KTVI – ST. LOUIS, MO LOCAL NEWS

Following is detailed information on important local news issues aired during the report period:

Education: A Constitutional amendment giving students the right to pray in schools passes through the Missouri House. A second vote and Senate approval is needed before showing up on the November ballot. This new amendment would allow voluntary prayer in schools as long as it is private and not disruptive. Opponents contend there are already laws in place allowing religious groups to use school buildings after hours. Fox 2 News @ 5:00 am, 6:00 am, 7:00 am, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm & 9 pm. April 6, 7, 2006

Healthcare: Health officials are reporting two more cases of mumps in Illinois and cases continue to spring up across several other Midwestern states including Missouri. Until recently, most of us had not thought about mumps in a long time. The nation is struggling with the biggest outbreak of mumps in decades and most cases are concentrated in the Midwest. Three cases have been reported at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and one infected person was on an American Airlines flight that stopped at Lambert on its way to Iowa. The number of mumps cases in Iowa has now topped 1,000. In fact, there are now more than 11,000 confirmed cases. Aside from Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas, Wisconsin and Minnesota have also reported mumps outbreaks. In Iowa the first phase of mumps immunization clinics began. The state is urging young adults who are at risk to get vaccinated. Those between the ages of 18 and 22, Mumps can be transmitted through saliva, sneezing or coughing.

Eminent Domain: Opponents of eminent domain will hold a rally outside the municipal courts building downtown this morning. The Missouri Eminent Domain Abuse Coalition is protesting the city’s taking of Opal Henderson’s car salvage yard at 7th and Hickory. The condemnation hearing is at 10 this morning. Henderson and her family 11

have owned and operated the salvage yard for more than 50 years. She joined us live on FOX 2 in the Morning. Opal’s salvage yard is about 7 blocks from the new stadium.

Religion: Religion: A national debate took center stage at the St. Louis Science Center. The big question “how did life on earth originate”? The subject is the center of a federal lawsuit in Pennsylvania. A judge will decide if schools can teach an alternative to Darwin’s theory of evolution. Washington University brought in experts to square off claims and theories supporting “Intelligent Design” or evolution. Supporters of ‘Intelligent Design” say life is too complex for it to have randomly been formed and that there must be a creator although not necessarily a divine being or God. Others claim this is just a new way to sneak religion into the classroom. Fox 2 News @ 5:00 am, 6:00 am, 7:00 am, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm & 9 pm. October 8, 9, 2005

Immigration: Can’t understand what your doctor or nurse is saying to you? Well, imagine what it is like for millions of non‐English speaking patients in the United States. By law, hospital must provide interpreter services to patients. Dr. Schyve of the “Joint Commission on accreditation of Healthcare Organizations” tells FOX News. At Mercy Hospital in Miami, Florida there is a human interpreter on hand to help patients who speak limited English to bridge the language barrier. And soon there will be one more option live video interpretation. This service is called the Language Access Network and has already been up and running for two years at the Ohio State University Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio where there is a large Somali population. Mercy Hospital believes this live video interpretation will help reduce patient anxiety, medical errors and hospital readmissions because people will understand how to care for themselves when they go home.

Environment: Gas in Missouri could soon contain more ethanol. The Missouri House passed a bill requiring gas sold in the state to contain at least 10% ethanol. If the Senate approves, Missouri will become the fifth state with ethanol standards. Supporters say ethanol is good for the environment and helps reduce dependence on foreign oil.

Minority construction workers are shocked by racists’ graffiti at a South St. Louis job site. Someone wrote this offensive message on the wall of a Johnny on the Sport this morning. A black owned dry wall company and its subcontractor had just started working on the Lafayette Town Homes near Chouteau and Mississippi.

Schools:

New details on the racial slur at Kirkwood High School. Police have arrested 4 people for painting a slut on a skylight in the School’s common area. Three teenagers and one juvenile are charged with a hate crime which is a felony. All 4 are dropouts from other high schools, but at least one attended Kirkwood at one time. Police are still looking for the 5th suspect. Fox 2 News @ 5:00 am, 6:00 am, 7:00 am, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm & 9 pm. October 7, 8, 2005

The Superintendent of St. Louis City Schools announced today that 47 of the 56 city schools have serious lead levels. Tonight he says $2.5 million will be spent on cleanup over the next five years. Mann Elementary is among the first to get cleaned up. A meeting with parents was closed to the media but the Superintendent shared his plan for clean up in a news conference.

Students at Central Visual and performing Arts High School along with 4 other in the St. Louis School District had to wait a long time just to get books. Five weeks into the school year, they still don’t have all the English, Science, and Math books they needed. The District’s PR Spokesman said the district did not order enough books for the number of students who showed up. He told Elliott Davis that the Director of Curriculum was supposed to make sure there were enough. Elliott called her and she did not call back. Then he tried the Superintendent and made three requests to 13

interview Creg Williams and he never called back. Elliott finally caught up with Williams but received no answer. You’re a repaying a pretty penny for top administrators.

District officials tell him that they have not ironed out the problem and say all the kids should not have their books. In an update the district PR department told us that the text book company would pick up the tab for all those books that were sent to the wrong place. School officials have never explained why they so badly misjudged the number of students who would show up for school.

The no child left behind law opened the door to spending public money on private tutoring when schools fail to help kids advance. And that has opened the door for applied scholastics, a not for profit group that uses teaching techniques critics warn are also part of the Church of Scientology. Nevertheless, the state of Missouri has approved applied scholastics as a supplemental education service provide. The state web site lists them as serving the Hazelwood District. But Hazelwood Superintendent Chris Wright says her district turned them down after reviewing the group’s curriculum. Only one school in Hazelwood must offer the special tutoring and so far eleven kids have signed up for help from Hazelwood staff. But their parents could choose to send them to an applied scholastic program. So for now, applied scholastics large Spanish Lake campus is used to train teachers from around the world and to teach children of staff members.

Five local groups are seeking minority jobs on local construction projects. In 1999, the group MO‐Kan worked out a deal with Mo‐Dot to get more minorities in highway construction projects. That summer, 300 protesters shut down I70 in North St. Louis. No Mo‐Kan and others want a share of work on two new casinos, the bottle district and other projects. They are threatening new civil disobedience to make their point. Members of this alliance include minority contractors, a local ministry group and the concerned citizen coalition.

A major controversy in San Francisco over a video produced by the city’s police officers. The skits featured uniformed and plain clothes officers making fun of Asians, Black, Women and Gay and Transgender people. The officer who produced it is already suspended and 19 others are facing suspension.

Religion:

A national debate took center stage at the St. Louis Science Center. The big question “how did life on earth originate”? The subject is the center of a federal lawsuit in Pennsylvania. A judge will decide if schools can teach an alternative to Darwin’s theory of evolution. Washington University brought in experts to square off claims and theories supporting “Intelligent Design” or evolution. Supporters of ‘Intelligent Design” say life is too complex for it to have randomly been formed and that there must be a creator although not necessarily a divine being or God. Others claim this is just a new way to sneak religion into the classroom Fox 2 News @ 5:00 am, 6:00 am, 7:00 am, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm & 9 pm. October 8, 9, 2005

Deity versus Darwin. That is what is behind a controversial decision by the Kansas board of Education. In a split decision, the state board approved the teaching of “Intelligent Design” in science classrooms. “Intelligent Design” is essentially the bible’s view of creation. Moderates say this is an attempt to insert religion into the classroom. Conservatives say it is not about faith but about critical thinking. A Federal Judge rules a Pennsylvania School District cannot teach “Intelligent Design: in biology class. The 19

ruling against the Dover Area School Board says it amounts to religion in the classroom. The idea of ‘Intelligent Design “is the world is so complex, it must have been created by a higher power. Opponents say it is the most import court ruling since the “Scopes Monkey Trial” in 1925. Fox 2 News @ 5:00 am, 6:00 am, 7:00 am, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm & 9 pm.

