TURKEY DAY FOOTBALL NOON KICKOFF AT KIRKWOOD HIGH SCHOOL

Kirkwood High School by Rick Frese The goal is simple: Keep the Frisco Bell at Kirkwood High School. Kirkwood, with eight wins and two losses this season and the 2016 Class 6 State Champions, has won the last four Turkey Day games. The Pioneer seniors, in particular, hope to end their careers with a 4-0 record against rival Webster Groves. Kick off is at noon on Nov. 23 at Lyons Stadium on the campus of Kirkwood High School. “Obviously, this is a lot bigger because we’re going after five straight. The

seniors are going to give it everything we’ve got since this is our last game, especially on this field,” said Kirkwood senior quarterback Ryan Kraichely. Unlike recent years, Kirkwood this season played deep into the state playoffs. Both Kirkwood and Webster last played on Oct. 27, producing losses to end their state title aspirations. Now the Pioneers and Webster Groves (5-4) will take to the field hoping for a seasonending victory. “We know how much this means to the school and to the community,” said « continued page 12A

Webster Groves High School by Rick Frese Webster Groves High School Head Football Coach Cliff Ice doesn’t recall when his team last won the annual Turkey Day Game, but he knows one thing. “I’d like to bring back the Frisco Bell,” he said. To refresh Ice’s memory, the Statesmen have lost the last four Turkey Day games to Kirkwood High School. Kick off is at noon on Nov. 23 at Lyons Stadium on the campus of Kirkwood High School. In 2012, the season Kirkwood won its

first state championship against Fort Osage, the Statesmen won Turkey Day as a junior varsity game. The Statesmen’s last victory in the varsity game came in 2010 — the same year Webster Groves lost in the Class 5 state finals to Lee’s Summit West. Ice expects this year’s game to be a competitive one. Both schools last played on Oct. 27 and both suffered losses in district play. “They want to rebound and play well,” Ice said. “I think this will be a good game. This game is like playing in a bowl game.” « continued page 13A

Change To Federal Tax Law Could Cost Kirkwood $6 Million by Dennis Hannon Kirkwood is now in a bit of a hurry to complete its long-anticipated $24-plus million bond issue for the renovation of the recreation center and construction of a new, stand-alone theater in the midtown area. The bond issue has been several months in gestation, with no suggestion of urgency from city officials. But now a potential change in federal tax law has brought pressure to get everything wrapped up by the end of this year, said Mayor Tim Griffin.

“This type of financing would no longer be tax-exempt” under either of the two versions of a new tax law being mulled over in the U.S. Congress, Griffin said. “That would be a really, really big deal. “It would cost us significant dollars over the life of the bonds,” he said. “The number has been given as a cost of $200,000 a year to the city, which over 30 years is six million bucks.” Regular municipal bonds, which might be issued to finance a new fire « continued page 9A

From My Second Story Window by Dwight Bitikofer email: bitikofer@timesnewspapers.com

I feel fortunate. The old Bradford Pear tree, which wraps itself around the northeast corner of our old office building, is still here. Best enjoyed from our second floor vantage points, it is putting on its autumn display. From the east window above the stairway, the leaves are deep red and plum with bits of orange and gold. There will be some purples before the show is finished. From the north window vantage point at my desk, I see a mixture of gold and green and a bit of orange. One of these years, I will lose this venerable old tree that has been a part of my window-scape since the early 1980s. But it is November again, and the tree still shines. In the bare branches of winter, starlings will visit to harvest its tiny, hard fruits. This tree is also known as a Callery Pear. In recent years, it descended from favored streetscape tree to the stern label of “invasive species.” But this tree

is the same as the tree that was rescued from the aftermath of the World Trade Center collapse and now grows between Lower Manhattan’s 911 Memorial pools. It is known there as “the survivor tree.”

While I know this tree will not be here forever, today I still get to enjoy it. It becomes a metaphor for lots of life pieces. So often middle night wakefulness ushers in fears of endings, fears of catastrophes, fears of not enough. But in the morning and for that next day, life goes on, chock full of its little amazements and irritations – and gifts of the unexpected.

And so this tree becomes, too, a Thanksgiving symbol. Today it might be right at the top of the gratitude list I often intend to write and rarely do. A Thanksgiving tradition at my house has long included asking each person around the table to name one thing for which they are thankful before we pile our plates with a feast of plenty.

Principal Shines Light On High School Successes by Jaime Mowers Kirkwood High School Principal Mike Havener is proud to shine a light on all of the successes happening at the high school. In 2017, Kirkwood High School graduated 463 students and had a graduation rate of 99.1 percent, the highest it has been since 2010. “Although that’s really, really great, we’re not going to be satisfied until the

number is 100 percent and we work toward that every day,” Havener told the Kirkwood School Board during its Nov. 6 meeting. Havener said Kirkwood’s graduates are highly sought after by several prestigious colleges and universities across the country, which is evidenced by the $31 million in scholarships Kirkwood’s 2017 graduates were offered by various schools. Kirkwood’s 2017 graduates are attending 126 different colleges and universities including Princeton, Stanford and Yale, as well as The Julliard School. The top in-state schools of this year’s graduating class are St. Louis

Budget Calls For 4 Percent Pay Hike For Public Safety

Local Groups Partner In National Coalition

In 2017 Kirkwood High School had graduation rate of 99.1 percent

Public hearing planned for Nov. 27 by Linda Jarrett The 2018 budget for the city of Des Peres calls for a 3 percent cost-of-living salary increase for non-commissioned employees. Des Peres Public Safety Officers will get a separate 4 percent increase as a result of the half-cent public safety sales tax approved by voters in the April 2017 election. Finance Director Tracy Hansel said the 2018 budget includes revenues of $20,468,620 and appropriations of $20,676,829. “A planned utilization of fund balance in the debt service fund makes up the decrease in the overall fund balance,” she said. Details on the budget will be presented at a public hearing at the Nov. 27 board of aldermen meeting.

Community College-Meramec, the University of Missouri, Missouri State University, Truman State, Missouri University of Science and Technology, and Saint Louis University. The top outof-state schools are the University of Arkansas, Southern Illinois UniversityEdwardsville and the University of Kansas. “Our kids are sought after,” Havener said. “When the recruiters come here on college days, they work hard to get our kids and that says a lot. Our kids are going to schools all over the country and we’re very proud of that.” Kirkwood is also proud that the average ACT score of its graduates is

Kirkwood will share membership in National Association of City Transportation Officials by Dennis Hannon Kirkwood has been offered a kind of piggyback arrangement whereby it could join a local group in sharing a membership in the prestigious National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) at a deep discount to the regular price. “The city was invited into a coalition of communities around St. Louis, (including) Clayton, the city of St. Louis, Great Rivers Greenway and (the) EastWest Gateway (Council),” Chief Administrative Officer Russell Hawes, told the council at its Nov. 2 work session. “The coalition would allow the city of St. Louis to get into NACTO.” That would mean the city of St. Louis would join NACTO, and bring the other four members of the coalition along as its partners. The five would share the $17,500 annual dues for the city’s membership, with the four junior partners paying $2,500 each, and the city paying $7,500. Only St. Louis would be a full member of NACTO, but the four piggybackers would become de facto affiliates, with rights of participation in the organization’s services and events,

Hawes said. The regular dues for small cities (under 300,000) to join NACTO is $6,000. All the current members and affiliate members are larger than Kirkwood; most are larger than the city of St. Louis. NACTO is dedicated to optimizing safety and aesthetics on municipal roadways. It conducts workshops, training seminars and conferences around the country. It also publishes a Street Design Guide, a book of standards and best practices. It is the sponsor of the “Complete Streets” program advocating top-of-the-line design standards. Kirkwood’s main purpose in joining the St. Louis coalition would be that “we’d be making a statement. “The actual tangible benefits are marginal,” said Hawes. “But this coalition, the St. Louis area, would be making a statement that we’re on the cutting edge of some of these approaches, and we’ll be working together to have better pedestrian access, to fulfill some of the recommendations of the Great River Greenway project and so forth.” The city would commit itself to remain in the coalition beyond one year “if all goes well,” Hawes said.

