Vol. 36, No. 8

by Don Corrigan The new, old age of vinyl has arrived. Rolling 33 rpm turntables, album covers and long-play records are back. So, be round or be square — the vinyl revival is here. Sure, LPs were once considered obsolete and scratchy. But in the new world of instant downloads — compact discs are dying, cassettes are Stone Age artifacts, and oldfashioned vinyl records ... they are back in vogue with a vengeance. “The renewed interest in vinyl seemed to happen about five years ago, and it’s pretty incredible,” said Joe Schwab, owner of Euclid Records at 19 N. Gore Ave. in Webster Groves. “I am seeing it all year-round, but at Christmas it’s crazy. “The kids get a turntable, and they are in here all January buying albums,” said Schwab. “Of course, the boomers are in here all the time seeking out stuff from their golden age of music.” cont. p. 8

Webster’s Assistant Fire Chief Retires by Mary Shapiro

Honoring his more than 36 years of service to the city, Webster Groves officials and firefighters, during a city council meeting on Aug. 20, celebrated the career of retired Assistant Fire Chief John “JJ” Anderson. Mayor Gerry Welch called 61-year-old Anderson, a resident of Shrewsbury, “an integral part of this community who has contributed to the fire department’s wonderful reputation.” She praised his work with residents and the business community. Webster Groves Fire Chief Mike Capriglione presented Anderson with a special retirement award in the shape of a firefighter’s helmet. “Throughout his 36 years, JJ has proven himself time and time again to be an excellent firefighter, leader and a professional in every sense of the word,” he said. Anderson started as a firefighter with the department on July 8, 1977, became certified as an apparatus driver operator in 1978, was promoted to captain in 1991, then to battalion chief in 1997 and finally to assistant chief /fire marshal in 1999. Anderson, who retired effective

me over the last 36 years, and my retirement letter said I hoped the city appreciated what I’ve done as much as I’ve appreciated what the city has done for me.” He and his wife of 33 years, Mary, have two children, Kevin, 31, and John J. Jr., 29, two grandchildren, and another on the way. “Part of what I’ll do in retirement is to spend time with my grandchildren and relax for awhile, playing golf and traveling,” Anderson said. “It was a long haul for me, and I felt it was time for me to go, though I’m leaving a great department. I never thought of leaving Webster Groves for any other department. I really love the city.” His children went through the Webster Groves School District. Kevin is a physical education teacher at Parkway North Middle School. John Jr. is following a family tradition, as a firefighter/paramedic for the Maplewood Fire Department. Anderson’s own father, Frank Anderson Jr., was a firefighter with the University City Fire Department from the 1950s through the 1970s. “I’ve been proud to serve Webster Groves for so long,” Anderson said.

HOW TO REACH US

email: mary@bufe.com

Why More Kids Don’t Study Engineering It is a scientific fact that husbands and wives don’t always agree 100 percent on everything. Take, for example, the coursework their children take in college. I was recently reviewing the options my son, Sam, a college sophomore, had for the fall semester when I came across one I urged him to take. It was called “Mindful Knitting.” Our first question today comes from my husband, who will no doubt read the previous sentence and ask: Q: Are you kidding me? A: No, I am not. Q: What is “Mindful Knitting?” A: It’s a semester-long honors seminar that explores the parallels between knitting and meditation. Plus, when it’s over, you leave with a darling scarf and three hand-knit wash cloths. Q: Wait. It’s possible to KNIT a wash cloth? A: I know. That seems weird to me, too. But you have to remember: this is college. It’s a time of experimentation. Q: So, basically, you were pushing this class on your son as a way to guarantee yourself a homemade Christmas present?

A: Not just that. Mindfulness is a contemplative practice designed to bring the practitioner into the present moment. By stilling the mind and unifying our energies on one task, it creates a healing calm. Q: You’re just copying from the course description, aren’t you? A: Ommmmmmm. Q: What? A: I’m sorry. I was just practicing some Mindful Writing. Q: So what would your husband like your son to study? A: He would like to see him in classes similar to the ones he took in college. Courses with solid names like, you know, Accounting. Intermediate Accounting. For a change of pace, Advanced Accounting. Q: And what’s wrong with that? A: Nothing, per se. I’m just saying that the Accounting Department could boost its enrollment if it offered a more attention-grabbing curriculum. Q: Such as? A: I’m thinking: “Elvis Presley and the Amortized Cost of Fame.” Or, “Zombie Accounting: Strategies for Tax Season Sleep Deprivation.”

Q: Would you want your daughter to take classes like those someday? A: Maybe. All the articles, however, say we should be encouraging our daughters to study engineering. But I’m afraid that’s going to be a hard sell, too. Q: Why is that? A: Have you seen the engineering classes? Q:  You mean, like, “Introduction to Infrastructure?” A: Don’t forget “Pavement Management.” Honestly, if you want to excite a kid about engineering, you’re going to have to promise to teach her more than the fundamental concepts of reinforced concrete theory. Q: You’re quoting from the course description again, aren’t you? A: Someone has to. Q: What would you name a class like that to make it more attractive to students? A: “Better than Ted Drewes: The Secret to the Perfect Concrete.” Q: Not bad. A: And they say there’s nothing you can do with an English major.

Aldi To Present New Plan On Sept. 9

P & Z recommends plan to aldermen

by Dennis Hannon

by Linda Jarrett

The proposed Aldi grocer at Olympic Oaks Center will come back to the Des Peres Board of Aldermen on Sept. 9 with a favorable recommendation by the planning and zoning commission. DDR Corporation, owner of the center, 12109 Manchester Road, wants to build a 20,000-square-foot Aldi in the space formerly occupied by Michael’s, as well revamp the center. On July 16, the board sent the proposal back to the commission because of, as Mayor Rick Lahr said, “a litany of concerns.” One concern was that nothing had been done about the Blockbuster building on the site, which is supposed to be demolished to make way for a Fifth Third Bank. At that meeting, DDR representatives said they still had an active lease with the owners of that property and that they had “no control over their taking that building down.” The board will hold a public hearing on Sept. 9 regarding a revised site plan. “Aldi representatives will be at that meeting making a complete presentation as if it were their first public hearing and highlighting the changes and improvements made since the last public hearing,” Mayor Rick Lahr said. The changes involve building elevations, a new landscape plan and additional language that states Aldi

$302,000 deficit expected at mid-year

Owners of Olympic Oaks plan to revamp center and add Aldi grocer in the former Michael’s space. file photo by Diana Linsley would not be able to open until the Blockbuster building on the site is demolished. An amended bill on the revised site plan was read at Monday’s meeting. It could be voted on at the Sept. 9 meeting depending on questions from the board. Sept. 9 Public Hearings In addition to the Aldi’s proposal, the board of aldermen will hold four other public hearings on Sept. 9: • A bill establishing the yearly tax rate for residents at $0.00. Mayor Rick Lahr noted that this was the 18th year the city has done this, and saves residents between $250 and $300 a year. • A bill pertaining which would allow aldermen to take office at age 18 instead of 21.

