff would schedule and attend 

a neighborhood meeting to showcase an 

initial TC design and attempt to reach a 

consensus for the preferred TC measures, 

based on input from residents attending 

the meeting. That is instead of Community 

Development, the Fire Department and 

Police Department attending the neighborhood 

meeting. 

• If the proposed TC measure fails based 

on minimum eligibility criteria, residents 

could apply to have radar-enabled speed 

signs installed as a new option. A form 

signed by 15% or more separate households 

in a subdivision must be submitted to 

the engineering department. The city then 

would send a mail-back survey form to all 

affected residential dwelling units in the 

subdivision. Any support response of less 

than 65% of the households would be considered 

by the council as no action required. 

• Radar-enabled speed signs would be 

installed on city poles per city standards. 

The residents or HOA will be responsible 

for the initial cost and long-term maintenance 

of those signs and must enter into a 

license agreement with the city. The costs 

must be paid up-front. Radar signs would 

not be installed without a prior TC evaluation 

failure.

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

By JESSICA MESZAROS 

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 amounts 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 in St. 

Louis County. For many years, United 

Way’s 211 hotline 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 the 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. 

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, 

the Director of Strategic Initiatives at 

Saint Louis MHB, there is also a separate 

text-based line that is available 

for youths that are feeling stressed. 

The service is available by texting 

BHEARD to 31658. 

“Some young people don’t feel 

comfortable making a phone call as 

the first point 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,” 

Financial concerns and feelings of isolation are 

common reasons that people have cited for turning 

to mental health professionals during quarantine. 

[Source: Pixabay] 

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.” 

According to Muhammad, this referral 

system also works for individuals that 

are suffering from intense anxiety or need 

emergency medical attention. 

“For some people, they just need someone 

to talk to and express things, and that’s 

all,” Muhammad said. “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.” 

According to Muhammad, some of the 

most common stressors individuals call 

about are related to job loss or a reduction 

in income. Because this hotline is 

tied to United Way’s network, callers can 

be instantly connected with a network of 

professionals that can provide information 

on a wide array of services. This includes 

applying for supplemental food and nutrition 

programs, shelter and housing options, 

veterans’ resources and more. 

“There’s a lot of anxiety around the economic 

impact of [COVID-19], and people 

are calling because of that,” Muhammad said. 

In fact, according to Muhammad, the 

hotline has 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.

St. Peters Planning and Zoning recommends denial of rezoning for ‘Dallavalle Tract’ 

By JOHN TREMMEL 

On May 6, the St. Peters Planning & 

Zoning Commission [P&Z] considered proposed 

rezoning of 9.09 acres of land at 724 

Spencer Road. 

The property, which is shown as 9.15 

acres on Zillow.com, Realtor.com and Refin. 

com, is known as “the Dallavalle Tract” due 

to ownership by the Robert F. Dallavalle 

Trust. It is the last remaining piece of a large 

family farm that was sold during the past four 

decades to create several subdivisions along 

Spencer Road. 

Its current zoning is A-1 Agricultural. 

Luetkenhaus Properties has requested rezoning 

to Planned Urban Development [PUD], 

in order to build a proposed development, 

Park Place Townhomes, with 49 units on a 

single cul-de-sac. The townhomes would 

occupy eight buildings with four, six or eight 

units per building. Each unit will have a 2-car 

garage and a 2-car driveway. Some garages 

will be front-entry; others will be tuck-under 

garages in the back of the units. Each unit 

will be sold individually by Kemp Homes, 

with its own separate lot recorded. 

After a half-hour of developer presentations 

and an hour of negative comments made 

by 14 citizens, P&Z voted 5-4 to send the 

rezoning request to the Board of Aldermen 

with a recommendation 

of denial. A greater 

number of citizens were 

present at the meeting 

but did not speak. 

Voting to recommend 

denial were commission 

members Keith 

McNames, Lori Tainter, 

Steven Bailey, Gary 

Westhoff and Pat Kelley. 

Voting to effectively 

recommend approval 

were commission members 

Steve Snarzyk, Larry Sachse, Joseph 

Markus and [Ward 3 Alderman] Terri Violet. 

