Pair Of Court Cases Pending In Vianney Light & Sound Systems

Kirkwood Police Chief Jack Plummer led his department, and the community, through some of the most difficult times in the city’s history

by Dennis Hannon

The legal wrangle surrounding St. John Vianney High School’s right to use the $235,000 light system and accompanying public address loud speakers it installed on its athletic fields 18 months ago now has bifurcated to two wrangles in two venues – state court and federal court. Splitting the cases doesn’t mean anything will happen any sooner, however. “It’s a long process,” said Vianney President Mike Loyet in a recent interview. “Our legal team said we should just sit back and be patient.” Though any legal proceeding can take a sudden turn, as of now there is no hearing scheduled in either court at least until approximately this time next year, said Kirkwood City Attorney John Hessel. Hessel said Kirkwood requested that part of the case be sent to federal court, since Vianney is claiming infringements upon its constitutional rights under the First Amendment – that protecting freedoms of speech and religion. The school is arguing that restrictions

Talk to Kirkwood Police Chief Jack Plummer about his retirement plans after 40 years of police work, and he will start talking about baseball. He has a grandson. He wants to take that young boy to the ball game. Plummer also wants to talk about his growing up near the old Sportsman’s Park and seeing the Cardinals play there. It was a great time to be a boy when Stan Musial, Red Schoendienst and Bob Gibson played professional ball in his very own neighborhood. “All the boys in my neighborhood were going to grow up to be Cardinals, including me,” said Plummer. “Players parked their cars on Grand Avenue, and we would walk with them to the stadium. They were going to work. We walked to the stadium with them.” Plummer never made it to working with the Cardinals at third base, as he had once planned. This Kirkwood Police Chief June 5, he retires after 40 years of Jack Plummer work in law enforcement, which includes almost two decades as the

police chief for the city of Kirkwood. As chief, Plummer saw Kirkwood through some very difficult times. The 2005 murder of Sgt. William McEntee. The 2008 shooting spree at city hall which took the lives of city officials and two more police officers. The murders are the elephant in the room as you talk about Redbirds, Cubs and Royals with Plummer. You know the loss of Kirkwood officers is a part of his career story as chief, and they need to be talked about. But for now, you just want to keep it going – talking about baseball and Plummer growing up near North Grand Avenue. “It was so hot some summer nights, I would just sit on my windowsill at home gasping for air,” said Plummer. “When there was cheering before all the lights went out at Sportsman’s Park, you knew the Cardinals won. If it was quiet, you knew they lost. “I got pretty close to what was happening at the stadium and I knew how to get game tickets,” Plummer added. “I had a teacher in high school who said if I could get him a World’s Series ticket, he would get my own ‘tickets’ for missing classes removed and forgiven. He lived up to that deal. “All of us boys at the old Central High School thought we were pretty cool, if we had connections cont. p. 10

More Teachers To Be Added For Fall Term District replenishing teaching staff after passage of Prop K by Jaime Mowers

Kirkwood will have more teachers and smaller class sizes when students return to school in the fall thanks to the passage of Prop K last month. The 46-cent property tax rate increase will generate roughly $5.8 million a year for the district. Roughly $1.2 million of those funds will be used to add back several of the teaching and staff positions that have been cut in the past year and a half. The district cut 25 teachers, 24 support staff positions and three administrators after voters

defeated a 78-cent property tax rate increase in November 2015. The passage of Prop K will now allow the district to hire up to 18 full-time teachers and instructional supports to address enrollment increases and larger class sizes. “It really makes a big difference,” said Cindi Nelson, interim director of Human Resources. She said determining how and when positions are added has been tiered with teachers first being added in areas where current class sizes are over district guidelines. Nelson painted a picture of what that difference will look like at Robinson Elementary School. Prior to the budget cuts, 19 students were in third-grade classrooms at Robinson.

That number jumped to 27 students per classroom last year when a section was cut due to the reduction in teaching positions. “With the passage of Prop K, we can now add a section back (of third grade at Robinson Elementary) and there will be 20 to 21 students in each class, so it really does make a big difference,” Nelson said. Staffing will also be stepped up for the ATLAS program at Kirkwood High School, which became another area of critical need after the budget cuts. While research has shown the best class size in an alternative learning setting is 8-10 students, in 2016-17 the ATLAS program saw class sizes of up

Traffic Concerns Along Geyer Resurface After girl struck by car on May 12, residents want more safety measures by Dennis Hannon

It might be a case of back to the drawing board for the Kirkwood City Council in search of a solution to the troublesome and dangerous mismatch along South Geyer Avenue, where a two-lane street carrying more than 10,000 cars a day is closely abutted on both sides by a residential neighborhood. The issue – thought to be solved last year – was emotionally reopened at the council’s May 18 meeting. A number of South Geyer residents came to ask for more safety enhancements in light of a near-tragic accident there on May 12. A 13-year-old girl was struck by a car while crossing Geyer to reach her home on Oakshire Lane. She escaped grievous, likely fatal injury, by adroitly avoiding being pinned under

the oncoming automobile, her father Charles Mitchell told the council. “Had she not taken action for herself, she would be dead.” Kirkwood’s reputation for being “so walkable and pedestrian friendly, I would say is completely and utterly false when it comes to our community,” Mitchell said. The accident was entirely preventable had actions been completed to take the second sidewalk further down South Geyer, Mitchell said. Last October the council ordered that a crosswalk with a pedestrianactivated set of flashing yellow lights, with accompanying warning signs, be installed across South Geyer at Windsor Lane. The order followed months of complaints from area residents, along with controversial experimental stop signs on the street, beginning Dec. 7, 2015. The improvements included an extension of the sidewalk on the east side of Geyer south from Geyer Forest Lane to the crosswalk at Windsor Lane. The injured girl’s home is on

Oakshire, about 200 feet farther south. The way to fix this is to install a stop light at Windsor in place of the yellow warning lights, and extend the sidewalk on the east side of Geyer all the way to the city limit, said Andrea Zimmerman, the South Geyer resident whose protests in 2015 opened the issue of traffic safety on her street. Her views were reiterated by several other speakers. Speeding and distracted driving, endemic to this part of South Geyer, compound the problem, Zimmerman and several other speakers said. They thanked police for recent enhancements to their traffic patrols, but asked for more. Zimmerman related an incident in which she stood at the Windsor crosswalk, pointing energetically at the flashing yellow warning lights, as a driver cruised through at about 50 mph, looking at her and blithely smiling. Mayor Tim Griffin said the council and city staff will reopen consideration of traffic issues on South Geyer.