• A bill allowing first responders to participate in municipal elections. City Attorney Kevin O’Keefe said the Missouri General Assembly “seems to have forgotten why these rules were made in that they protect the public from thinking that they have to take employees’ side in town politics. He added that the rules were passed to help employees maintain their jobs by removing them from that political environment. • A bill establishing criteria about removing and appointing chiefs of police. “Currently the chief serves at the pleasure of the board,” Harms said. “This eliminates the board’s ability to replace the chief of police without specific cause.”

Shrewsbury’s revenues and expenses through the first half of 2013 are on track with budget projections, Financial Director Danielle Oettle reported Tuesday to the board of aldermen. So is the city in good financial health? “Yes and no to that question,” said Mayor Felicity Buckley. “We’re trending toward budget, (but) if you look at that budget, there’s a deficit projected.” A shortfall of $270,000 was projected when the budget was approved in December. Mid-year data indicates that could grow to about $302,000, across all city funds, according to Oettle’s report. For the past two years, the city has had a pleasant surprise in its year-end financial figures, as revenues exceeded expectations and expenses came in under budget. However, no such good tidings appear to be in store this December, Oettle reported. The city’s first-half revenues were about $2.99 million this year, which is about $2,300 less than in 2012, Oettle said. Expenses were approximately $3.82 million, which is $187,000 more than the first six months of last year. Sales tax revenue, the city’s largest income source, strengthened in the first half of this year, rising about $78,000 to $1.27 million, Oettle’s figures show. The city’s sales tax revenue was cont. p. 10

Dissension Rules At Board Of Aldermen Meeting by Linda Jarrett

Board manages to approve a donated funds policy Despite a contentious two-and-a-half hour meeting, the Rock Hill Board of Aldermen on Aug. 20 managed to conduct some city business. One such item was the approval of a policy concerning funds that are donated to the city for events such as the fall festival, but the 3-2 vote did not come easy. On Aug. 6, Mayor Daniel DiPlacido recommended a policy that called for using city funds before donated funds for city-sponsored events such as the fall festival. City Treasurer Sandy Stephens presented the policy used by the city of Kirkwood that calls for the use of donated funds first, then city funds. DiPlacido’s version would have leftover funds put in a special fund to use at the following year’s event. Stephens said that while both policies were fine, DiPlacido’s version would add another “accounting layer.” At the Aug. 20 meeting, when DiPlacido read his resolution, Board Member Bob Weider distributed copies of the resolution presented by Stephens. DiPlacido commented that Stephen’s resolution was not on the agenda. Weider responded that he had asked for it to be submitted. Board Member Mary Wofford said they had two choices on the donated funds policy. “You don’t have two choices,” DiPlacido said, referring to the fact that his resolution was the only

one on the agenda. “You can either pass this (the resolution he read) or defeat it.” DiPlacido said he had concerns about donations given to the city primarily for the fall festival. “One is the ability to demonstrate to our sponsors that their donated funds are used only for the fall festival,” he said. “Last year they were swept into the general fund. “The second concern is the ability to carry over any surplus of donated funds to the next fiscal year. Having a reserve makes a big difference in being able to plan this event,” he added. The board and mayor then engaged in a lengthy, sometimes heated debate, on the relative merits of the two policies and the city’s ability to put what funds to what use and when. The city has a $13,500 budget for the fall festival; $7,500 comes from city funds with the remaining coming from sponsors. Scherry said the budget does not take into account overtime by staff spent on the event. Finally, the board passed 3-2 the resolution initiated by Stephens. Board members Ed Johnson and Graber opposed it. Planning Commission As part of the meeting, City Planner Jennifer Yackley gave a report on the recent planning and zoning commission meeting. She noted that its started 30 minutes late because there was no quorum. Many residents who wanted to speak left because of time constraints, she reported. The commission has been short a member since Art Korte died in March. The mayor has the duty to appoint a new commissioner.

Weider commented that it would help to have another commission member appointed. “People wanted to speak and had to leave because of time commitments,” he said. “That is unfortunate because all boards and commissions have attendance problems,” DiPlacido said. “The difference, I would say, between the board (of aldermen) and planning and zoning and other volunteer commissions is that they serve without compensation, unlike you, sir,” DiPlacido said to Weider. “And you’ve missed three board meetings since I’ve been here.” DiPlacido added that he would have a resolution at the second meeting in September to appoint a commission member. Planned Development District The board held a public hearing on adding a third category in the planned development district for commercial developments that would allow the planning and zoning commission more control over these developments. Currently, the district has two categories, residential and mixed use. While there is a commercial district, the commission does not have as much control over those projects. Under the planned development district, it could have more input on issues, such as lighting, landscaping and parking. This change was added as a preliminary step to EZ Storage’s proposal to build on a 2.5-acre site at 9715, 9719 Manchester Roads, 1020 Leonard, 9714, 9716, 9706 Stanley, collectively called the Stahl property.

Great Harvest: “Here To Stay”

122 W. Lockwood, 2nd Floor, St. Louis, Mo. 63119 email: mailbag@timesnewspapers.com

Next Up In Missouri: Banning Martian Law As far as I know, no Muslim has requested that Missouri or any other U.S. state institute Sharia Law. Missouri’s law addresses a non-existent, phantom problem, and stinks of prejudice. (Perhaps next year the legislature will outlaw animist law, French law and Martian law – all about as likely to be proposed in Missouri.)

