President Obama’s latest political ploy – granting new “rights” out of thin air, by executive order, to illegal immigrants who claim that they were brought into the country when they were children – is all too typical of his short-run approach to the country’s long-run problems.

Whatever the merits or demerits of the Obama immigration policy, his executive order is good only as long as he remains president, which may be only a matter of months after this year’s election.

People cannot plan their lives on the basis of laws that can suddenly appear, and then suddenly disappear, in less than a year. To come forward today and claim the protection of the Obama executive order is to declare publicly and officially that your parents entered the country illegally. How that may be viewed by some later adminis-tration is anybody’s guess.

Employers likewise cannot rely on policies that may be here today and gone tomorrow, whether these are temporary tax rates designed to look good at election time or temporary immigration policies that can backfire later if employers get accused of hiring illegal immigrants.

Why hire someone, and invest time and money in training them, if you may be forced to fire them before a year has passed?

Kicking the can down the road is one of the favorite exercises in Washington. But neither in the economy nor in their personal lives can people make plans and commitments on the basis of government policies that suddenly appear and suddenly disappear.

Like so many other Obama ploys, his immigration ploy is not meant to help the country, but to help Obama. This is all about getting the Hispanic vote this November.

The principle involved – keeping children from being hurt by actions over which they had no control – is one already advanced by Sen. Marco Rubio, who may well end up as Gov. Romney’s vice-presidential running mate. The Obama executive order, which suddenly popped up like a rabbit out of a magician’s hat, steals some of Sen. Rubio’s thunder, so it is clever politics.

But clever politics is what has gotten this country into so much trouble, not only as regards immigration but also as regards the economy and the dangerous international situation.

When the new, and perhaps short-lived, immigration policy is looked at in terms of how it can be administered, it makes even less sense. While this policy is rationalized in terms of children, those who invoke it are likely to do so as adults.

How do you check someone’s claim that he was brought into the country illegally when he was a child? If Obama gets re-elected, it is very unlikely that illegal immi-grants will really have to prove anything. The administration can simply choose not to enforce that provision, as so many other immigration laws are unenforced in the Obama administration.

If Obama does not get re-elected, then it may not matter anyway, when his execu-tive order can be gone after he is gone.

Ultimately, it does not matter what immi-gration policy this country has, if it cannot control its own borders. Whoever wants to come, and who has the chutzpah, will come. And the fact that they come across the Mexican border does not mean that they are all Mexicans. They can just as easily be terrorists from the Middle East.

Only after the border is controlled can any immigration policy matter be seriously considered, and options weighed through the normal constitutional process of con-gressional hearings, debate and legislation, rather than by presidential short-cuts.

Not only is border control fundamental, what is also fundamental is the principle that immigration policy does not exist to accommodate foreigners but to protect Americans – and the American culture that has made this the world’s richest, freest and most powerful nation for more than a century.

No nation can absorb unlimited numbers of people from another culture without jeopardizing its own culture. In the 19th and early 20th century, America could absorb millions of immigrants who came here to become Americans. But the situa-tion is entirely different today, when group separatism, resentment and polarization are being promoted by both the education system and politicians.

Real recovery needed

To the Editor:Like many others, I disagree

with the president’s assertion that the “private sector is doing fine.” And I’m certain the more than 23 million Americans who remain unemployed or underemployed also disagree. I’ve long said private sector job creation should be the number one domestic priority today. In President Barack Obama’s view, we just need more government jobs.

Two years ago, the White House kicked off the “Recovery Summer” campaign, claiming that the president’s nearly-tril-lion-dollar stimulus had done its job.

President Obama declared the economy had begun “growing at a good clip” and Vice President Joe Biden predicted the “creation of 250,000 to 500,000 new jobs a month could soon be on the horizon.” Secretary Tim Geithner even penned an op-ed in the New York Times entitled “Wel-come to the Recovery.”The rhetoric was high, but economic growth remained low. The real gross domestic product (GDP) grew at a rate of 1.7 percent in 2011 and 1.9 percent in the first quarter of 2012 – well below the rate of previous recoveries. And in 2012, only 77,000 jobs were cre-ated in April, and only 69,000 in May. Even after the stimulus passed, unem-ployment peaked at more than 10 per-cent and has remained above 8 percent for 40 straight months. It would be much higher if so many hadn’t just given up on finding work in the Obama Economy. The country is stuck in the deepest eco-nomic downturn since the Great Depres-sion, and Americans have realized the current administration’s out-of-touch policies have failed to make things better. This administration’s tax, borrow, and spend policies have done nothing to turn around the lagging job creation and the nation’s record debt, which have come to define the Obama Economy. There’s still time for the president to lead and things to do.

For example, the Keystone Pipeline is a clear way to promote more North American energy sources and would create thousands of new jobs – the first of which are construction jobs. The House recently voted to repeal the onerous medical device tax, which, if fully implemented, could cost as many as 43,000 private sector jobs. Current U.S. tax laws make it costly and more difficult for companies to bring global earnings back to invest in the United States

– virtually trapping more than $1 trillion in

earnings overseas that could be used to hire more workers. The Reinvest Foreign Earnings Act is a solution to this issue. Bills like the Regulatory Account-ability Act, the Regulatory Flexibility Improvements Act, and the REINS Act would immediately relieve regulatory burdens on small businesses and create jobs. These are all practical, common-sense proposals that have been passed by the House and are sitting in the Senate. Democrats in the Senate haven’t even passed a budget, which is required annu-ally by law, in more than three years. To achieve a real recovery, we should focus on individual incentives to work, produce, and invest. That means cut reckless government spending, increase domestic energy production, stop job-kill-ing regulations, and reform the tax code to create certainty in the private sector. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) warned last month that, if lawmakers failed to take action ahead of the coming $607 billion combina-tion of expiring tax provisions and auto-matic spending cuts set to take effect in January 2013, the country would be plunged into a deeper recession. Former President Bill Clinton even announced that the economy is already in a recession and urged Congress to extend all the tax cuts due to expire at the end of the year. Our country is at a fiscal cliff. We have to decide if we fall off or get to firm economic ground. We could be like Europe, and continue to allow our government to get bigger than our economy can support.

Or we could take action on the dozens of bipartisan, House-passed, job-creating bills stalled in the Senate, and make private sector job creation our priority. The bottom line is that American families and job creators need real recovery and real leadership.

tions Committee and the Commerce, Sci-ence and Transportation Committee.

6 I OPINION I JUNE 27, 2012MID RIVERS NEWSMAGAZINE NEWSMAGAZINENETWORK.COM

What July 4th means to meFor one who was born and grew up in

the small towns of the Midwest, there is a special kind of nostalgia about the Fourth of July.

I remember it as a day almost as long-anticipated as Christmas. This was helped along by the appearance in store windows of all kinds of fireworks and colorful post-ers advertising them with vivid pictures.

