HIGHLAND - Mary Lu Bretsch is a retired school librarian. She spent her career teaching in Belleville with District 201.

She began in 1971 at Belleville West and then finished in 2002 with Belleville East.

Retired Librarian Has Passion For Storytelling

More Than Story Time Pioneer Photo By Bill NapperMary Lu Bretsch loves reading books,but is passionate about telling stories.

Exposing students to this craft, helps them engage their auditory skills and stimulates imagination.

Not only is Mrs. Bretsch passionate about reading and books, but she loves to tell stories to students of all ages.

She began story telling while she was earning her library degree an the University of Illinois.

One of her requirements was to take a class in story telling. Once she was exposed to the art of telling stories, she has not quit.

She began asking classroom teachers if she could visit their class on her lunch break.

She would begin with the teachers of her own kids. After the story telling time, students would say, “Wow, your Mom is really cool!” Now her own children are grown, so she volunteers to visit her grand-children’s classrooms. Many people in Belleville remember her stories and want to hear them again. She also belongs to the “River Winds” which is a group of story tellers that get together and share their craft and perform at local and national events.

Mrs. Bretsch is always looking for students and adults who want to get involved with story telling.

There is a youth story telling festival that takes place at the Arch in St. Louis during May. Young people have the opportunity to learn the skills of story telling and have a chance to present to an audience.

Reality Store Pioneer Photo/ By Bill NapperFaith Scott takes part in The Reality Store at HMS, Thursday. This annual event is a teaching moment for many middle school students about what it takes to be financially responsible in today’s world.

Cancer Awareness Pioneer Photo/ By Bill NapperThe Spengel-Boulanger team poses at the Highland facility to bring about awareness of cancer in cooperation with St. Joseph Hospital.

This week we begin a new ad-venture in The Pioneer with a true desire to bring about change that will impact not only our youth, but adults living in this area as well.

On page 5, you will find the first of an eight week series on Highland Middle School teachers.

This series will be expanded to include topics which provides

Eight Series on Education Will Highlight Best of Communitya positive impact on others within The Pioneer readership.

I find it amazing that our nation is so rich, yet, so far behind others in so many areas.

One of those areas, is education.As a nation, we pour millions

into educating our kids, but still we lag behind others on the world platform. While we must learn the basics,that is, “reading,writing, and arithmetic”, we must push to a higher level.

But what we don’t understand that education is more than just having knowledge about a par-ticular subject.

Education is about being free and keeping us free.

With a good education, we are free from poverty.

With a good education, we are empowered to solve problems and

face the challenges that we may not be aware of in today’s world. But our world is constantly evolv-ing and we will need solutions to those problems.

The St. Louis area is within 500 miles of three-quarters of the entire U.S. population. This area and those of us who happen to be fortunate enough to live here have a tremendous advantage.

We can only compete with

dents have a winning spirit and positive attitude.

We don’t whine; we don’t cry. Some people say they have problems to solve, we say we have challenges to met.

So here at The Pioneer, we want to highlight the best of the best and tell others about those who are making a big impact in our part of the world today.

Please contact me with in-

formation or ideas on possible articles.

Meanwhile, we hope you enjoy the tremendous articles that we have lined up for you. Maybe you could contact those who we highlight and ask them how you can implement some of their ideas into your programs or daily life.

After all, we are stronger and wiser when we share ideas and inspiration with one another.

those around us, and those in a world wide mar-ket, if we have the proper tools to do so.

Civic Memorial High School 50’s & 60’s Plus 1970 Reunion Experience IV Set

BETHALTO - In 2000, the Civic Memorial Class of 1965 started planning for their 35th reunion.

For advance registration forms call Chuck Bennett at 618-259-5434 or email him at [email protected].

During the planning sessions discussions turned to the number of classmates with spouses, and/ or siblings in classes surrounding us, and also the number of people who attended Civic Memorial in the 50’s & 60’s yet did not graduate from CM due to the military, change of schools, or starting a family. The idea for the 50’s & 60’s Civic Memorial Reunion Experience was born. With humble beginnings in 2000, the Reunion Experience III held in 2010 saw over 190 attending, and contributing to the 3rd fund raiser/reunion that has donated over $6000.00 total to the Civic Memorial general fund.

On October 23, the Civic Memorial Reunion Experience IV will be held, starting on that Friday night with a mixer to be held at the Airport Bowl in Bethalto at 7pm.

A golf outing will be held Saturday morning Oct. 24 a at Spencer T Olin at 9am; entry fee is $25 per person for 9 holes with a cart. Classmates and spouses welcome!

On Saturday night, October 24 the dinner/dance will be held at Julia’s Banquet Center in East Alton starting at 5pm till 6pm to mix and mingle, with the buffet dinner starting at 6pm. The cost is $30 per person in advance, and $35 per person at the door. For the dance only (no dinner) it is $10 in advance and $15.00 at the door. A class pictures will be taken at 7 pm at $15 per picture, (cash that night) and music is provided by Big Time Entertainment, Rob Simmons DJ.