Every Sunday, thousands of faithful flock to area churches for religious services. But many others get their scripture lesson at public schools. It is a common practice. School Districts all over the country rent their space to churches along the with scouts community groups and other organizations. Lafayette High School is among those opening its doors to parishioners. “Wildwood community Church” rents the school every Sunday. School chairs turn into Church pews. Pastor Fred Fishel started renting the school in September 2004. He pays about $240 a week to use the school for 4 hours every Sunday. They use the school’s commons area, lighting, sound system, chairs and even the swimming pool for Baptisms. Craig Larson is superintendent of Rockwood Schools. He says the arrangement won’t last an eternity. But the pastor says, they have no future plans to raise money and build a church of their own. There seems to be some confusion on how long the high school will host the church but that is not really a legal concern. On the other hand, on Sundays the church replaces the Schools’ outdoor bulletin board with a message of its own – a large banner advertising Sunday service. So does this cross the line between accommodation and endorsement? The Pastor says he did obtain permission form the schools’ principal to use the sign. But no where on either application for the use of premises or the rules for school use does it state that the outdoor sign can be used by the renting party. The school’s position is that it is okay to cover the sign with a banner but changing the actual letters on the bulletin board itself would be going too far. It is a thin line experts say as long as Lafayette High allows other organizations to use its bulletin board the same way.

The Archbishop of Missouri excommunicated Father Marek Bozek for agreeing to be the priest at St. Stanislaus Koska Polish Roman Catholic church. That means performing mass would be a sin and accepting communion from him would be too. Bozek says being a Polish Catholic taught him to fight for who he is and he believes he is a priest rescuing a congregation in the midst of a war with the archdiocese. St. Stanislaus controls its finances. Every other church gives their Archbishop control. The young priest says he is not here to be a war hero but hopes to restore peace in this parish and the fight with the archdiocese will end. He says he hopes to meet with the Archbishop soon.

The “Great American Smokeout” sponsored by the American Cancer Society wants to educate the public about the dangers of smoking. They encourage smokers to quit for just one day. More than 45 million adult Americans smoke. 87% of lung cancer deaths are related to smoking and it is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. At $4.00 per day, if you smoke a pack a day that is $1,460 per year. Smoking related health care costs are $75 billion a year. The American Cancer Society says up to half of all smokers diagnosed with cancer still don’t kick the habit. The research shows the health risks of smoking are well understood. But after a cancer diagnosis, health care providers often fail to advise smokers to quit.

New evidence suggests chemicals found in baby bottles and plastic toys could make your child sick. University of Missouri Professor Vom Saal is among the scientists sounding the alarm about two kinds of chemicals that some link to birth defects and reproductive problems. One group of chemicals is called phthalates, chemicals used to make plastics like vinyl toys soft. The other is sued to make polycarbonate or clear hard plastics like baby bottles. It is called bisphenola or BPA. Vom Salls says BPA acts like estrogen in the body. He supports a bill in California to ban BPA and phthalates in products for children. James Lamb, a representative of the plastic industry, admits that BPA in baby bottles acts like a weak form of estrogen but says there is not enough to cause harm. So far the Federal Government agrees. Both the FDA and the Consumer Product Safety Commission says there are not enough chemicals in children’s’ products to make them sick. But the FDA does recommend Doctors avoid using certain tubing and other soft plastics on newborns that may be more vulnerable to phthalate exposure at high levels.

Despite all the hype over hormones and menopause, millions of women say the symptoms make it impossible to go it alone. The new trend finds many women 24

switching from one size fits all hormone therapy to custom made mixtures. Many women fed up and frightened switch to all natural hormones compounded or custom made just for them. In compounding, Doctors prescribe a specific combination of hormones for each patient based on exams and sometimes lab tests. Ingredients used in the compounds are derived from plants and are all natural. Women report significant improvement in their menopause symptoms with none of the side effects associated with synthetic hormones.

Political:

The 2000 GOP convention House Majority Leader Tom Delay raises hundreds of thousands of dollars from corporate donor to throw convention parties. According to the Associated Press, Delay now indicted for money laundering and illegal contributions in Tex then funnels some of that money to Missouri Congressman Roy 25

Blunt who has taken Delay’s job as House Majority Leader. Some of that money ends up funding Matt Blunt’s campaign for Secretary of State. In May of 2000, $100,000 of Delay’s surplus money from the convention went to Congressman Roy Blunt’s political action committee. In June of 2000, Blunt funnels that money to the Missouri Republican Party where it helps fund Matt Blunt’s Secretary of State campaign. A few months later, Delay’s political action committee donates $50,000 to the Missouri Republican party. Weeks later, the Missouri GOP donates exactly the same amount back to Delay’s political action committee. Fox 2 News @ 5:00 am, 6:00 am, 7:00 am, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm & 9 pm.

Three things drove the Metrolink extension’s costs through the roof. Engineering foul ups that got worse with time; lousy supervision, Metro wasn’t aware of the mistakes until it was too late and some exclusive neighborhoods demanded expensive changes. It all added up to a $150 million in cost overruns that taxpayers have to pay. Metro was under political pressure to build this route much of it from Washington University which wanted stops linking its main campus with the medial facilities at Barnes Hospital. Critics charge metro was in such a hurry to get it done that they did not ask questions when the work fell behind schedule and went over budget. Activist Tom Sullivan has campaigned for years against waste in the Metrolink project. Costs were also drive up when much of the light rail system was built underground. So much of the line was build underground because people who live in Clayton or near Forest Park objected to Metrolink running along the street near their homes. The sum total of building underground added to hundreds and hundreds of engineering mistakes. Giant cost overruns, loss of public confidence in Metro and the mother of all lawsuits.

The five count indictment says Libby liked to a Grand Jury and obstructed justice. The Grand Jury was probing who leaked a covert CIA agent’s name to the media. The agent, Valerie Plame, is the wife of former U.S. Diplomat Joseph Wilson. Wilson publicaly attacked the Bush administration’s decision to invade Iraq. There has been speculation that Plame’s name was leaked either by Bush’s top political advisor, Karl Rove, or by Vice President Cheney. But neither man was named in any indictments. Rove remains under investigation. Libby resigned his position immediately after the indictments were announced and left the White House.

The issue may seem to have disappeared from the political radar. But tonight, the debate over “gays in the military” has come front and center in St. Louis. We’ve learned this resolution is about to be added to the Board of Aldermen’s agenda later this week. It calls for an end to the “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” policy. Cities in California and New York have already adopted such a resolution. Backers say support in Missouri is a much bigger deal. A letter written about 15 years ago meant an abrupt end to Rob Schwitz’s career in the Air Force. Now a group called “The Service Members Legal Defense Network’ is behind house bill 1059 to repeal the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. Aldermen have nothing to do with Congressional bills but Aldermanic President Jim Shrewsbury is sponsoring the resolution, because there are 5,000 gay and lesbian vets in St. Louis, 12,000 in Missouri and Missouri could play a major role.

Eminent Domain:

Eminent Domain is a hot issue all across the country and the latest city here at home facing this issue is Manchester. There are plans for a new shopping development near Manchester and 141. Several businesses and homes would be destroyed to make way for the new development. A protest is schedule on October 3rd. The protestors are against the use of eminent domain in a proposed $131 million re‐development area. Pace Properties wants to build a large, pedestrian friendly retail and restaurant development. But to make the plans realty, Pace would still have to acquire land from six business owners. The city of Manchester invokes Eminent Domain and grants a developer “TIF” money to build a large retail development. According to the Post Dispatch, Aldermen gave the “go ahead” on Monday for Pace Properties to build the multi‐million dollar Manchester Highlands Shopping Center at 141 and Manchester. They also approved $29 million in “TIF” money for the project. Fox 2 News @ 5:00 am, 6:00 am, 7:00 am, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm & 9 pm. October 3, 4, 17, 2005 28

Missouri Democrats want to outlaw the use of eminent domain for private developers like shopping malls. This is an ongoing battle in Sunset Hills. The Democratic House Proposal wants to protect homes, farms and businesses. None of the Democrats are on Governor Blunt’s task force which is still debating whether condemnation is okay for economic development reasons. The U.S. Senate is moving to bar some federal funds from projects where people’s homes are seized for private development. Missouri Senator Kit Bond offered the amendment, saying people should not be forced out of their homes. It would prevent any money in the bill from being spent on projects using Eminent Domain to build shopping malls or other commercial developments. The bill is expected to pass the Senate this week.

The St. Charles County Council has begun the process to put new restrictions on the use of Eminent Domain.