Commission members Bill Yoffie and Janet 

Shetterly were absent. 

Via voice vote, the commission then voted 

to postpone discussion about the proposed 

Park Place Townhomes site plan until after 

knowing the result of the aldermanic vote 

on the rezoning request. The aldermen meet 

next at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 28; the 

agenda for that meeting has not yet been published. 

Residents who spoke said they were not 

against development of the land at 724 Spencer 

Road. In fact, they said they expected and 

welcomed it. What they said they opposed 

was having 49 high-density townhomes 

Front rendering of the townhomes along Spencer Road 

[Source: Luetkenhaus Properties] 

packed into about half of the 9.09-acre tract 

[5.1 acres or 56% of the land is unusable due 

to a storm drainage creek], and the incongruity 

of building dense, urban-style townhomes 

compared to the non-dense single-family 

homes and villas in surrounding subdivisions 

including Carrington Place, Penny Lane and 

Shadow Creek. As a comparison, Penny 

Lane has 104 units on 22.56 acres, or 4.6 

units per acre. Subtracting the creek unbuildable 

area, Park Place would be 49 units on 

about 5.5 acres, or 8.9 units per acre. 

At the commission’s request, developer 

Bill Luetkenhaus, of Luetkenhaus Properties, 

presented the detailed site plan as 

background for the rezoning decision. He 

emphasized that everything in the proposed 



townhome site plan will meet city code. 

Acknowledging the concerns of nearby 

residents who had signed a petition against 

the development, Luetkenhaus said: “I had 

scheduled a discussion meeting to address 

concerns with residents. Due to the COVID- 

19 pandemic, the library where the meeting 

was to be held had been closed, and no other 

venues were available for a group meeting. 

So, I was unable to meet with the residents 

as a group.” 

“A lot of the resident concerns expressed in 

the petition have been addressed in the site 

plan,” he added. 

Luetkenhaus said he met with city staff 

and the city’s consulting architect and made 

changes to the plans to accommodate what 

they suggested. To address residents’ property 

value concerns, he described a study he 

had done by Bader, a professional appraisal 

company, and said that “based on assessed 

values, surrounding homes and villas in Carrington 

Place, Shadow Creek, and Penny 

Lane average about $185,000, and the proposed 

townhouses will start at $230,000, 

or about $50,000 above the surrounding 

homes.” He said city staff also had looked 

at seven multi-family developments in St. 

Peters that backed to single-family homes.

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.”

That individual was 41-year-old 

Nathan Walker, a COVID-19 survivor. 

On May 13, Mid Rivers Newsmagazine 

caught up with Walker, 

who is going through physical 

therapy after combating COVID- 

19 and losing almost 30 pounds 

of muscle mass during his three 

weeks in the ICU. 

Walker had been in a coma for 

weeks after he was exposed to 

novel coronavirus in early April. 

After the exposure, Walker was told by 

St. Louis County Health Department to 

go into quarantine for two weeks, which 

he did immediately. It was during that 

period when the virus began its onset. 

“I’d quarantined myself at that point for 

one week and five days when I felt the 

first symptom come on,” Walker said. “I’d 

been maintaining a log of my temperature, 

blood pressure and pulse rate, and my 

temperature had spiked. I don’t remember 

what it was. There’s a lot of things that are 

still fuzzy.” 

After his increase in temperature, Walker 

said he developed a slight cough. 

One day later, Walker’s symptoms had 

become severe enough that he went to 

urgent care, after which he was immediately 

transported to the ICU at SSM 

Health St. Joseph Hospital for treatment 

and recovery. 

Shortly after he was checked-in, Walker 

received news that he would have to go 

on a ventilator. Walker spent 19 days on 

a ventilator and was in the hospital’s ICU 

for three weeks in a medically induced 

coma. 

His sister Kimberly said there were multiple 

times when they came close to losing 

him. 

“It was three weeks of hell,” she said. 

Kimberly used platforms like Zoom to 

communicate with employees from her 

home in Texas. During that time, she said 

the SSM Health nurses and staff members 

maintained constant communication. 