23.8, higher than the state average of 20.4. Havener said the high school is working hard to get that number even higher by implementing specific measures that will help students perform better on the ACT such as testbased assignments and homework. “We’re working in assignments that train them for what they’ll see on the ACT, especially in math,” he said. Despite all of the successes, Havener said the work is never done and the high school will continue striving to “meet every student’s needs every single day.”

« continued on page 10A

That in effect means continuation would be entirely voluntary, Hawes and City Attorney John Hessel told the council. There was skepticism among council members. “I don’t see the value of it,” said Council Member Bob Sears. The city is free to adopt NACTO standards without the expense of joining the organization, he pointed out. Hawes said that was his initial view, but he eventually decided there was value in establishing an affiliation with other cities pursuing best practices in street design. “When I talked to the city manager of Clayton (Craig Owens), he said ‘we’re on board because we’re making a statement. The city of St. Louis should be in these types of discussions,’” Hawes told the council. “It would a way to get your foot in the door for regional discussion,” said Hawes. Council Member Nancy Luetzow said “it looks like a good idea to me,” considering the growing impetus for regional cooperation – if not outright merger. The council agreed informally that it was OK for Hawes to enroll Kirkwood in the NACTO coalition.

Fluorescent Lights Being Replaced With LEDs New lighting expected to save $60,000 a year by Jim Merkel How many workers does it take to change all the fluorescent lights to more energy efficient LED lights in Webster Groves School District buildings? Two or three, but you’ll have to wait seven months to finish it. After all, we are talking about 30,000 lights. Chief Financial Officer Bruce Ellerman said he’ll know exactly how many there are after the district finishes replacing the fluorescent lights with much more efficient LEDs. Where fluorescent bulbs use 32 watts, LEDs use 11 watts for the same amount of light. When installed, the carbon-saving bulbs should save about $60,000 a year in electricity. Ellerman alerted members of the

board of education to the energy-saving potential of changing the districts’ lights during the board’s meeting on Nov. 13. The estimated number of bulbs in the district is based on a count of classrooms in the district’s nine buildings. A typical classroom has about 30 to 36 bulbs. In that room, fluorescent bulbs would use about 1,000 watts. LED bulbs would use 350 watts. To help the district, Ameren is paying about 80 percent of the cost of bulbs. The bulbs are rated to last five to 10 years, whereas fluorescent bulbs are rated for two years. One benefit is that LED lights produce a softer light than fluorescent bulbs. Workers started the replacement project the beginning of October at

Clark Elementary School and now are at Edgar Road Elementary School. They’ll be finished by the end of the school year. Assessment Of Building Needs In another item, Ellerman reported that the district is seeking a company to do an assessment of the needs of its buildings for such things as furnaces, windows, doors, plumbing, and cooling. After the company does the assessment, a replacement cycle can be developed. The district then could decide whether it would pay out of its regular operating budget or bonds. The board isn’t considering a bond issue now. Twelve companies have submitted proposals. Recommendations on a company likely will be made at the board’s Jan. 22 meeting. The report will be due on April 13.

Voice Support For Non-Political School Board

As a former superintendent, now as one who serves students in a variety of ways, I am excited about the great things happening in public schools, yet fearful of the direction our Governor is moving as he politicizes the State Board of Education (SBE). Three of the five newly appointed SBE members (Claudia Greim, Doug Russell and Eddie Justice) have requested a special meeting for Nov. 21, to discuss the fate of Commissioner Dr. Margie Vandeven. The SBE is, by design, nonpolitical. Members are balanced by political party, but more importantly, their work is focused on doing what is best for Missouri’s public school students. The concern now is whether the SBE is being restructured by Gov. Eric Greitens with the purpose of pushing an agenda of charter school

expansion and school vouchers. There is certainly evidence that this is the case. It has been my pleasure to know Dr. Vandeven as an individual who sincerely cares about all children. Her goals have been clear: improve student achievement, early childhood, and the Missouri School Improvement Program. A change in leadership could mean that the nearly two years of work within the education community could also be at risk. Like others, I am concerned that those who have only recently been appointed to the SBE are tasked with making sweeping changes in public education. At the very least, new board members should be confirmed by the Senate prior to being part of significant votes that are vital to the

well-being of the school children. I encourage you to pay close attention to the direction Gov. Greitens wishes to push Missouri’s educational system. Your voice matters. It’s time to use it. Those wishing to express their point of view should email the SBE at sbe@dese. mo.gov. Public education in Missouri is at a crossroads. It’s vitally important that those who support public schools voice their support for maintaining a non-political board that is dedicated to creating the best opportunities for children in Missouri. Dr. Sarah Booth Riss Retired Superintendent Webster Groves School District

Veterans Enjoy Sharing Stories At High School For the 26th straight year, Kirkwood High School welcomed veterans onto its campus to speak with students in honor of Veterans Day. This year, 35 veterans spoke in 66 classrooms, and related our experiences while serving in the military and how it impacted the rest of our lives. As one who has been involved since the first year, I have seen it grow in size and scope, and be replicated by other schools all over the metropolitan area. We greatly appreciate the high school letting us

tell our stories, especially in such a positive way. The teachers love the program because it allows the students to hear and interact with veterans within the informal confines of the classroom. We vets love talking with the students and also hearing the many other stories. There is a wide variety of experiences that are told each year, but one consistent theme is that defending our country and the freedoms and rights that we enjoy is well worth our service. We also

humbly accept the thanks and praise, but realize that the real heroes are those we honor and remember on Memorial Day. We are always looking for veterans who would like to participate in our program. If interested, please contact Kirkwood High School or the school district. Thanks again to Kirkwood High School for a terrific program this year. Rick Stream U.S. Navy 1971-75 Kirkwood

Another View Of New Aberdeen Building Plan

May I present another view to the Aberdeen Heights situation? I am a charter resident of this retirement home. St. Joseph Hospital was here in 2008 when many of us signed up. Glendale and Kirkwood have been home to me for over 60 years. Keeping all neighborhoods safe

and desirable is vital. In the past six years, Aberdeen Heights has been a good neighbor to the surrounding residential area. To Mayor Tim Griffin and the Kirkwood Planning and Zoning Commission, please find a more suitable location for the proposed

building of 54 independent living apartments – not on Ann, Albus and Couch! Jean Gray Kirkwood

Lubeley’s Added Sweetness To The Holidays

With the approaching holiday season, many of us will be missing a cherished tradition, part of the festivities for years – even decades: special delicacies from Lubeley’s now sadly shuttered bakery and deli. Like an empty place at the table for an expected guest, the absence of our favorite bakery’s unique treats signals that our dessert menus must undergo drastic changes! As welcome as a member of the family, something from Lubeley’s added its unique flavor (no pun intended) to each occasion calling for a tantalizing dessert masterpiece. Magical, multi-tiered wedding cake extravaganzas, delicate pastel petit fours for bridal and baby showers,

imaginatively detailed birthday cakes, personalized with everything from elegant Barbie fashions to school-color football gridirons – all emerged from Lubeley’s own magic kingdom, delighting the eye and the sweet tooth. No Easter Brunch was complete without their pecan stollen; no birthday or graduation made the cut without colorfully frosted cookies shaped to honor the day. Lubeley’s was a master of the inimitable personal touch. A Fourth of July sheet cake with real sparklers? Photos of the birthday boy or girl etched into fluffy icing? Engagement party cupcakes, glittering with “diamond” rings? No problem! When my grandson’s November

birthday approached, he wondered if no Lubeley’s meant no birthday cake. I knew just how he felt. For generations, our family, like so many, considered a Lubeley’s creation an integral part of the festive occasion – one tradition that would never change. Time passes, and with time, all traditions alter. Still, we remember the sweetness of special days past, enhanced by Lubeley’s own unique kind of sweetness. A warm thank you to our own bakery for helping to enhance so many memorable occasions. You will be missed! Marian Rusk Webster Groves

Help Save The Earth: Say “No” To Plastic Straws Do you know about No-Straw November? Americans use 50 million plastic straws a day! That is enough straws to wrap around the Earth two-and-a-half times each day. These straws go in the trash because they can’t be recycled. Many of them end up in the ocean, and that can kill a bunch of kinds of fish. At Keysor Elementary School, we

got rid of straws in our cafeteria last year, and we don’t miss them. Nobody needs straws anyway. When you go to a restaurant, you can tell them, you don’t want straws. You can also consider using paper or reusable straws. Restaurants should only give straws to people who ask for them. Please consider trying to not

use plastic straws, so we can save our Earth! Please give it a try in November, and hopefully you will keep it up all year. Josephine Kim Second Grade student Keysor Elementary School Kirkwood

Learn About REAL ID On Dec. 2 Will you be able to board a plane in January using your driver’s license as your ID? Well, let’s hope so! One of the most significant pieces of legislation passed in Missouri this year concerned the federal government’s REAL ID program. We finally passed a bill that will bring Missouri’s driver’s licenses into federal compliance. However, since Missouri failed to meet the deadline for compliance (it took over 10 years to pass this bill), we have requested a waiver to allow time to update all driver’s licenses with the new standards. Missouri has not yet received the waiver but expects it to be granted. I will keep you updated. If you have any questions about REAL ID or any other legislative questions, please join me at my 6th Town Hall meeting at Kirkwood Public Library on Dec. 2, from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Until I see you again, I send best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season.