As a follow up to previous stories done by You Paid for It reporter Elliott Davis. The city paid a Washington University Urban Designer to study the area. There were protests and lawsuits in the end the developer did not have the money to buy out homeowners as promised. The development plan was scuttled, the incumbent Mayor and the incumbent alderman voted out of office. The fight took a heavy toll on Sunset Manor. According to the new study only three homes were built there in the past 10 years. Major reason, a zoning law restricting lot sizes, threat of eminent domain.

Circle this date on your calendar, Friday November 17th. FOX 2 has learned that is when MoDot will make the formal announcement about construction details on the highway 40 rebuilding project. FOX 2s Charles Jaco has learned there is not enough money to re‐build the entire 12 mile stretch of highway…at least not as originally designed.

One thing seems clear about the highway 40 project, it cannot be completely done with the money MoDot has available. Sources with both contracting conglomerates bidding on the job say the actual construction budget $410 billion dollars is just enough to re‐ build the entire highway between Sarah and Spoede as MoDot envisions. FOX 2 has learned one scenario to save money would be to basically ignore re‐building part of highway 40 around Big Bend, Bellevue and Hanley in Richmond Heights. Richmond Heights has sued MoDot in Federal Court upset that MoDot highway 40 plans might cause a number of Richmond Heights houses to be condemned and abolished. One way around all that would be jut to repave the Richmond Heights section. There would be no new entrance or exit ramps and no new bridges. Instead contractors would merely add a fresh layer of asphalt or concrete over what exits now. The Contractors’ Association Says this section of road, the third of a mile overpass in Ladue where Highway 40 goes over Clayton and Warson Roads is a massive engineering challenge. That entire flyover needs to be rebuilt, but that presents a huge problem. All of Highway 40 roughly between Lindbergh and Clayton Road will have to be totally shut down. It will be like Highway 40 never existed along that stretch during construction. In addition to probably having to close 40 completely, contractors are worried about this part. 40 % of all the project money over $180 million will be spent at this one intersection. So you have 3 major headaches, the highway 40 intersection with i70, the Clayton/Warson overpass in Ladue and the stretch of highway in Richmond Heights. None of them have easy answers; all of them could cause drivers major headaches. Fox 2 News @ 5:00 am, 6:00 am, 7:00 am, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm & 9 pm.

Immigration:

Can’t understand what your doctor or nurse is saying to you? Well, imagine what it is like for millions of non‐English speaking patients in the United States. By law, hospital must provide interpreter services to patients. Dr. Schyve of the “Joint Commission on accreditation of Healthcare Organizations” tells FOX News. At Mercy Hospital in Miami, Florida there is a human interpreter on hand to help patients who speak limited English to bridge the language barrier. And soon there will be one more option live video interpretation. This service is called the Language Access Network and has already been up and running for two years at the Ohio State University Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio where there is a large Somali population.

Jaime Seymour‐Newton says her kids are big chicken eaters but she had no idea that chicken she serves may contain traces of arsenic. Arsenic is found in our environment including the ground water the birds drink. An organic version is also part of a government approved additive called Roxarsone. The National Chicken Council says it is sometimes added to feed to fight disease. But is this practice healthy for people? The FDA sets standards for acceptable levels in food and tells us we have no indication that products containing arsenic are unsafe. The chicken industry agrees. But toxicologist Paul Mushak, an expert in human exposure to arsenic says no level should be considered safe and he is concerned about chicken because Americans are eating more than ever. In 2004, a Department of Agriculture study found that arsenic concentrations in chicken are higher than previously recognized and combined with increased consumption may need to be 46

considered when estimating overall exposure to arsenic. Mushak says adding arsenic to feed is unnecessary. In fact, arsenic cannot be fed to organic chickens. Industry leader Tyson says it has stopped using arsenic due to public criticism not safety. Still experts say it is found in plenty of brands. The Institute for Agriculture recently tested more than 150 samples of uncooked chicken from 13 samples of uncooked chicken from 14 brands. Five brands had no detectable arsenic or levels so low they may have been caused by the environment. Gold and Plump and Perdue tested among the highest. Gold N Plum tells us arsenic in feed does not compromise safety. Perdue Farms says the arsenic is organic and has been used safely and effectively for decades.

Immigration:

The entire population of Illinois is illegal, put another way, the population of Illinois is a little over 12 million. That is about how many illegal aliens are inside the United States. Anywhere from 20,000 to 100,000 live in the St. Louis Metro area. The U.S. House of Representatives have okayed a proposal that would make them and anyone who helps them felons. The proposal would construct a 700 mile fence between the U.S. and Mexico. The U. S. Senate’s proposal would allow the illegal aliens to earn citizenship by becoming so‐called guest workers and by paying back taxes and a $2000 fine. Supporters of the House proposal say it is about two things, law and order. Since illegals are after all illegal and national security. Opponents claim the debate is about two different things fear and racism. Jaco Report April 1, 2006 5:30 PM

Thirty six year old Cecilia Velázquez first came tot his country about five years ago on a six month visitor’s visa. She thought efforts were being made to make her a naturalized citizen. None of that happened. Then, two days before the big immigration rally in downtown St. Louis, Velázquez was whisked away to jail. She says that all she really did was promote the rally and is not sure that is why she was deported. The power comes from the newspaper she started called Red Latina which as become a significant force among Hispanics here. In fact, it has pushed the time honored Hispanic news paper “Que Pasa” out of business. She also brought air time to present live Hispanic issues on WEW Radio. But the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against her. She was planning to marry last week to a St. Louisian named Andrew Jones who met Cecilia in May at a Westport Plaza Coffee Shop.

The U.S. Senate approves an immigration bill. Senators must work with the House of Representatives on a compromise. It includes more border patrol guards, a short term deployment of National Guard Troops along the border and construction of a 370 mile fence. The most controversial parts of the bill include a guest workers program and a program that would eventually lead to citizenship for illegal immigrants already in the United States. Both of Missouri’s Republican Senators voted against the bill both of the Illinois’s Senators voted yes.

Starting today National Guard Troops will begin suppor6ting immigration agents along a fence off stretch of the desert along the U.S. border and Mexico. 55 Utah National Guard members will be settling in around Yuma, Arizona. These are the first troops to be sent by President Bush to the border in a new plan to crack down on illegal immigration. The mission is being called “Operation Jump Start”.

The so‐called W1W Project built Missouri’s first highway tunnel to put Lindbergh Blvd. beneath the new runway. At just over $1 billion, it involved hundreds of companies and put nearly 14,000 people to work. And although 9‐11 hurt the aviation business, travel here is again taking off. Not only is the runway being touted as a significant addition to the region’s economic future, it has already fostered growth of minority and women’s businesses. The next stage here at the airport is to spruce up the terminal and improve what is called passenger satisfaction. It is all part of a plan to market St. Louis as a region with a vital future.

Entertainer Bill Cosby is creating a lot of discussion again over some remarks he made this past weekend. During a commencement speech at Spellman College in Atlanta, Cosby said African‐American women need to take the reigns since the men are failing. He said it in no uncertain terms.

Health officials are reporting two more cases of mumps in Illinois and cases continue to spring up across several other Midwestern states including Missouri. Until recently, most of us had not thought about mumps in a long time. The nation is struggling with the biggest outbreak of mumps in decades and most cases are concentrated in the Midwest. Three cases have been reported at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and one infected person was on an American Airlines flight that stopped at Lambert on its way to Iowa. The number of mumps cases in Iowa has now topped 1,000. In fact, there are now more than 11,000 confirmed cases. Aside from Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas, Wisconsin and Minnesota have also reported mumps outbreaks. In Iowa the first phase of mumps immunization clinics began. The state is urging young adults who 52

are at risk to get vaccinated. Those between the ages of 18 and 22. Mumps can be transmitted through saliva, sneezing or coughing. Fox 2 News @ 5:00 am, 6:00 am, 7:00 am, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm & 9 pm. April 14, 17, 26, 2006

Deep Vein Thrombosis or DVT means blood clots and there have been reports of people getting these potentially dangerous blood clots after long airplane flights. But researchers in England found that the oxygen and air pressure on long flights don’t cause DVT. They say blood clots can be caused by sitting still for 8 hours. Particularly in clots that form in the larger leg veins, higher up, they may break away and travel through the heart to the lungs where they block the blood flow and may in some cases prove fatal. Doctors stress the important of walking around and stretching your legs during long flights. Fox 2 News @ 5:00 am, 6:00 am, 7:00 am, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm & 9 pm. May 16, 17, 2006

Paralyzed rats move again, with new stem cell therapy. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have restored limb movement in paralyzed rats using embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells formed new nerve connections in the paralyzed animals. The study marks a new step in stem cell research. It promised to one day help repair damage from spinal cord injuries and nerve destroying diseases like Lou Gehrigs. The stem cells were mixed in a complex soup of chemicals in order to make the right connections. The Hopkins researchers say this is not the first time stem cells have been used to help paralyzed rodents to move. Researchers say more studies are needed but say this is probably the beginning of something which one day may help paralyzed people move again.