“They got very used to me calling and 

checking in,” she said. 

During the call with Walker’s caregivers, 

Kimberly showed off pages of information 

and logs she had documented about Walker’s 

journey, including all the times each of 

the caregivers spoke with her. 

“You saved his life,” Kimberly told the 

nurses and caregivers during the May 12 

reunion. “I’m so grateful. Thank you for 

this moment.” 

ICU nurse Danielle Santiago was one of 

the caregivers in the room when Walker 

was extubated. She also took care of him 

the night he was intubated. 

“Just getting to know him and his family 

over that weekend was pretty life-changing,” 

Santiago said. 

After the tube was removed from his 

windpipe, Santiago was the one to produce 

a letterboard for Walker on which he wrote, 

‘thank you.’ But that wasn’t all Walker 

wanted to communicate. 

Upon his awakening, Walker’s caregivers 

were surprised to find out that he 

remembered their voices and identities, 

despite the fact that each caregiver was in 

full personal protective equipment [PPE] 

during their time spent with Walker. 

“A couple nights later when I came back 

just to say ‘hi,‘ when we were actually 

really talking and you were waking up 

more, I remember telling you who I was 

and that it was okay if you didn’t know me 

…” ICU night-shift nurse Taylor McCarty 

told Walker during the reunion. McCarty 

had taken care of Walker multiple times 

during his five-week stay. “I grabbed your 

hand and you said, ‘Oh no, I remember 

your voice.’ As soon as you said that, I had 

to excuse myself from the room because I 

just could not believe how much you had 

been through, how much you had pulled 

through and to be where you are, it’s just 

amazing. We are all so incredibly blessed 

to be part of your story and have taken care 

of you.” 

Walker, however, said he wasn’t surprised 

that he remembered them, even 

though it was just voices and eyes. “… 

that’s all I really had to focus on,” Walker 

said. 



COVID-19 survivor recalls nurses’ voices, actions after waking from coma

In response, Walker’s caregivers surprised 

him with a handmade book on May 

12. The book showed the faces of his caregivers 

in full PPE juxtaposed to their faces 

without any protective gear. The goal was 

to help Walker connect the faces with the 

eyes or images of the people who worked 

with him in the ICU and potentially help 

his memory as he moves into further stages 

of recovery. 

Walker said he was not expecting to 

receive a gift from the people who took 

care of him. 

“I was very emotional,” he said. 

During the reunion, he also took multiple 

opportunities to thank the nurses on 

the call, and those who weren’t, for saving 

his life. 

“Thank you for your efforts, thank you 

for what you did, thank you for being in the 

COVID unit for weeks at a time,” Walker 

said. “You guys are amazing.” 

As for the seriousness of the virus and its 

impact on the human body, Kimberly said 

her brother’s situation was mainly a respiratory, 

one-organ issue and that is not the 

case for some individuals that come into 

the ICU. 

“He is 41 years old and healthy, and this 

hit him like a ton of bricks,” Kimberly said. 

Walker agreed and said what happened 

to him could happen to anyone. 

“You could get a cough, and that might 

be it,” Walker said during the May 13 follow-up. 

“Or you might be on a ventilator 

for 19 days.” 

As for the people who are calling him 

a hero after his recovery, Walker said he 

hadn’t thought of the situation from that 

perspective. 

“From my end, all I can think about is 

how grateful I am,” he said.

MID RIVERS NEWSMAGAZINE I SCHOOLS I 23 

Dubray Middle band director named Mid Rivers Newsmagazine’s Teacher of the Year 



By KATE UPTERGROVE 

Katheryn Fenske [blue shirt] shows off her new iPad to well-wishers at her Teacher of the Year celebration. 

With friends and family gathered at 

Dubray Middle School, the call was sent 

out over the intercom: “Mrs. Fenske, 

please come to the office.” 

As she entered the school’s lobby on 

the way from her classroom to the office, 

she was greeted by cheers and applause. 

The socially distanced crowd held balloons 

and signs. 

“What is this?” It was more of an exclamation 

than a question – an expression 

of confusion and shock. 

“What’s happening?” she asked. 