The Right To Kneel Doesn’t Make It Right

This is in response to the “Why the Knee Is Taken During the National Anthem” letter in the Nov. 10 Mailbag. The author cites various rationales to attempt to justify taking the knee during the playing of the anthem. Simply put though, he misses the main point of the entire controversy. While people certainly have the right to take the knee, that does not make that action right. D. Lewis Kirkwood

Reason For Taking Knee Lost In Firestorm Much has been said about taking a knee or sitting during the National Anthem. I believe that most people have forgotten (or maybe never even knew) what these acts of protest were even about – inequality and police brutality. I think the message got lost in the firestorm about disrespecting the flag. Taking a knee is most often seen as a sign of respect or reverence. But the REASON for taking a knee by the football players is not out of respect; it is out of protest. And here’s why I – and I think many people – have a problem with these gestures. They use the National Anthem as the venue for the protest. I think they would have a much bigger impact, and not have caused the disrespecting of the flag, if they would have stopped play in the middle of one of their games to demonstrate their cause.

Turkeys Are People Too

Getting to Know You Special $99 X-rays, Exam and Regular Cleaning

by Mary Bufe email: mary@bufe.com

Today I am going to do precisely what the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals would like me to do. I’m going to talk about the group’s new billboard. Maybe you’ve seen it. It’s situated along Interstate 44 near Jefferson Avenue in the city. It features a photo of what is EITHER a turkey that is very well endowed in the neck region OR Lady Gaga in her meat dress. At 60 mph, it is impossible to know for sure. Come to think of it, that may be exactly what PETA intended. It’s like that subliminal advertising of the 1970s when liquor companies embedded salacious images in their advertisements’ ice cubes. Only in this case, the turkey resembles Lady Gaga because, oh, give me a break. It’s not safe to rubberneck in heavy traffic. Also, the billboard’s message – “I’m ME, not MEAT” – sounds like something Lady Gaga would sing about. At least, more so than your average turkey. But the Gaga turkey doesn’t stop there. The next line on the billboard reads, “Kids: Ask your parents about going vegan.” Here is where I have a problem. Come on, OF COURSE turkeys want us to go vegan. They’ve been suffering the consequences of the Chick-Fil-A cows’ “Eat Mor Chikin” campaign for years. Let’s face it. To many people, poultry is poultry. Of course, if the turkeys weren’t so beholden to PETA, they could simply

recommend we try pork instead. It is, after all, “the other white meat.” But they probably don’t want to incite a war with the pig population. I get that. I also get why PETA picked to run this billboard in St. Louis at this time of year. Thanksgiving is next week. Missouri is the nation’s fifth largest turkey producer. But full disclosure: I have a cousin who is a turkey farmer. His name is Tom. Yes, my cousin is Tom the Turkey Farmer. And he’s not just any turkey farmer. Back during the George W. Bush administration, he was chosen to raise the national Thanksgiving turkey. He participated in the Rose Garden turkey pardoning ceremony and everything. He’s a very elite turkey farmer. My point is – and PETA needs to understand this – I am staunchly proturkey. But here’s the thing: I’m also staunchly pro-green bean casserole, pro-mashed potatoes and gravy, and pro-apple pie. Those are vegan-esque foods, aren’t they? Besides, if we all go completely vegan, we don’t just miss out on turkey leftovers. Being vegan means our children will also be deprived of one of the greatest family dinner dishes of all time: Jell-O fruit salad. That’s because Jell-O contains gelatin, and gelatin – as we all learned in fourth grade science – is made from horse hooves. So there. My point is, it’s almost Thanksgiving. Can’t we just all get along?

Shrewsbury

Board Recognizes 4 Of City’s First Responders Police Sgt. Tomey L. Foltz III honored on his 10-year anniversary; three firefighters promoted by Dennis Hannon The Shrewsbury Board of Aldermen on Tuesday made special acknowledgments to four first responders. Police Sgt. Tomey L. Foltz III was presented with a 10-Year Service Award; Firefighter Michael Lepsky was promoted to captain; Firefighter Steve Gray was promoted to medical officer; Firefighter Scott Wilbanks was promoted to lead firefighter. Wives of the three firefighters – Amie Lepsky, Stacey Gray and Christine Wilbanks – pinned badges on their husbands representing their new ranks. All four first responders were greeted by robust rounds of applause by an audience of about 20 persons, most of whom had come specifically for the pinning ceremony. Mayor Felicity Buckley thanked the men for their length of service. “We’re not super formal around here, but I do want to thank you for your time,” Buckley said. “Ten years is a long time to be in any one place, especially nowadays with some of the stresses in the day-to-day work that our officers are involved with. “We really do appreciate all you’ve given to our community,” she said. “And

It is really dark.” The light will be installed at no charge by Ameren UE, with the utility’s cost to be recovered in its billing to the city, Wagner said. “They’re hoping for something like the end of December.”

Budget Workshop Nov. 28 The last in the annual series of budget workshops will be held Nov. 28. The 2018 budget is scheduled to be approved at the board’s Dec. 12 meeting. Financial Director Danielle Oettle’s expertise at budget preparation was acknowledged by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) with its Certificate of Recognition for Budget Presentation. The award recognizes Oettle’s having attained the rating of “proficient” in four categories and 14 subcategories the organization’s rating schedule. It credits Oettle as the person primarily responsible for the city’s budget, which GFOA also recognized with its Distinguished Budget Presentation Award.

Shrewsbury Lt. Todd Melugin shakes hands with Sgt. Tomey L. Foltz III, who has been with the police department for 10 years. Better Together Campaign Buckley reported that the campaign to unite St. Louis City and County – Better Together – had attracted attention from national media, quoting at length from an article in the Wall St. Journal. “They said the proponents of the Better Together have put nearly $2 million toward their campaign – so this is a very serious campaign,” Buckley said. “Better Together is holding town hall meetings and plans to recommend a plan for consolidation this summer. “Either a statewide or local vote could happen as early as November of 2018,” she said. “This is something that really is on the front burner for a lot of people. There’s serious money pushing this. “I did want to bring that to peoples’ attention that they should let their local officials know how they feel,” she added.

Kirkwood High from page 4A

“That’s hard, but we’re working at it,” he said. “We are committed to making every student that comes through our doors the best person they can be.” One way the high school is achieving that is by continuing to shape its “Portrait of a Pioneer,” which includes objectives and visions for what the district wants all students to be capable of by the time they graduate. “What do we want students to know after four years of English, math, science, etc., at Kirkwood High?” he said. “We constantly work from that and then lesson plans are adjusted accordingly.” Havener praised not only Kirkwood High School teachers, but the work that’s being done at the Kirkwood Early Childhood Center and the district’s elementary and middle schools. “We’re able to do what we do because of the work that happens before students get here,” he said. Filing For Election Filing for the April 3, 2018, annual school board election opens at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 12, at 8 a.m. Filing will close at 5 p.m. on Jan. 23. The terms of board members Angie Bernardi and Bret Heinrich expire in 2018. Both said they plan to run for re-election. Those interested in filing for election can do so at the superintendent’s office at the district’s Administrative Services Center, 11289 Manchester Road. Normandy Transfer Students With the Normandy School District expected to receive provisional accreditation in December, the Kirkwood School Board adopted a memorandum to allow transfer students from Normandy to continue attending Kirkwood schools for the next three years. Kirkwood’s eight transfer students from Normandy will have to continue to provide their own transportation to Kirkwood schools.