One dose of the chickenpox vaccine may not be enough. The Journal “Pediatrics” says outbreaks of chickenpox continue to be reported even in highly vaccinated populations. Researchers say one dose of the vaccine is not adequate enough to prevent outbreaks in school settings where exposure can be intense.

A new vaccine that protects women from cervical cancer gets FDA approval. Cervical cancer is a malignancy which kills more than 3000 American women every year. It is caused by Human Papilloma Viruses or HPVs which are sexually transmitted. Most adults are exposed to these viruses but only a minority get sick. The viruses can also cause genital warts in both sexes and in women can cause vaginal and cervical cancer. The new vaccine called Gardasil will immunize women against two of the viruses which cause 70% of all cervical cancers. This is the first vaccine to protect anyone against cancer. Doctors call it a huge breakthrough but Physicians stress women must continue visiting their gynecologists for annul pap and cervical cancer tests which identify abnormal cells in the cervix. The vaccine is produced by Merck and patients must get three shots for full protection. Merck says the vaccine will be available in doctors’ offices very shortly in New York.

Schools:

A Constitutional amendment giving students the right to pray in schools passes through the Missouri House. A second vote and Senate approval is needed before showing up on the November ballot.

Kids at Illinois elementary schools can still buy junk food and sodas at school at least for now. A legislative committee overwhelmingly voted to block the State Board of Education’s ban. Governor Blagojevich is behind the ban which would prohibit the sale of soda, chips and candy in vending machines. Members on the Committee say the proposal needs to consider nutrition of cafeteria food not just vending machines.

Coke, Pepsi, and Cadbury Schweppes have agreed to sell only diet sodas in U.S. high schools. They have also agreed to sell only water, juice and low fat milk at elementary and middle schools. How quickly the changes take hold will depend in part on individual school districts. The move is supported by anti‐obesity groups and the American Heart Association.

St. James High School may be the first in the country with a new way of testing students for drugs. High School principal Phil West says they are not testing anyone at school instead they are asking families to consider testing with home test kits. They have some available to give out at school but mostly they ask parents to go online to testmyteen.com, a company based in Washington Missouri. Joe Ferguson is a father who tested his kids even thought he did not think they were using. Ferguson also believes it gives his kids an excuse if they are pressured to experiment. Former meth addict, Todd C came to speak at the high school as part of the program expecting about one hundred students and says there was 7 times that. The small town of St. James with a big time meth problem hopes drug testing at home will clean up the schools. Now other schools around the country are calling and asking about this drug testing program. Moving the debate of whether testing is an invasion of privacy out of the schools and into the homes.

The Missouri Board of Education restored accreditation for the troubled Wellston School District. The district has been unaccredited sine June 2003. Last summer, the State Board decided not to restore Wellston’s accreditation making it the first district ever taken over by the state. While the district has been unaccredited, students have had the option of transferring to another district with Wellston covering the costs. That has cost the district about $1 million a year. But with so called interim accreditation now, current students can no longer transfer to other schools. Those already attending classes may do so. 55

After several decades at Cleveland High School, the Naval Junior ROTC program is likely to weigh anchor and head to Madison School downtown. This South St. Louis landmark exudes tradition but the district could build a new state of the art high school for the twenty million it would cost to fix this aging dowager.

Potosi is a town where people are unafraid of sharing their faith. But what is happening at the high school has some people scared. Parents and students emailed our newsroom complaining this sounds like a breach of the separation of church and state but the man giving the talk says what it sounds like is not what it is. Mike Riddle is a “creation Speaker” that is what the biography says on his organization’s website. It means he believes in creationism not evolution. The organization is “Answers in Genesis”; its tag line is upholding the authority of the bible. It claims to be an apologetic or Christian defending ministry. Riddle acknowledges his strong faith but says he won’t talk about it in a public school.

St. Louis school principals got good news about the districts proposed budget for fiscal year 2007. They may be getting a raise, but hey are being asked to play the role of fundraiser as well. The Chief Financial Officer for the district told the crowd the financial package falls short by more than $2 million in meeting the needs of the district. But he says it does include pay raises, 3 to 8% for teachers and 5% for principals. Principals say they have been asked to do more creative financing and look to the community, the private sector and government grants to help pay costs at their schools. They will meet within the next week to determine what cuts must be made to make up that $2million before it is presented to the Board.

The St. Louis School District is bankrupt. That is the report School Board Members got from the District’s Chief Financial Officer.

Strong emotions at the Rockwood School Board meeting over a teacher’s decision to show videos with nudity to his class. Upset parents mad their feelings known but many turned out to support the teacher. Most everyone we spoke with agree the videos shown were inappropriate for the classroom but the controversy is over what should happen to the popular teacher who showed them. Mr. Shea showed the videos of naked skydivers from a German TV show to his 7th grade students. Another video he showed the class was of someone in a scream costume exposing himself. Shea’s supporters say he made a mistake but is a great German teacher. But other parent whose kids saw the videos are outraged and some want him fired. Shea was removed from the classroom. He says he showed the videos to show students that Germans have a sense of humor and that he made a rookie mistake. A Rockwood spokesperson tells us that inquiry is done and any final disciplinary action against him could be announced soon. After an internal investigation, the Rockwood School District decided Bob Shea could return to this position at Crestview Middle School.

A new health care analysis gives Illinois and Missouri a “C” and C+ grad for emergency health care. The report released today by an American College of Emergency Physicians task force says in general, the nation’s emergency care system itself is ailing. A shrinking number of hospital beds able to admit seriously ill emergency room patients and an unfavorable medical malpractice environment are among Illinois problems cited in the report.

Toxic releases in Missouri are down more than 25%. That is according to EPA Data under a rule that companies like this must tell you all the toxins they release. If you have a computer and access to the internet you can look up companies in your zip code. Ted Heisel with the Missouri Coalition for the Environment says allowing the public to see the number for themselves is helping clean up our air. But now the program is looking at cuts. The Environmental Group OMB Watch crunched EPA numbers in Missouri, finding 88 facilities would stop reporting toxic releases under the rule change. Companies like, KP Cat on the Hill which last reported more than 2000 pounds of toxic chemicals released in one year period. Louise Griffith lives just a few houses down from another one of the facilities that might be able to stop reporting toxic releases. In her neighborhood near South St. Louis, Paol Products, is on the low end, it last reported 740 pounds of toxic releases in a one year period. Then there is Mid‐West Industrial Chemical Company in ST. Louis. It also might get a break in a cutback EPA data shows this company last reported more than 10,000 pounds of on‐site toxic releases. In Illinois, the group OBM Watch calculated that 270 facilities would stop reporting under the rule change. None of the company representatives would comment on camera, but everyone told us off camera, they are used to filling out all the paperwork and it has just become part of their daily operations. Heisel says it should stay that way so residents can continue to be protected from toxins. Fox 2 News @ 5:00 am, 6:00 am, 7:00 am, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm, 5:30 pm, 6:00 pm & 9 pm.