No later than the third of July – sometimes earlier – Dad would bring home what he felt he could afford to see go up in smoke and flame. We’d count and recount the number of firecrackers, display pieces and other things and go to bed determined to be up with the sun so as to offer the first, thunder-ous notice of the Fourth of July.

I’m afraid we didn’t give too much thought to the meaning of the day. And, yes, there were tragic accidents to mar it, resulting from careless handling of the fireworks. I’m sure we’re better off today with fireworks largely handled by professionals. Yet there was a thrill never to be forgotten in seeing a tin can blown 30 feet in the air by a giant “cracker” – giant meaning it was about four inches long. But enough of nostalgia.

Somewhere in our growing up we began to be aware of the meaning of days and with that awareness came the birth of patrio-tism. July 4th is the birthday of our nation. I believed as a boy, and believe even more today, that it is the birthday of the greatest nation on earth.

There is a legend about the day of our nation’s birth in the little hall in Philadelphia, a day on which debate had raged for hours. The men gathered there were honorable men hard-pressed by a king who had flouted the very laws they were willing to obey. Even so, to sign the Declaration of Independence was such an irretrievable act that the walls resounded with the words “treason, the gal-lows, the headsman’s axe,” and the issue remained in doubt.

The legend says that at that point a man rose and spoke. He is described as not a young man, but one who had to summon all his energy for an impassioned plea. He cited the grievances that had brought them to this moment and finally, his voice fall-ing, he said, “They may turn every tree into a gallows, every hole into a grave, and yet the words of that parchment can never die. To the mechanic in the workshop, they will speak hope; to the slave in the mines, free-dom. Sign that parchment. Sign if the next moment the noose is around your neck, for that parchment will be the textbook of free-dom, the Bible of the rights of man forever.”

He fell back exhausted. The 56 delegates, swept up by his eloquence, rushed forward and signed that document destined to be as

immortal as a work of man can be. When they turned to thank him for his timely ora-tory, he was not to be found, nor could any be found who knew who he was or how he had come in or gone out through the locked and guarded doors.

Well, that is the legend. But we do know for certain that 56 men, a little band so unique we have never seen their like since, had pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. Some gave their lives in the war that followed, most gave their for-tunes, and all preserved their sacred honor.

What manner of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists, 11 were mer-chants and tradesmen, and nine were farmers. They were soft-spoken men of means and education; they were not an unwashed rabble. They had achieved security but valued free-dom more. Their stories have not been told nearly enough.

John Hart was driven from the side of his desperately ill wife. For more than a year he lived in the forest and in caves before he returned to find his wife dead, his children vanished, his property destroyed. He died of exhaustion and a broken heart.

Carter Braxton of Virginia lost all his ships, sold his home to pay his debts, and died in rags. And so it was with Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Rutledge, Morris, Livingston and Middleton. Nelson personally urged Washington to fire on his home and destroy it when it became the headquarters for General Cornwallis. Nelson died bankrupt.

But they sired a nation that grew from sea to shining sea. Five million farms, quiet vil-lages, cities that never sleep, 3 million square miles of forest, field, mountain and desert, 227 million people with a pedigree that includes the bloodlines of all the world. In recent years, however, I’ve come to think of that day as more than just the birthday of a nation.

It also commemorates the only true philo-sophical revolution in all history.

Oh, there have been revolutions before and since ours. But those revolutions simply exchanged one set of rules for another. Ours was a revolution that changed the very con-cept of government.

Let the Fourth of July always be a reminder that here in this land, for the first time, it was decided that man is born with certain God-given rights; that government is only a con-venience created and managed by the people, with no powers of its own except those vol-untarily granted to it by the people.

We sometimes forget that great truth, and we never should.

Happy Fourth of July.

- President Ronald Reagan, 1981

St. PeterS

No-touch areaThe owner of Cosmetic Laser Center

in St. Peters was arrested on June 20 and charged with deviant sexual assault.

Lawrence Branam, 48, was arrested at his business after police received a report that he inappropriately touched a female client during laser hair removal treatments. The victim reported going in for laser hair removal, which required several appoint-ments to complete the treatments. After numerous appointments, she reported Branam started touching her in areas which were not treated as part of the laser hair removal process. The victim stated the touch-ing was sexual in nature and unwanted.

Branam, of O’Fallon, was charged with assault in the third degree for a similar incident in 2011. The case has not yet been resolved in the state court.

Branam is currently being held in the St. Charles County Jail with a $100,000 bond.

The St. Peters Police Department is asking anyone who received treatment at Cosmetic Laser Center by Branam, and they feel as though they were a victim of a sexual assault, to contact Det. Doug Ziege-meier at 278-2244 ext. 3594.

Facing a fine A St. Peters robbery victim will never

see her missing jewelry again. And a local business will pay the price for melting the stolen jewelry before the 15-day require-ment by ordinance.

A St. Peters woman reported about $1,500 worth of jewelry stolen from her residence on May 28. The reporting offi-cer checked police databases and discov-ered the items were sold to Gold Stop in Mid Rivers Mall. The officer attempted to contact the owner on June 8 with the inten-tion to retrieve the stolen items before the 15 days expired. According to police, the owner did not return the officer’s numer-ous calls and messages.

When police were able to reach the

owner on June 13, the jewelry had already been sent off to be melted. Police said the business owner acknowledged that he vio-lated the city ordinance by not maintaining the jewelry for the required 15 days. The jewelry was purchased for $522.

“The fine could be up to $1,000,” said St. Peters Police Officer Melissa Doss.

The investigation into the jewelry theft is still active.

St. CharleS County

Walk around the clockSt. Charles County walkers will take to

the track to fight cancer during the Ameri-can Cancer Society Relay For Life of Central St. Charles on July 13-14. Teams will gather at Lutheran High School in St. Charles from 6 p.m. on Fri., July 13, until 6 a.m. on Sat., July 14.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life brings together more than 3.5 million people every year to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and empower individuals and communities to fight back against a disease that takes so much.

“Relay For Life is as much an awareness raiser about the progress against cancer as it is a fundraiser,” said Ben Prinster, event chair. “Many of the participants will be people who have dealt with cancer them-selves. Their involvement is proof of the progress that has been made in improving cancer survival rates and the quality of life following cancer treatment.”

Relay For Life opens as cancer survivors and caregivers walk or use a wheelchair to complete the first lap. An atmosphere of camaraderie is created with team mem-bers entertaining each other: eating, play-ing games and, of course, walking for a great cause. Highlighting the evening is the luminaria ceremony that takes place after dark to honor cancer survivors and to remember those lost. Luminaria line the track and are left burning throughout the night to remind participants of the impor-

tance of their efforts.“The funds raised will enable us to con-

tinue our investment in the fight against cancer by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back,” Prinster said.

Information about how to form a team or become involved in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life is available at www.RelayForLife.org/CentralStCharlesMo or by calling the local Society office at 314-286-8183.