This year Sunday has been left open for each class to “do their own thing.” The class of 1965 will be having a breakfast at the Golden Cor-ral at 9am, Sunday, October 25; each person pays as he/she attends, no money collected in advance.

This event was formulated to make everyone who has ever graced the halls of Civic Memorial High School during the 50’s & 60’s feel welcome, and we have had over the last 15 years several “first timers.” This year we have added the class of 1970 to the mix, and plan on adding a year in the “70’s” each time the event is held in the future.

By Bill NapperHIGHLAND - For many students, school is just a lot more fun these days, and learning is a pleasure and not a chore as it may have been when a few years ago.

At least that seems to be the case for the students of Highland Middle School teacher, Ann Kleinmann.

She is a 7th grade math teacher as well as a coach for the Math Team and Scholar Bowl team.

She is “all about the kids” and is also involved with Teach Illi-nois Math and Science Academy (IMSA) Fusion, an enrichment program for talented math and science students after school ev-ery Wednesday during the school year .

She is Javpaak Counselor and also teaches a week long sum-mer camp for IMSA each year in the Metro East. In addition to teaching at HMS, she is an Adjunct Professor at Greenville College and spreads her enthusi-asm by teaching an Elementary and Middle School Mathematics Methods course to undergraduate pre-service teachers.

After three years of teaching at St. Paul School, she started at Highland Middle School, where she continues to make learning fun for eight years.

Currently she teaches math and pre-algebra at the 7th grade level; endorsed for math and science at middle school and chemistry and biology at high school level.

She holds a Bachelors Degree

in Chemistry from SIUE, Mas-ters Degree in Education from Greenville College, and Education Specialist Degree in Educational Administration from SIUE.

“I love learning and have al-ways wanted to teach children,” she said, “I want to inspire ado-lescents to live up to their great-est potential. My favorite part of teaching is the “light bulb” moment ... when a student who struggles with a concept has a break through and gains a deeper understanding for the subject.”

Her favorite quote is by Henry Ford “Whether you think you can or think you can’t...you’re right.”

“It speaks volumes about mind-set. Part of my job is to help my students to change their mind-set about learning from a fixed mind-set, you are born smart or you are not, to a growth mind-set, that is, the harder you work the smarter you will be.” she added, “If a student cannot solve a prob-lem the first time they try, it only means they cannot do it yet; with perseverance and hard work they can find the solutions they seek.”

Most of here classes have 23-29 students in them and as teachers know, each student has unique strengths and weaknesses when it comes to learning.

To reach each student, she likes to change up the activities as much as possible so that the students look forward to class to see what they are going to do next.

Some of the activities they do in math is to take notes, collaborate in group problem solving, math-

ematical scavenger hunts and even play math games. When students take notes in class, she has the presentation recorded and plays back the video. She always takes time to pause the video which fosters discussion. This allows her to focus on her students and their learning instead of concen-trating on what to say or write on the board.

“Ideally, the students would be taking notes at home and coming to class prepared to engage in activities to apply what they have learned,” she said. This model is known as a “flipped class.”

They do this with great success at Highland High School in the science classes.

“Unfortunately, not all of my students have access to the Internet and we are not quite ready for that leap just yet,” she noted.

Still, it’s easy to see the excite-ment and feel the energy in her classroom.

After all, the students “job” is to learn and it’s more pleasurable to teach when they are having fun while learning and preparing for the future.

Editor’s Note: This is the first of an eight week series on Highland Middle School teach-ers. This series will be expanded to include others who provide a positive impact on students and youngsters within the The Pio-neer readership. Please contact the editor with info or ideas on possible articles. ([email protected])

Planned Parenthood Nationwide Protests Set for Oct. 10A second round of public pro-

Adaptive Bicycle Pioneer Photo By Bill NapperAt the recent Highland Knights of Columbus Appreciation Dinner for Firefighters and EMTs, Elijah Daley steers as his son Elijah rides the adaptive bicycle which the Highland Knights of Columbus, Council 1580 purchased about a year ago. The Daley family, Angie, Elijah (on bike) Kadance, and Emerson wanted to show the Knights the bike which cost about $4,000. Angie had written the Knights a letter, telling them about her three children and the challenges which they face everyday. In her letter she explained that she was wishing for something that would make her children happy - a bicycle. She explained that her two 6-year-old twins, Elijah and Kadence are disabled because they had been born 15-weeks premature. In gratitude, the Daley family wanted to show the Knights how well the children are progressing.

HIGHLAND - HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital in Highland was recognized as one (1) of only five (5) hospitals statewide during the Illinois Hospital Association (IHA) Institute for Innovations in Care and Quality’s 2015 Quality Excellence Achievement Awards on Sept. 11. The fifth annual awards were presented during IHA’s Leadership Summit in Lombard.

A panel of nationally-recognized quality improvement experts evaluated submissions based on achieving progress in implementing the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s Triple Aim – for improvement—safe, ef-fective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable.