Shrewsbury

Board To Study Regulations For Airbnbs An Airbnb is in the city, unbeknown to officials by Dennis Hannon

The Shrewsbury Board of Aldermen has learned that an Airbnb is operating within the city. “We have one in Shrewsbury,” Buckley said at Tuesday’s work session. “I found out about it when a guest at (an upcoming family) wedding told me they were staying there.” It was news to some board members, but no one was shocked. Airbnb has become a hot topic in nearby municipalities. Buckley apparently is of two minds on the subject. “When my husband and I travel, we use Airbnb,” she said. “I don’t know if I want to live next door to one.” Buckley’s objections involve a commercial hostelry operating amid

single-family residences. “If I was going to move into a house and found the neighbor was running an Airbnb, I would not move in,” Buckley said. “I do know that residents have their strong feelings. They want their zoned neighborhoods to be strong family neighborhoods. They don’t really want a business next door.” The Airbnbs “are businesses; they are completely unregulated at the moment, at least by the city. When we have renters, when one renter leaves, before another one comes in, we go in there and inspect. There’s nothing like that going on here, because we don’t even know that they’re there,” she added. Board Member Mike Travaglini was concerned that the city might impose

regulations that infringe on property rights. “How’s this different than a house?” he asked. “It just gets to be touchy when you start encroaching on property rights.” Board Member Rick Steingruby said he had received some calls from constituents who suspected something like an Airbnb was going on. “It isn’t seen in a positive light,” he said. The board agreed to study what neighboring municipalities, such as Webster Groves, are doing. Buckley said she wasn’t sure where Shrewsbury’s new Airbnb is located. The company’s website shows one on Lansdowne Avenue just west of Shrewsbury Avenue. However, the write-up says it’s in Webster Groves.

WGHS Choral Director Absent Since April 7 District won’t give reason due to personnel laws by Jim Merkel

For the parents and students who knew him, Scott Kinworthy was always there for them. So, when the highly-acclaimed Webster Groves High School choral director suddenly wasn’t there, people started talking. About 45 of them – students, graduates and parents – came to Monday’s Webster Groves Board of Education meeting to ask why Kinworthy disappeared from school this spring. The mystery deepened after Don Vieth substituted for Kinworthy at the high school spring choral concert on May 9. Board members and administrators politely listened at the board meeting and said laws about personnel prohibited them from saying anything. “He’s been out since April 7, and it is a personnel matter,” Board Spokeswoman Cathy Vespereny said after the meeting.

Michele Condon Named Interim Superintendent The Kirkwood School District has named Nipher Middle School Principal Michele Condon as the district’s interim superintendent for the 2017-18 school year. Condon, who has been the principal at Nipher Middle School since 2008, will begin her oneyear position as interim superintendent on July 1, 2017. The district Condon announced its decision earlier this week after Tom Williams attended his final school board meeting as superintendent. Earlier this year, Williams announced his unexpected plans to retire in June, saying he wanted to have more time to spend with his family. The Kirkwood School District has hired Hazard, Young, Attea and Associate to assist in the search for the next superintendent. Kirkwood School Board President Darnel Frost said he’s confident in the board’s decision to hire Condon as the interim superintendent. “Dr. Condon’s knowledge of our school community, experience mentoring principals and leading various district-wide initiatives during her tenure in Kirkwood will help to ensure we maintain our focus on student achievement,” Frost said, noting the board interviewed several individuals for the position. “We are fortunate that Dr. Condon is available to lead our school district as we continue the search for a superintendent.”

43 Feet & Risin,’ Mama

by Don Corrigan

corrigan@timesnewspapers.com

“How high’s the water, mama?” Johnny Cash sang in 1974. The scary answer: “Five feet high and risin’.” The late, great Cash should have seen our flooding Meramec River, between Kirkwood and Fenton, earlier this month. He could have easily sung, “43 feet high and risin’.” Cash would not have been singing about losing his bees and the chickens roosting up in the willow trees. Cash could have sung about losing the interstates and a stiff wind blowing waves over Olde Towne Fenton. As we learned during our last 100 year flood, just about one year ago, the disaster is far from over after the water recedes. The cleanup and the costs pile up, even as the sandbags are unpiled and trucked away to yet another disposal site. A major work party to remove debris and to address flood damage is planned for Kirkwood’s Greentree Park and Simpson Lake County Park on Saturday, June 3. Operation Clean Stream in Kirkwood is asking cleanup volunteers to meet at 8:30 a.m. at the

picnic shelter in Greentree Park. Operation Clean Stream’s motto for the post-flood cleanup is: “Stay flexible and go with the flow.” That’s because the lightning, wind and heavy rain may not be over for 2017. A lot of frustrated people don’t want to stay flexible and “go with the flow.” They want answers. They want to know why it’s flooding again? Why were the highways topped again? Is this climate change at work? Could that proposed Meramec Dam in the 1970s have spared us this pain — if it had not been canceled? An article in our Webster-Kirkwood edition last week featured an expert on wildflowers who talked about her past opposition to the Meramec Dam. A letter writer this week takes a swat at her for opposing the dam, which she says could have stopped the rising water and its misery, so – “enjoy the wildflowers to the fullest.” Could the planned dam have made a damned dime’s worth of difference? Not so, according to Bob Criss with Washington University’s Department

of Earth & Planetary Sciences. Criss says the dam siting area was “Swiss cheese” and unsuitable for building. “Knowledgeable geologists recommended against the site,” said Criss. “The area, now Meramec State Park, is riddled with caves. It is difficult to grout up such ground, making catastrophic dam failure always a possibility. Some flood control.” Criss also can point to any number of dammed watersheds that have not been rendered immune to flooding. That’s especially true with our more frequent freakish downpours. Scientists with National Climate Assessment link our increasing Midwest downpours to rising global temperatures. A warmer atmosphere holds more water vapor leading to higher volumes of precipitation when the storm clouds roll in. Add climate change to commercial development in floodplains and you get a perfect storm: “How high’s the water, mama? Eighty feet and risin’.”