Road closed for weeksNew Town Boulevard will be closed

between the New Town Drive and Hwy. B for about six weeks for continued improve-ments of New Town Boulevard.

Nathan Tormala, highway construction manager for St Charles County said Fred Weber will expand the two lane road to 12 feet wide in each lane. Six-foot wide shoul-ders will also be added, and the road will be slightly elevated.

Motorists will be required to use the signed detour route while the new road sec-tion is being built. Local traffic can access either side of the closure location, but no through traffic will be permitted.

Motorists can access New Town Boul-evard using Hwy. B and Seeburger Road. Signs notifying motorists of the closure and the necessary detours will be posted. The County will use changeable mes-sage boards to notify residents of any date changes of the closure and opening.

“The project will be complete this fall,” said Tormala.

Next road project startsWilmer Road, between Raven Court and

Woodspur Drive, reopened on June 19 and the next phase of the project has started. The next phase will require the closure of the roadway between Woodspur Drive and Boone Estates Drive.

“We’re happy to announce that the first phase of work was completed 19 days earlier than anticipated,” said St. Charles County Engineer Craig Tajkowski. “Hope-fully the good weather will continue and we can have the same type of early com-pletion on the next phase of work.”

The next phase will require traffic to use the signed detour route for approximately seven weeks while the new road section is being built. Local traffic can access either side of the closure location, but no through traffic will be permitted.

Motorists can access Wilmer Road using Hwy. N to Hepperman Road to Interstate Drive. Signs notifying motorists of the closure and the necessary detours will be posted. The county will be using change-able message boards to notify residents of any date changes of the closure and opening that might result from inclement weather.

DarDenne Prairie

Senior serviceMissouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder presented

Cheryl Moellenhoff of Dardenne Prairie with the Lieutenant Governor’s Senior Service Award on June 20.

The award recognized the clinical coordi-nator for the Volunteers in Medicine clinic in Lake Saint Louis for her work providing free outpatient medical services for people without health insurance.

Moellenhoff was instrumental in opening the clinic in 2010 and has continued to give back to the community through the clinic, using her skills as a nurse and devoting her time to serving the underserved. She has also served as Chief Nursing Executive at SSM St. Joseph Hospital West.

“Cheryl is such an important member of this community,” said Lisle Wescott, presi-dent of SSM St. Joseph Hospital West. “She and all the staff at the Lake Saint Louis Volunteers in Medicine Clinic have opened their hearts to provide those in need with a place to receive medical care.”

Moellenhoff received an official decla-ration from Kinder and a Senior Service Award lapel pin.

Canine Association- Region 16.Thompson and Ares participated in a

three-day United States Police Canine Association Patrol Dog Trial and Certifica-tion held earlier this month in Illinois. In order to certify, the canine teams had to pass a series of rigorous tests in the areas of obedience, evidence recovery, suspect scent detection, agility, and suspect appre-hension.

“The O’Fallon Police Department has a long history of earning the title of the “Top Dog” for Police Patrol Dogs, and we are all very proud of Officer Thompson and his partner Ares for their accomplishment in continuing this rich tradition,” said Roy Joachimstaler, chief of police.

38 suspects Earlier this month, several law enforce-

ment agencies across Missouri teamed up to arrest shoplifting offenders with arrest warrants against them.

The joint task force operated out of the Frontenac Police Department and targeted individuals who had failed to appear in court for a stealing charge related to a shoplifting case through the participat-ing agencies. All in all, 38 suspects were arrested and those 38 arrests cleared 123 outstanding arrest warrants for a variety of offenses from throughout the region.

The joint task force operation was con-ducted by law enforcement officers with the following agencies: O’Fallon, Mis-souri Police, Des Peres Department of Public Safety, Frontenac Police, Ches-terfield Police, St. Charles Police, Lake Saint Louis Police, Wentzville Police, Kirkwood Police, St. Charles County Sher-iff’s Department, Bridgeton Police and St. Louis County Police.

Man dies after stabbing A 54-year-old O’Fallon man succumbed

to injuries on June 15 after being stabbed multiple times during a robbery earlier this month.

Joseph Givens of the 800 block of Black-berry Lane made plans through a social media network to meet 20-year-old Peyton K. McAnelly and 18-year-old Avery Cor-nuelle, both of O’Fallon on June 8. Police were called to his residence just before 5 p.m. in reference to an assault. Givens was transported to an area hospital for very serious injuries from multiple stab wounds to his head, neck, and upper torso. He died from those injuries on June 15.

The St Charles County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office has amended the charges on both suspects to murder in the second degree, armed criminal action, attempted robbery in the first, and an additional charge of armed criminal action.

“Both suspects are currently in cus-

tody,” said Officer Diana Damke, with the O’Fallon Police Department.

The O’Fallon Police Department cau-tions anyone setting up meetings on social networking sites.

New headquartersAir Evac Lifeteam, a leading provider

of air medical transportation to rural com-munities, announced earlier this month that it will open a new headquarters build-ing in O’Fallon. The company will occupy an existing 78,000-square-foot building at 1001 Boardwalk Springs Place in the WingHaven neighborhood.

“It’s a huge testament to our residents and our community that the company chose O’Fallon in large part due to their ability to recruit national talent to O’Fallon and the St. Louis Metropolitan Area and the access to a large, educated labor pool in our com-munity,” said Michael Hurlbert, O’Fallon’s Economic Development director.

Air Evac Lifeteam will move approxi-mately 120 employees to O’Fallon with the recruitment of as many as 70 new employ-ees in a variety of functions. The head-quarters is expected to be operational in November 2012. Over time, the company also will transition most of its communica-tions center functions to O’Fallon.

Monument travels through O’Fallon

The city of O’Fallon is one of 13 cities scheduled to host a viewing of the National Fire Dog Monument (NFDM) as it journeys from Denver, Colo., to Washington D.C., where it will be dedicated on June 28.

The monument, which was created by Colorado firefighter Austin Weishel, pays tribute to the teamwork between humans and their canine companions in solving arson crimes.

Arson dogs – a.k.a. accelerant detec-tion canines – are trained to sniff out and indicate traces of petroleum products such as gasoline or lighter fluid that might have been used to start a fire. The traces are sam-pled and sent to a lab for identification. To become certified for the work, the dogs and their handlers undergo five weeks of profes-sional training and must pass yearly testing to maintain their certification. The dogs are with their handlers 24/7 and also receive training several times a day, every day.

The city of O’Fallon’s arson-detection team, Police Officer Andrew Stowers and K-9 Bo, is one of two K-9 arson detection teams in Missouri.

They are also among the 200 teams across the U.S. which have been certified by the Maine Criminal Justice Academy, thanks to funding from State Farm Insurance. The duo has a record of working more than 250 fires in Bo’s eight-year career.

