The Dunn Road Manor Thread Heads consists of seniors volunteering their time to sew various items for youth in need By Charlotte Beard Many seniors demonstrate that reaching retirement age does not mean reaching an age of discontinuing their contribution to society. Some of those seniors can be found among the community at Dunn Road Manor - Lutheran Senior Services in Florissant. Since the spring of 2018, a group of 17 seniors have committed to volunteering their time to sew various items for youth in need. They are called the Dunn Road Manor Thread Heads. The oldest Thread Heads member is 86 years old. Some participants do not sew due to lack of desire or physical limitations but are involved in other activities, such as cutting out patterns or ironing material. Claudette Jackson began as one of those who prepared the material for sewing but now that she has a sewing machine, she will be an additional seamstress for the group. The group assembles bi-weekly to sew. Occasionally other residents join them to volunteer their time. In addition, some members sew independently in their
rooms, like Daisy Jones. Jones, who has been with the Thread Heads since its inception, shared, “I have always wanted to be a help to a person that needs help.” Leigh Anne Hoormann, Service Coordinator for Dunn Road Manor shares how the group first began a year ago. “I do an annual assessment with (the residents) to see what kind of services they may need,” stated Hoormann, “and (their interests) so I can bring those volunteers or activities into the community to keep them engaged as long as possible, and as independent as possible. I saw that there was a big interest in crafts, especially sewing. This group is very giving. They always like to do things for the community. We had someone at our corporate office who had told us she was going on a mission trip and she was looking for someone to make bags for children in Guatemala. I told the residents about it and they said, ‘We should start a sewing group; we could make these
tote bags for these children.’ So, (when) this started last spring they made over 100 tote bags for (the mission trip). That was the first project. Then they wanted to continue; they started making teddy bears. Those have been given to groups around the area, (such as) Crisis Nursery and area children’s hospitals as well as the police force.” After the Thread Heads’ initial projects were completed, they desired to participate in Operation Christmas Child. Operation Christmas Child is an annual initiative to provide shoe box gifts through the Samaritan’s Purse organization. The group of seniors were informed that there was a great need for reusable feminine napkins for young girls. The group found a sewing pattern online and began their new project before the summer of 2018. Their project was completed for inclusion in the shoe box gifts that went to girls.

The group is accepting donations now and plans to begin assembling all boxes the first week in November. “Everything that they use comes through donations,” stated Hoormann. “Because our community is for low-income seniors, there is no specific budget for this type of program.

COMMUNITY VOICES
By Dr. Rance Thomas
Working together to reduce crime In addition to all the problems we are facing in our country, we are facing a major and dangerous situation that needs to be dealt with at this time. This situation is the increase in violent crime in our cities and in our suburban areas as well. We have an increasing number of individuals committing such crimes as murder, high jacking cars, shooting into cars, shooting into homes, street robberies, burglaries, etc. This is especially true in some of our major cities, such as Chicago and St. Louis. These are also happening more often than in the past in suburban areas and small towns as well as other areas. Both of these major cities claim that they do not have enough police officers to be in the areas where these crimes are more prevalent, and this is true to some extent. We have to ask the question of why they don’t have enough police officers. However, one wonders about the police policing the streets in crime ridden areas. For example, one can ride up and down some of these streets for some period of time and never see a police car or a police officer.
Although it is difficult to reduce these crimes, it is not impossible. There are some ways to do so, and we need to be aware of them and address them. For example, it is absolutely essential to have more officers patrolling these highcrime areas. Second, we need to be more aware of what causes these crimes and deal with these causes. One reason for these increases is the dropout rate in high schools. For example, at least 75 percent of these crimes are committed by high school dropouts. In fact, over 75 percent of inmates in prison are in this category. These are just the ones who are caught, convicted and sent to prison. There are many more out there who are never caught. Therefore, one way to deal with this problem is for schools to establish programs to reduce the dropout rate. In today’s society, education is very important for our young people to become productive and law abiding citizens. Some schools have begun to address this issue and have established high school dropout prevention programs. This is true for both Hazelwood and Ferguson-Flo-
rissant School Districts in North County, and they have had some success. However, more effort needs to be made by all schools to further reduce this dropout rate. This is especially true for African Americans who are disproportionately imprisoned, because they have a higher dropout rate and thus a higher crime rate and are five times more likely to be sent to prison. Therefore, we need to work especially with them to increase their graduation rate so they will be able to be more productive and law abiding because of their graduation from school.