Will Continue To Support Kirkwood Schools We purchased a home in Kirkwood because of the school district. We have never regretted that decision. The Kirkwood schools have always delivered. Our three children received a stellar education that prepared them to be successful, well-spoken, broad-minded adults. I have invested 26 years as a teacher in Kirkwood schools and have been

extremely proud to say that I teach at one of the best school districts in the country. Teachers are honored and supported by the Kirkwood community. Parents of children who attend Kirkwood schools know that the children are taught innovative programs, with compassion by dedicated professionals who feel revered by the families they serve.

For this reason we will support the Kirkwood Schools for as long as we live in Kirkwood – it is what supportive citizens do to pay back the people who make our community one of the most sought-after communities in which to live. Mary Meihaus Kirkwood

Our American flag is the banner proudly carried into battle by our courageous men and women representing

our families, freedom and country. They hold our flag in the highest esteem. They love our flag. As Americans we need to show our appreciation, respect and honor for those who have contributed and sacrificed mind, body and life for our freedom to fly our flag — not only over Me-

morial Day weekend, but every day of the year. I look forward to our friends, neighbors and communities letting our veterans know we care. We thank you. Dory Poholsky Kirkwood

Doesn’t Blame Wagner For Missing Meeting I commend the Webster-Kirkwood Times staff for their senses of humor and irony in running the letters of Mr. Paul Gordon and Ms. Krista Taves, one above the other, in the May 19 issue. Mr. Gordon castigates Rep. Ann Wagner for not attending a meeting his group had scheduled and for her saying that his group was only interested in “yelling at those who disagree with them.”

Ms. Taves, who attended the meeting Mr. Gordon’s organization held, then proves Rep. Wagner’s point by “yelling” at her in print. Ms. Taves accuses Rep. Wagner of “a weak moral center,” stripping no less than “24 million people of health insurance” and causing “thousands of premature deaths.” Wow. Now there is a basis for rational discussion and a desire to hear different ideas. Killing “thousands” of people? Clearly, this is an open mind

eager for constructive dialogue. Ms. Taves is wrong on many points about the American Health Care Act, which I doubt she has read, but the salient point about her rant is the vitriol and thinly-veiled hate. Why Rep. Wagner, who has reported death threats, should want to meet with Ms. Taves or any of her ilk is not apparent to me. Daniel R. O’Neill Glendale

Webster Arts Behind Paint Webster Event Thank you so much for the wonderful article on Paint Webster. As the headline so accurately proclaimed, it truly was “A Resounding Success.” Thank you as well for mentioning the organizations and individuals who offered their support of the event. It would not have been possible without them. But please allow me to fill in one detail that slipped through the cracks.

Paint Webster was created and presented by Webster Arts — the same nonprofit that presents the Webster Art Fair, the Autumn Music Series, the Small Arts Exhibits at the public library as well as several art outreach programs with surrounding communities. Many individuals volunteering for Webster Arts put in months of work

making it happen in this, its eleventh year. Webster Arts relies upon the support of the community, so we appreciate it when the community is aware that its faith in us is well placed. Patrick Murphy President, Webster Arts

Neighbors In Dark Over Edgar Road Closing We applaud Edgar Road Elementary School for hosting a 5K run on Saturday, May 13. Community support is essential for raising funds to support our schools and education. But run organizers did a terrible job communicating to neighborhood residents about the road closure. Only two hand scrawled signs, black writing on brown cardboard attached to old advertising signs that were nearly impossible for drivers to read, were placed. One was at Edgar Road at Villawood and one at Edgar and Florence. These two signs were the only ef-

forts made to communicate with the neighborhood. There was no article in the Webster-Kirkwood Times on the road closure (this is only one way to reach the entire Webster Groves community). No signage was posted at the major intersection of Edgar/East Glendale. Also, run organizers did not communicate to neighbors the route or extent of the Edgar Road closure. Edgar Road was closed from the school to the northern end of Blackburn Park. Residents to the west of Edgar Road were forced to detour to Elm to cross I-44. It was very frustrating to try to use

Edgar Road, when block after block had barricades up. Run organizers, should they plan to repeat this event in future years, need to: 1. Publicly apologize to Webster residents for the 2017 road closure and inconveniences. 2. Plan and execute an effective communications plan to Webster and the Edgar Road communities that includes readable signage, media coverage and special attention to the Edgar Road neighborhood. A. C. Smythe Webster Groves

Loyalty To The President, Or To The U.S.? The fact that Donald Trump gave the Russians info that was even classified from being given to our best allies has been confirmed by Trump himself. But, the fact that National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster, who was at the meeting, said “I was in the room; it didn’t happen” is also troubling. Is McMaster’s loyalty to the President or

to the United States of America? Trump has surrounded himself with people who have pledged loyalty to him alone and above all else. This is a scary and inconceivable scenario. Have some of us lost sight of where this leads? Our Congress, both House and Senate, have proven impotent on this mat-

ter. Trump believes that, as president, anything he does is legal ... although it is not. His actions can only be stopped if our senators and representatives do their jobs. Richard W. Danyluck Kirkwood