10 I NEWS I JUNE 27, 2012MID RIVERS NEWSMAGAZINE NEWSMAGAZINENETWORK.COM

By Mary Ann O’Toole HolleyBrent Stafford, a supporter of the Ron

Paul presidential campaign, pleaded not guilty to trespassing charges issued to him after the chaotic cancellation of the St. Charles County Republican Caucus on March 17.

Stafford, 45, of O’Fallon, attended a hearing at the St. Peters Judicial Center on Tuesday, June 19, where he learned that a trial is set for July 24. Stafford said he plans to ask for a trial by jury.

David Roland an attorney with the Freedom Center of Missouri, a non-profit organization that deals with constitu-tional issues is handling Stafford’s case. Roland said St. Peters’ charges against Stafford threaten all citizens’ constitu-tional freedoms, and called the trespass-ing charges “bogus.”

“On the morning of March 17, Brent Stafford expected to be elected as the chair-man of the St. Charles County Republican Caucus. Instead, Stafford’s political rivals ignored parliamentary procedure, block-

ing his election and improperly adjourn-ing the caucus,” Roland said. “As he was giving instructions to a peaceful assembly of citizens, police officers placed Stafford under arrest, although they did not at that time tell him why he was being arrested.”

The police eventually claimed that Stafford had been ‘trespassing,’ although the gathering took place on public school grounds that were open to the public, and police did not arrest any of the scores of other people gathered outside of the school, Roland said.

Stafford said he was trying to instruct people how to reconvene and to rees-tablish a roster, but the police came and arrested him before he could finish.

“The caucus was adjourned in about 5 minutes, and they didn’t do anything they were supposed to do,” Stafford said. “When they adjourned, they hadn’t conducted any business of the day. They didn’t even elect the secretary.”

Stafford said a two-thirds majority vote is required in order to adjourn with-

out conducting business.“There was a voice vote, but there was

no confirmation of the votes. Even my appointment as the chair was ignored,” Stafford said. “There were probably 700 people chanting my name, and they ignored it. Then, I was arrested.”

Stafford said a crowd of about 300 people had gathered outside by the time he had left the Francis Howell High School gymnasium.

“They didn’t gather around me. There just happened to be this folding chair in the middle of the crowd of people. I stood up so people could see me,” Stafford said. “All I did was try to tell them what we needed to do to reconvene. The call to caucus said the high school, and did not specifically note the meeting place as the gymnasium. If we had tried to reconvene at some other loca-tion it would have been invalid.

“I don’t know why they arrested me instead of others. I guess they saw me as a figurehead,” Stafford said. “They went into the middle of the crowd and grabbed

me and watched everybody stand around, and I’m on the Central Committee.”

Stafford is the committeeman for Dardenne Township, but has not filed for reelection because of family demands.

Stafford said his hopes for a fair caucus began in March when he hired Theresa Dean, president of the Missouri Associa-tion of Parliamentarians from Kansas City to serve as the parliamentarian.

Stafford said she is probably one of the most highly-credentialed parliamentarians in the state.

“She’s been president of the National Association of Parliamentarians, and I wanted someone credentialed. She was going to make sure we followed the right procedures to reconvene, but that wasn’t able to happen,” Stafford said. “They basically started the caucus talking of arresting people.”

Another caucus was later held at the St. Charles Convention Center on June 10. Stafford was nominated as chairman at that event.

O’Fallon man pleads not guilty to charges related to Republican Caucus

By Mary Ann O’Toole HolleyAn O’Fallon ordinance requiring resi-

dents to mow right-of-way property adja-cent to their own residential lots is stirring rebellion by residents who say it is “unbear-able, unfair and dangerous.”

Frustrated residents spoke up at the recent City Council meeting saying mowing of weeds and grass along right of ways is “overwhelming” and “outrageous.” Some residents say the demand by the city to mow property that doesn’t belong to a resident is out of line.

The mowing requirement was enacted two years ago primarily because of city budget constraints and lack of city staff.

In early June, however, the council agreed the plan isn’t working: undeveloped lots and right-of-ways in the city are becoming over-grown. Resolving the issue isn’t expected for at least two weeks, until city staff reviews the existing ordinance and determines the overall status of the mowing situation.

Timothy Lenz of O’Fallon passionately told the council his home backs to Hwy. K and the mowing of grass in the right-of-way is “way overwhelming.”

“We need help,” Lenz said. “If there’s ever an issue with my property, I’ll gun it immedi-ately. I don’t want problems with my neigh-bors, but this is just too much. I get a citation; I cut the grass. Then, it wasn’t to their specs.”

Lenz said he received a warrant, and then the city sent someone to mow the grass just

outside his backyard fence facing Hwy. K.“There are rocks and snakes and it’s

unsafe to cut with a residential lawn mower,” Lenz said. “Whoever cut it needed a trailer, truck and the supervisor had to be out there. It cost $185. I tried to do my best, but the city put a lien on my house and gave me a new trial date.”

The next month, he said he received another citation saying “cut your grass or this will all happen again to you tomorrow.”

“I work 12 hours a day. That property has nothing to do with me. I have a privacy fence, and for me to get a ticket...” Lenz said. “When I got the first citation, I came and talked with the code enforcer. His response was, ‘yeah, we snuck that in on you and it wasn’t even growing season.’

“I’m frustrated,” Lenz continued. “I want to do the right thing. I’m trying, but I don’t know what they want me to do. I did cut it again, but I just need help. I wasn’t asked

‘can I do this?’ I was told, ‘do it.’ I’m doing the best I can and have never had a prob-lem with the city. I’m a law abiding citizen and do what I can to better the community. I don’t want to look like a nuisance for not doing what I’m told to do.”

Ben Seres, a resident of the Villas of Woodlawn, said when he first moved to the villas, the Neighborhood Association had issues with paying for mowing that wasn’t part of the villa development.

“Our association isn’t going to pay to cut

that back there,” Seres said. “If they could just get the city to cut it once a month. There are bugs and weeds, and it looks pretty bad. It just seems like if you’re supposed to cut your own grass, the city should cut theirs.”

Gary Cook, another resident whose home backs to Hwy. K, said the grass behind his home along Hwy. K is not his property and he wonders why he and other residents are being forced to cut something that doesn’t belong to them.

“It’s a state highway, and that should be MoDOT’s responsibility,” Cook said. “I heard the city told MoDOT not to mow it. Doesn’t our state tax take care of MoDOT?”

Cook said if the city is trying to save money, he didn’t understand why mowing once or twice is not good enough.

“Behind my house, I have a huge hunk of concrete and a wash-out area left from Hwy. K reconstruction. If my mower gets destroyed maintaining something that doesn’t belong to me, who’s responsible?” Cook asked. “Last Thursday we got a notice saying if we didn’t cut it, we’d be fined. I work 16 hours a day, I’m out there at 9 o’clock at night mowing because we’re not even given 24 hours to take care of the issue. If we’re out there with a mower and a rock hits a car and causes an accident, who’s responsible?”