Government shut the Nation’s largest lead smelter until it can operate within Federal Standards for lead emission. The Missouri coalition for the Environment made its demands for “Doe Run” in a letter to the EPA this week. The coalition says Doe Run is being given too much time to meet air quality standards. But the St. Louis based company says it has made progress curbing emission and in fact, met federal standards in the last quarter. The Doe Run Company is now testing yards and playgrounds in the southeastern Missouri to see if years of lead mining, milling and hauling have contaminated the soil. Contractors working for Doe Run began collecting samples at 275 properties in Viburnum this month. The company is working under an order from 61

the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA says there is a threat that lead mining may have released hazardous pollutants into the environment. Fox 2 News @ 5:00 am, 6:00 am, 7:00 am, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm, 5:30 pm, 6:00 pm & 9 pm. January 20, 21, 2006, March 27, 2006

The summer won’t be the same at Johnson Shut‐ins State Park. A meeting on the fallout of the Taum Sauk Reservoir break is about to get underway. The break pushed a billion gallons of water through the park. The meeting is slated to get underway here. The Department of Natural Resources tells me the outlook for recreation at the Johnson’s Shut‐ins State Park this summer is not good. What used to the main shut‐ins campground is now just piles of debris and heavy equipment trying to clear it. Back in the early morning hours on December 14th, one point three billion gallons of water rushed out of the reservoirs after part of it broke. The wall of water washed away the home of park superintendent Jerry Toops, his wife and their three young children and did major damage to the park and the environment. Luckily, the entire Toops family survived. DNR Officials tell me they hope to have rough service like sewer and water available at the park by Memorial Day for day recreation. But DNR says there will be no camping at the park for the entire summer. Officials tell me the park here will never be the same. The latest on the clean up efforts will be detailed at the meeting, as well as information about water quality in the Black River. That area was also hit hard by the Dam breech. The Federal Agency looking into the breech has not yet released a report on its investigation. Fox 2 News @ 5:00 am, 6:00 am, 7:00 am, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm, 5:30 pm, 6:00 pm & 9 pm.

More than 150 violent crimes are committed every hour in this country according to the FBI. But an increasing number of these crimes are being solved with the help of a new breed of weather professional called forensic meteorologists. Even the temperature can be a critical factor when it comes to revealing the truth in a court of law. Here in Missouri, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department has been factoring weather into their investigations for years. In a recent case they used weather reports and the environment to narrow down the time frame in which a crime was committed and close in on a person of interest.

The group called “in Defense of Animals’ filed a complaint with the Department of Agriculture claiming five of the Zoo’s six elephants suffer from food and joint problems caused by inadequate space and 62

improper housing. Zoo officials say the elephants quarter exceed federal regulations and that all zoo animals live longer lives because they are in a safe environment.

Racism/Minority:

A battle to have more minorities participate in the up coming Highway 40 project. The St. Louis Mayor, County Commissioner and the Faith Community are rallying next to the busy highway. Several members of the St. Louis Faith Community are rallying this morning to encourage the hiring of low‐income residents on the upcoming upgrade of Highway 40, also known as Interstate 64. Hiring low income people to make Highway 40 improvements is crawling at a turtle’s pace and that is the purpose of the rally. The rally is sponsored by the Metropolitan Congregations United. The St. Louis Minority Contractor issue made national headlines in July 1999. The Reverend Al Sharpton and dozens of contractors marched and shutdown I70 in North St. Louis. Several people including Sharpton were arrested and fined. Tomorrow the group will send more than 100 people to a meeting of the Missouri Highways and transportation commission in Jefferson City. Bids for the multi‐million dollar project are due in February.

Prayers last night for the highway 40 reconstruction project. Members of the group “Metropolitan Congregations United” are praying the upcoming highway 40 projects will provide good paying jobs for those who need them most.

Workers along I64 in Illinois say a racially insensitive act was not run them away. Someone hung a dead raccoon on a highway sign near their job site near Caseyville. The men work for DKW Contractors, a minority owned company, working on the I64 improvement project. The sight is a reminder of a time when African Americans were hanged in many southern states.

Schools:

Momentum for Governor Blunt’s education funding plan is waning. Blunt had proposed requiring public schools to spend 65% of their money on student education. But leaders of both legislative bodies did not list the plan as part of the legislative priorities when the new session begins this week. School administrators and teachers unions resoundingly criticized the plan when the Governor announced it last year.

What you cannot tell about Vesteria Pegues as she read this story is her back‐story. For more of her 42 years, she was illiterate. Vesteria’s problem is called Functional Illiteracy. She could read and write but at the fourth grade level so she had to live by her wits. American Idol Fantasia Barrino knows the difficulties people like Vesteria face because she faces them too. In her autobiography called “Life I not a Fairytale”, Fantasia admits she too is a functioning illiterate. She had to dictate the book to a writer. In her book, she admits she signed record contracts she could not read and even had to fake her way through the scripted parts of American Idol. Fans may be surprised but the Director of St. Louis Literacy Council is not. One big thing both Fantasia and Vesteria have in common is they both dropped out of school around the 9th grade. Author Jonathan Kozol, who has written extensively on illiteracy puts much of the blame for high school drop out rates and low literacy skills on public schools which are teaching kids how to pass tests instead of how to really read and write. And in his new book, Kozol says minorities are suffering the most. While School Districts struggle with ways to improve literacy and decrease the drop out rate, the Literacy Council of St. Louis provides tutoring for anyone who needs help at any level. But the need is far higher than it can handle. It served just over 200 students last year. Estimates are the number of functionally illiterate adults in the St. Louis area is 200,000.

It looks like the “Show Me” state is going to start showing kids how to be financially savvy. Missouri has the highest rate of bankruptcy filing in the United States. So state officials are updating high school curriculums. Starting with the class of 2010, students will be required to take a half credit personal finance course.

More than two dozen students across the St. Louis area have been infected with staph since the beginning of the year. The students all have one thing in common, wrestling. Doctors have seen an increase in staph infection in the past five years, they call it an epidemic. In many cases, the usual antibiotics do nothing to stop the illness. Schools are doing everything they can to fight the disease.

The city of St. Louis is launching an education campaign on staph infections. Mayor Francis Slay, Health Director William Kincaid and Tyco Healthcare officials announced details of the symposium this afternoon at city hall. The campaign is in response to outbreaks of antibiotic resistant staph infection involving athletes at Northwest High School in Jefferson County and other area high schools. Dr. Kincaid says athletes are not the only group at risk. Good hygiene is a key to prevention. The symposium will feature national and local experts on staph infection.

It has been nearly two years since it happened and the pain is still as piercing as ever. March 30th 2004, Tina Steimel’s son, 14 year old Jeff was found dead, hanging from pipe above his bed in his Florissant home. The Medical Examiner ruled it a suicide but Tina knew her son died playing the choking game. A dangerous game where kids choke themselves or other to get high. Tina told her story exclusively to us in November. Then she took her case to authorities and they listened. The wording on her son’s death certificate has now changed from suicide to accident. The change came after Tina wrote a letter to the St. Louis County Medical Examiner saying Jeff had a bruise like mark on his neck and a blood shot eye two weeks before he died. Both tell tale signs of someone playing the choking game. It was information Tina did not think to give investigators when Jeff died. But it was critical information for authorities in deciding to make the change. Tina is now trying to raise awareness in Schools about the choking game.

The St. Louis public schools have been like an anchor tied around the city’s ankles for years. Everybody always says the city’s redevelopment is nice, I like city living but …and the but is the public schools. It is too early to tell if it is turning around. It took sixty years of middle class flight, violent students, devastated neighborhoods and school administrators who often acted like extras in a movie to create the mess we are in now. But is it like today’s St. Patrick’s Day five mile run downtown, you get there one step at a time. This week the city’s public schools created something new. It is called the “School of the Future” and it is only the second of its kind in the United States. When you find the city School Superintendent singing the praises of Corporate American and when you find Corporate America willing to invest million in time, talent, equipment, cash and expertise in the city’s schools, you know something new is definitely going. The school district is working with Dell Computers, ATT & T and UMSL to convert the Mel Carnahan Middle School into a high tech school for ninth graders. Everything will be linked to computers. The chalkboards will be eliminated in favor of smart boards. Students will be able to input answers on a computer that will be displayed to the entire class.

A small group of Gateway Tech students skipped class to protest changes they fear will diminish the school’s unique qualities. They are talking about taking away majors and students won’t be able to do internships because of the long hours. Forty to fifty students protest near their high school for more than an hour until adults convinced them to come to school.

Eminent Domain:

The gavel falls at noon today opening the 2006 Missouri Legislative Session. The priority issues appear to be efforts to restrict the ability of cities to take property through eminent domain. Particularly if that land will be used for another private development. Fox 2 News @ 5:00 am, 6:00 am, 7:00 am, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm, 5:30 pm, 6:00 pm & 9 pm. January 4, 2006

Legislators are considering whether to change Missouri’s definition of “blight” as it applies to eminent domain and tax increment financing districts.