That’s when she was told, “You’ve 

been selected as Mid Rivers Newsmagazine’s 

Teacher of the Year.” 

Katheryn Fenske is the band director 

at Dubray Middle, a position she has 

held for four years. She’s taught music 

for 32 years – and her students love her. 

“There are so many things that Kathy 

has done for our family and the School 

District,” parent Chrystal Williams 

wrote in her nomination letter. “She 

is the band director at Dubray Middle 

School, but she doesn’t stop there. She 

also helps the Fort Zumwalt East High 

School marching and concert bands. On 

Tuesdays, after school, she runs the jazz 

band at Dubray for children wanting 

more musical experience. She has the 

patience of a saint.” 

Williams wrote that Fenske has taken 

“my oldest son under her wing and helps 

him prepare for competitions.” 

In fact, on the same afternoon as her 

award presentation, Fenske was helping 

Williams’ son prepare for a state competition. 

He plays clarinet in the Fort Zumwalt 

East Lion Pride Band. 

Fenske is happy to help. She said she 

became a teacher because she wanted to 

inspire young people to love music with 

a passion. 

“I think music is one of the most beautiful 

things we have in this world, and I 

wanted to teach them so that they would 

have that in their lives. I was inspired by 

a music teacher when I was in middle 

school,” she said. 

Now, she says one of her greatest joys 

is when a past student reaches out to let 

her know she inspired them to become a 

music teacher. 

She says some of her favorite memories 

are “when a student calls me and 

tells me they played their clarinet for 

their grandma over the phone, or when I 

see their eyes light up the first time they 

make a melody sound like music.” 

During her career, she has taught students 

of all ages from preschool to college. 

She even taught for a time at the St. 

Joseph’s Institute for the Deaf, preschool 

through eighth grade. 

“My daughter is deaf. That’s why we 

moved to St. Louis, so she could attend 

St. Joseph’s Institute,” Fenske explained. 

“Most of the students who attend there 

are profoundly deaf. They wear hearing 

aids and cochlear implants, but most of 

those were not good enough for music. I 

felt like all of these kids were in danger 

of going through life missing out on this 

beautiful thing. So, we just decided that 

we were going to sing and dance and 

make music and put on musicals – all 

those things. My students loved music!” 

The thrill of taking a student from 

knowing nothing about an instrument to 

making music never gets old. 

“At the beginning of the school year, 

I tell the parents of new students, ‘By 

December, we’ll be making music I 

promise,’” Fenske said. 

She says, so far, she’s been able to 

keep her promise. 

“She is so great at what she does and 

truly loves her students,” Williams wrote. 

“You are a fortunate person if you have 

her as a teacher in your life.” 

Through Access the Arts at STAGES 

St. Louis, she has helped people with 

[Source: Fort Zumwalt School District] 

disabilities experience music, but her 

accomplishments don’t end with teaching. 

Fenske is also a published composer 

and arranger. Additionally, she is 

a member of the American School Band 

Directors Association, Missouri Music 

Educators Association, Missouri Bandmasters 

Association, NAfME, Phi Betta 

Kappa Society and Pi Kappa Lambda 

Society. Previously, she was named 

an Independent Schools of Saint Louis 

Teacher of Distinction and received the 

Emerson Excellence in Teaching Crystal 

Apple Award. 

In recognition of being chosen Mid 

Rivers Teacher of the Year, Fenske 

received a new iPad and gift certificates 

courtesy of the newsmagazine and its 

Excellence in Education sponsors: Busey 

Bank-O’Fallon, Beseda Flooring & 

More, Dream Play Recreation and Fritz’s 

Frozen Custard. 

“I’m honored beyond words,” Fenske 

said.

A flood of new scientific data is providing information about many different 

aspects of COVID-19. 

[Source: Adobe Stock] 

Health 

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 wellcontrolled 

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, the first to examine gender differences 

in COVID-19 patients, found 

that while men and women are equally 

likely to contract the virus, men are significantly 

more likely to die or suffer 

more severe effects. The results suggest 

that additional care may be required for 

older men or those with underlying conditions, 

researchers have said. 