Cook said in the past he would go out and cut it to keep it looking nice, but now, he said he’s being told “you’re gonna do it or get fined.”

“This isn’t right. The city starts three houses down from where I live. Are we not concerned about the county portion of Hwy. K? It looks rough,” Cook said. “I just don’t understand how we can be forced to maintain property along Hwy. K where it is dangerous. I’m not sending my son out to do it, and it’s the very last thing I want to do when I come home from a 16-hour day.”

Patricia Haines, a 19-year resident of the city, said they recently purchased a home that backs to Hwy. K, and even before she and her husband moved in, a knock came to the door, and she was told the grass behind her home was 8-inches tall and that if she didn’t mow it, she’d be fined.

“We have been harassed three times to mow that grass,” Haines said. “The slopes of the road are different. Everyone takes care of it at different degrees, and it’s an eyesore. We can’t put our kids out there to mow those lawns. It looks bad, we look cheap and it doesn’t look like O’Fallon is taking care of itself.”

Councilman Bob Howell thanked resi-dents for speaking about the mowing issue during citizen comments and said the issue is being looked at vigorously.

“Hopefully we’ll get it resolved very soon,” Howell said. “We know it is important.”

Property owners who exceed the mowing requirement receive a fine of $100 for each infraction and are charged for the city’s cost of paying someone to mow the area.

I have faced the same problems with exercise and diet that so many others have also faced. I lose then gain the same weight over and over again. I am motivated for awhile to work out and then I lose that motivation and fall back to my bad habits. I finally decided it was time to take care of myself but I knew that I needed help. I decided to look into Fitness

Together. When I started at Fitness Together 5 weeks ago, I knew that I wanted to lose weight, get fit and stay motivated. Well, I am losing weight (14 pounds so far), I can tell that I am getting stronger and all of the personal trainers are keeping me motivated. I have been pushed harder than I thought I could ever be pushed. The trainers are great cheerleaders and don’t let you quit. The one-on-one training sessions are just what I needed to get back on track for weight loss. I have a long way to go but I always have to remember that I didn’t put this weight on in a day so it is not coming off in a day either. Thanks to all of the personal trainers for your help and support. I look forward to accomplishing all of my goals.

By Michael R. SmithSaying that it would be “good for the

city” and “for the residents,” the Lake Saint Louis Board of Aldermen approved a controversial change to the Villas at Ridgepointe subdivision over residents’ objections by a 4-1 vote with Alderman Tony Zito absent.

Ridgepointe residents, who are mostly seniors, had been lobbying the board for months to prevent Kemp Homes Com-pany from changing the original subdi-vision design for duplex homes to a new plan that would allow single-family ranch, 1.5-story, and 2-story homes.

The residents fear that the multistory houses will attract families, alter the seren-ity that originally drew many of them to the neighborhood, and drive down prop-erty values.

Kemp plans to build single-family homes rather than finish the subdivision with two-family attached villas because it says market demand has shifted away from villas to detached homes.

After passing the bill several LSL aldermen thanked the residents for their participation in the process, saying that though the residents didn’t get everything

they wanted in the board’s decision, the residents influenced the plan by getting several favorable elements added to the version submitted by Kemp.

That praise wasn’t enough for some residents. “I’m steaming,” a visibly upset Pat VanThull said after the meeting. The board’s decision “will impact us tremen-dously. What I’ve seen through this pro-cess is disgraceful.”

VanThull has been an active and vocal critic of the Kemp plan throughout the decision-making process. She said the board’s decision is leading her to run for Lake Saint Louis alderman the next time elections for her ward are held.

Alderman Richard Morris, Ward 3, was the only dissenting board member on the bill, saying before his vote, “This will open the floodgates for any kind of tract homes. I’m voting a big fat ‘no.’” Later, he said, that the board’s decision “will come back to bite us.”

Kemp did provide concessions to the residents, altering the original plans so that two lots intended for multistory homes will now have ranch homes, and charging new residents a one-time $450 charge for dam maintenance.

LSL approves Ridgepointe Villas subdivision changes over residents’ objections

By Mary Ann O’Toole HolleyThe O’Fallon City Council is reviewing

a conditional use permit to allow a group home operated by Emmaus Homes to establish in the city. The home is located in the 200 block of Westridge Drive.

The O’Fallon Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the permit at its June 7 meeting and it is now under consideration with the City Council, expected to receive final approval in early July.

Emmaus Homes is a non-profit orga-nization that provides 24-hour support services for adults with developmental disabilities such as cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and autism.

Dave Kramer, CEO of Emmaus Homes addressed the council saying he hopes to better educate people about developmen-tal disabilities, dispelling any fears neigh-bors would have.

“I am representing three ladies who would like to make this their home,” Kramer said. “It is sometimes difficult for people without developmental dis-abilities to understand that these are truly single family residences. This is not a commercial business or facility.

It is their home. The services are simi-lar to in-home healthcare agencies, and the home is legally defined as a single family residence.”

Services are separate from the home-owner and the lease. This is not a request for rezoning or reclassification, Kramer said.

“Emmaus provides services that may include helping with cleaning or cooking, helping with finances and healthy choices,” Kramer said. “It is a recurring myth is that homes surrounding will lose property values. We must conform to the same stan-dards as anyone else in the neighborhood. Our job is to help our people become valued members of the community.”

Kramer said the 1,400-square-foot, three-bedroom home will have three residents.

“Sometimes it is difficult for people to understand that group homes are single family residences with services that not only provide 24-hour supervision and care for the residents similar to those of visiting nurses. Emmaus also provides oversight on conditions in the home,” Kramer said.

The City Council is expected to con-sider the proposal at its next meeting.

The Meadows at Lake Saint Louis shop-ping center has added two new stores to open in 2012. The Children’s Place and Altar’d State will complement nearly 40 upscale retailers and restaurants already found at The Meadows. The Children’s Place is planning a July opening and Altar’d State is planning to open this fall.

The Children’s Place is the largest pure-play children’s specialty apparel retailer in North America. The Children’s Place designs, contracts to manufacture and sells fashionable, high-quality merchandise at value prices. The new store will occupy approximately 3,200 square feet in the loca-

tion adjacent to New York & Company. Altar’d State is a new energetic fashion

boutique that offers a distinctive shopping experience for women interested in the latest fashion finds, the most anticipated accessories and that next great gift. Altar’d State customers enjoy personalized atten-tion in an upbeat environment that promotes confidence, civic involvement and positivity through its merchandise. The Meadows is the first location for Altar’d State in the state of Missouri and the new store will employ approximately 25 people. The location will occupy nearly 6,000 square feet adjacent to New Balance St. Louis.