Retired Glendale Fire Chief Faces Charges Of Sexual Misconduct & Assault Former chief also longtime coach and school board president in Franklin County by Jaime Mowers Former longtime Glendale fire chief Larry Zeitzmann has been charged with sexual misconduct and assault for alleged incidents involving an underage girl. Zeitzmann, 56, of Washington, Mo., was recently charged with misdemeanors of second-degree sexual misconduct and third-degree assault, according to the Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. The offenses allegedly occurred between Oct. 21 and Nov. 22, 2016, according to the charging documents. Court documents allege Zeitzmann made unwanted verbal and physical advances toward the victim that began when she was 14 and continued until recently. He allegedly grabbed her buttocks, hugged her, kissed her on the cheek and tried to kiss her on the lips several times, according to the probable cause statement. Zeitzmann also allegedly told the victim he loved her and would leave his wife for her. These events are alleged to have occurred on school grounds at sporting events and at the Union City Park during a school event. Zeitzmann served with the Glendale Fire Department for nearly three decades, 16 years as fire chief before retiring in May 2015. Glendale City Administrator Jaysen Christensen said there were no complaints brought against Zeitzmann during his time with the department. He was on the school board at Crosspoint Christian School in Villa Ridge from 2011-2016 serving as president during his last year on the board. In addition, he was the boys soccer and baseball coach from 2002-2016, according to Crosspoint Christian School Administrator Don Coons. Zeitzmann resigned from his school board duties as soon as the allegations came to light, Coons said.

“We immediately removed him from any position of authority or supervisory position with any of the students, including all coaching duties,” Coons said. Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney Bob Parks said the investigation is ongoing. He urged any other possible victims Zeitzmann to contact their local law enforcement authorities. “We don’t know if this is an isolated incident or not,” he said. “We are still investigating this case and more charges may be issued.”

Suspect Sought For Robbing Penn Station by Jaime Mowers Webster Groves police are searching for a suspect who committed an armed robbery Wednesday night, Nov. 8, at Penn Station East Coast Subs in the Yorkshire Plaza shopping center. Police report that at 9:10 p.m. a black male entered the sandwich shop, sat down for a short time, then approached the register displaying a semi-automatic handgun and demanded money. Employees complied. The suspect fled from the shop in a 1990s white Dodge Intrepid, which was last seen heading west on Watson Road, police said. Witnesses described the suspect as 25-30 years old, approximately 5-foot-11 and 185 pounds. He was wearing a blue sweatshirt, yellow T-shirt, blue jeans and a Cleveland Cavaliers baseball hat. The Webster Groves Police Department continues to investigate. Anyone with information is asked to contact the department at 314-645-3000.

Pioneers Have Speed On Both Sides Of The Ball from page 1A Kirkwood Head Coach Farrell Shelton. Shelton and Webster Groves coach Cliff Ice both expect a rock ’em, sock ’em, down-to-the-wire battle come Turkey Day. Shelton admits he didn’t have a state title-type team this season, but Kirkwood is still Kirkwood — fast and athletic on offense, fast and hardnosed on defense, fast and accurate on special teams. “Coach Ice will always have his team prepared,” Shelton said. “They’re always well-coached and always a class program. It will be very difficult, come next Thursday. We’ll do what we do and Coach Ice will do what he does. We’ll see what happens next Thursday.” Kirkwood’s spread offense still causes problems for opposing defenses. Quarterback Kraichely, despite missing several games with a right shoulder injury, figures to lead the way in his final start. He has completed 84 of 140 passes for 1,272 yards, 14 touchdowns and has thrown three interceptions this season. Backup quarterback, junior Cooper Wise, is 23 for 39 for 400 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. Both quarterbacks figure to see action, depending on the situation. “We feel comfortable with whomever

So, we’ll see,” Shelton said. Kirkwood’s running game is led by senior running back Daron Clay (436 yards, 74 rushes, five touchdowns) and junior running back Martez Jones (304 yards, 71 carries, four touchdowns). Kirkwood has five receivers who caught 10 or more passes this season. Senior wide receiver Travion Mosby led the way with 30 receptions for 553 yards

and five touchdowns, followed by sophomore wide receiver Jairus Maclin (23 catches, 454 yards, seven touchdowns), senior wide receiver Tabyus Mace (12 catches, 251 yards, three touchdowns), senior defensive back Armon Tindle (10 catches, 101 yards, three touchdowns) and senior running back Cornell Young IV (10 catches for 91 yards). Defensively, Kirkwood is led by senior linebacker Tyriek Lewis with

team highs in 88 tackles, 10 for losses, a team-leading five quarterback sacks and two fumble recoveries. Defensive back Cornell Young IV has a team-high three interceptions. Mosby, a defensive back, has two fumble recoveries and one interception while Maclin, a defensive back, has two interceptions. Senior defensive end David Young has 63 tackles, nine for losses, two quarterback sacks, one fumble recovery and one interception. Clay, a linebacker, has 56 tackles, eight for losses and one fumble recovery. Junior defensive end Arvell Ferguson Jr. has 47 tackles, eight for losses, three quarterback sacks and a team-leading four fumble recoveries. Junior defensive back Stefan Cameron has 44 tackles, nine for losses, three quarterback sacks, one fumble recovery and two interceptions. Senior defensive lineman RJ Jackson has 40 tackles and four quarterback sacks. Senior placekicker Nick Williams has 38 extra points with four field goals. “I had an alumni say the other day, ‘You need to have the seniors understand something, it’s the worst feeling in the world watching that Bell leave your field in your senior year,’” Shelton said. “I will leave it up to the seniors. I hope they go out with a win. We know Webster will go out and battle right with us. It will be fun.”

With Quarterback Out, Statesmen Must Step Up from page 1A Even without injured senior quarterback John Doria, Webster Groves has enough skill to challenge Kirkwood’s ball-hawking defense, Ice said. Doria this season completed 84 of 160 passes for 1,414 yards, 15 touchdowns, had seven interceptions and rushed for a team-high 377 yards on 108 attempts. He scored eight touchdowns before breaking his collarbone against Summit. “I’d like to see John be the quarterback,” Ice said. “He was having a great season. With our quarterback out, we need to step it up.” Ice will rely on sophomore backup quarterback Enrique Quinones. He has three reliable sophomore running backs in Kameron Yancey (324 yards, 83 carries, two touchdowns), Jerqon Conners (224 yards, 45 rushes, three touchdowns) and Maurion Clemons (212 yards, 41 attempts, two touchdowns). “We’ve had a running back by committee,” Ice said. “They have done a real good job.” Webster Groves has strong receivers in five players who had 10 or more receptions over the season: Senior wide receiver Ethan Cooley (34 catches, 679 yards, nine touchdowns); junior wide

senior right guard Temitayo Sobamowo and sophomore center Cole Schnettgoecke. Ice said the defense has played well, even when the opposition played on a short field. Key defensive players are the trio of running backs who play in the secondary. Senior linebacker Ron Thomas leads the Statesmen with 79 tackles, including 10 for losses, four quarterback sacks, one fumble recovery and two interceptions. Senior Ryan Rusan is second in tackles with 78 and also has two interceptions. Brown is third with 74 tackles, has four quarterback sacks and one fumble recovery. “They have gone under the radar,” Ice said. “The defense Webster High’s Jerqon Conners runs the ball against Parkway South.