Another eminent domain debate is brewing this time in Clayton. The Centene Corporation wants to build a 16 story headquarters at the location of the old Library 70

Limited Store. Business owners along Forsyth have gathered more than enough signatures needed for a public vote. They fear the project will force out existing businesses. But the developer may try to use eminent domain. Opponents of eminent domain went before the Clayton Board of Aldermen last night. Two current property owners don’t think they should be force to sell. City Leaders hope they can make a deal without the use of eminent domain.

Even on a snowy day, the President Casino seems full enough. It might be even fuller except that the parking lot right across the street now charges $25 a day for parking. The parking lot’s owned by Columbia Sussex Corporation, a Kentucky Casino Company that backed out of an agreement to buy the President. The rate for the parking lot went from $6 for 5 hours to $10 and in certain instance $25. But it is more than dueling Casinos; the city has gone to court to seize the lot under eminent domain. The lost is part of the huge proposed Pinnacle Casino Operation planned for Laclede Landing. The President feels it is squeezed between the parking lot and the withdrawn purchase of the president and the city which is gung‐ho for the new Pinnacle Development and the President itself.

Two decades after its grand opening, the St. Louis Center is a hulking no man’s land, a grim and ghostly interruption of the blossoming urban canyon along Washington Avenue.

There are mixed opinions from the community this morning. Local NAACP members are demanding answer and say they are completely dissatisfied with the response so far from Maplewood’s Police Department concerning the police chase and beating of a suspect. They said they were appalled by what they call excessive force. The executive committee of the county’s NAACP chapter will meet today to decide what to do next. Many in the Community want to know why this happened. The FBI along with the Missouri Highway Patrol is investing.

The man whose arrest sparked a nationwide controversy is out of jail. So far Edmun Burns is charged with nothing in connection with Monday’s events. He led Maplewood Police on a chase into St. Louis ramming patrol cars as officer tried to stop him. Once police caught him they kicked him and punched him repeatedly. Prosecutors say it is possible Burns could be charged. The arrest is the basis for some very disturbing posts on a local internet site. There are no internet police so people can say anything on line. White police in Maplewood and St. Louis are being targeted and it has Black Leaders worried.

His chase and arrest made national headlines; no Edmun Burns is headed back to jail. He admitted he violated his probation by using drugs. Now he faces up to three years in prison. Two month ago, Burns lead police on a high speed chase. That chase and the physical force officers used to arrest him sparked controversy.

Residents called to say they were glad we exposed a problem that is contributing to crime in their neighborhoods. When we first exposed the problem, the owner of the BP in South St. Louis said he’d stop selling them. We did a spot check this week to make sure and the glass roses were nowhere to be found.

Today is the day women of childbearing age who use a potent and popular acne medication must register with a program called “I Pledge”. The goal of the new FDA rule is to eliminate devastating birth defects. Under this unprecedented program, women who take accutane must submit to mandatory monthly pregnancy test, document their use of two methods of birth control and complete monthly questions on the web.

A consumer watchdog group says darvon, darvocet and related painkillers should be phased out and eventually banned citing more than 2100 accidental deaths between 1981 and 1999. The Public Citizen’s Health Research Group” says several hundred more people have died accidentally after taking the prescription narcotics each year. It faxed the FDA a petition which also claims a roughly equal number of people used the drug to commit suicide. So far, no comment from the DBA which has 180 days to respond to the petition.

The first pandemic known as the Spanish Flu was in 1918. It was the most deadly killing more than 20 to 50 million world wide about half a million in the U.S. The Asian Flu followed in 1957 killing 70,000 in this country but more survived the most recent pandemic the Hong Kong Flu of 1968. It claimed the lives of 34,000 in the U.S. Scientists fear the recent bird flu spreading across Asia and Europe could do something similar over time, perhaps once it lands here in the U.S. St. Louis University is among seven U.S. research centers holding clinical trails to find the right amount of vaccine to prevent the Bird Flu from killing Americans.

Crime:

Pilot and business owner, Joe Ryan thought it was a joke when he opened a letter from a collection agency saying he owed more than $40,000 for surgery that he never had. 84

Joe discovered he was a victim of medical identify theft, a sinister scam. Someone takes your information such as your name or your social security number and they use it to get medical treatment in your name. These imposters simply provide fake insurance information or none at all says Pam Dixon with the World Privacy forum. She estimates some 250,000 Americans have already been victims of medical id theft. But your finances are only part of the problems; medical id thieves can alter your health records putting you in life threatening situations. The Joe believes stole his identity has since died but the problems could haunt Joe for years. More and more hospitals recognize the crime and they are doing something about it. Here at St. Louis University we are told every patient must show a photo id before they are admitted. It is an emergency, the patient is first stabilized then the hospital asks for identification.

Mayor Francis Slay says it is time for voters to approve measure that will eventually take a major bite out of crime. He is asking for an additional sales tax that would add $3million to pay for fifty new officers and open two rec centers to give young people a place to go.

Even with the rash of violence on the night of July 4th where two were killed and ten other shot, Slay says homicides and violent crimes are on the decline.

This busy street in the North city has some of the lowest wattage lights in the area. North City resident Debra Lawton says people often blame her complaints on vandalism she says they are wrong. As you drive along the street none of the lights are broken out by vandals. Lawton is fighting because she wants to stay here as the second generation in her home. She says she has broken up the mugging and looks out for other problems in the neighborhood. She thinks bright lights would help their fight. So Fox 2 checked out the wattage of street lights in various parts of the city and found that there really is no pattern. The Mayor’s neighborhood Development Executive says most of the decisions on wattage are based on the alderman requests. Some community set up special taxing to make those types of improvements. After our checking on this, the Alderman in Lawton’s neighborhood requested a review of the lighting in the First Ward. The Department of Justice has studied street lights and never found a direct impact on crime. However, these studies do say street lights improve community pride which in turns prevents crime.

This is not the first time DNA testing has cleared a man who thought he was locked up for good. But Johnny Briscoe needed some good luck along with the science. Briscoe was halfway through a 45 year prison tem for a 1982 rape in St. Louis County. He asked for dna testing in 2001, but the St. Louis County Police Crime Lab reported all the evidence in his case had been destroyed. Repeated searches turned up nothing until last year. That is when McCulloch first asked county police to search for evidence in the case. Nothing was found during several searches but just weeks ago, dna from a cigarette butt tied to the case was matched to another Missouri prison inmate. Within days, Briscoe was exonerated..

Stephanie Reynolds owns a small store in Valley Park and several small houses. She rents to Hispanics and she has no idea if they are illegal or not. If her tenants are illegal, she is a criminal under Valley Park’s new law. Valley Park is the fourth town in the United States to enact its own anti‐illegal law. It says landlords of illegals can be charged with crimes, employers of illegals can be charged and that English is the town’s official language. But St. Louis immigrant attorney and advocate Katie Herbert Meyere is not convinced. The symbolism may be this – native born Americans are tired of illegal immigration. Carlos Jove came to St. Louis 38 years ago from Bolivia. He helped organize last weekend’s Hispanic festival in St. Louis, a festival celebrating the growing Latino Community in the region. Valley Park officials say the law started with complaints of over‐crowding in houses rented to immigrants. But Stephanie Remolds wonders who’s next. Several families have moved out Valley Park in the wake of the 91

new city ordinance that target illegal aliens. Landlord’s face fines of $500 per violation for knowingly renting to illegal immigrants. St. Louis is helping relocate some of these families. A judge issued a temporary restraining order preventing Valley Park from enforcing its second try at an immigration ordinance. The city passed the new ordinance with hopes the restraining order issued on the old one would be lifted. Some Valley Park landlords and businessmen say it is unconstitutional and discriminatory to punish them for renting to or hiring an illegal alien.

Some time next year, Illinois could send up 200 Army and Air National Guard troops to help Border States fighting illegal immigration.