Northwest Views: Trauma-informed care at the Saint Louis Crisis Nursery
www.byerlyrv.com
By DiAnne L. Mueller Summer is just around the bend, and for most kids, that means pool parties, family barbeques, and long days playing in the sun with friends. But for the children who find a safe haven at the Saint Louis Crisis Nursery, they’ve often got more on their minds than family vacations and swimming pools. Many children served by the Crisis Nursery have experienced extremely stressful situations that stick with them and can make it difficult to feel safe or enjoy normal childhood activities. Experiences such as witnessing violence in their home or community, not having a consistent place to live, having a parent who is incarcerated, or not having enough food, can all be overwhelming for children. Experts call these experiences like this trauma, and more and more studies are coming out describing the widespread impact of trauma on young children. Often these impacts can include behaviors which are very disruptive for children and the adults in their lives. It is critical that helping professionals know how to identify symptoms of trauma early so that they can respond in ways that help the child heal and lessen the long term impacts. At the Crisis Nursery, we use approaches that are “trauma-informed,” ensuring kids have a safe space just to be kids. When families in our community are struggling with overwhelming situations, like homelessness, community and domestic violence, or if they need a safe place for their children, they reach out to the Crisis Nursery.
Parents know that at the nursery their children will feel safe, loved, and welcomed when things are too tough for them to be at home. At the Saint Louis Crisis Nursery, children participate in Art and Play Therapy and individualized activities throughout the day to help reduce the impact of trauma they have experienced and to increase their ability to cope with future stressors. Our entire team receives training in the many ways trauma can affect children, as well as the best ways to respond. By committing to the trauma-informed approach, we demonstrate to our kids and families that no matter what challenges they have faced, we are here to work through them together and to empower them to build the future they envision for themselves. DiAnne L. Mueller, M.S., LPC, has been Chief Executive Officer of the Saint Louis Crisis Nursery for 24 years and is a nationally known thought-leader in the area of child abuse prevention. Mueller is an inspiring presenter and an extraordinary champion for children. She has lent her expertise to many organizations nationwide that plan to start their own ‘crisis nursery’ program and has consulted with children’s advocates across the country.

Amusement park doubles as physics lab for Normandy eighth graders When gifted students in the Normandy Schools Collaborative went to an amusement park last month, it wasn’t the just for the rides and funnel cakes. For the third consecutive year, eighth graders in the Normandy Gifted and Talented Education (G.A.T.E.) program participated in the Six Flags Physics Day, an event where students use engineering design principles to analyze how physics is used in the operation of roller coasters. The Six Flags trip is the culminating activity for the G.A.T.E. students’ study of physics and engineering design. “The students ride the roller coasters and using the principles they have studied in class, they figure out which roller coaster is the fastest, and what are the coasters’ different speeds,” said Vivian Johnson, GATE teacher at the Normandy 7th-8th Grade Center. “Based on that data, the students then make their calculations and graph their findings.” Through the project, JaRae Cole, eighth grader at Normandy 7th-8th Grade Center, realized the difficulty in designing roller coasters. “It takes a lot of effort to design and construct roller coasters,” Cole said. “There is a lot of hard work and energy put into making them.” The Six Flags Physics Day draws high school students from throughout the metro area. However, the Normandy students are usually the only middle school students attending the event, Johnson remarked. Earlier this year, GATE students in grades four through eight participated in the From Roller Skates
to Roller Coasters event at Great Skate in St. Peters. At the event they used roller skates to study physics theories of motion, acceleration and speed. “The activities are part of our STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) unit, which included our eighth graders constructing a hydraulic robotic arm and designing their own roller coasters,” said Vivian Johnson. “The students follow the engineering design process where they design and build the projects. They ask questions, make modifications, then re-design the project to improve the overall design and function.” Prior to going to the April Six Flags outing, the eighth graders built their own roller coasters in class using cardstock paper and marbles.