Early in the first major outbreak in 

China, doctors there noticed that men 

were dying at a rate up to 2.5 times higher 

than that of women. This trend has continued 

both in Europe and the U.S. 

Although it’s not yet clear why men 

seem to be facing an increased mortality 

risk, experts have said that genetics 

may play a role, along with the fact that 

conditions like heart disease tend to be 

more common among older men than 

older women. 

• • • 

A growing list of symptoms. Signs 

of COVID-19 apparently can occur anywhere 

on the body … including the toes. 

“COVID toes,” lesions on the feet or 

toes of patients which can cause itching 

or burning, have been noted by dermatologists 

worldwide as a symptom of the 

virus. Conjunctivitis, or pinkeye, may 

be another less common symptom. Dizziness, 

headaches, muscle pain and tingling 

or “fizzing” sensations in the body 

may also be viral signs along with the 

most commonly experienced symptoms 

of fever, cough, shortness of breath and 

fatigue. 

• • • 

New post-infection complication 

for kids. A growing number of children 

nationwide, particularly in New York, 

have been hospitalized for a pediatric 

inflammatory syndrome which includes 

persistent fever and features of toxic 

shock syndrome or Kawasaki disease, 

a condition that causes inflammation in 

the walls of some blood vessels in the 

body. At least three children had died as 

of mid-May; a few cases had also been 

identified in the St. Louis area. The same 

syndrome has occurred in Europe, the 

U.K. and elsewhere in the U.S. 

Gardening is a “win-win” for 

physical, mental health 

There’s a reason that seeds and other gardening 

supplies are flying off the shelves 

at home improvement stores and selling 

out online. It seems more people than ever 

before are planting home vegetable gardens 

as a way to get outside, fill some extra time 

during the pandemic lockdown with a productive 

activity, or perhaps get started on a 

hobby they’ve always wanted to pursue. 

Another reason to start your own vegetable 

garden, though, may be the many 

proven benefits of gardening for all 

aspects of health – physical, mental and 

emotional. 

For example, a number of studies have 

shown that regular gardening can lower 

cholesterol and blood pressure. Periods 

of exercise during “active” gardening 

can also improve cardiovascular function. 

and help people lose weight. And regular 

exposure to sunlight is the best way to 

increase levels of vitamin D, which is 

critical to controlling inflammation in the 

body and boosting the immune system. 

Then there are the nutritional benefits 

of eating the products of a home garden: 

just-picked veggies grown without the 

use of pesticides or other harmful substances. 

According to experts from the 

Missouri Botanical Garden, vegetables 

that can be grown most successfully in 

the St. Louis area include tomatoes, bell 

peppers, leaf lettuce and spinach, green 

beans, cucumbers and summer squash. 

Previous studies also have shown that 

gardening can improve symptoms of 

depression and anxiety, and lower feelings 

of anger, stress and fatigue. People who 

take up gardening have also cited benefits 

such as improved life satisfaction, greater 

overall well-being, improved cognitive 

function and a stronger sense of community. 

In fact, gardening has increasingly 

been recognized not only as a cost-effective 

health intervention, but also as a type 

of occupational therapy called “horticultural 

therapy” for people with both mental 

and physical health issues.





I 25 

MENTAL HEALTH, from page 13 

als, 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 the announcement in early April 

that many schools would be closed to help 

children abide by the shelter-in-place order 

imposed by St. Charles County at the time, 

children 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. Keith Moll, a pediatrician 

with the SSM Health Medical Group, 

there has been an increase in his patients’ 

desire to specifically discuss their mental 

health at doctors visits. 

“There has been a slight increase in 

parents either suggesting [themselves] or 

being more receptive to my suggestion, 

‘Maybe you’re at the point where you can 

talk with a psychologist or someone that 

can specifically help with stress and anxiety 

for your child, or anyone at all ages,’” 

Moll said. 

According to Moll, individuals all ages 

respond differently to stress, and children 

are no exception. 

Some common signs that a young child 

could be experiencing abnormal levels 

of situation-based stress include repeated 

instances of increased aggression or seeming 

abnormally despondent or quiet. 