POTTY

PARITY by Don Corrigan As the Christmas shopping season gets into gear, more dads are finding themselves at area stores with babies in tow. Dads can be grateful for the convenience of more diaper-changing stations, but a big thank you is not owed to Santa Claus. Actually, the man who gets a lot of credit for bringing us potty parity – when it comes to dealing with baby BMs – is a men’s liberation advocate hailing from Des Peres. Francis Baumli was a major player in the crusade for men’s restroom changing stations for babies more than 30 years ago. Baumli, a member of the National Coalition for Men and the author of “Men Freeing Men,” said he became upset in 1978 when caring for his baby daughter. On both short and long trips, he became aware that moms had access to diaper-changing stations, but men did not have that convenience. According to Baumli, another male activist friend, John Rossler, also became angry at the situation after a long layover with his child at JFK Airport in New York. They consulted with a well-known lawyer friend, Karen DeCrow, and a lawsuit was hatched to take up the changing facility issue at airports. The initial lawsuit was filed against the airport in Syracuse, New York, where

Francis Baumli was in the forefront of successful efforts to include baby changing stations in men’s restrooms

Rossler and DeCrow lived at the time. Eventually, a legal settlement was reached in the case which led to further action on behalf of men’s rights in the men’s WC. “It was my idea to then send a letter to about 100 corporations stating that we would sue them if they didn’t put in diaper-changing facilities for men to use,” said Baumli. “I felt we would win on the basis of the precedent established in Syracuse. “The mailing was to everyone from K-Mart and Wal-Mart to Safeway and corporations other people thought were important to add,” noted Baumli. “All the companies, every one, capitulated. Target was the first to capitulate on paper, but I think they were the very last to install the facilities. We thought we would have to sue them, and were relieved when they finally complied.” Bathroom Backlash Not everyone was happy with the action by Baumli and his men’s rights group to seek diaper-changing stations in men’s public restrooms. “I don’t know that ‘most’ men cursed us for what we accomplished, but many did,” said Baumli. “Some thought we must be child molesters, and some thought we were trying to make men give up their masculinity – and do a woman’s

job. “However, I would say more women cursed us than men—they also had child molesters in mind,” said Baumli. “Some women also thought this was a threat to their hegemony over child-rearing. Karen DeCrow, our lawyer friend, considered it a liberation for women who were tethered to the role of child-rearing.” Fathers’ Rights Group Mark Ludwig of Affton is founder of Americans for Equal Shared Parenting, a

group that supports fathers’ rights on custody and parental issues. “President Obama signed the BABIES Act (Bathrooms Accessible in Every Situation Act) that requires both men’s and women’s restrooms in publicly-accessible federal buildings to contain baby changing stations,” said Ludwig. “There is more change coming in the private sector. But not as fast as many of us would have wished.” Ludwig said statistics show that men are continuing to take a more active role « continued on page 21A

Obituaries Davidson, Sara Jane (Sally) Woodyard died Friday, Nov. 10, 2017, following a stroke. Sally was born on Aug. 28, 1920, and grew up in Oak Park, Ill. She graduated from Denison University in 1942 where her mother was a Phi Beta Kappa, her Mrs. Davidson father was a trustee and her brother now teaches. Two weeks before graduation, she married John L. Davidson Jr., a naval officer who was about to be shipped out to sea during WWII. She contributed to the war effort by working for the draft board and the price control office. Following the war they lived in Chicago, where John practiced law. In 1952, they moved to Springfield where John served as first assistant attorney general for the state of Illinois. In 1956, they moved to St. Louis for John’s job as general counsel for the Wabash Railroad, where they lived the balance of their 50 years of marriage until John died in 1993. Sally fell in love again and, in 1997, married Joe Traxler, who died nine months later. Sally is survived by her three children – John Davidson (with Barbara) in Camden, Maine; Mary McWilliams in Seattle, Wash.;0 and Woody Davidson in Albuquerque, N.M. – seven grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, her brother David Woodyard (with Joanne) and nieces Kim and Sara Jane Woodyard. She volunteered for the Missouri Botanical Garden, where she gave tours for 20 years and chaired the guides. She was a member of the Junior League of St. Louis and the Wednesday Club. She volunteered with the United Way and chaired the investment committee for two Women’s Investment Clubs. She was actively involved at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, where she served on the vestry and senior warden, and led the effort to create the memorial garden 30 years ago. She enjoyed her active life at Pacific Place where she lived independently until her stroke last week. Services are Friday, Nov. 24, at 10 a.m., at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, 9 S.

Vianney High School soccer coach Brian Haddock had a special message for his disappointed players, especially his 15 seniors, after the Golden Griffins lost 3-2 to Rockhurst in the Class 4 Missouri State Boys Soccer Championship on Nov. 11 at the World Wide Technology Soccer Park in Fenton. The game marked Vianney’s first state championship appearance since 2010. The Golden Griffins now have four second-place finishes and seven state championships, with the last coming in 1992. “In my mind, you are champions,” Haddock said. “You will always be champions.” Vianney’s hard-nosed, “never-say-die” attitude against Rockhurst was a reflection of its 23-8-2 season. The players left every ounce of energy on the turf. “It’s unfortunate we lost, but the most important thing was we left it all out on the field,” Golden Griffins midfielder Steven Bibas said. “I couldn’t be happier.” Vianney surrendered goals in the first five minutes of each half to trail 2-0, but forward Kamou Harris headed Bibas’ free kick into the net to cut the deficit to 2-1 with 13 minutes, seven seconds left in regulation. The momentum quickly shifted and brought the Golden Griffin reserves onto their feet for the remainder of the game. Unfortunately, Vianney received four yellow cards late in the half for players arguing with the refs. That led to Rockhurst adding a third goal on a penalty kick to give the Hawklets a 3-1 lead with 1:35 remaining in regulation.

“Sometimes young players and passion don’t mix,” Coach Haddock said. The Golden Griffins rebounded with their final goal of the season when forward Jacob Sansone knocked in his teamleading 13th goal of the season on Clay Kopp’s pass with 53 seconds left. “That was a typical Jacob Sansone goal – rough and tough, rock ‘em, sock ‘em on 50-50 balls,” Haddock said. Vianney simply ran out of time. “It took every second to beat us,” Haddock said. “It literally came down to the final seconds of the state final. Just as long as there was a couple of seconds on the clock, I wouldn’t put it past our guys to put another one in there. That’s what we’re all about. If Rockhurst was going to win, they knew they were going to be in for an

80-minute battle. We wanted to make sure we left nothing on the field and I think we did that. We gave them our best.” Golden Griffin midfielder Bibas, Vianney’s point leader with 33 (12 goals, nine assists), said he would have liked to have a little more time in the championship game, but he’s still very happy with the team’s season. “To get this far was a blessing,” Bibas said. “We wanted to show what Vianney soccer is all about – that’s what we did.” Vianney finished the final half of the season with a 16-3 record. “We kept building for the playoffs and I really thought we were playing our best soccer the last month of the season,” Coach Haddock said. “No matter what happened today, we are proud of them.”

Vianney Football Season Ends With Loss To Pattonville by Rick Frese

Vianney High School’s football season came down to two plays in the final minute of the Class 5 state quarterfinals against Pattonville High Schoool with the score tied at 27-27. The first play was a fourth down and one yard to go for a first down at the Pattonville two-yard line. Vianney elected to go for it instead of kicking a field goal. Golden Griffins quarterback Tionne Harris ended up losing a yard on the play to turn the ball

over with one minute, 15 seconds left in regulation. On the ensuing play, Pattonville surprised everybody when running back David Ellison Jr. connected with a wideopen tight end Dakari Streeter at the 12 on a jump pass. From there, Streeter rumbled for a game-winning 97-yard touchdown with 46.6 seconds remaining. Along the way, he broke a tackle at midfield and received a key block at the Vianney 25. Pattonville placekicker Taylor Womack’s extra point produced a 34-27 victory on Nov. 10 to end defending Class

5 champion Vianney’s season with a 10-2 record. The entertaining, down-to-the-wire game produced big plays from both sides. Pattonville (8-3) recorded three fourthdown stops, including two inside the five-yard line. Vianney’s Harris and wide receiver Kyren Williams collaborated on three passing touchdowns of 19, 35 and 13 yards. Fullback Percy Mitchell scored the Golden Griffins’ other touchdown on a 10-yard scamper. Devin Ward blocked an extra point to leave the game tied at 27-27

and set up the improbable finish. Harris, a four-year starter, and his fellow seniors produced many happy memories, which includes winning the school’s first state championship last season over Fort Zumwalt North 49-14 on Nov. 26, 2016, at Plaster Stadium in Springfield, Mo. There’s also been two district titles, being a 2017 state quarterfinalist and recording a fouryear record of 33-16. For his career, Harris rewrote the Vianney passing record book. “They were special, special kids,” Vianney Coach Paul Day said.