Public Schools & Accountability In response to Ms. Regalo’s letter in the last issue of the Times, she illustrates exactly what is wrong with public education today: Let’s just ignore test scores which may provide one of the few quantifiable indicators as to the performance of the teachers and administration. She is perfectly happy with no accountability at all for the teachers and administration — just keep handing out raises whether deserved or not, whether they are already way over the average for the metro area or not, whether they drive the costper-student in the Kirkwood School District to an even higher indefensible ratio or not. The lack of fiduciary restraint is beyond stunning. Tom Dinkins Kirkwood

Sullivan Dam Congratulations to Karen and Al Haller who have been honored by the Webster Nature Study Society for their work cataloging wildflowers. Mrs. Haller’s reference to her successful efforts to help defeat the Meramec River Basin Project reminds me of this back story: The Meramec dam near Sullivan, Mo., would have provided an extensive water recreation facility close (less than an hour away) to the St. Louis area as part of a well-planned and efficiently operated park. Naturally this plan was also opposed by business interests at Lake of the Ozarks for competitive reasons. One more thing. The dam could have been a part of a well-planned flood control project affecting the Meramec basin for years to come. There were dedicated outdoor enthusiasts involved who perhaps saw, further than most, to a time when our 100-year floods would become near-yearly events bringing misery and death with the rising water. These hopes have receded in the rear view mirror, along with the plan for the dam itself. Now we live with an overbuilt flood plain and a patchwork levee system. We should enjoy the wildflowers to the fullest. Mary Lee Grone Kirkwood

Old Orchard The Stevens Building housing the Boulevard Hair Co. finally looks great and has a wonderful tenant. The DeSoto Building has some great tenants and that building looks great. Right between those two sits Rogers Produce. Lately, it seems the condition of that building and the surrounding lot has become more and more of an eyesore. The building doesn’t look like it’s being kept up and the “wing” canopies look less and less sturdy. Are there no standards for upkeep of a building in such a prominent place in the district? I am not advocating a Rogers Produce move — I believe they serve a strong need for the community and they’ve been here a long time. We don’t need another business leaving Webster. That said, I for one would sure like to see some changes made that bring it in line with the quality look of the entire business district. Robert Michael Webster Groves

A Note From Mayor Gerry Welch

Keep Grills Away From Vinyl Materials

The state legislature ended its 2017 session on Friday, May 12, at 6 p.m. We are grateful that a bill was passed to allow Missouri residents to obtain a “REAL ID.” As of Jan. 1, 2018, Missourians will need this form of ID, or a passport, to get on a plane or enter any federal facility. We also are grateful that a bill that would have taken away local control over our right-of-ways was not passed. A major thank-you goes to the Mayor’s Advocacy Committee that responded to requests to contact our state representatives and senators when legislation was proposed that would have negative consequences for Webster Groves. More than 25 residents volunteered for this key role. It was particularly effective with the REAL ID legislation. You also will hear details soon about the just-issued Missouri Supreme Court ruling that overturned some provisions in Senate Bill 5, passed in 2015, that put limits on court and other revenue. This bill singled out St. Louis County municipalities and imposed a smaller percentage than the rest of the state, including St. Louis City. That smaller percentage was overturned along with other provisions. There is always more to come on the legislative front with special sessions over the summer and fall.

The Webster Groves Fire Department reminds residents to be careful with hot barbecue grills. A $750,000 Illinois home was reduced to rubble recently by the careless use of a grill, located under a covered deck near a vinyl/ plastic deck railing. Many modern construction materials are compiled of petroleum-based materials and burn rapidly. The International Fire Code recommends a 10-foot clearance between any grill and combustible construction materials.

Bored kids? Camp Webegee, Sports and More, Ozzie Smith’s Sports Academy Baseball/Softball Camp, and Circus Stars Camp are the perfect antidote for the summer blahs. Learn more and sign up at www. wgparksandrec.com; click on the current brochure.

New Officers

City Honored For Historic Preservation

The Webster Groves Police Department welcomes two new officers. Officer William Hogg, left, is a graduate of the Metropolitan Police Academy and brings five years of experience with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. Officer Cydney Schaefer is an eight-year veteran of law enforcement, most recently at the Lambert International Police Department. She is a graduate of the Eastern Missouri Police Academy and possesses a B.A. Degree in Communications from the University of Missouri.

Four Hundred Pounds Collected Webster Groves Police Department collected nearly 400 pounds of unused medications April 29 in the Prescription Drug Take-Back event. Statewide, 16 tons were collected. Thanks to all who participated in the event.

Keep Your Doors Locked This time of year, it’s not uncommon for residents to head out the front door for warm-weather chores and wind up in the backyard, where they may be busy for a time. The Webster Groves Police Department reminds residents to keep all doors, and especially the front door, locked at all times.

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources honored the Webster Groves Historic Preservation Commission recently, on its 25th year of participation in the Missouri Certified Local Government (CLG) Program. The CLG program is designed to expand the historic preservation network of the federal and state governments by creating a network for local governments to participate. The City has enacted an historic preservation ordinance, conducted an ongoing inventory of historic properties and provided outreach and education to the public.