According to Moll, stress in young children 

can also physically manifest in the 

form of frequent complaints of aches or 

pains. A visit to a pediatrician or doctor 

can help determine the difference between 

a medical issue and a physical manifestation 

of anxiety. 

“Think of their normal disposition and 

how they normally approach things,” Moll 

said. “Now, this is a completely different 

situation that none of us have been through 

… this quarantine. But, how do they normally 

respond? Have they maybe had a 

death in the family of someone they were 

close to? How did they respond to that? 

You have to kind of take what is their norm, 

how they respond to things, and then we 

can really start to get a picture of, ‘This is 

abnormal for them.’” 

This advice also applied to preteens 

or individuals who may be experiencing 

changes in mood or stress levels because 

of puberty. However, unlike younger children, 

preteens and teenagers often display 

an increased awareness of the global situation 

and may experience anxiety based on 

that heightened awareness. 

“I have had, for example, patients when 

we had certain flu epidemics really worry 

that if they got the flu that they would die,” 

Moll said. “We had to talk through that and 

decide how to approach it.” 

According to Moll, regardless of a child’s 

or teenager’s age, an important factor to 

consider is that parents often serve as the 

first point of reference for how to respond 

to stress. 

“Children of all ages will pick up on 

the parents’ stress and anxiety,” Moll 

said. “The more you can do for yourself, 

meaning the parents, to reduce that, I think 

you’re going to eliminate that to children 

in general.” 

Simple things like maintaining a consistent 

bedtime and meal schedule can help 

restore a feeling of normalcy in a household. 

“I think doing those basic things leads to 

a sense of stability and comfort,” Moll said. 

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 recommendation is to get outside. 

“The first thing you should try to do, if 

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

Muhammad said. “Whether you’re just 

outside in your yard or you’re taking a 

walk, it does have a significant impact on 

your mental health and not just your physical 

health.” 

Muhammad 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 videoconferencing 

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.” 

Whether an individual ultimately decides 

to schedule a doctor’s visit for themselves 

or a loved one or reach out to a hotline, the 

act of speaking with a mental health professional 

can help maintain an open dialogue 

about personal wellness for the remainder 

of the COVID-19 quarantine and beyond. 

“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,” Muhammad 

said. “It’s one thing to read about what it’s 

like to feel anxious or depressed, but it’s 

another thing to experience it.”

Sunset Fridays has long been 

a staple of summer entertainment 

for St. Charles County 

residents. 

Armed with lawn chairs, 

blankets and picnic baskets, 

hundreds of music lovers fill 

370 Lakeside Park all summer 

long to enjoy the music of local 

bands. But last summer, floodwaters 

forced the city to take 

its popular concert series on 

the road. This year, there’s no 

flood, but with COVID-19 still 

posing a threat to public health, 

the city has chosen to reinvent 

its concert series one more time. 

Through Friday, July 17, the 

city and St. Peters TeleVision 

is bringing Sunset Fridays “On 

the Road” to back yards and Wade Trent 

living rooms across the region. 

So gather your family for a backyard 

barbecue, invite the neighbors to join in 

a socially distanced block party, or shop 

local by ordering in food from favorite 

local restaurants – and let St. Peters provide 

the soundtrack of summer. 

“I know what it means to people,” musician 

Wade Trent said about being able to 

continue Sunset Fridays. “I know what it 

means for me … to be able to share this 

means everything to me.” 

Trent kicked off the series on May 15 

abd will perform again on June 5. The 

concerts will stream live at SPTVnow.net 

and air on Charter Spectrum Channel 992 

or AT&T U-Verse Channel 99. It was was 

recorded at the Cultural Arts Centre’s Performing 

Arts Theatre without an audience. 

Each concert also will be available on 

demand at SPTVnow.net after it airs. 

All you need to enjoy the show is a

ST. PETERS, from page 14 

In those instances, Luetkenhaus said the city 

found that “the single-family home values 

had gone up.” 

Other resident concerns that Luetkenhaus 

said are covered in the site plan, include: 

• 56% of the overall development will be 

green space. 

• Street lights will have shields around them 

to avoid casting off of light. 