Giving Thanks For Turkey, Traditions & Trends Thanksgiving of 1621 doesn’t resemble the holiday that’s celebrated today

by Suzanne Corbett etting the Thanksgiving menu is all about tradition. A menu steeped in family culinary traditions that are often based on romantic images of Plymouth Colony’s Pilgrims and oversized roasted turkeys, candied sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie. A short list of must haves on the American Thanksgiving table is a feast few 18th-century Pilgrims would recognize. “Visitors to Plimoth Plantation are often surprised when we don’t look like a Hallmark card — dressed in big hats and with buckle shoes. They’re also surprised to learn that the 1621 Thanksgiving doesn’t resemble the holiday that’s celebrated today,” said Kathleen Wall, Plimoth Plantation’s Colonial Culinarian. “Deer was the centerpiece and turkey wasn’t the only bird on the table.” The Pilgrims’ turkey wasn’t the big-breasted butterball bird that is venerated on today’s Thanksgiving table. It was the native wild turkey that is downright scrawny. According to early 17th century culinary practices, these turkeys were more often boiled or baked into pies similar to a potpie. And forget the jellied cranberry sauce. Cranber-

ries more likely were found folded into a stuffing for meat than sugared and cooked into a relish. Sugar was far too expensive and in short supply to waste. As for the rest of the original Thanksgiving menu, Wall explained how historians can assume there was maze, beans and squash along with lobsters, clams, roasted ducks, geese and turkey. And turkey back in Plimoth could have been served with an onion sauce stewed with bread crumbs. We can give thanks turkey with onion sauce fell out of culinary fashion for the Thanksgiving table. As for the rest of the 1621 menu, you won’t find whipped potatoes, apple pies and candied sweet potatoes. None of those crops had yet to be established in New England. And while there was pumpkin there wasn’t the pumpkin pie topped with whipped cream. That delicacy wasn’t a staple on the menu until the mid 1800s. “We do have a 1653 recipe for a pumpkin pie that calls for a dozen eggs and resembles more of a frittata than what we would think of as traditional pumpkin pie,” Wall said. Pushing through time Thanksgiving menu today is a mix of Victorian

era recipes and traditions laced with and modern trend and seasoned with a family’s ethnicity. Such is the case for Chef Josh Schlink, River City Casino & Hotel’s vice president of culinary operations who assembles his Thanksgiving table at home and for his Great Food Exposition buffet to reflect both the traditional family favorites with the trendy. “People look for the traditional favorites; the whipped potatoes, cranberry relish and dressing. On the buffet we’ll have cornbread dressing but at home I’ll have what I grew up with, sausage dressing,” said Chef Josh who reports using an Italian sausage, which his Italian wife applauses. An excellent example of redefining Thanksgiving by incorporating international flavors into the menu is Cibare Italian Kitchen’s take on turkey. According to Chef Josh, Cibare Chef Paulo is boning turkey breasts and stuffing them with chestnuts and black truffles and serving it with butternut gnocchi flavored with pecorino cheese and sage.

Transfer the mixture to the casserole and bake in the oven for 50 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to distribute the browned bits and keep it from sticking every 20 minutes, until browned on top.

Turkey, Traditions & Trends from page 1B and ingredients while giving Thanksgiving an Italian accent. Of course, there are those who will always want to make their own Thanksgiving turkey. When asked what’s the secret to creating a moist turkey, Chef Josh shared two tips. “First I take a piece of cheesecloth soaked in a mixture of half melted butter and half white wine and lay it over the top of the turkey as it roasts. It gives a beautifully bronzed, moist bird. I also flip the turkey upside down when it comes out of the oven and let it rest for 30 to 40 minutes; then flip it right side up. This allows the moisture to flow

back into the beast before it’s carved.” For those not interested in hitting the buffets or cooking their own birds there are alternatives. Buy a bird already prepared such as those fried or smoked at Highway 61 Roadhouse in Webster Groves. “This is about the sixth year we’ve been frying and smoking turkeys,” said Highway 61 Roadhouse owner Bill Kunz. “People like the convenience because lets face it — it’s a lot of work to fry or smoke a turkey, especially frying a turkey that takes a lot of oil. Oil is expensive and then you’re stuck trying to figure out what to do with all that oil after you’re done. When we fry your turkey you don’t have any of that to worry

tionalists who want to serve Thanksgiving at home without having to cook it. “It’s a convenience thing,” said Kunz. “That’s’ why we just don’t do turkeys but the whole meal. You can order what you want – the turkey, the sides or the entire meal.”

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

Justice League

Kent’s Grade: B- Lynn’s Grade: C+

Genre: Action/Fantasy/Sci-fi Rated: PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi violence and action.

THE PLOT: Superman is dead. Some mourn the loss, others rejoice. Batman (Ben Affleck), with the help of Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), begin to recruit Meta-humans to help them in future conflicts. As the team grows with the additions of Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and The Flash (Ezra Miller), the future is realized sooner than expected. When three ancient Mother Stones suddenly activate, they summon demigod Steppenwolf (Ciarán Hinds) who begins gathering the stones in order to transform earth into his dark haven. Discovering that their powers may not be enough to defeat Steppenwolf, Batman and his Justice League attempt a dangerous and volatile experiment – whose results may cause “super” trouble. KENT’S TAKE: The Marvel vs. DC battle continues at theaters and between fans. Yet, DC has a new weapon that could turn the tide – Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman. DC films are plot-driven action adventures, fueled by villains’ nefarious plans. Building on previous films, we witness the repercussions of Superman’s death. As the Justice League battles Steppenwolf, their personalities fall away and the action ensues. This results in a film that is less layered, more straightforward and less emotional – in other words, a more traditional action film. The heart of this film is Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman. This Amazon is powerful, graceful and deadly, and has resisted taking the lead – until now. Affleck’s troubled Dark Knight has begun to see the light and so have fans as the negative reac-

tion to his casting has turned to outright acceptance. Director Zack Snyder paces this adventure well, while balancing an ensemble cast. Although Aquaman could be a problem as he is simply a punching bag in this film. “Justice League” brings plenty of action and enough characterization and narrative to this origin story to satisfy, yet the next installment must be elevated. LYNN’S TAKE: The most maddening aspect of franchise movies is that they are basically setups for the next one. The current blockbuster superhero mindset is frustrating, because of the assembly-line formula feel. “Justice League” is DC Comics’ trying hard to compete with Marvel’s successful formula, yet still feels clunky and derivative. That said, “Justice League” is a vast improvement over the tepid and painful “Batman vs. Superman.” Joss Whedon’s influence is apparent in the snappy banter – he’s the screenwriter revered for the first “The Avengers” as well as “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Toy Story,” and was called in to write additional scenes. Thankfully, because director Zack Snyder’s penchant for video-game action and elongated scenes of computer-generated mayhem is tiresome, and bogs down the goodwill. The likable actors do what they can to live up to their mythical characters, using their superpowers for good – and comically show them off, because they can. However, cramming them all in, explaining their origins and resolving conflicts is an extra-heavy load. The plot density is its downfall. The mumbo-jumbo about three boxes that could destroy the planet, and the giant foe Steppenwolf isn’t clear, and doesn’t make us care.

Best Ever Poppy Seed Bread

Candy Apple Pie

This is incredibly good. The recipe is from a small mid-Missouri bakery and was given to me by the owner. I have been baking it every Christmas since then, over 30 years now. People start asking about it in September. The bakery closed a few years ago, but the bread survives.

2-1/2 cups cooking apples, such as Granny Smith, peeled or unpeeled in 1-inch cubes 1/3 cup walnut pieces 1/4 cup cinnamon red hots

3 cups flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking powder 3 eggs 1-1/8 cup vegetable oil 2-1/4 cups sugar 1-1/2 cups milk 1-1/2 tsp. vanilla 1-1/2 tsp. almond extract

1-1/2 tsp. butter extract 1-1/2 Tbls. poppy seeds

In a large bowl toss together apples, walnuts, cinnamon candies, 1/4 cup sugar and flour. Pour into one frozen pie crust. Sprinkle two tablespoons sugar onto second pie crust. Crumble frozen crust into small pieces, about one half inch. Sprinkle crumbled crust and sugar over apples. Bake on a preheated baking sheet in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes. Cool.