If we are in danger of any religious ‘law’ interfering in Missouri, it would be Roman Catholic, particularly pertaining to women’s health and reproductive options. That doesn’t seem to bother many legislators. With apologies to Rep. Kirkton and Sen. Sifton, the Missouri legislature should stop wasting our time and money

with their grandstanding on fake issues like Sharia Law and unconstitutional gun laws. Legislators should address our real problems, including jobs, healthcare and education. Joann Stephan Webster Groves

Sharia Law Imposed In Missouri - Really? I was shocked by three letters in the Aug. 23 Webster-Kirkwood Times that advocated overriding Governor Nixon’s veto of the anti-Sharia bill. I know xenophobia exists in this country, but these letters hit a little too close to home. How many ways are these letters, and the bill they support, wrong? First, they seem to hyperventilate about the impending imposition of Sharia Law in Missouri. Really? That that might ever happen, and that it would be upheld as constitutional? You’re joking, right? One letter writer: “I can’t remember requests to change our laws to appease one group.” I agree: No one has seriously asked for Sharia Law to be imposed on Missouri residents. However, you are asking for our laws to be changed to marginal-

ize one group: Muslims. How about a law that bans imposing the practices of any religion? I could get behind that law – at least it isn’t discriminatory – except it’s already in the U.S. and Missouri constitutions. But, wait, there’s worse. In the letter, “A Lesson On The Sharia Law,” that writer extols “our laws which are based on Christianity.” How many times does the Christian nation myth have to be debunked? There is absolutely no basis for believing that, except having heard it so often it “must be true.” The Ten Commandments are usually viewed as the basis of Christian law (actually Mosaic Law, which pertains to Judaism, Christianity, and, yes, Islam). Of the 10, only two appear in our legal system – not killing and not stealing. Bearing false witness is only illegal if you are

under oath (a lucky thing for that letter writer). And do you actually believe the two are uniquely Christian? Killing and stealing have been enjoined by every successful civilization, predating Moses. Dozens more commands are attributed to God, or more recently, Jesus, none of which is part of American law. Most are unconstitutional. Please remember that “false witness” commandment before propagating Christian-nation rubbish. And maybe write the editor to complain about our legislature wasting time on stupid, grandstanding appeals to abounding ignorance and hate. They make us strong contenders in the race to the bottom. Go MO! Eric Ressner Rock Hill

Has The Onion Taken Over Times Letters Page? I looked at the Aug. 23 Mailbag section of the Webster-Kirkwood Times and thought at first that The Onion (a satirical publication) had surreptitiously taken over our beloved local paper. There were three letters decrying Sharia Law and its possible insidious insinuation into the laws of this great nation and, closer to home, to the laws of Missourah. Of course, like the religious rulings of the Jewish Beth Din or the Catholic Tribunal, that Sharia Law applications in this country would have no effect on

civil law is irrelevant to the tinfoil tribes. That is unless the Reynolds Wrap Warriors would also ban the Jewish and Catholic courts as well. (Do they have secret information about how those entities have corrupted Missourah?) Hey, the Jihadists are at the gates. We gotta stop them before they impose their sorta-religion on us here in the Show-Me State! Our legislature must protect us and override the governor’s veto! Of course Mr. Patrick Guilfoy in his letter would also be on the bad side of

those above patriots when he decries the educational system, and specifically, the “ban on God and religion in our schools.” I suppose he would be OK with vocal prayers to Jesus, YHVH (Yahweh) and the Buddha – and Allah – in the R-7 system – right? Wouldn’t that just be a toehold for the Muslims? Better watch out, Mr. Guilfoy. Thomas F. Maher Kirkwood

Rep. Stream’s Vote Puts Children In Danger Kirkwood Rep. Rick Stream voted in favor of HB 436. May I remind Rep. Stream that he swore to uphold the entire Constitution – not just the part he likes? HB436 is not only unconstitutional, but the amendments to the bill are highly dangerous, one of which is to lower the firearm ownership age from 21 to 19 years old. Even if the main part of the bill is thrown out due to being unconstitutional, this amendment will stand! Lowering the gun ownership age is dangerous. We had yet another 20-yearold walk into an elementary school recently armed with an AK47 and an intent to kill. Some people compare owning a weap-

on at that age to joining the military at that age. I’d like to point out the differences. First: To join the military one must be deemed not only physically fit, but also mentally and psychologically fit. Secondly, if one is found fit, they go to a restricted area away from civilians to undergo intense, thorough and lengthy training. Thirdly, after receiving proper training those weapons are used in war zones under direct supervision of a commanding officer. In the military, those weapons are not in the hands of young, unsupervised, possibly mentally ill, people near elementary schools, grocery store parking

lots, churches and shopping centers. To compare military use to civilian use is really to throw facts, real world evidence and logic out the window. I’m a mom and I’m concerned about my child’s safety. If you are too, contact Rep. Stream at 573-751-4069 or Rick. Stream@house.mo.gov. If he doesn’t listen and votes against protecting our kids, I suggest we vote him out of office. I’m part of the group, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. We plan to hold politicians like Rick Stream accountable when they plan to endanger our children. Rebecca Morgan Webster Groves

Immigration Reform Isn’t Easy, But Is Solvable As a former professor at St. Louis Community College at Forest Park, I’ve seen first hand the contributions that recent immigrants make to classroom discussions and the seriousness with which they study English as a second language. As a college newspaper adviser, I watched students from Australia, Bosnia, South Africa, South Korea, etc., work together to put out an award-winning newspaper. Given this experience, I am bewil-

dered by the U.S. House of Representatives’ reluctance to pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Immigrants enrich our culture and add vibrancy and texture to the quilt of many colors that is America. Twentyfive percent of the engineering and tech companies started recently in the U.S. had at least one foreign-born founder. As Max Levchin, one of the founders of PayPal and an immigrant himself, said recently on the Charlie Rose Show, “It’s

no fun solving problems that are easy.” Immigration reform isn’t easy, but it’s solvable if we put aside our xenophobia and concentrate on the rewards it can bring – deficit reduction, a strengthened Social Security system, new jobs, to name just a few. And an extraordinary quilt. Kathe Dunlop Kirkwood

There seems to be some confusion with Local Harvest Grocery which, sadly, closed its Kirkwood location several weeks ago and Great Harvest Bread Company in Kirkwood. We are here to stay. In 2012, our Kirkwood bakery, located at 125 W. Argonne Drive, was awarded second place in top sales for a new bakery by our franchise. In 2013, we have consistently topped those sales numbers every month. This is possible, of course, only because of our fantastic customers and staff. Please help us spread the word and clear up any misconceptions. Judy and Tom Honigfort Owners Great Harvest Bread Company Kirkwood