Chief Plummer Retirement from page 1 to the Cardinals. And it was really a big deal when Curt Flood and Bob Gibson showed up at our high school to watch us play baseball,” Plummer added. Not A Curve Ball Plummer knows you’re not throwing a curve when you switch the talk from baseball to the sad events of 2005 and 2008. He knew this was coming. “Of course, Kirkwood can’t forget what we’ve been through, and what the families have been through. We can never forget the lives lost,” said Plummer. “When Sgt. McEntee was shot and killed on the job in Meacham Park in Kirkwood, I knew it had been 100 years since a Kirkwood officer lost his life in the line of duty. “I hoped it would be another 100 years if something like the loss of Sgt. McEntee ever happened again in Kirkwood. That’s not the way it worked out,” Plummer said. On Feb. 7, 2008, a gunman went on a rampage. Charles Thornton shot a police officer outside city hall. Then, he entered the public meeting in city hall chambers and shot another police officer, the public works director, two city council members, the mayor and a reporter. In total, Thornton killed five and wounded two others. One of the two wounded, Mayor Michael Swoboda, would die about seven months later from an illness exacerbated by his injuries. Thornton was shot and killed by police in the meeting chambers to end the carnage that evening. “I’ve always asked myself questions about what we could have done differently to prevent the tragedy,” said Plummer. “I know it always comes to that. I remember identifying bodies for the county that night. It was terrible to have to do that, but that was my job. “I called my daughter and told her to call her mother and her brother to tell them that I was okay. I told her to tell them that they may not hear much from me for some time, but not to

to 17 to provide students with the required credits to graduate. Other staffing additions next year will include a kindergarten and second-grade teacher at North Glendale Elementary; a fifth-grade teacher at Robinson Elementary; a kindergarten teacher and an interventionist at Westchester Elementary; a social studies teacher, science teacher and an English Language Arts teacher at Nipher Middle School; a reading interventionist at North Kirkwood Middle School; and a science teacher, social studies teacher, German teacher, ATLAS English teacher and credit enhancement at Kirkwood High School. That amounts to the equivalent of more than 10 full-time positions that have been added as of May 22. The district has also identified several other areas of need where additional teachers, interventionists and other staff may be added after enrollment numbers are realized. “We are continuing to work with our building principals to review enrollment projections for next year and the plan for the instructional needs of our students,” said Mike Romay, chief financial officer. “We are very grateful to our community for the passage of Prop K, which will allow us flexibility to address some critical needs of our students while avoiding cuts to valuable programs and services.”

worry about me,” Plummer said. The days following the rampage were a jumble of inquiries, investigations, intense media coverage – and funerals. There were services for officers William Biggs and Thomas Ballman, for council members Connie Karr and Michael H.T. Lynch, for Ken Yost, the public works director. Pain and Reconciliation Plummer recalled the quick action and contributions from community members to repair the damages to Kirkwood City Hall after the melee. Two years after the 2008 tragedy, the city dedicated a Kirkwood Memorial Walkway to its fallen, a walkway just north of the city hall building. Plummer said the outpouring of community support after the tragedy was essential to city officials who, despite the deep hurt, had to pick up the pieces and put city operations back together again. Plummer asked: How can you really thank 27,000 people for what they did? On Saturday, May 20, Kirkwood residents thanked Chief Plummer for his service at the J. Milton Turner office building. The expression of thanks was poignant, because both assailants, who killed the chief’s officers, were from the predominantly black Meacham Park neighborhood of Kirkwood. Harriett Patton, longtime president

of the Meacham Park Neighborhood Association, told the luncheon group that Plummer will be missed. She said he has made a point to be involved in the community and in reconciliation efforts. Ron Hodges, a member of the Kirkwood Human Rights Commission, also applauds Plummer’s efforts. “We’re going to miss him,” said Hodges. “For him to come to Meacham Park over and over again, after losing three officers, is pretty amazing. He has done a lot to turn the community’s image around and also to bring in his officers to make officers and young people comfortable around each other. “I’ve gotten to know him well,” said Hodges. “I’ve heard his stories about growing up in the city. I think that’s why he is good at what some people call a racial divide. He likes all people.” Plummer said he hopes people keep talking about tough issues after he leaves. He believes togetherness and frank conversation can change minds. “I know people get angry about what happens in Chicago or New Orleans – and I have to say, ‘but that’s not us. We solve our problems here.’ “There are people on all sides these days who don’t want to talk. They know what they know, and that’s it,” said Plummer.“My advice will always be: Lets talk to each other.”

Two Vianney Lawsuits

from page 1 placed by the Kirkwood Planning and Zoning Commission upon the use of its sound system were an infringement upon its right of religious expression, and also its right of free speech. Kirkwood High School suffers from no similar restriction upon the use of its sound system, Vianney’s federal petition alleges. Vianney’s original suit, filed in the St. Louis County Circuit Court, alleges that the planning and zoning commission issued an arbitrary and capricious ruling in imposing restrictions on the lighting and sound systems when it approved the site plan for the school’s athletic field renovation. Kirkwood’s commission ruled that city ordinances should apply to the lighting, permitting just one-tenth of a foot-candle of illumination (about one lumen) to cross to adjacent residential property. Vianney has contended recently that it can come very near the ordinance restriction, exceeding it only on three property lines. However, the owners of at least one of those properties, David and Marianne Powell of Forest Glen Lane, have made it clear that they are not in sympathy with the school’s argument. The city board of adjustment in December denied Vianney’s petition for a variance to use the lights at a magnitude that would permit night baseball, exhausting the school’s recourse from the city. Loyet said Vianney is “very much open” to an out-of-court settlement,

Hessel has said the city would be amenable to a settlement compensating the school for the cost of dismantling its lighting system – since it was installed in the first place with city permission, mistakenly given. However, the city will not bend the applicable ordinance restrictions regarding use of the lights, he said. But Vianney wants to use the lights, not recoup its costs, Loyet said. “Our long-term objective is to use the lights in a fair, just and appropriate way,” Loyet said. That’s just what’s going on right now, said David Howard, another Forest Glen resident who had protested the full-power use of the lights. The school now appears to be using the lights at a level permitted by code, he said.

Class speakers Justin Sweeney and Brittane Curry address the Class of 2017 and guests.

Parents, Community and Businesses Contribute to KHS Class of 2017 After Graduation Celebration More than 350 KHS graduates from the Class of 2017 turned out to celebrate KHS After Graduation Party 2017: “It’s Time to Fly” at the Physical Education Complex on the KHS campus. The party, sponsored by the KHS Pioneer Parent Organization, is a longstanding tradition that serves an important dual purpose. For seniors, the evening is one last chance to celebrate with their classmates before beginning their post-high school lives. For parents, the alcohol and drug-free event helps their kids make it home safe and sound the day after graduation.