The United States won its first gold medal of the 2012 London Olympics when Martin Linson’s bronze sculpture paying tribute to the Paralympic athlete won first prize at the 2012 London Olympic Sport and Art Contest. Linson became the second American artist in the past three Olympiads to win the International Olympic Commit-tee (IOC) art competition held Monday, June 11 at the IOC’s Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland

His sculpture, “Omnipotent Triumph,” was selected in the sculpture category from entries from 62 nations by an IOC jury with judges from five continents. It fea-tures an Olympian crossing the finish line in his wheelchair with his arms uplifted in a triumphant “V” for victory pose.

The 36-year-old emerging artist says that Paralympians have always been amazing to him and he wanted to show them at a point of perfection – finishing and winning the race.

“I’m shocked. I never thought I would win whatsoever,” said the modest Linson, who has begun making three more bronzes of other Paralympians. “I knew it was

something special. However, I just wanted to recognize these athletes because I felt their amazing accomplishments should come more to light.”

Linson qualified for the IOC art competi-tion when he won the U.S. Olympic Sport and Art Contest in February. The U.S. contest was conducted by the United States Sport Academy in cooperation with the Art of the Olympians and under the auspices of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC).

It was the fourth consecutive U.S. Olym-pic Sport and Art contest that the Acad-emy has overseen. The sports university has a strong tradition of supporting the arts, establishing the American Sport Art Museum and Archives (ASAMA) in 1984, which arguably contains the largest collec-tion of sport art in the world.

Linson entered the U.S. Olympic Sport and Art Contest for the second time. He fin-ished as a runner-up in the 2008 competition. Linson has a unique style in the representa-tion of the human anatomy that has brought him major commissions such as one from the President of Lindenwood University.

Linson, an Adjunct Professor at St. Louis Art Institute, Lindenwood University and owner of Linson Studios and Lighthouse Screen Printing, has other works displayed in numerous private collections.

Jack Scharr, president of Fine Art Ltd. in Chesterfield, chaired the selection com-mittee for the U.S. Olympic Sport and Art Contest and said he thought Linson’s sculp-ture of the Paralympian in a wheelchair strongly captured the theme of the IOC art contest, “Sport and the Olympic Values of Excellence, Friendship and Respect.”

“With most Olympic countries compet-ing in the event, what a wonderful thing for Linson to win first place,” Scharr said. “The news that it took first place has every-one here overjoyed.”

By Jeannie SeibertThink of it this way: 200 years ago, the

U.S. was entangled in the War of 1812 with Great Britain. On June 16, 1812 the found-ers of CitiBank opened its doors as the City Bank of New York.

Many iterations and more than a few global economic ebbs and flows later a major international banking and financial services conglomerate emerged as Citi-Group with subsidiaries located around the world – even in Great Britain.

Closer to home, its mortgage headquar-ters, Citi, dominates Progress Point Busi-ness Park in O’Fallon.

On June 16, 2012 Citi celebrated its 200th birthday by kicking off a company-wide project – 200 acts of kindness.

Employee-volunteers began work on the first of these acts, a 200-tile mosaic painting that would be a gift to a neighbor – Progress West Healthcare Center’s pedi-atric department.

On June 20, a recent pediatric patient, Calvin Murphy, 5, enthusiastically unveiled the mosaic that now enlivens the pediatric emergency reception area, a gift of cheer and comfort to other pediatric patients.

Catching onto the “pay it forward” under-current of the 200 acts of kindness, Calvin donated his collection of Thomas the Tank videos.

His mother, Mary Murphy said he’d noticed when, as a patient himself, the video selection could use some updating.

Murphy said Calvin’s attitude toward all things medical had been updated as well – 180 degrees to the better.

On the June 20 unveiling and commem-oration of Citi’s 200th anniversary, Calvin was comfortably interacting with the many adults attending the ceremony, many of whom were doctors and nurses.

“Before, if he even saw a doctor in the parking lot he freaked out,” his mother said.

After his recent hospitalization the pro-fessionals on the pediatric staff had not only healed his medical issues but put his fears to rest.

Medical Director Cassandra Pruitt, MD, practices Pediatric Hospitalist Medicine at Progress West. “Children often come to the hospital hurt or sick and often scared,” Pruitt said. “It is our number one goal to keep these children safe and healthy.

“But, we also want to ensure they are happy, comforted and back on their feet being kids as soon as possible,” Pruitt said. “With bright artwork in our emergency reception area like the employee-created painting Citi is gifting Progress West, chil-dren have something to take their mind off being in an emergency room.”

Pruitt explained that the family feeling that helped calm Calvin’s trepidations stem from the family of professionals who work with Washington University from St. Louis Children’s Hospital at Progress West.

St. Louis Children’s Hospital pediatri-cians and Progress West’s pediatric-trained nurses provide care for patients age 18 and younger in the emergency department, the inpatient area and the birthing center.

The science of treating children is an art and now art is a part of the kid-friendly décor at the pediatric emergency room thanks to the Citi volunteers who hand painted the 200 tiles of the mosaic.

“As our 200th anniversary was approach-ing, leadership and planning committees within the company reflected what was important to our organization,” said Cathe-rine French, site president and senior direc-tor, franchise management for Citi.

This “pay it forward” with “random acts of kindness” thing may just catch on.

Francis Howell

Best student publicationThe Central Focus, Francis Howell

Central (FHC) High School’s student-led newspaper, has placed in the 2012 Weekly Reader Student Publishing Contest as best student publication.

Weekly Reader’s judging panel selected five winners out of approximately 700 entries in the annual nonfiction writing and publishing contest for students in grades 3 through 12. The winners — two individual students and three student publications — were celebrated at the Student Publishing Awards Luncheon on June 5 in Washing-ton, D.C. Claudio Sanchez, education correspondent for National Public Radio (NPR), was the guest speaker.

The Central Focus began as a simple editorial which has evolved over 14 years of production into two successful scholas-tic press publications.

National Merit scholarsMatthew Bries and Nicolas Cole, stu-

dents at Francis Howell North (FHN) High School, have been chosen to enter the 2013 National Merit Scholarship Program.

Bries and Cole took the 2011 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) and qualified to enter the scholarship program. With a Selection Index score of 200 or above, Bries and Cole are among the 50,000 highest-scoring participants of some 1.5 million program entrants. Because Bries and Cole have shown outstanding academic potential, the National Merit Scholarship Corporation has invited them to be referred to two col-leges and universities in the United States in which they are especially interested. There is no charge for this College Plan Reporting Service (CPRS), which is offered solely to encourage college officials to communicate

directly with these scholastically able stu-dents about educational opportunities that may be available to them.

Of the 50,000 students being offered the CPRS service, about 16,000 will be named National Merit Semi-Finalists, rep-resenting the top scorers in each state, and approximately 34,000 other high scorers will be commended for their performance on the PSAT/NMSQT. Semifinalists and Commended Students in the 2013 program will learn of their standing in September. Semifinalists will be the only students who will have an opportunity to continue in the competition for about 8,300 National Merit Scholarships to be offered in 2013.