The Rodeo Clown Problem Carl P. Zey misses the point of the rodeo clown incident in his Aug. 23 letter. There’s no problem poking fun at the president. I’m sure President Obama has a thick enough skin and is a big enough man to take a joke. The problem is that state money was used to promote a political view. CNN is not funded by the government. The state fair rodeo is. If there’s one thing I understand about our friends across the aisle, it’s they are very concerned about government spending. Unfortunately, it seems in this case they are willing to look the other way when taxpayer money is used to promote their political views and to further divide the state, rather than bring people together. William B. Howells Webster Groves

Dislike Deer? Don’t Plant Lilies We live in southwest Kirkwood and have a robust deer herd. Frequently we have anywhere from three to six does, fawns and bucks in our back yard. They are nibbling on our ivy and grass. They seem also to like Japanese honeysuckle. They do us no harm. Our suggestion to the folks in Sunset Hills and Town and Country is to relax, enjoy and don’t plant foliage that the deer like to eat such as day lilies and hostas! Bob Lischer Kirkwood

Thank Barber For The Broom I wish to make a correction to the July 19 letter written by Carol Kempka - Michenfelder - Illert of Webster Groves. She stated that the broom was borrowed from Kenary Florist, when, in fact, the broom was borrowed from Charlie the barber who was there watching the parade with his lovely wife. Thank you Charlie for allowing us to return the corner back to you the way we found it. John Kennebeck Shrewsbury

From The Editor’s Desk

Can You Pass A Smell Test? by Don Corrigan

corrigan@timesnewspapers.com

From Webster to Wash U. to SLU, hundreds of freshmen moved into new living quarters on St. Louis college campuses this past weekend. On Monday, many of them were sitting in media literacy classes. Media literacy is defined as “an array of competencies enabling people to analyze, evaluate, and create messages in a variety of media modes and genres.” Sounds academic. I readily admit that I was a skeptic when the media literacy movement began. After all, do you really need college courses to learn how to listen to a radio, watch TV or troll the Internet to figure out what’s up? I’m a believer now. We are bombarded by tons of messages daily on legacy media, never mind the new social media. As a newspaper editor, I’m amazed at the gullibility of many as they receive messages that are, in many cases, custom-designed to fit their biases rather than reality. This happens on both the left and the right. We get plenty of letters to the editor that are simply talking points or posts that have gone viral on the Internet. For example, after the terrorism of Sept. 11, 2001, we got our share of “9/11 was an inside job” letters. The conspiracy theory on the WTC towers collapse was that only well-placed, controlled demolition allowed them to implode and fall straight down. Jets crashing into towers were for show. More recently, we’ve had email from readers challenging us to expose

the real story in the Trayvon Martin shooting. As a local, community paper, is that our job? In any case, emailers insist Martin is “a gangsta,’ tattooed thug” and not the “skinny, innocent boy” in the mainstream news media. This conspiracy is based on fake Trayvon photos making the rounds on the Web. The fake photos are of a husky rapper, covered with tattoos, named Jayceon Terrell Taylor. It’s not an actual photo of Trayvon Martin. Media literacy requires that you check things out, before you start forwarding these conspiracy theories to friends and newspaper editors. At a recent media literacy seminar, I had a chance to listen to John McManus, author of the book, “Detecting Bull.” McManus says he has the formula for “identifying bias and junk in print, broadcast and on the wild Web.” He says a media literate person will use the SMELL test: – S stands for Source. Find out who is providing the information. –M is for Motivation. Why are they telling me this stuff? –E is for Evidence. Do they have real evidence for their assertions? –L is for Logic. Do the facts offered logically compel the conclusions? –L is for Left out. What’s missing in the information that might change the interpretation of subject matter? Whether you’re reading this paper, the New York Times or your favorite Web blog, consider the McManus test for truth. Check it (sniff it) out.

Popularity Of Old Vinyl Records On The Rise from page 1 Schwab has been in the record business for almost 35 years. Twenty years of his sales were in the Central West End. Then he moved his store to Old Orchard in Webster Groves, and now he’s moved his music marvels to the store in Old Webster on Gore where he has been since May. “This business has been a roller coaster from day one for me,” said Schwab. “When the CD generation came along, I thought that was the end of vinyl except for collectors. Then the MP3s and downloads came along and really hurt us. “But now there’s a real craze for vinyl,” noted Schwab. “We have young people coming in. We have emptynester baby boomers who have more time to listen and find the stuff they loved when they were younger. And we still have the serious collectors.” One dramatic signal that vinyl is back involves how many music groups are now cutting their music in vinyl – rock, jazz and classical. A growing number of gold albums, including Beatles, Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan, have had vinyl reissues in recent years as well. According to the New York Times, more than a dozen record pressing plants have found new life in the United States. Companies like Rainbo Records in Canoga Park, Calif., are turning out upwards of seven million LPs annually. Amping Up The Audio Barry Hufker has been teaching audio recording for several decades at Webster University. He said the program has never discarded all of the old turntables of yesteryear, and now students are taking a renewed interest in what they can do. “I know there is a mythology that vinyl has more depth and warmth than digital,” said Hufker. “I am not

Vinyl LPs run from A to Z, ranging from Alice’s Restaurant to Zodiac Mindwarp, from Arlo Guthrie and Fiona Apple to Frank Zappa and Jay-Z. photo by Diana Linsley sure I buy into that. I do think that people like the ritual of buying an album cover with great artwork, holding the plastic record, getting the needle down on a track and watching the spin – this just doesn’t happen with CDs and MP3s. “For me, it’s still about the music,” added Hufker, who chairs Webster’s Audio Aesthetics and Technology Department in the School of Communications. “Quite frankly, the music was better in the 1960s and 1970s than it is now, and that’s an added plus for the return to vinyl from those times.” Hufker said there are tradeoffs with every medium used to record audio. He said with vinyl, you really need to remember that the sound is just recorded in one long scratch. And then you begin adding your own scratches, depending on how careful you are with your collection. Scratches have distorted some of the vinyl in Hufker’s own music collection, but he still has some pristine memories from his younger years of

buying his favorite music in 45s and LPs in pressed plastic. “I have everything I ever bought,” said Hufker. “I still have my first 45 that I bought when I was 5. It was Elvis doing “You Ain’t Nothing But A Hound Dog. My first long play was Beatles ’65. I still spin them.” Hufker’s audio program has more than 150 majors. He said a lot of students come to audio recording because of their music interest, just as he got interested in it from listening to music at an early age. “Audio is about a lot more than music,” said Hufker. “We teach audio design for live theatre, audio production for video, special effects audio in post-production, audio maintenance and management. We teach audio wherever you can find it.” Anything You Want The audio you will find on vinyl on North Gore includes the greatest hits of Leslie Gore as well as Grand Funk Railroad. Vinyl LPs run from A to Z, ranging from Alice’s Restaurant to