The 22-member After Graduation Party (AGP) committee, co-chaired by senior parents Julie Beattie and Stacey Woodruff, planned and hosted the event, which took nearly a year to organize. In addition to the contributors, more than 150 parent volunteers donated their time to work the night of the party, which began at 10:30 p.m. and ended after 3:30 a.m. The KHS Pioneer Parent Organization is a not-for-profit organization that also sponsors the KHS school store and other activities for students throughout the school year.

Serving The Poorest – In Alabama

Sister Roseanne Cook, M.D., spent 30 years caring for the sick in Alabama

Sister Roseanne Cook talks to Willie Reed on the front porch of the home she shares with cancer patient Jesse Morrisette. Their only water is a faucet in the front yard. The photo is from the book, “Caring for America – The Story of Family Practice” by John R. Stanard.

by Linda Jarrett

Sister Roseanne Cook, M.D., could hear the sounds of gunfire as she lay in the closed trunk of her car. She knew that God had not led her to rural Alabama to end up like this. Now retired and living in Kirkwood, Sister Roseanne’s life has taken many interesting turns. After graduating from St. Joseph’s Academy in 1957, she attended Saint Louis University for a year before entering Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. She returned to teach at St. Joseph’s, then taught part time at Fontbonne University while pursuing a doctorate degree in developmental physiology at Washington University. Following her graduation, she taught seven years at Fontbonne where she became chairman of the biology department. “Then, the Good Lord said to me, ‘You’re awfully comfortable in this job, and I want more out of you than this,’” Sister Roseanne said. Astonishing her family and friends, she enrolled, at age 39, at the University of Missouri Medical School in Columbia, then did her residency at Memorial Hospital in Carbondale, Ill. She planned to travel to Peru, to a location in the Andes Mountains near Lake Titicaca, to work at a hospital, but the Shining Path guerrilla movement was terrorizing foreign nationals. She decided on another path ... a path she would follow for the next 30 years. “I knew I was meant to go to a small hospital, and I visited rural areas in Appalachia, Georgia, Alabama and the Mississippi Delta,” she said. She chose Camden, Ala., the county seat of Wilcox County — one of the poorest counties in the United States. Houses resembling deserted shacks with broken windows, leaky roofs, peeling paint and unstable floors dotted the countryside. “It was the closest I could come to a Third World country,” she said. “They had a 26-bed hospital, but usually had only four to six patients. There were three doctors, no surgeons, and babies were delivered only in the case of emergencies,” she said. More serious medical care patients went by ambulance to Selma, Ala., a 90-minute drive. While Camden was small, the town of Pine Apple, 25 minutes away where Sister Roseanne had her clinic, had a population of just 500. “Forty-nine percent of my patients did not have running water,” she said. “I couldn’t even give my patients walkers because of the holes in the floors, so giving them canes was safer.” She said she never felt unsafe in Pine Apple, a place where people helped one another. There was that one day, however, when she stopped to help four young men whose car had stalled. After jump starting their vehicle, one of the men pulled a gun and ordered her into her car. He drove

Sister Roseanne’s vehicle off the road and into the woods. “They got mad because I only had $6,” she said. “I guess they thought I had money since I had my white coat on and a stethoscope around my neck. I had just come from making a house call.” The men then forced Sister Roseanne into the trunk and slammed the lid. “I heard one say, ‘You’re dead,’ and then came the gunshots,” she said. “But the Lord did not want me to die.” One shot grazed her cheek, two lodged in the car frame and one ricocheted off the trunk. She fished her keys out of her purse and jimmied the lock to release the back seat so she could get out of the car. A 50-pound bag of dog food which her assailants had removed from the trunk to make room for her proved to be key evidence in their prosecution. “I guess since people liked me, they cooperated with the police, and when they went to the house of the gunman, there was the dog food!” she said. They all pleaded guilty with the gunman sentenced to 18 years in prison. Assisting The Poor Most of Sister Roseanne’s patients suffered from hypertension, heart disease, kidney failure, and obesity — maladies of the poverty-stricken. And then there were the peculiar cases. “One time, a lady came to me with a draining elbow,” Sister Roseanne said. “It was an open sore, and when I started milking it, a 2-inch blade came out. She had been stabbed in the shoulder years ago, and over time the blade just worked its way through the muscle. It hadn’t bothered her until it opened up.” Once a man came to the clinic with a deep cut to his hand. The cut was filled with some unidentifiable material. “I asked him what it was and he said cobwebs. That was a method they used to stop bleeding, so I had to pull it all out before I could suture it, she said.

Since most people were unable to pay, they showed their gratitude by giving Cook cantaloupes, watermelons – anything they grew in their gardens. “They would bring me chickens and fresh-caught fish,” she said. Sister Roseanne said she worked with the clinic nurse, Sister Jane Kelley, to encourage donations of medicine. There was also a charity fund to which people

could contribute. Sister Roseanne is frustrated that so little is done to assist the poor in this country. A drug as basic as penicillin, which once cost $17 for 1,000 pills, is now $1,000 per injection. “The poor in this country are not on the government’s radar,” she said. Now, at 78, Cook has embraced retirement and plans to do some volunteer work once some heart issues are dealt with. She said she cherishes the time she helped those who could not help themselves. “The faith of the people that I was taking care of kept me there,” she said. “They were beautiful folks and had so few opportunities, but a gentleness and generosity with what little they had, they were giving all the time.” Sister Roseanne said the people of rural Alabama had great compassion for one another. “They were very simple, and many could not read or write, but they had big hearts,” she said.