Outstanding teenMiss St. Charles County Shelby Stein-

graeber was crowned as the Miss Missouri Outstanding Teen 2012 on June 8.

The 17-year-old Francis Howell High School senior will represent Missouri in August at the Miss America Outstanding Teen competition in Orlando, Fla.

Miss American Outstanding Teen is the sister pageant to Miss America.

Healthy choicesBryan Middle School and Saeger Middle

School have achieved the 2012 Bronze National Recognition Award from the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. The national honor is given to showcase and acknowledge schools that have imple-mented changes to create healthier school environments.

Since the 1970s, the obesity rate has tripled causing one in three children to be overweight or obese, which has led to vari-ous health problems such as diabetes, heart disease, elevated blood pressure, increased risk of cancer and asthma. To tackle this

health epidemic and to improve the health of the nation’s children schools have worked to implement healthier school environments through nutritional education, serving healthier foods and physical education and providing physical activities.

Bryan and Saeger middle schools fol-lowed the seven step process within the Healthy Schools Program, which gave instruction and insight about developing a wellness council and policies; serving multi-dimensional meals that provide students with the proper amount of daily calories and nutrients; eliminating unhealthy beverage and snacks from vend-ing machines and lunch lines; introduc-ing skill-based instruction and curriculum to teach students about important health behaviors such as good nutrition and phys-ical activity; implementing an employee wellness plan for staff; allowing at least 45 minutes of physical education for a more active lifestyle; and encouraging overall student wellness.

Both schools will receive an exclusive invitation to the Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s annual recognition event to celebrate their achievement in the fall of 2012. Additionally, each school will receive a Bronze National Recognition Award package, which will include a large indoor banner, posters to have around the school, a certificate of recognition, and other celebratory items.

New principalRyan Day will be the new principal at

Fairmount Elementary, effective July 1. He will replace former Fairmount principal, Casey Godfrey.

Day, who has lived in the Francis Howell community for more than two years, said he is looking forward to his new position.

“I look forward to building relationships with a wonderful new community and continuing the success that Fairmount has achieved. I look forward to us all working together to ensure that all of our students achieve at high levels,” Day said.

Day has 10 years of experience in educa-tion. He served as the assistant principal, in the Ritenour School District, at Marion Ele-mentary during the 2008-09 school year as well as the assistant principal at Kratz Ele-mentary during the 2009-2012 school years. Prior to his administrative experience, Day taught in the North Wood R-IV Elementary School District from 2002 to 2008.

Day earned his doctoral degree in edu-cational leadership from Maryville Univer-sity. He has a masters of science degree in educational administration and a bachelor of science degree in elementary education, both from Southwest Baptist University.

Fort Zumwalt

BullyingAfter watching a television show about

bullying, Progress South Elementary stu-dent, Samantha Hilyard, developed the Progress South United Kids Against Bul-lying (UKAB).

The organization is intended to empower any and all students committed to eradicat-ing bullies. Counselor Mandy Arbogast created a four-part training program that allows students to recognize the impact and respond to the damages that bullies create.

Samantha was presented with a proc-lamation at the Fifth Grade Awards Cer-emony to recognize her for her efforts.

McDaniels receives scholarshipKathryn McDaniels, recent graduate of

Fort Zumwalt North High School, received a $1,000 St. Johns Bank Excellence Schol-arship to help fund her first year of college.

Qualified applicants must be planning to enroll full-time at a community college, four-year college or university in Missouri, Illinois or Kansas, and plan to major in banking, finance or business.

To date, St. Johns Bank has awarded more than $49,000 to high school seniors through the annual scholarship program.

Spor ts

By Jonathan DuncanAbout the only thing that can beat the St.

Peters Senior Legion baseball team these days is Mother Nature via a rain out. Opponents in District 9 have had a very tough time knock-ing off Post 313 on the diamond of late.

St. Peters showed to be very strong during last week as Post 313 racked up wins over Daniel Boone 7-2 on June 19 and then on June 20 over the Central Spartans 9-0.

“We lost one game early to Washington and then once we got into our district play, for some reason, the hitting, pitching, and everything just started clicking,” said St. Peters manager Marty Clements. “It really has been fun to watch.”

Against Central (0-7) at City Centre Park, St. Peters got the offense going early with a run in the first.

Then in the top of the third, Post 313 struck again for more runs as Brendan Klein keyed a three-run rally with a two-run single and a 4-0 lead on Central starter Jake Schneider. Sam Oates single home two more runs in the fifth and St. Peters added a pair of runs to finish out a four-run inning that put Post 313 in a com-fortable position against the Spartans.

That action left St. Peters starter Tim Miller plenty of breathing room to work with as Miller pitched seven strong innings to pick up the win. Miller was virtually flawless as the right-hander struck out 12 batters and allowed only two hits. Miller improved to 3-1 with the victory.

“Tim just threw real well,” Clements said.” He had good command and really moved his pitches well.”

Klein and Oates had two hits each and Oates drove in three runs.

A day earlier, at City Centre Park, St. Peters (7-2, 7-1 in district play) had their bats rattling against Daniel Boone as well as Post 313 prevailed in that contest.

Two runs in the second inning and three runs in the third inning helped propel St. Peters to the winner’s circle. Eric Keling powered the bats for St. Peters with a 3-for-4 day and two runs scored.

Keling has been a major factor at the plate in a 7-1 start in district play for St. Peters. Heading into the final week of June, Keling, who attends, Maryville University, is hitting a ridiculous .591 at the plate and is giving opposing pitchers nightmares.

“Keling is leading the league in hitting and is among the leaders in on-base per-centage and walks,” Clements said. “He’s just having an incredible season and we’re enjoying watching him.”

Caleb Brittingham struck out eight and walked just one in eight innings to pick up the win.

Pitching has also been a driving force for St. Peters as Miller and Brittingham have combined on the mound for five of the club’s wins so far.” Tim Miller is 3-1 and only that first game got away from him and that’s because the team didn’t hit, Cle-ments said. “Tim and Caleb Brittingham have really been good for us.”

St. Peters finishes out its district regular season schedule with games against the West Jaguars June 27 and July 5 and then a July 6 finale against Washington.

20 I cover story I JUNe 27, 2012MID rIvers NeWsMAGAZINe NeWsMAGAZINeNetWorK.coM

By Amy ArmourTwo Chambers of Commerce may net-

work into one later this year. The Lake Saint Louis/Dardenne Prairie

Chamber of Commerce and the Wentzville Chamber of Commerce are considering merging.

Gena Breyne, president/CEO of the Lake Saint Louis/Dardenne Prairie Cham-ber of Commerce, recently announced that she would be leaving the chamber to spend more time with her family. The chamber’s Board of Directors met to set goals and determine a future path for the growing chamber.