Zodiac Mindwarp, from Arlo Guthrie and Fiona Apple to Frank Zappa and Jay-Z. “Part of what we do is offer cash for old vinyl for resale,” said Schwab. “Much of the time, people will come in and spend the dollars they got for their old stuff, for other vinyl records that we have available. “One of the things we found moving to Old Webster is that we are offered older stuff like Montovani from grandpa’s old record collection,” said Schwab. “We can’t do anything with that. We will always take Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Beatles, Frank Zappa, because we can move that.” Generally, Schwab said the store tries to offer 30 percent to a seller of what they intend to resell the records for. He said that policy is usually a winner, but sometimes it can be a loser for Euclid Records. He does have some big win stories. For example, a flawless 45 by The Corvettes, a band that hit it big from 1977 through 1981. That solitary 45 sold to a collector for $4,500, according to Schwab. Euclid Records does assist local bands in getting some vinyl cut to help launch music careers or to simply provide a nostalgia piece for some older ears. “I have a friend in Salina, Kansas, with Quality Record Pressings, who is doing well,” said Schwab. “But I help arrange for local bands to get their vinyl records cut at United Record Pressing in Nashville, Tenn. They had record cutting parties for Elvis back in the 1960s.” Schwab keeps plenty busy with music and promotions — doing some things with LouFest, Old Webster Jazzfest and an October outdoor sidewalk sale. He goes to Nashville for cutting vinyl deep tracks and hits the Big Easy for visits to a Euclid Records store serving the New Orleans area for three years now.

Eliot Unitarian Chapel Names Barbara Gadon Lead Minister

Rev. Barbara Gadon

Eliot Unitarian Chapel of Kirkwood has named Rev. Barbara Gadon as its new lead minister. She is the first female to lead the 550-member community. Gadon said she

plans to build on the rich tradition of the church, which was founded in 1959. The church is located at 100 S. Taylor Ave. “Newcomers will find that this is not your ordinary church. We are an important resource for progressive people looking for community and for an opportunity to make a difference,” Gadon said.

Gadon, known for insightful, often funny, always inspiring sermons, comes from serving the First Unitarian Church of Chicago. “My passion for the church right now is to minister to the different generations with their different perspectives, including Millennials, Gen X-ers, Boomers, Silents, and even a few still here from the World War II

generation,” Gadon said. Since her earliest days in the seminary, Gadon has been a leader of social justice issues, including LGBTQ. She is married to Robert Gadon, an instructor of Iyengar yoga, garden designer and web designer. Gadon’s first sermon at Eliot is on Sept. 8. For more information, visit eliotchapel.org.

WILD WILD WEST

Old Webster Jazz Mike Brown Is Greentree Grand Marshal & Blues Festival Annual event set for Sept. 21

Kirkwood Chief Administrative Officer Mike Brown, alias Muddy Trails, is the 2013 Greentree Parade Grand Marshal.

Kirkwood’s Chief Administrative Officer Mike Brown will serve as this year’s Greentree Parade Grand Marshal. Brown has been with the city since 1981. The 2013 Greentree Festival will be held on the grounds of Kirkwood Park on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 13, 14 and 15. The parade kicks off at Kirkwood High School, 801 W. Essex, on Saturday, Sept. 14, at 10 a.m. It will wind its way through historic downtown Kirkwood and end up at Kirkwood Park. Dave White, former Kirkwood Parks and Recreation director, is this year’s master of ceremonies and

Alleviating Knee and Hip Pain

announcer for the parade. The theme for the festival and parade is “Wild Wild West,” which makes Brown a cowboy-inadministrator’s-clothing. Brown will be wearing traditional 1860s western garb in the parade on Sept. 14, and he will be carrying a lasso which, he says, he knows how to use. The week prior to the festival, Party in the Park, a family event, will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Lions’ Pavilion in Kirkwood Park. For more information about the parade, Party in the Park or the Greentree Festival, visit greentreefestival.com.

The 2013 Old Webster Jazz & Blues Festival will be held Saturday, Sept. 21, in Webster Groves. Live music will be played throughout the day on the festival’s two performance stages, on Allen and Gore avenues. A diverse line-up includes Marquise Knox, Javier Mendoza, Willie Akins and Montez Coleman, among others. The Webster Groves High School Jazz Band, Webster University Jazz Ensemble, plus the winner of the Webster’s Got Talent competition will also take the stage.

Shrewsbury’s Mid-Year Budget Review hit hard by the 2008 recession, dropping for three consecutive years before bouncing slightly in 2011, according to Oettle’s data. The rebound was short-lived, however, as proceeds dropped again in the first half of 2012, coming in slightly below $1.2 million – 6.3 percent below collections in the first-half of 2011 and 22 percent below those of the high-water year of 2007. Oettle’s report suggests a deficit at year-end of about $195,300 in the general fund and $107,000 in the capital improvements fund. The general fund figure could change for the better if construction projects that are in the planning stage progress to the point of issuing permits this year instead of next, Buckley said. The city’s budget projects revenue of about $300,000 from issuing licenses and permits.

Parking Restrictions In other action, the board voted to restrict parking near the corners of St. Vincent and Murdoch avenues. Parking will be prohibited within 40 feet of the corner, except on the west side of St. Vincent and the north side of Murdoch, where the ban will extend to 60 feet. The city will not post signs, but paint the curbs to alert motorists to the restrictions, said Public Works Director Tony Wagner. Kain Drive Repairs The board also approved Wagner’s recommendation that a bid by Leritz Construction be accepted for $15,925 to repair and resurface a 400-foot stretch of Kain Drive. The repair will restore pavement damaged during a construction project at Kenrick Seminary, Buckley said.