• Four parking spaces will be available for 

each unit; two in the garage, two in the driveway. 

• Stormwater retention provisions will be 

per city code. 

• Traffic studies indicate a current volume 

of 15,000 car trips per day on Spencer Road. 

An uptick in traffic as a result of the development 

would equate to 22-27 additional car 

trips per hour on the road with no problem 

anticipated. 

Luetkenhaus said he was distressed to see 

an inference in the petition that described 

him as a “local lobbyist” who was hired to 

“grease the wheels” and get this approved. He 

clarified, “I am not a lobbyist, not an attorney, 

and since retiring from the state legislature I 

have operated a real estate and development 

business.” 

Following Luetkenhaus, Dale Bax, of Bax 

Engineering, described the site in question as 

“9.09 acres, including a single-family homestead, 

with a mix of grass fields and woodlands 

sloping down to a drainage creek.” He 

said the site plan will not disturb the creek 

bank setup. 

“The buildings [on the site] include an 

uninhabited two-story brick home in disrepair, 

with many code violations; a wood 

barn; a woodshed; a metal shed and a concrete 

in-ground pool that the family had filled 

in years ago,” Bax said. 

In answer to a later question by P&Z chair 

Keith McNames, Luetkenhaus stated that 

the house is not on any historical U.S., state, 

or county register. “And, we had the house 

inspected,” he said. “It has termite damage, 

mold issues, asbestos and many code violations.” 

At the request of McNames, Luetkenhaus 

agreed to check with the St. Charles 

County Historical Society to ask if they are 

aware of any historical significance for the 

house. 

Regarding the property, Bax said, “Trees 

currently occupy 3.67 acres. The city requires 

us to keep 50% of the trees, or 1.83 acres. We 

plan to keep 2.36 acres of trees, or 65%, and 

we plan to plant 25 additional trees to further 

beautify the property.” 

During the public hearing, Louise Noeth- 

Lanigan spoke, representing the 127 signers 

of an opposition petition from 84 units 

[80.1% of the 104 units] in the Penny Lane 

subdivision. 

“Know that we trust city staff and elected 

officials to be sensitive to needless disruption 

of our congenial daily living by allowing 

what amounts to generous paydays for the 

landowners and developers who will depart 

pockets full, leaving behind residents with 

a distasteful urban carbuncle of ill-placed 

structures that are no more visually pleasant 

[sic] than a cheap B-movie prop,” Lanigan 

said. “The high density of proposed buildings 

and the style does not fit in with surrounding 

neighborhoods. Penny Lane has been a great 

success for the area and the Dallavalle Tract 

development should complement Penny 

Lane architecture.” 

Lanigan said she does not accept the density 

claims made by Luetkenhaus. 

“He relies on the full 9 acres instead of the 

5.5 acres actually being developed,” she said. 

Several other speakers echoed those same

kenhaus stated there were no caps on 

rentals being proposed. This portends a 

significant future problem for the adjacent 

neighborhoods.” 

Luetkenhaus said Kemp Homes 

intends to sell the homes not rent them 

thus there would be no rental caps. 

In an interview on May 8, Lanigan said 

she believed the density stats were set up 

in favor of the developer and to the detriment 

of the existing homeowners. She 

also expressed concern about where trash 

cans would be stored and worried that 

dumpsters might Keen, be used. Karen She also said 

she feared that “decibel levels would be 

terrible for [air Karen conditioner Keen units on back 

decks] and much of their noise would 

carry down to Carrington Place and 

Shadow Creek.” 

Lanigan also was concerned that 

Luetkenhaus “paid for a study that 

used assessed value for the comparison 

of home values, 636-219-3113 

not market value or 

appraised value.” She said the last 18 

months of sales around Penny Lane averaged 

in the $248,000 range, with some 

up to $350,000. “That means Park Place 

421 Carousel Court 

Townhomes starting at $230,000 would 

not be more than surrounding homes.” 

Lanigan said, “Residents from all of 

the affected subdivisions were shocked ON THE BALLOT, from page 22 

that Alderman Terri Violet had voted to 

ignore every reasonable constituent concern 

and support the site plan as submit-