Illegal immigration is one of the hottest political topics around. It ignites political speeches, talk radio and people’s blood pressure. In fact, feelings have grown so strong that four individual towns across the United States have passed their own laws targeting illegals. The most recent to do so is the St. Louis County community of Valley Park, population 6,500. Valley Park has passed an ordinance that has three parts: 1. it is against the law to rent property to illegal aliens. 2, it is against the law to hire illegal aliens and 3. English is now the official lingual of Valley Park. Why did they do it? Equal parts disgust over illegal immigration and small town politics. Its supports say the Valley Park law sends a message. Its opponents say that message is racist. Jaco Report – 60 minutes August 20, 2006

Just before noon Federal Agents from the FBI, U.S. Air Force Security and Immigration and Customs burst into the African Grocery store and restaurant at the corner of Grand and Miami. At the same time Federal agents hit this Somali‐run market a dozen blocks away on Meremac. The agents refused to say what they were looking for so did the U.S. Attorney’s office in St. Louis. But the search warrants say the stores and their owners face numerous charges. Chief among them, illegally transferring money overseas and money laundering. The store’s owner Abshir Hossen says he has never had a traffic ticket. These raids are part of a concentrated federal effort to stop money from being sent to countries where it might be used by terrorists. But for decades, Somalis have supported their families back home by sending money to Somalia in amounts ranging from $50 to $3,000, that money is the difference between living and starvation for many in Somalia. Abshir Hossen not only faces federal charges and huge lawyer’s bills, he also lost his business and hundreds of dollars worth of food that spoiled while Federal agents conducted the raids.

Schools:

More fall out surrounding the St. Louis School Board’s firing of Floyd Irons, one of the most successful prep basketball coaches in the State. Irons took the Vashon Wolverines to numerous state championships and won ten titles during his tenure. Off the court he was a power to be reckoned with as well. The School Board’s action and the fact someone released it before the vote, has Superintendent Creg Williams fuming. Downs says there was a conflict of interest with Irons servicing as both a coach and the district’s Athletic Director. St. Louis Mayor Slay fears the Board’s action was a way to undermine the Superintendent’s authority. But several members deny it. 96

Major changes ordered by the Superintendent means new leadership at four high schools, the transfer of a thousand teachers to new schools and the creation of anew alternative school which still has not staff assigned. The turmoil has some city leaders worried school will not start on time. Mayor Slay is a strong backer of Superintendent Creg Williams who has only had 15 months on the job. A new majority on the School Board is questioning Williams’ leadership. Slay fears their decision to oust Vashon Coach and District Athletic Director Floyd Irons could be the first step before removing Williams. Meanwhile members of the city teachers union are looking for stability in the Superintendent’s office, even tough recently they issued a no confidence vote in the entire administration. A St.Louis school shocker, Superintendent Creg Williams is out and the Mayor is livid.

Jaco Report discussed the St. Louis public schools with a former School Board member Amy Higemann about why the Superintendent was fired. An interim Superintendent has been named by the Board – Diana Bourisaw. There is a lot of turmoil swirling around her in the first few hours on the job. Bourisaw isn’t talking much about ht former Superintendent but says her focus is on getting school started on time. As for her own past trouble sin the Fox District from which she was fired and received $373,000 settlement. Bourisaw says look at her performance, test scores went up, class sizes went down, results she says she will work furiously to repeat here.

On the day the new Superintendent is introduces, the Mayor is repeating his call for the State to seize control of the schools. Under state law there are two criteria for a state takeover, failure of district to meet state accreditation standards for 2 successive year or failure to provide the minimum school term of 174 days. Neither has been met in St. Louis, yet, the State Board of Education is watching St. Louis closely. Board Member Veronica O’Brien did speak with the media trying to offer some answers to parent who want to know why Creg Williams was no longer in charge. The new Superintendent appears on the Fox 2 Morning News to discuss plans for the school year and the Back 2 School rallies for parents, children registration and school supplies on August 19th and 26th. She also explains that the schools will begin on time on August 28th. Veronica O’Brien appeared on the Morning show and says it is time to stop the bickering and move on with helping the school and children. O’Brien says that race has unfortunately become a part of the conflict and that helps on one. As for the St. Louis Schools’ chance of regaining full accreditation this fall, the State Board is doubtful that will happen because much of it will be based on test scores from this spring. Board President Veronica O’Brien says she felt threatened by protesters outside her home and asked the court for orders of protection for her and her family against fired basketball coach Iron and his friend Demitrus Johnson. Diana Bourisaw is officially the superintendent of St. Louis Schools. The School Board voted to drop her interim title. Because of this feud between the school board and the former coach the School Board has hired round the clock security to protect the School Board President. This is costing the taxpayer thousands of dollars. 97

This terror plot allegedly involves as many as fifty people planning to blow up ten different airliners using liquid explosives. That is new so how do you screen for liquids that may explode? It is one of the problem they worked on at Washington University Center for Security Technologies. The only method we have now is just to toss out all liquids anyone may be carrying but some technologies are in the works. Law Enforcement sources in Britain say these suspected terrorists were going to use common household hydrogen peroxide, liquid acetone and high oxygenated sports drink mixed together and ignited by an electrical pulse from a small battery powered keychain device. It is a new wrinkle raising in the new technical challenge of not tossing your drinking water out with the potential explosives. Another new wrinkle in this plot, these suspected terrorists are like the one who bombed London’s buses and subways 101

last year, home grown, decentralized and not connected to Osama Bin Laden by much at all. It is the new breed of local terrorists. In this case for example authorities in Pakistan reportedly gathered information in a series of raids that led them to believe a plot was brewing quickly to bomb airliners over the Mid‐Atlantic. The Pakistanis told the Brits who told the American and the plot was foiled. They now know this new Al Qaeda version is more local and decentralized than before.

A former PLO terrorist is in St. Louis. His name is Walid Shoebat and he is her to answer questions about the threat of radical Islam following a documentary Wednesday night at Frontenac Hilton. That documentary is called “Obsession: Radical Islam’s War against the West. The main theme of the film is that radical Islam is a greater threat than most of America will admit and that we in the West are in denial. To drive home that point, Walid Shobat joined the Fox 2 Morning show to discuss terrorism and how is an outcast that might fear for his life.

President Bush held a news conference in the Rose Garden to address critics of his anti‐ terror legislation. The President said he and Congress have a duty to work together on a plant to handle prisoners suspected of terrorism. But with Congress out in a few weeks, he warned time is running out.

A new report on terror says the United States is actually less safe today than it was five years ago. It also states the war has actually helped create a new generation of Islamic radicalism. The National intelligence estimate or the NIE says the invasion in Iraq, the indefinite detention of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and the Abu Ghraib Prison abuse scandal have all fueled the Jihad movement. Politicians on both sides are speaking out on this report. Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy issued the following statement says “this intelligence document should put the final nail in the coffin for President Bush’s phony argument about the Iraq war. Despite what President Busch Says the intelligence community has reported the plain truth; the misguided war in Iraq has metastasized and spread terrorism like cancer around the world”. He added that the US needs a new direction in Iraq. Yet this administration quote “stubbornly clings to a failed say the course strategy”. Republican Senator John McCain disagrees. McCain says the best way to combat terrorism and recruitment of young people willing to sacrifice their lives is to bring about democracy and free societies.

Eminent Domain:

Lambert bought out and bulldozed more than 1300 homes in and around Bridgeton to build its billion dollar new runway. The runway is finished but the airport is also clearing out homes like tom McCullen’s who believe in a noise buffer zone in the flight path. He is one of the last hold outs in the neighborhood. Lambert offered $154,000 for his 5 bedroom home and he was insulted. When the family turned them down Lambert turned to eminent domain to take their house. He is fighting the condemnation in court but fears it is a losing battle. Adding insult to injury Lambert may not have needed the billion dollar project that uprooted so many families. The new runway was built despite criticism from many pilots, air traffic controllers, even a former Missouri Senator who called the project too big and too costly. The real blow came after construction started. Lambert’s major carrier American Airlines slashed half the St. Louis flights leaving the new runway a lonely place. Tom McCullen says it is apparently not hard for Lambert to justify paying people like him so little to leave. Fox 2 News @ 5:00 am, 6:00 am, 7:00 am, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm & 9 pm.

Rock Hills is rolling on with the development on the south end of town. After a bitter battle, homeowners there are forced out by eminent domain to make way for a TIFF commercial development. But Mayor Julie Morgan admits Phase Two is running into trouble. Phase two calls for Novus Development to buy out homeowners on the north end of town. Novus is trying to contract with North End Homeowners like Terry Letson to get their houses. But so far she and other are digging in saying Novus’ offer is too low. Novus has to get the lion’s share of the 126 property on the North End of town under contract. So far he is falling short because of property owners’ unwilling to budget.