Landscaping For Commercial Sites The board gave a first reading to a city landscaping ordinance for commercial properties. The ordinance sets down requirements for landscaping, including specifications of acceptable tree species, setbacks from streets and sidewalks and requirements for maintenance and irrigation. “This will have a real effect as things change along Watson Road,”

Buckley said. “It will be really nice to have some landscaping requirements along there.”

Assistant Fire Chief John Anderson retires after 36 years

Retired Assistant Fire Chief John Anderson, center, looks on as Mayor Gerry Welch reads a proclamation in his honor at the Aug. 20 meeting of the Webster Groves City Council. With them are, from left, Council Members Anne Tolan and Ken Burns, Fire Chief Mike Capriglione and Council Members Debi Salberg, Greg Mueller and Kathy Hart.

Through the years, he’s battled hundreds of fires and provided leadership on fire safety to the city of Webster Groves. He’s watched his children grow up and have children of their own. And he’s waged two battles with cancer, successfully. After 36 years with the Webster Groves Fire Department, on July 31 Assistant Fire Chief John Anderson hung up his hat for the last time. “It’s time,” he said. The son of a University City firefighter, Chief Anderson joined the Webster Groves Fire Department on July 8, 1977. He was certified as a driver operator in 1978, promoted to Captain in 1991, promoted to Battalion Chief in 1997 and promoted to the position of Assistant Chief/Fire Marshal in 1999. Along the way, he has earned certifications for Fire Instructor, Fire Investigator, Fire Inspector and was a member of the Metro Fire Marshals Association and the International Association of Arson Investigators. “Throughout the 36 years that Chief John Anderson served on the Fire Department John has time and time again proven himself to be an excellent firefighter, leader and professional in every sense of the word,” said Webster Groves Fire Chief Mike Capriglione. “His 36 years of service speaks volumes to his dedication and commitment to the City of Webster Groves, the Fire Service and the

firefighters he worked with. John will be missed and we wish him all the best in his retirement.” During his years of service, Chief Anderson has worked many noteworthy fires, among them an intensive house fire on Atalanta Avenue near Avery Elementary School and an arson fire at the high-rise Continental Telephone Building in Clayton (Webster Groves provided mutual aid to the city of Clayton for the multi-alarm blaze). No one was injured in either fire. “I’m proud to say, this is the only job I ever would have done,” he said. “I’ve met so many good people in the fire service, and in the City of Webster Groves. I take pride in our department, and in fire service in general.” In November, Chief Anderson and his wife, Mary, will celebrate their 33rd wedding anniversary. One of their sons, John, is a firefighter in Maplewood; the other, Kevin, teaches physical education. “Between Mary and my kids, they’re the gleam in my eye,” he said. It’s a safe bet that, along with enjoying a few rounds of golf, Chief Anderson will host plenty of visits from his grandkids at the family’s Shrewsbury home. “I’m so blessed with my kids and their wives and our grandkids in our lives,” he said.

Webster Groves to pursue EPA Green Power community status

Webster Groves is proud to announce participation in an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sponsored Green Power Community Challenge (GPCC), joining an elite group of municipalities across the United States that are boosting green power use in their communities. In a joint effort with Ameren Missouri Pure Power and St. Louis-based Microgrid Solar, Webster Groves will soon launch the GPCC to encourage private businesses and homeowners to make a commitment to green power through either the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) or the installation of solar power. Green energy comes from resources that are continually replenished and do not create carbon emissions, such as sunlight, wind, tides or waves. A renewable energy

North Webster celebration The public is invited to a celebration from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7, at Provision Living, 45 E. Lockwood Ave., to recognize the 25th anniversary of the North Webster Neighborhood Coalition and the 20th anniversary of North Webster, A Photographic History of a Black Community by Ann Morris and Henrietta Ambrose with photographic restorations by John Nagel. A meet and greet reception will be held from 3 to 5 p.m., with live music, refreshments and various historic artifacts to view, including the late Mrs. Ambrose’s typewriter. A program follows at 5 p.m. that will include a proclamation, presentations by Webster Groves Mayor Gerry Welch and Jane Porchey of the Webster Groves Historical Society, and honors to Cindy Neu, St. Louis Suburban Assistant Principal of 2012; Lee Moss of the Hair Salon; and Edward J. Johnson, director of Webster-Rock Hill Ministries. Entertainment and refreshments will be offered. Please make reservations by Tuesday, Sept. 3 by calling (314) 9187300.

Salute to the Waves

Mayor Gerry Welch applauds as members of the Webster Waves Swim and Dive Team look over a proclamation in their honor at the Aug. 20 meeting of the Webster Groves City Council. Despite some personal challenges and tragedies, dive team members age 11 and older placed third overall at a Conference meet, while the 10 and younger team placed first. The swim team went undefeated throughout the dual meet season, for the fifth year in a row, and took first place at the Conference meet.

certificate (REC) represents the environmental attributes and avoided emissions of the production of one megawatthour of green energy. The EPA Green Power Community (GPC) status recognizes a city’s effort to reduce its carbon footprint and protect the environment; increases community pride and community engagement in conservation efforts; and will earn Webster Groves National recognition as a U.S. EPA Green Power Community. Under the program, Webster Groves Challenge goal will be to make green power 3 percent of citywide energy consumption. The Challenge will be led by the City’s Sustainability Commission, Ameren Missouri Pure Power and Microgrid Solar, who together will work to educate the community about green power options. As a first step the City itself will make a commitment to purchase Renewable Energy Certificates in amounts that qualify it as an EPA Green Power Partner. Watch for details on the GPC Challenge kick-off event, planned for October, on the City’s website, in the WebsterKirkwood Times and in Community Connection. For more information, please visit mogpc.com/webstergroves or contact GPC Team Leader Kathleen Engel, KEngel@3degreesinc.com.