“The Board feels that it is in the best inter-est of our members to set a path to grow into an even stronger, more diverse and vibrant organization,” states Shanna Palans, chair-man of the board, Lake St. Louis/Dardenne Prairie Area Chamber of Commerce in an e-mail to chamber members. “In order to accomplish that, the board is proposing a merger with the Wentzville Chamber of Commerce.”

Both chamber boards voted in favor of the merge, but the general membership will have the opportunity to vote on whether to approve the change. The two boards have proposed the new name to be Tri-City Chamber of Commerce, though it is not been chosen yet.

Thirty-nine percent of the current mem-bers belong to both the Lake Saint Louis/Dardenne Prairie and Wentzville Chambers. Of the approximately 250 current members of the Lake Saint Louis- Dardenne Prairie Area Chamber of Commerce, 100 of those members are also current members of the Wentzville Chamber of Commerce. The combination of the chambers would bring membership to about 550, and meetings would be rotated throughout the three cities.

“Both chambers have been collaborating together for the past two years on proj-ects like the Back to School Family Fair, after-hour events, and ribbon cuttings,” said Tony Mathews, president/CEO of the Wentzville Chamber of Commerce. “These successful collaborative events have proven that both chambers’ memberships complement each other and work to benefit their members well. It is our belief that our successful track record working with the Lake Saint Louis-Dardenne Prairie Area Chamber demonstrates the future success of a merger.”

The merger will also allow both cham-bers to share resources. Mathews said the

merger would include many benefits for its members, including: marketing of mem-bers to an increased area; cost savings for members with dual membership; promo-tion collaboration within coverage area; and events will have increased attendance.

The Wentzville Chamber Office would serve as the main location, but the LSLDP office would remain open in Dardenne Prairie City Hall as a satellite office. The new dues structure would be similar to the current dues in each of the individual orga-nizations.

Mathews would stay on as the president/CEO of the new organization, as well as two part-time office staff.

“The boards would both merge together for the first year during the transition process,” Mathews said. “We feel that this way ensures that both memberships leadership is respected and retained.” The chambers merger would not be the first in St. Charles County. The St. Charles and St. Peters chambers of commerce merged in March becoming the Greater St. Charles County Chamber of Commerce.

“It has been great…Members have loved it as well – attendance is up and they like having more people to network with,” said Scott Tate, CEO/president of the Greater St. Charles County Chamber of Com-merce. “As a result of the merger, in terms of number of members, we are the region’s second largest chamber – second only to the RCGA.”

Currently the Greater St. Charles County Chamber of Commerce has 910 members.

“The beginning of the year is a time we usually lose the most members,” Tate said.

“With that and the fact that there were nearly a 100 that were members of both chambers, we expected our membership to remain flat for the first few months, but anticipate our organization to grow the rest of the year.”

Tate said the merge allowed each cham-ber to share its resources and expenses.

“The benefits are operational savings for the organization and savings to our mem-bers – especially those who were members of both organizations,” Tate said. “Another benefit is a stronger voice when it comes to advocacy.”

Tate said there are also benefits that each chamber offered that can now be passed on to members of the other chamber, includ-

ing the Office Depot program, prescription drug card, and member Web pages.

“Most recently, we launched a mobile app for Android, Apple, and Blackberry – StCharlesCo2Go – and a new mobile site is www.gstccc.mobi,” Tate said.

The St. Peters location closed in late May and the Greater St. Charles County Chamber is now fully operating out of the St. Charles office.

Tate said the organization has not seen any negative impacts with its merger.

“The merger has been talked about numerous times over the past 30 years among different chamber boards,” Tate said. “Our members do business all over the county and saw the benefits. With some still struggling, it was the right thing to do at the right time. The biggest concern our members had was the loss of their com-munity identity, but I feel we have done a pretty good job of addressing those con-cerns.”

Tate said he reached out to Mathews to offer any insight as its merger is still fresh in his mind.

“From my perspective, the process was much more tedious than I had anticipated – filing all the legal documents with the state, getting a new logo, updating the Web site, educating our members, etc.,” Tate said. “We still have members of our chamber that don’t realize St. Charles and St. Peters chambers merged. It is an ongoing process. We are also working with a local PR/Mar-keting Firm to help give us focus on how to brand ourselves and what our message should be.”

Meanwhile, the O’Fallon Chamber of Commerce with its 515 members has no plans to merge with any other chamber.

“Basically, I don’t see the need or benefit for our businesses or the O’Fallon Chamber as an organization (to merge),” said Erin Williams, president/CEO of the O’Fallon Chamber of Commerce. “The O’Fallon Chamber of Commerce is continuing to grow with now over 500 members. While we have not had to increase our member-ship dues in almost 10 years, we are con-tinuing to add new benefits and services to help our member businesses grow and support our community.”

The O’Fallon Chamber has three full-time staff members, and participation is up 25 percent at networking functions.

In July, the O’Fallon Chamber is sched-uled to close on the purchase of a building, and expects to conduct business there in the fall.

“Our O’Fallon Chamber is in a strong fiscal position. We value the dollars that our businesses invest in this organization and use their money wisely and efficiently to continue the mission of the chamber,” Williams said. “Of course, we always wel-come businesses to join our chamber no matter what their zip code is; however we prefer that our members join the O’Fallon Chamber because they see the value and features offered for our businesses rather than simply because of redistricting.”

Mathews said membership reaction of the two chambers that are considering merging has been extremely positive.

“We are excited about (membership) input and suggestions as we move through this process because it will help us create a stronger unified chamber,” Mathews said. “Both boards will be hosting an Open House to give all members an opportunity to meet with the board members and ask any ques-tions they may have prior to voting.”

Prayer

ST. JUDE NOVENA May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and pre-served throughout the world now and forever. Sacred Heart of Je-sus, pray for us. St. Jude, Worker of Miracles, pray for us. St. Jude, Help of the Hopeless, pray for us. Say prayer nine times a day; by the 8th day prayer will be answered. Say it for nine days. Then publish. Your prayers will be answered. It has never been known to fail. Thank you, St. Jude. SF

NOvENA TO ST. CLAIRELight a blessed candle. Ask St. Claire for 3 favors, 2 impossible & 1 for money. Say 9 Hail Marys for 9 days. Promise publication. God of Mercy, you inspired St. Claire with the love of poverty. By the help of her prayers, may we fol-low Christ in poverty of spirit and come to the joyful vision of your glory in the Kingdom of Heaven. We ask this through our Lord Je-sus Christ., Your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen. O Glorious St. Claire, God has given you the power of work-ing miracles continually, and fa-vor of answering the prayers of those who invoke your assistance in misfortune, anxiety, and dis-tress. We beseech you, obtain for us from Jesus, through Mary, his Blessed Mother, what we beg of you so fervently and hopefully. If it be for the greater honor and glory of God and for the good of our souls. Amen. Please hear my Novena St. Claire. I believe in the power of prayer and miracles. Thank you St. Claire! ET