McCluer’s COAG program prepares students for careers after high school This year, a new program was introduced to McCluer High students that prepares them for career opportunities directly out of high school, should they decide not to go to college. The program, Career Options After Graduation (COAG), introduces students to various careers in the trades and health care industry. “We focused on careers that start with competitive wages, opportunities to advance and benefits,” said John Combest, McCluer’s COAG coordinator. “Because of COAG, five students in the Class of 2019 have prepared themselves not for the end of high school, but for their beginnings.” To get students interested in the program, Combest and others spoke at several class meetings introducing COAG. Students who were interested attended meetings and went on exploratory field trips, where they were introduced to various careers in the trades and health care. Partnerships were formed with Tarlton and Northwest Health Care, and students were able to visit a construction site and a hospital. “Students had the opportunity to talk to people working in these different industries, see the work they are doing, and ask questions to better inform themselves
of the options that are available to them after graduation,” said Combest. “After the initial field trips, students were given independent opportunities to explore training facilities and meet with leaders of those career fields.” McCluer graduating seniors Kevin Seawood and Travon Rice have chosen the laborer’s union as their next step after graduation. Ronnie Griffin, the President of Local 110, has met with both students and will be working with them to prepare for their new careers and help them to find employment. Chris Love and Christian Nichols have chosen carpentry as their future career path. Henry Johnson, the curriculum director of the Carpenters Joint Apprenticeship Program, has talked with both students and will be helping them with future education and in finding their future companies. De’Marco Poole has taken a different route, as he knew as a sophomore that the traditional college route was not the best fit for him. As a result, David Payne, owner of PayneCrest Electric and PayneCrest Family Homes, and a McCluer graduate has mentored De’Marco for the last three years to prepare him for his future career at PayneCrest Electric as an electrician. In addition to the support students re-

ceive from career leaders, the McCluer COAG counselor will also provide assistance to help the students prepare for life after high school. The counselor will regularly check in with the graduates and see if they need support for their new careers, with financial literacy, or help transitioning into life after high school until they feel comfortable in their new roles.
According to Combest, plans are to expand the COAG career options available to students in the upcoming years. If you have questions about the COAG program, would like to support the program, or would like to become a career partner, please contact John Combest at 314-5069452 or at jcombest@fergflor.org.

Grades by the athletes at UMSL are impressive The final grades have been tallied for the spring 2019 semester for University of Missouri-St. Louis student-athletes and the numbers are once again impressive.