Missouri’s wine country beckons as the grapes ripen and leaves turn from green to lustrous shades of gold and red. Fall is the perfect time to discover this part of the state with its rolling hills, beautiful countryside, quaint German towns, plus award-winning wines. Missouri has long been noted for its wines – as far back as the Civil War. Towns such as Augusta, Defiance, Dutzow and Washington are among the small-town gems of Missouri Wine Country, a scenic 50mile swath straddling the Missouri River. Wineries along the picturesque Missouri Weinstrasse (scenic Highway 94 wine road) remain top producers, garnering critical acclaim. But they also attract tourists, who enjoy sampling locally-manufactured vintages, touring wineries, strolling through historic districts and browsing the shops. Augusta The small town of Augusta boasts the first recognized wine district in the United States. Just 30 minutes west of St. Louis, Augusta and the surrounding area is also home to picturesque farms, lush vineyards, breathtaking scenery, as well as antique shops, small boutiques, restaurants, unique historical sites and bed and breakfast inns. On Sept. 20 and 21, travel the Harvest Road to the 10th annual Harvest Festival. Help celebrate the artists, the artisans, the wine and the life in Augusta’s Wine Country. For a schedule of all the events, visit www. augusta-chamber.org. Start a new holiday tradition this Christmas with the 31st Annual Christmas Walk. A corridor of over 1,500 glowing luminaries will welcome visitors on Fridays, Dec. 6 and 13, 5 to 10 p.m.

While in the area, visit Augusta’s newest winery, family-owned Noboleis Vineyards (www.noboleisvineyards.com), and one of its oldest, Montelle Winery (www. montelle.com). Each has breathtaking views and extraordinary wines. Defiance Chandler Hill Vineyards (www.chandlerhillvineyards.com) and Sugar Creek Vineyards and Winery (www.sugarcreekwines. com) call the small town of Defiance home. Both wineries feature live music on Saturday and Sunday afternoons through October. Defiance was once home to Daniel Boone, who spent his final years in a stately, four-story limestone house overlooking Femme Osage Creek. Boonesfield Village, which is open to the public, features that house and over a dozen relocated and restored 19th-century buildings. For details, call 636-798-2005 or visit www.lindenwood.edu/boone.

1833. Many of the town’s historic structures remain today. Henry Ribbe and his son Anton helped put Washington on the map as the “Corncob Pipe Capital of the World” when they began making corncob pipes in 1869. Fall is the perfect time to experience Washington at its annual Fall Festival of Arts and Crafts at Main and Elm streets, Sept. 28 and 29. This is one of the town’ myriad events which it hosts throughout the year. For more information, visit www.washmo.org. A short drive from Washington is Marthasville where Deutsch Country Days will bring early German history to life on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 19 and 20, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The living history weekend will be held on the historic Luxenhaus Farm, located at 18055 State Highway O, 2.5 miles northeast of Marthasville. For tickets and more information, visit www.deutschcountrydays.org.

Dutzow Music fills the air at Blumenhof Winery on South Highway 94 on Saturdays and Sundays. With its architecture and ambience, the winery’s German heritage is evident. It is located in the historic village of Dutzow, Missouri’s oldest German settlement, which was founded in 1832. For more details, visit www. blumenhof.com.

Perry County also boasts Missouri’s newest wine trail. Kimmswick In 1859, Brunswick, Germany, native Theodore Kimm founded the town of Kimmswick, along the mighty Mississippi River. Today, the small town, just 25 miles south of St. Louis down I-55, features quaint craft and specialty stores, such as Mississippi Mud Gallery & Gifts; restaurants, such as the popular Blue Owl Restaurant; and a variety of family-friendly events. The town’s largest celebration is its annual Apple Butter Festival on Oct. 26 and 27, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. While the aroma of cooking apple butter fills the air, visitors can check out the 500 to 600 food, drink and craft vendors – and sample and buy apple butter. Also enjoy lots of live entertainment, including Bluegrass and dulcimer music. Ste. Genevieve Step back into the world of an 18th century French colony, while enjoying the friendly atmosphere and charm of smalltown America at Ste. Genevieve. Tour internationally-recognized historic homes, shop unique specialty stores and browse art galleries, taste wines and savor the local cuisine Much of the town’s charm and ambiance is due to the remarkable preservation of the original Colonial settlement. Its narrow streets and fenced gardens surround some of the most significant 18th-century architecture in the nation. Established on the west bank of the Mississippi River, the village of Ste. Genevieve was settled in the late 1740s about two miles south of its present location. Among “must-see” historic attractions

The past and present come together at the Southern Hotel, c. 1805, in Ste Genevieve. file photo by Diana Linsley are the circa 1806 Jacques Guibord House, the Ste. Genevieve Museum, and the circa 1792 Louis Bolduc House and gardens. To celebrate its history, the small town hosts numerous events throughout the year, including Rural Heritage Day on Saturday, Oct. 26. Spend a historic day re-living life in rural middle America circa 1850-1860 with demonstrations from plowing to quilting, games, old-fashioned treats and more.

History & Wine Trail Off I-55 from page 15 While Germans settled most of area around 1839, the town of Brazeau was organized in 1819 by Scot-Irish settlers from North Carolina. A visit to Brazeau is like stepping back to another era. Hemman Winery is located in the old General Store, which was built around 1850. Other buildings, including a bank, church and post office, date back to the 1800s. The town of Frohna was established in 1839 by Lutheran immigrants from Saxony, Germany, who were seeking religious freedom. To learn about these early pioneers, tour the Saxon Lutheran Memorial in Frohna, a 30-acre outdoor history museum set in a log cabin village. The memorial is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places and consists of 15 buildings, seven of which are historic log

The wineries are all family owned and operated, but each has its own unique appeal, according to Bonnie Hemman, coowner of Hemman Winery and president of the group. “Together we offer a diversity of experiences, settings and wines, from dry and semi-dry varieties to sweet and fruity offerings,” she said. The group’s next event will be its second annual “A Taste of the Holidays” on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 9 and 10, from noon to 5 p.m. Each of the six wineries will feature a fine wine paired with a tasty holiday treat, ranging from appetizers to desserts.

Small town has big draws with Superman, Fort Massac, casino Metropolis, Ill., located at Exit 37 on Interstate 24 at the southernmost tip of Illinois, is the official home of Superman. The town proudly honors its favorite son with a 15-foot bronze statue in the middle of Superman Square.