GLAZE: 1/4 cup prepared orange juice 1 tsp. lemon juice 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1/2 tsp. almond extract 1/2 tsp. butter extract

Lisa Rapp | Oakville

Mix flour, salt, baking powder, eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, milk, vanilla, almond extract, butter extract and poppy seeds together. Pour batter into two bread loaf pans covered with cooking spray. Bake for one hour or more at 350 degrees. Test for doneness with a toothpick. Let cool. Whisk orange juice, lemon juice, sugar, vanilla, almond extract and butter extract together until sugar is dissolved. Brush liberally over cooled bread. David White | Sunset Hills

Christmas Logs The following recipe is from my grandmother who was of German descent. She would make these cookies every Christmas. When I make them over the holidays, they bring back fond memories of her and the big Christmas party with all our cousins she would have at her home. 1 cup butter 2 tsp. vanilla 2 tsp. rum extract 3/4 cup sugar

Blonde Brownies with White Chocolate and Orange Flavored Cranberries

1 egg 3 cup flour 1 tsp. nutmeg

Beat butter, vanilla and rum extract. Gradually add sugar and beat in egg. Mix in flour and nutmeg. On lightly floured surface, roll into strips 1/2-inch wide. Then cut into 2-inch logs. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.

This easy recipe goes perfect with the holidays. Why not serve these instead of a standard chocolate brownie. Your guests will thank you. 1 cup dried cranberries 2 cups orange juice 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened 1-1/2 cups light brown sugar 2 tsp. vanilla

1/4 cup sugar 2 Tbls. flour 2 frozen pie crusts 2 Tbls. sugar

2 eggs 1-1/2 cups flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1 cup white chocolate baking chips

FROSTING: 3 Tbls. butter 1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. rum extract 2-1/2 cups powdered sugar 2-3 Tbls. milk or cream

Combine all frosting ingredients together. Ice cookies and decorate with your favorite sprinkles or nonpareils. Susan Linan | Kirkwood

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cranberries in a bowl. Cover the cranberries with orange juice to rehydrate. In a medium bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar. Add the vanilla and eggs. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix well. Fold in the white chocolate chips. Drain the orange juice off of the cranberries. Add the rehydrated cranberries to the brownie mixture. Coat a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. Add the brownie batter to the pan and press evenly. Bake 15 to 20 minutes depending on the type of pan used (glass/metal/dark coated). Cool completely and cut into squares. Colleen K. | Grantwood Village

Church Stained Glass Windows

Cranberry Eggnog Braid

This recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law, Catherine, when I married in 1972. She has since passed, but I still make these and think of her when I do. These look so pretty on a cookie tray and taste great.

Whether at Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s, this is a good party bread. You can’t beat it as a gift either... everyone I make it for really enjoys it.

2 cups chocolate chips 1/2 cup butter

1 cup finely diced pecans 10 oz. package of colored mini marshmallows

Melt the chocolate chips and butter in a double boiler (or carefully in the microwave). Mix the chopped nuts and marshmallows in a large bowl. When the chocolate chips and butter are melted, mix with the nuts and marshmallows. Chill in the refrigerator for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. When chilled, spread the mixture on a piece of wax paper and shape into a 12-inch log. Wrap tightly and refrigerate overnight. Carefully slice into half-inch pieces. Janet (Geimer) Smith | Affton

GLAZE: 1 cup powdered sugar 1 to 2 Tbls. eggnog 1/4 tsp. vanilla dash nutmeg

3 to 3-1/2 cups flour, divided 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 oz. active dry yeast 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg 1-1/4 cups eggnog 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup dried cranberries

In a bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups of flour, sugar, salt, yeast and nutmeg; set aside. In a saucepan, heat eggnog and butter to 120-130 degrees (the butter does not need to melt); add to flour mixture. Beat on low until moistened; beat on medium for three minutes. Stir in cranberries and enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.

Coconut Thumbprint Cookies

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about six to eight minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about one hour.

This cookie recipe is new to me. I first tried it at a bridal shower. I just love the toasted coconut taste.

Punch dough down; divide into thirds. Shape each third into a 16-inch rope. Braid ropes on a greased baking sheet; seal ends. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden. Immediately remove from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Combine the first three glaze ingredients; drizzle over braid. Dust with nutmeg. Yield: 1 loaf, 10 to 12 servings.

1-1/2 cups butter at room temperature 1 cup sugar 1 tsp. vanilla 3-1/2 cups flour 1/4 tsp. salt

1 egg 1 tsp. water 7 oz. sweetened flaked coconut jam

Renata Kheim | Webster Groves

Cream butter and sugar until combined. Add vanilla. Sift flour and salt. With mixer on low speed add flour and salt mixture to butter and sugar mixture. Mix dough until it starts to come together. Dump on floured board. Roll together into a flat disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes. Combine egg and water to form an egg wash. Roll dough into 1-3/4 inch balls. Dip each ball into egg wash and then into coconut. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and press indentation in center with your finger. Drop 1/4 teaspoon or more of jam in each indentation. Bake 20 to 25 minutes at 350 degrees until coconut is golden brown. Makes 32 cookies. Cindy Tench | Crestwood

Cranberry Sauce My husband looks forward to this dish at Thanksgiving and Christmas and is sad when the bowl is empty. 24 oz. fresh cranberries 1/2 cup orange zest 1 cup orange juice

2 cups sugar 1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans 1/2 cup bourbon or white zinfandel

Mix all ingredients in a heavy sauce pan, stirring constantly for 10 to 20 minutes, until mixture thickens somewhat. Let cool. Can make recipe one to two days before serving. Cindy Tench | Crestwood

Spray the bottom of an 8- to 9-inch (round) cake pan with cooking spray. Dump in enough cranberries to cover the bottom of the pan with one layer. Sprinkle nuts over berries. Sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar over the berries and nuts.

Mix together the melted butter, eggs, flour and one cup sugar until well blended and pour, or spread, over the berry mix. Bake at 350 degrees until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Usually 30 to 40 minutes.

As soon as the tart comes out of oven, invert round pan onto a serving plate. Careful, tart will be hot. Tap round pan to make sure all of the tart releases onto plate. Jennifer Carter | Crestwood

Stir in the flour and mix with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a mass in the center of the pan and can easily be removed from the sides of the pan. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing with hand-held mixer between each egg. Add the salt and stir well. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and use a 1-1/2 inch scoop to scoop the batter from the saucepan and onto the sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the puffs are dry and golden brown. Allow them to cool to room temperature. To make the cream filling, place the pudding and half & half into a mixer and beat on high for three to four minutes. Scrape the bottom of the bowl several times to make sure that the dry pudding mix does not get stuck. Allow the pudding to sit for a few minutes. It will continue to thicken. Take a serrated knife and cut each of the cream puffs in half. Spoon the cream filling into the bottom half of each cream puff, then top with the other half. To make the chocolate glaze, place the chocolate chips and cream in a glass measuring cup. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each one until the chocolate is smooth and silky. Add the vanilla and salt and stir well. Allow the mixture to sit for three to four minutes. Carefully spread a dollop of the chocolate glaze over the top of each cream puff. Serve and enjoy. Refrigerate leftovers for up to three days. Yield: 30 cream puffs. Renate Kheim | Webster Groves

Egg White Cookies

I promised to keep a friend up on high school news (Cleveland High School) when he joined the Navy in the late ‘60s. When he was stationed in Vietnam, I asked his mom what his favorite cookies were, so that I could send them to him for Christmas. I expected chocolate chip. I was surprised to hear “egg white cookies.” I learned how to make them and after 45 years of marriage, I still make them for him every Christmas. 1 cup sugar 3 large egg whites 1-1/4 cup coconut

1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans (optional) 2 drops of red or green food coloring

32 28

Beat egg whites until stiff. Add sugar slowly. Fold coconut and vanilla into the mixture. Fold in food coloring and pecans. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease and flour cookie sheets. Drop 1/2 teaspoon of dough onto cookies sheet an inch apart. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Carefully remove and cool on racks. These can be stored for a couple of weeks (or a trip overseas).