‘Dark Phoenix’ rises as the sun sets on Fox
Movie: By Steve Bryan
Born and raised in South St. Louis, Steve Bryan is now based in Anaheim, California, and has been allowed access to movie and television sets to see actors and directors at work. Though his writing has taken him far from St. Louis, Steve is, at heart, still the same wide-eyed kid who spent countless hours watching classic movies at neighborhood theaters.
arvel Entertainment is an almost endless source of movie material. With its acquisition of major Fox Studio assets, the Walt Disney Studios, which owns Marvel Entertainment, can now bring the rest of their comic book heroes back into the cinematic fold with Captain Marvel, Black Panther and the Avengers. Longtime comic readers are also hoping for a “Fantastic Four” movie that stays faithful to the original source material. Like the Avengers, the X-Men are another popular superhero team, one that was controlled by 20th Century Fox for decades. With the Disney/Fox deal now complete, Cyclops, Professor X and the others can take their rightful places in the MCU, but only after “Dark Phoenix” arrives in theaters. Distributed by Disney, this new adventure ends the current run of “X-Men” movies and closes out the storyline started with “X-Men: First Class.” Back in its heyday, the four-color adventures of the X-Men ushered in a new age in comic books, a time when shopkeepers could sell issues for much more than cover price. As characters like Wolverine, Storm and Colossus were introduced, readers took notice. In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, back issues of the X-Men titles were in high demand at stores and comic book collection. The writing and artwork also increased in quality and complexity. Arguably, for Marvel fans, the mature, groundbreaking storylines
were the things that hooked readers. For “The X-Men,” the real game-changer was Jean Grey, who originally was known as Marvel Girl. While in space on a mission, Jean joins with the Phoenix force, which grants her incredible cosmic powers. Rechristening herself as the Phoenix, she fights alongside the X-Men and uses her new abilities to do good. Power, as the old saying goes, corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Seduced by members of the Hellfire Club, Jean becomes the Dark Phoenix, a creature with a bent moral compass. At one point, to recharge her powers, she even drains a star, but that dooms the residents of a nearby planet. She becomes a cosmic villain and extraterrestrial visitors come to Earth seeking justice. In many ways, “Dark Phoenix” is the best way to end the Fox era of “X-Men” movies. The original story from decades ago is considered a page-turning classic. 2006’s “X-Men: The Last Stand” introduced the Phoenix Saga, but it wasn’t really as satisfying as fans were hoping. The current “Dark Phoenix” looks to be better, but not quite worthy of the source material. Here’s hoping under the guidance of Marvel Entertainment, the X-Men can achieve the heights that other Marvel heroes have achieved. Fox did a nice job with the characters, but the MCU is their real home. Photo courtesy Twentieth Century Fox

Yeggs
John Hanna
Crossword: Fathers Day
‘Yeggs’ is a comic series about Robert and Bill, two rabbits who have opened their own egg franchise in the Midwest (St. Louis area). We follow their day to day lives, watching as they go about the hectic task of preparing for their one big day every year. Along the way they have adventures filled with fun, comic doings and pathos.
Moore On Life There we were outside on a glorious spring day minding our business puttering around the yard. My husband was applying the last application of his lawn maintenance potion while I tackled the weeds in the flower beds. Suddenly we heard an outburst of yelling and screeching and all out pandemonium coming from next door. “What the holy what?!” exclaimed my husband! “Sounds like a massacre taking place. Maybe we should call 911!” I imagined we would be witnesses on an upcoming murder show. They usually interview the neighbors to find out what they knew. It’s always the same comment, “Gee, I can’t imagine Burt committing such a heinous crime. He was always so quiet and kept to himself.” Note to homeowners: if any of your neighbors are quiet and keep to themselves, run for the next county or you’ll end up on an episode of “Murder and Mayhem.” Just once I’d like to hear this about the killer, “He was so loud and in your face; always singing karaoke in his garage and yodeling while he mowed the lawn. Oh he was a noisy one alright.” Back to the screaming… I was just about to push the last 1 on the 911 call when the shouting became hysterical laughter followed by an eruption of watery smacks caused by non-stop belly flops and dives. We looked at each other and said in unison, “School’s out. Pool’s open.” We returned to adulting: mulching the garden, spreading bark chips, pruning scraggly branches and cursing the dandelions amid the backdrop of splashes and splatters and hoots and giggles. Finally after the gardening tools had been properly secured in their handy tool holders; the work gloves had been shaken and put away; the mower and hedge trimmer were stored and their cords were wrapped neatly in loops and stashed, we re-

A fountain of youth laxed. “Well Sweetie, do you think you got ahead of the lawn grubs this year?” “Hope so. Did you get that nest of wasps by the shed?” “Yup.” We sat in the twilight and listened to the pool party still in full force. Oh to have so much energy. “Does that make you want to be young again and go swimming for five hours straight?” I asked. “Nope.” “Well what do you want to do?” “Watch an episode of ‘Murder and Mayhem’ and fall asleep in front of the TV.” That sounded absolutely marvelous.