The site also has the archaeological outline of the 1757 French fort. History will come alive at the fort on Oct. 19 and 20, beginning at 10 a.m. each day, at the 40th Annual Fort Massac Encampment. Visitors can see what life was like in the 1700s and early 1800s. The encampment will feature the thunderous boom of cannons, live music and an assortment of foods and activities.

it pays tribute to Illinois’ rich frontier history. Historical re-enactors and skilled craftspeople representing French, British and American will demonstrate the skills and lifestyles of early area residents.

While in Effingham, visit My Garage Museum at Mid America Motorworks to see rare and one-off Corvettes and air-cooled Volkswagens from the private Yager family collection. Mike Yager founded Mid America in 1976. The museum also boasts thousands of pieces of automotive collectibles and memorabilia – from cars to neon signs and gas pumps. The museum is free and open seven days a week. Other attractions in Effingham include the Cross at the Crossroads, Firefly Grill on the shores of Kristie Lake, the intimate Tuscan Hills Winery and Lake Sara. North of Effingham off I-57 is beautiful Lake Shelbyville, an Army Corps of Illinois lake featuring 200 miles of shoreline, camping, boating, hiking and more. Lake Shelbyville is renowned for great fishing. It was selected by Bassmaster Magazine as one of the best bass lakes in Illinois. For an up close view of the scenery, put on hiking shoes and hike some of the over 50 miles of developed multi-purpose trails on public lands.

Arthur, Ill. with the motto, “you’re a stranger only once,” is in the heart of Amish Country, located 10 miles west of Interstate 57. Arthur, as well as Arcola, Tuscola and Sullivan are home to about 4,500 conservative, rural Amish who strive to “be not conformed to this world.” Since 1865, when three Pennsylvania Mennonite families first settled in the area, it has become known simply as “Amish Country.” There, horse-drawn buggies are nearly as common as automobiles on the roads of Central Illinois. Their presence, combined with their more progressive “English” neighbors, create a haven for tourism – an intriguing cultural blend of the old and new. Arthur, known for its friendly, down-home atmosphere welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Its vibrant shopping district is chock-full of Amish-owned or operated shops selling handcrafted clothes, custom cabinetry, home furnishings and unique gifts. Browse these items and take the time to visit with shopkeepers to learn more about their lifestyle. Most Amish-owned businesses are closed on Sundays. In Arthur, visitors won’t find any chain restaurants. Instead locally-owned eateries serve lovingly prepared comfort food. For a special treat, stop by Dick’s Pharmacy at 118 S. Vine, an old-fashioned drugstore with a soda fountain which serves milk shakes, malts and homemade drumsticks. Arthur hosts numerous festivals and events throughout the year. Fall is no exception with a lot of happenings from the Amish Country Cheese Festival over Labor Day to the mid-November Amish Country Christmas Kickoff Weekend and Lighted Holiday Parade. The three-day annual Amish Country Cheese Festival during Labor Day weekend, Aug. 31 - Sept.2, features a parade, food, games, crafts, races, entertainment, and of course, lots of cheese! Two, 300-pound wheels of fresh cheddar will be sliced and served free with crackers to festivalgoers. Add a corn dog or walleye sandwich or other tasty fare from the many vendors for a “healthy” festival meal.

BodyBrite’s collection of services includes hair removal for the entire body, along with two types of skin treatments.

Vianney Sets Sights On 300th Win Team faces Francis Howell North Aug. 30 by Rick Frese

A new day is dawning for St. John Vianney High School football in 2013. The Paul Day era opens at 7 p.m. on Aug. 30 against visiting Francis Howell North. Day’s first victory as Vianney’s coach will coincide with the Golden Griffins’ 300th win. Vianney, which started in 1960, enters 2013 with a 299-231-5 record, including 5-6 in 2012. One statistic Day and his players hope to end this season is Vianney’s 13-game losing streak in the Metro Catholic Conference (MCC). Vianney’s last league win came on Oct. 9, 2009, when the Golden Griffins downed CBC, 48-35. Since 1997, when the MCC was formed, the Golden Griffins’ league record is 14-50, which includes a 1-27 mark since 2006. The team has won two of the 16 MCC titles (2002, 2005). “We’ve had a great off season,” Day said. “We’re excited about our chances.” The league losing streak appears destined to end. Vianney returns eight starters on offense and six on defense. Among the offensive starters back this year is four-year starting running back Markel Smith. Smith, the MCC’s 2012 Player of the Year, gained 2,520 yards on 287 attempts and scored 30 touchdowns (28 rushing) last season. Smith, playing for his third coach, will benefit from Day’s spread offense, where he figures to be the main weapon. He has de-committed from signing with the Missouri Tigers, and is considering his many Division I options. Day said Smith has shown why he has a shoebox filled with offers. “He’s obviously a very talented

guy,” Day said of the 5-foot-10, 215pound speedy senior. “He’s a dynamite player.” Smith has a talented group surrounding him. Left tackle Justin Summers (6-5, 285), another Division I prospect, left guard Ryan Rasnic (6-1, 270) and right guard Connor Borisenko (6-2, 265), all seniors, return to the line. Junior tight end Kyle Markway (6-4, 235), also a Division I prospect, is back. Senior Nick Allgeyer (6-1, 190) and sophomore Ethan Staskewicz (5-11, 185) return at wide receiver. Senior quarterback Garrett Staskewicz returns for his third season as the starter. He completed 59 of 128 passes for 888 yards, eight touchdowns and had six interceptions last season. “Garrett has done a real good job,” Day said. “He’s really made good decisions.” New starters will be senior center Al Bialczak (5-10, 270), junior right tackle Lynn Studdard (5-11, 215) and senior wide receiver Michael Lynch (6-1, 175). Day will run a 4-2-5 defense. The returning starters are Rasnic at defensive tackle, junior Jordon Hardwick (6-4, 220) at defensive end, senior Matt Jansen (6-0, 190) at linebacker, Zach Roseman (5-8, 160) at free safety and seniors Chad Brown (5-9, 150) and T.J. Valenza (5-7, 145) at cornerback. Markway gets the nod at defensive end, with sophomore Ben Stratman (5-8, 225) at defensive tackle, junior Spencer Peterson (5-9, 215) at middle linebacker, junior Nick Hebenstreit (5-8, 180) at strong safety and senior Tanner Dallas (5-9, 185) at safety. “It’s definitely a different group. They’re more physical, they’re faster,” Day said. “We just have to execute on Fridays. We can’t wait to get the season started.”