A South St. Louis woman who has owned and run a salvage yard for nearly 60 years has won an eminent domain suit against developers who wanted her land. The State Supreme Court has ruled in Opal Henderson’s favor. Developers had offered her $200,000 for the property. She thought $2million was a fairer price. The business supports Henderson who is in her 70s and her two sons. Henderson and her attorney say the person trying to develop the land can’t prove there is financing in place.

Global warming could be with us for centuries. A frank assessment by the World’s leading climate experts using their strongest language to date, scientists say global warming has begun and is very likely caused by humans. According to the report there is a 90% certainty that global warming is caused by the burning of fossil fuels. The assessment makes it nearly impossible to say natural forces are to blame. Climate scientists believe the warming could be unstoppable for centuries even if humans do better job of controlling pollution. The report indicates stronger hurricane seasons including those on the Atlantic Coast such as Katrina are in all likelihood due to global warming. By the year 2100l, the earth’s average temperature could see an increase of anywhere from 2 degrees to a little over 22 degrees Fahrenheit. Sea levels could raise between7 and 23 inches by the end of the century as well. The intergovernmental panel on climate change was created by the United Nations in 1988 and included hundreds of scientists from 113 nations. They release an assessment in stages every 5 to 6 years.

On a remote plateau in Northwestern Arizona, the second man to walk on the moon became the first non Native American Tuesday to walk on Skywalk; a ribbon of glass suspended almost a mile above the Grand Canyon. To member of the Indian Tribe that live here Sky walk is about t money and securing the tribe’s future. Skywalk is located in part of the Grand Canyon belonging to the Hualipai Indians, and while the Canyon is beautiful it has little monetary value. The tribe hopes Skywalk will attract tourists from Las Vegas especially European and Asian groups attracted to the American West. It is that planned development that has environmentalists criticizing the project and the tribe for selling their souls to sin city.

Whether fixed on fences, trapped in trees or bounding with the breeze, plastic bags re prevalent pieces of litter.

If the customer brings a bag f4ro a competitor a bag they have at home to put their groceries in and they will get 10 cents a bag. For Susan Barsch , her canvas bag is all she usually needs to gather her groceries. But even some of those supporting the ban say the bags are not always to blame. The real issue is what people do with the bags once they are given them.

The Highway 40 project official begins today. It is the largest and most aggressive road construction project ever undertaken by MoDOT. Despite the concern of many, MoDot says the only way to get this project done quickly and within the $545 million budget is to shutdown 40 for two years. Within the next few weeks you will start to see construction here at the 40 –I70 interchange as it will be completely rebuilt. All of those bridges and ramps along 40 between Spoede and Kingshighway will also eventually be rebuilt. The first bridges to close will be Tamm and Bellevue. It won’t be until early 1008 that the first stretch of 40 between Spoede and I70 will shut down.

That action for the Constitution Party and the group Missourians against Illegal immigration was to organize Saturday’s fundraiser. The two groups coordinated with the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps to bring the group’s Founder and President Chris Simcox to Valley Park. Simcox describes the minutemen as a citizen activist group that helps authorities watch the U.S. Border with Mexico. On the group’s website, it says Valley Park is under attack. Saturday’s event called “Defender of America”. Valley Park Mayor Jeffrey Whitteaker says he requested to use the Middle School Cafeteria. We asked the Mayor if that was the proper place for this kind of event. Linda Martinez is one of the attorneys representing the people who have sued Valley Park over the ordinance. She believes the event sends a bad message at the wrong location. The fundraise comes just days before a court hearing on the ordinance. Just another example of how heated the debate in Valley Park has become over the ordinance and its complications. Fox 2 News @ 5:00 am, 6:00 am, 7:00 am, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm & 9 pm.

Police in Missouri may soon have to get the immigration status of everyone they arrest. The Missouri House gave preliminary approval to the Bill. Police would then have to verify the immigration status of those who say they are not U.S. citizens. Critics say that standard puts an unfair burden on legal immigrants who are not U.S. Citizens. But supporters say the bill will help ensure Missouri does not become a sanctuary for illegals. The bill has received first round approval in the House. The senate is working on a similar measure.

Says this section of road, the third of a mile overpass in Ladue where Highway 40 goes over Clayton and Warson Roads is a massive engineering challenge. That entire flyover needs to be rebuilt, but that presents a huge problem. All of Highway 40 roughly between Lindbergh and Clayton Road will have to be totally shut down.

In addition to probably having to close 40 completely, contractors are worried about this part. 40 % of all the project money over $180 million will be spent at this one intersection.

More security at a Metro East High School following a bathroom wall threat. The scrawled message said something bad was going to happen today. Roxana High School administrators have known about this threat since last week. The district has involved the authorities in tracking down the student responsible.

recycled from the company now…old computers, stereos, telephones and even ipods take up unnecessary space. Space and time is something the county does not have much of. Recycling the electronic waste also makes the county money. Residents can drop off used electronics to the landfill which folks sort into six different categories. In other North Carolina counties, Goodwill Centers take in computers and break them down into usable component parts. It is great for the environment and it never touches a landfill.

Recycling street side, composting yard waste and picking up a prius, all ways to help out the environment and so can playing the stock market with what is monikered socially responsible funds. Socially responsible investing means avoiding those companies that sell alcohol, tobacco and firearms or maybe ding business in Sudan or pollute the environment so you are trying to invest consistent with your beliefs. More and more people are seeing Green mutual funds consistent with their values. The number of green funds and socially responsible funds have been growing dramatically, so with more funds out there Webster U Professors see more and more companies looking to hop into the green fund pool. Alan Skrainka with Edward Jones does not always see these funds as a good fit. The decision to pursue socially responsible investing is a personal decision it is something that we don’t generally recommend but if someone decides to do this they have to understand there are risks because some of these funds are not properly diversified and they have too many of their eggs in one basket.

If you could pay money to reduce your individual impact on the environment would you? It is called carbon dioxide offsetting. Whether you are taking a flight or having a pizza delivered you can pay to erase what is called your carbon footprint. But will it work? It is easy to see our impact on the atmosphere but if you can’t stop moving you can start paying by what’s called a carbon offsetting. AS part of my taking the plane flight for example plant some extra trees and those trees soak up the same amount of carbon dioxide. Some website will calculate the impact of flights, drives or just living and take your credit card payment to plant trees but businesses will as well. Delta passengers can already pay more to offset the impact of their flight. Coldplay pays to offset concert impacts and even the Vatican is pushing to be the first carbon neutral country. John Beckman is an arborist for Ray’s Tree Service and says trees can make a difference when it comes to cleansing the air. Offsetting has its critics even in the environmental world. Some say it is a way to pay to be irresponsible and many doubt the true impact but if it helps heal the atmosphere or just your own guilt carbon offsetting could be beneficial.

Five ideas you may have heard of that if put into practice could save you cash and protect the environment. Keep all your air conditioning vents open. Even in rooms you are not using. If you are blocking off the flow of air to one room it is got go somewhere. Closing vents can actually waste energy by increasing pressure and causing leaks in your air ducts. Trim the grass around your compressor, form a turn off team at home. Switch off lights and unplug basic appliances when you are not using them. It will save you money. The average cable box when it is off but still plugged in costs over $25 a year in electricity. Replace your light bulbs; these old incandescent bulbs are inefficient. Replace them with new coil shaped compact fluorescent bulbs. The new bulbs last up to 10 times longer than the others. Finally consider a hybrid over you r gas guzzler. Hybrids run on gas some of the time and electricity the rest of the time. You may pay more but can recoup the money over time. Fox 2 News @ 5:00 am, 6:00 am, 7:00 am, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm, 137

In theory, ethanol sounds almost perfect. Instead of going to the Middle East for dirty‐ burning none renewable fossil fuels, you can just head to Americas cornfield to fill up your tank. President Bush likes the idea so much he s called for US gasoline usage to be cut by 20% over ten years and is counting on ethanol to help make up much of the difference. But if you take a closer look ethanol also poses some environmental problems of its own. Specifically corn takes more fertilizer than other crops and the nitrogen and phosphorous in that fertilizer can run of into rivers and streams causing algae growth and killing river bottom plants. Along the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries in Maryland, scientists are developing ways for farms to limit the environmental damage. One way is to plant cover crops. After you harvest the corn, you plant another crops that you don’t fertilize or harvest, that will suck up all the nitrogen and phosphorous that was left behind.