Filled Cupcakes This has been a family favorite with just chocolate cake and chocolate chips. My mom made them. I make them. Now my daughter makes them. Kids and adults love them. So easy to make. The surprise filling will make you forget that the cupcakes are not frosted. 1 red velvet cake mix prepared according to package directions* 8 oz. cream cheese, softened 1/3 cup sugar

1 egg dash salt 6 oz. holiday colored baking morsels*

Prepare the cake batter and set aside. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with sugar. Add egg and salt. Stir in the baking morsels. Fill muffin pans with cupcake liners. Fill each liner 2/3 with cake batter. Drop one teaspoon of cream cheese filling into the center of the cake batter. Bake as the cake mix directs for cupcakes. Remove from the oven and cool. Sprinkle each cupcake with powdered sugar. Yields about 30 cupcakes. *This recipe is adjustable to use any combination of cake batter and chocolate/ butterscotch/ holiday morsels. Mini M&Ms and Reese’s Pieces would also work. Colleen K. | Grantwood Village

German Poppy Seed Cake Mohnkuchen mit Eierdecke This cake has a cookie crust, poppy seed filling and a baked, sour cream topping. All ingredients can be easily found in the United States. Poppy seed cakes are so delicious. They are made all over Europe all year round, but we always baked it for Christmas. CRUST: 14 Tbls. salted butter 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar zest from one orange 2 egg yolks whisked with 2 Tbls. water POPPY SEED FILLING: 2 cups milk 1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar 1 tsp. vanilla 1/3 cup farina, such as Cream of Wheat

1 cup ground poppy seeds 2 Tbls. butter 2 egg whites, stiffly beaten SOUR CREAM TOPPING: 1 cup sour cream 1/2 cup sweet cream 1-1/2 Tbls. flour 1/3 cup sugar 2 eggs, separated several drops of lemon extract or vanilla

For the crust, cut butter into flour, sugar and orange zest until pea-sized crumbs form. Quickly mix in the egg yolks and form a smooth ball, without kneading too much. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for one hour. To make the filling, bring milk, sugar and vanilla to a boil. Remove from heat, pour in farina, stirring constantly, then poppy seeds. Place back on heat and boil again, briefly. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool down. While still warm, stir in butter until melted. (Do not beat the egg whites until you are ready to fill the crust.) To make the topping, beat two egg whites until stiff. Mix all the sour cream topping ingredients together except the egg whites, until smooth. Fold in the egg whites. Beat the other two egg whites and fold into the cooled poppy seed mixture. Roll out the crust. Divide dough in half. Roll one half out into an 11-inch circle, and cut to fit bottom of an 11-inch springform pan. Roll out 1/4 of the dough into a rope and flatten into a 1 or 1-1/2 inch rim. Press around the edge of the springform and attach to the base with a little water or egg white. Continue with the rest of dough. Trim crust evenly for nice presentation. Fill crust with poppy seed filling and top with sour cream filling, making sure to cover to the edge of the crust seal. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes, or until cake is browned and firmly set. Makes 12-16 pieces.

Happenings! Around 1985, when I was newly married, I sold cosmetics at Dillards Department Store. At the Clinique counter was an older woman named Jewel, who always had the best recipes for me. I was learning to cook for my new husband, and I made this dessert a lot for him and for my friends who would drop by the house. Everyone loved my sweets and also enjoyed my espresso machine. Gourmet coffee beans were just becoming popular with the advent of a new company called “Starbucks.” We didn’t have much money then to go out to the clubs, so we would watch the X-Files TV show, and have cappuccino and this dessert. Hope that you enjoy it as much as we have over the years. 3/4 cup melted butter 2 cups graham crackers crumbs 12 oz. chocolate chips 8 oz. butterscotch morsels 14 oz. flaked coconut 8 oz. pecan pieces

14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk 3/4 cup half and half 1 Tbls. butter 8 oz. semisweet chocolate chips 1/4 tsp. vanilla chocolate ice cream

Combine melted butter and graham crackers and press together in a square pan. Layer chocolate chips, butterscotch morsels, coconut and pecans on top. Drizzle sweetened condensed milk over the top and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Cool completely. Combine half and half and one tablespoon butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Heat until a thin paper-like skin appears on top. DO NOT BOIL! Add the chocolate chips and vanilla. Stir until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool. This makes 1-1/2 cups. Slice cookies into eight equal pieces and place one piece of the bar cookie on four individual plates. Then put two scoops of chocolate ice cream on each bar cookie. Top the ice cream with the remaining cookie pieces and drizzle with chocolate sauce. Carol White | Sunset Hills

12 oz. chocolate chips (or 6 oz. chocolate chips and 6 oz. butterscotch chips) 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Holiday Eggnog Back in the 1950s every year a neighbor brought us a quart of eggnog in a glass bottle from a dairy in Hardin, Illinois. When she did, we knew it was the official beginning of the holiday season. In the 1960s she stopped going to Hardin, so my dad Adrian Mix, who loved Christmastime and all the traditions surrounding it, took it upon himself to make his own eggnog. This is his recipe. 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 tsp. cinnamon 1/4 tsp. ground ginger 1/4 tsp. ground cloves 6 eggs, well beaten

1-1/2 quart chilled orange juice 1/4 cup lemon juice 1 quart vanilla ice cream 1 quart ginger ale nutmeg

Beat sugar and spices into beaten eggs. Stir in chilled orange juice and lemon juice. Cut ice cream into chunks. Place in punch bowl. Slowly pour ginger ale down the side of the bowl. Gently stir in egg mixture. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Makes 20 servings. Kathie Mix Dunsford | Webster Groves

Old Fashioned Bread Pudding with Hot Caramel Sauce We have a yearly block party and one of the neighbors came with this wonderful bread pudding, which has become a tradition at Christmas in our house. The caramel sauce is so delicious. 7 cups fresh or stale, white bread, crusts removed and cut into 1-inch cubes 1/2 cup golden raisins 1/2 cup melted butter 4 eggs 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 tsp. grated nutmeg 2 tsp. vanilla

This recipe came from my friend Jane and it is hard to resist. These brownies are really dense and hard to pass up. 1-1/4 cup flour 1 cup chopped pecans powdered sugar to sprinkle on top after baked and cooled

Meanwhile make the sauce. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together, whisking vigorously as the mixture cooks. Bring to boil, remove from heat and whisk in the salt, vanilla and evaporated milk. Cut the pudding into squares and top each serving with some of the hot caramel sauce. Renate Kheim | Webster Groves

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in microwave or sauce pan. Add cocoa. Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each egg. Add vanilla and flour and mix well. Add pecans. Spread into a 9x9-inch greased pan and bake 35 to 40 minutes. Cool. Sprinkle cooled brownies with powdered sugar. Cindy Tench | Crestwood

Pumpkin Bee Sting Pie It just isn’t Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie. My attractive and easy version of pumpkin pie is different from the side-of-the-can recipe. It starts with a delicious honey-sweetened filling. It’s baked until the filling is set, then topped with a wonderful honey-almond-coconut mixture and popped back into the oven until the topping is crispy and golden. The result is a crunchy, creamy, spiced dessert that is a favorite with my family. 1 pinch salt 1 unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie shell

FILLING: 15 oz. can pumpkin 3 eggs 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup honey 1 tsp. ground ginger 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 pinch ground cloves 1 pinch ground nutmeg

TOPPING: 1/2 cup sliced almonds 1 cup flaked unsweetened coconut 1/4 cup honey 2 Tbls. butter

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine pumpkin, eggs, cream, honey, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Pour into pie shell and bake for 60 minutes. In a small bowl, combine almonds and coconut. In a small saucepan, combine honey and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until butter is melted. Pour over almonds and coconut and stir until well coated. Sprinkle the almond mixture evenly over the top of the baked pie. Return the pie to the oven until the topping is golden brown, approximately 15 minutes. Let cool for two hours on a cooling rack. Store the pie in the refrigerator. Yields eight servings. Lisa Rapp | Oakville

Pumpkin Bisque 6 cups half & half 1/4 tsp. nutmeg 1 tsp. cinnamon

ICING: 1/4 cup butter 4 oz. cream cheese 1/2 pound powdered sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 cup chopped pecans 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Mix oil and sugar. Mix flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, allspice and cinnamon. Add dry ingredients to pumpkin. Add eggs one at a time. Beat well. Add vanilla, pecans, raisins and pineapple.

Slow Cooker Chocolate Candy

This recipe is a great way to use leftover pumpkin from other recipes. I make and donate this popular and delicious fudge for the Stonecroft Ministries Annual Bazaar and Bake Sale.