Hixson Drama Teacher In New McDonald’s TV Ad Eric Conners, already an acting pro, gets his turn on television

where my windshield freezes over.” Conners auditioned in March, and the ad was filmed on April 7 in Chesterfield. “It was a big deal for me. I’ve been in other commercials, but I hadn’t been in one for a long time,” he said. Conners is a member of Actors’ Equity Association

by Fran Mannino

Drama teacher Eric J. Conners has been teaching students his craft for nearly two decades – with five years at Hixson Middle School in Webster Groves. Currently, his students can see him on television in a new McDonald’s spot, where he gets to show off his acting chops as a patron ordering a chilly drink. “I’m in the very last part in the drive-thru,” said Conners. “I get the Coke and have this moment

and the Screen Actors Guild, and recently appeared on stage with The Black Rep as John in “Miss Julie, Clarissa and John,” and in Upstream Theater’s “The Year of the Bicycle.” He also teaches at COCA in University City. “I’ve been focused on teaching drama, but I was itching to get back into acting,” he said. The McDonald’s ad is regional, and will be shown in the Midwest for about 13 weeks – possibly longer, if it does well. Conners said he’s seen it broadcast several times on Fox 2 newscasts in the morning and evening, so stay tuned.

City Joins Forces With MoDOT On 2 Street Projects Work could begin on Manchester & Geyer roads in 2019 by Dennis Hannon

The Kirkwood City Council has voted on May 4 to join forces with the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) on two street projects. The council approved a $44,000 contract with TWM Engineering of St. Louis to provide conceptual designs for improvements to Kirkwood’s portion of Manchester Road. The city would tag along on a $25 million project planned by MoDOT for reconstruction of 4.7 miles of Manchester Road from Kirkwood Road east to Big Bend Boulevard, beginning in the 2019/20

fiscal year. “If the city wants to let us tack on, we would do some improvements ourselves,” Public Services Director Bill Bensing said. “We are using their (MoDOT) consultant, which already has done all the survey work, reducing our costs tremendously.” “This is what I call a window of opportunity case,” said Chief Administrative Officer Russell Hawes. “Because we’ve had some advance notification of some work that TWM is going to be doing, we can get in on the ground floor of some of that to see if we want to upgrade it and enhance it.” Geyer Road Improvements The council also gave final approval to a measure to join MoDOT in a $970,000 improvement project for Geyer Road, from Adams Avenue to

Manchester Road. The project has been approved for 80 percent federal reimbursement from the federal Surface Transportation Program. Studies are expected to be completed and contracts for the construction work awarded in May of 2019. Painting of Water Tower In other action, the council approved a $507,500 contract with TMI Coating to repaint, repair and recoat the interior of the Dougherty Ferry water tower. The project was budgeted at $367,000, but costs were driven up by the need to tent the entire water tower to protect surrounding homes from dust and debris as the exterior is sandblasted, Bensing told the council. Only two bids were received, the second being higher by $355,000 than

Webster High’s Choral Director “We can’t comment on personnel matters under law,” said Board President Amy Clendennen. The board hasn’t taken any action on Kinworthy’s employment. With the question of what happened to Kinworthy unanswered, speaker after speaker offered testimonials as to what the choral director did for them. They said he had become one of the most important people in the lives of some of his students and had instilled a high work ethic in many of them. “We really care about him, and we want him (back),” Claudia LeSage, a student of Kinworthy who will be a senior next year, said after the meeting. She organized the group that came to the school board meeting. “He taught them how to come together as a group and how to strive for excellence,” said parent Lee McMurray. “The man is amazing. If anybody replaces him, they’re going to have high steps to follow.” Dave Buck said Kinworthy helped his adopted daughter when she was going through difficult times in high school. “Scott Kinworthy was the only teacher in the high school that reached out to her,” he said. “You can see by the response of the students and teachers that they love him.”

that from TMI, he said. The higher bid likely was due to the contractor being from out of the area, said Bensing. The appropriation includes a 10 percent contingency ($46,000). The coating will consist of a multilayer polymer designed to last 15 years, Bensing said. The city has a 15year rotation for recoating the interior of its water towers, according Bensing. Funding For A Downtown Master Plan Finally, the council approved an appropriation of $80,000 to join the Kirkwood Industrial Developmental Authority’s Downtown Master Plan. The funds had been reserved for a portion of a zoning study that now will be incorporated into the industrial developmental authority’s plan. Rev. David Denoon, pastor at First Congregational Church of Webster Groves, with Minister Sonya Vann.

from page 4

Kinworthy has long had a reputation for making winners. His chorus was chosen by the Missouri Music Educators to perform at their convention in January at Tan-Tar-A in the Lake of the Ozarks. Through the years, the high school choirs, directed by Kinworthy, have traveled to the annual Heritage Music Festival at venues across the country. At the festival, the chamber, concert and women’s choirs battled choirs across the United States and brought home gold ratings on numerous occasions, including 2008 and 2009. In 2006, the concert and women’s choirs took first place with the chamber coming in second place. In 2010, gold went to the chamber and concert choirs with a fourth place to the women’s choir. In a 2006 article in the Webster-Kirkwood Times about the choirs’ Heritage Music Festival awards, Kinworthy had been under contract with the high school for four years, but had taken a leave of absence for a year and a half, serving in Iraq with his U.S. Army Reserve Unit from Springfield. “His floppy canvas combat hat hangs proudly on his office wall,” reporter James Baer penned in the article. “I just love my job and enjoy what I do. I don’t even feel like I am working and to think, I get paid for this,” Kinworthy said in the article.

Vann To Be Sabbatical Pastor At First Church First Congregational Church of Webster Groves (First Church) made history on Sunday, May 21, as Minister Sonya Vann took over church leadership from Rev. David Denoon, who is leaving on extended sabbatical. Vann is only the second African American the church has called to a pastoral role, and she is the first to do so as their lead staff person. Vann, a minister on staff of Christ the King United Church of Christ in Florissant, was chosen from a wide field of candidates to become the sabbatical pastor. In June, Denoon and his family will journey to West Africa to explore the cultures and traditions there.

Obituaries The Rev. Robert Tabscott, a lifelong civil-rights activist and founder and president of The Elijah P. Lovejoy Society in Old Webster, died May 12 at Delmar Gardens West following a long illness. He was 79. The Presbyterian minister was a product of William & Mary, Concord College, and Union TheoRev. Tabscott Times file photo logical Seminary in Virginia. He was a regular contributor to the editorial page of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and was a commentator on KWMU, the St. Louis affiliate to National Public Radio. He also was a longtime minister at Des Peres Presbyterian Church. Rev. Tabscott founded The Elijah P. Lovejoy Society in 1975, with the society’s last location at 34 N. Gore Ave. It ceased operation in 2011. The society was a repository for AfricanAmerican history in the St. Louis area. It provided programs and curriculum on diversity to schools. The society was named for Elijah Parish Lovejoy, a man Rev. Tabscott described as “the first martyr to a free press in America.” Lovejoy was a Presbyterian minister and newspaper editor who was killed by a pro-slavery mob in Alton, Ill., in 1837. Rev. Tabscott was a minister of a church in Jackson, Miss., during the

1960s Civil Rights Movement. Known for his eccentricities, Rev. Tabscott could be seen each Sunday morning on the corner of West Lockwood and Allen avenues displaying a sign that read: “Will preach for food.” Survivors include his former wife, Sandra Rodney of St. Louis; one daughter, Susan Dames of St. Louis; three sons, David Tabscott, Mark Tabscott and Robert Tabscott, all of St. Louis; and seven grandchildren. A memorial service will be held Saturday, May 27, 11 a.m., at Faith Des Peres Presbyterian Church, 11155 Clayton Road. The date coincides with what would have been Rev. Tabscott’s 80th birthday.

She played in 10-minute intervals in the game against Visitation, and had two other scoring chances in regulation prior to her game-winning goal in overtime. “I had to make the most of it,” Michalski said. “I was really frustrated, but I just had to keep going.” Champion is thrilled with Michalski’s performance. “She’s a real good player,” he said. “She’s really skilled and she knows what she’s doing. We knew she was going to pick up where she left off.” Goalie McClure recorded her sixth straight shutout and 15th overall this season. “It helps to have Megan back there,” Champion said of McClure.

by Rick Frese

Overcoming a concussion wasn’t going to stop Webster Groves High School girls soccer standout Jenna Michalski from scoring the game-winning goal against Visitation. The sophomore midfielder said she imagined scoring the winning goal before it actually happened. Michalski knocked in a floating pass from defender Ava Burke off the inside of her left foot into the open right side of the net with five minutes, 24 seconds left in the second sudden-death 15-minute overtime. “I was kind of visualizing what I was going to do,” she said. “I got on the far end and I saw it coming and I had to get it in.” Michalski’s heroics lifted Webster Groves to a 1-0 victory over Visitation in the Class 3 sectionals on May 23 at Selma Field. “That shot – the goalie can’t stop that. It was perfectly placed,” Webster Groves coach Thom Champion said of Michalski’s winning shot. Champion said the game could have gone either way. “It was justified to be in overtime,” he said. “We both had great (scoring) chances. The goalies came up big almost the whole game.” Michalski’s fifth goal of the season avenged a 1-0 overtime loss to Visitation in the 2016 sectional game, which was the topic of discussion before the sectional. “We wanted to beat them to get revenge,” Michalski said. “We didn’t want to lose to them.” Stateswoman goaltender senior Megan McClure said last year’s loss to Visitation during sectionals helped fuel the Stateswomen to a victory. “We just really, really, really couldn’t explain how bad we wanted to win this game,” she said. Michalski suffered a concussion

Movie & DVD Reviews by Kent Tentschert & Lynn Venhaus Movie questions or comments? reelworld@timesnewspapers.com

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales Kent’s Grade: B Genre: Action/Adventure/Fantasy Rated: PG-13 for sequences of adventure violence, and some suggestive content. THE PLOT: Young Henry Turner (Brenton Thwaites) is determined to free his father, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) from his curse on the Flying Dutchman – by finding Poseidon’s Trident. Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario) uses her father’s journal to seek Poseidon’s Trident for scientific study. As their paths cross, they form a tentative alliance but soon realize their path to the trident leads through none other than Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp). However, few of these adventurers can fathom the depths to which they will sink to secure their ancient prize. KENT’S TAKE: “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” does the opposite of the title, telling a tale of enduring love, of high adventure and limitless greed. Henry Turner is set on freeing his father, Carina is determined to find the mythical trident to fulfill her father’s destiny, while Jack Sparrow is determined to get drunk, rich and save his skin – preferably in the opposite order. Disney’s fifth installment in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series may seem to be grasping at air with a quest to find Poseidon’s Trident. Previous installments sought cursed Inca gold,

Davey Jones’ locker and the Fountain of Youth. Fortunately, this film keys on all of the right elements to create a wellpaced, action-packed adventure. This is not a “Johnny Depp film,” it’s a “Pirates of the Caribbean” film with Depp at the helm. This distinction places the story at the fore allowing viewers to experience an adventure on the high seas with memorable, lovable characters. From the first creaking of timbers to the final embrace, this swashbuckling film brings back the energy, the playfulness and magic that this franchise originally offered. Add top-notch special effects that fuel the action and this film surfaces as a sure summer blockbuster. The cast is excellent. Depp revives the memorable Jack Sparrow rather than the over-wrought Sparrow of later adventures and Javier Bardem as Captain Salazar is perfect. Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbossa distinguishes his limited screen time and Thwaites and Scodelario hold their own against the seasoned pros. “Dead Men Tell No Tales” may be a fifth film in a 14-year voyage, but this dead man’s tale cruises into open water gathering a strong tail wind.