“Receiving this award gives HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital great pride and affirms our Mission: “To reveal and embody Christ’s healing love for all people through our high quality Franciscan health care ministry,” says Peggy Sebastian, President & CEO, HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital. “Along with the 5-star national award for patient satisfaction excellence that we received earlier this year, this award is validation that our patient-centered focus of delivering health care services resonates with those who come to us for their health care needs.”

HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital was graded as the top honoree in the “Rural/Critical Access Hospital” category for “Patient-Centered Approach to Reducing Readmissions.” By improving their care coordination and expanding their multi-disciplinary team approach to discharge planning, HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital has successfully reduced their readmission rates by 20% in the past two years.

“The best and most complete patient care doesn’t begin and end at our hospital doors. Our colleagues go the extra mile and have a drive for excellence that can be seen every day,” states Bill Sullivan, chairman, board of directors, HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital. “This award recognizes the respect and care that they put in to each and every patient. I couldn’t be more proud of what we are doing at HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital.”

Nearly 100 applications were submitted by nearly 50 hospitals in four categories for this year’s awards.

Additional honorees recognized during the awards ceremony included:•“Health Care System Category:” Sinai Health System (Chicago)•“Urban Hospital Category:” HSHS St. Elizabeth’s Hospital (Belleville;

like HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital, is an affiliate of Hospital Sisters Health System) was recognized for “Eliminating Medically Unnecessary Blood Transfusions at a Community Teaching Hospital.” The other hornoree in this category was Presence Saint Joseph Hospital (Elgin)

•“Tim Philipp Award for Excellence in Palliative Care:” AMITA Health (Arlington Heights)

“IHA’s Quality Excellence Achievement Awards recognize how Illinois hospitals and health systems are committed to improving the quality of care they deliver to the patients and communities they serve,” said IHA President and CEO Maryjane A. Wurth. “By implementing best practices and sharing information, they are driving health care transformation and helping our members move forward to provide the right care, in the right place, at the right time, while reducing costs.”

“These award-winning projects offer a snapshot of what Illinois hospitals are doing when they think bold to take up best practices, deploy evidence-based practices and test unique approaches to drive health care innovation,” said Jay Bhatt, DO, MPH, MPA, FACP, Chief Health Officer, IHA. “They are taking a deeper dive into their data to identify actionable opportunities to not only help improve the delivery of care and patient outcomes, but also to promote the health and wellness of their communities.”

SJH Announces Fall Health FairHIGHLAND - St. Joseph’s Hospital here has enjoyed tremendous

success with its health fair held in the spring with more than 1,000 at-tendees each year. Because of that success, and through a demonstrated need for additional health care screening opportunities as identified through the hospital’s recently-completed community health needs assessment (CHNA), St. Joseph’s Hospital is adding a second health fair for local residents to take advantage of on Friday, Oct. 23, 5:30am-11:30am at the Knights of Columbus Hall on Route 143.

“The popularity of our annual spring health fair, along with the ad-dition of the fall health fair, are tangible ways of St. Joseph’s Hospital to demonstrate our mission of revealing Christ’s healing love for all people through our health care ministry” says Peggy A. Sebastian, President and C.E.O. “The fall health fair is yet another convenient and accessible way for local residents to learn about their health, get answers to questions and walk away with information that will make it easier to live a healthy life.”

Just as with the annual spring health fair, local residents attending the 2015 Fall St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Fair can pre-register and pre-pay for the October 23rd event. More than 700 attendees pre-registered and were able to reduce their wait at the St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Fair in April 2015.

“Giving the public an opportunity to pre-register has helped the Health Fair become more efficient in more ways than one,” says Megan Stanley, RN, St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Fair coordinator. “Not only from a registration processing point of view, but more importantly, allowing attendees to start their screenings much quicker upon arrival.”

Area residents wanting to attend the Fall Health Fair must pre-register and pre-pay for an appointment time in-person at a number of upcoming pre-register sign-up events being held through October 8 – all taking place in the main lobby of the hospital:• Thursday, September 3, 8am-10am • Tuesday, September 8th, 11am-1pm• Wednesday, September 9th, 5pm-7pm • Tuesday, September 15th, 4pm-6pm• Friday, September 18th, 11am-1pm • Monday, September 21st, 2pm-4pm• Thursday, September 24th, 8am-10am• Wednesday, September 30th, 8am-10am • Friday, October 2nd, 4pm-6pm• Tuesday, October 6th, 8am-10am• Thursday, October 8th, 3pm-5pm

Pre-registration will ONLY take place in person, and will be available during the events previously listed. All participants must pre-register for an appointment time.

Anyone without a scheduled appointment must wait until walk-ins are accepted after 10:30 am.

The SJH Health Fair is a self-pay service. St. Joseph’s Hospital will not bill your insurance plan for any services rendered. You may submit your Health Fair receipt to your insurance plan, but St. Joseph’s Hospital will not be able to provide an insurance claim.

Plus, to ensure that Fall Health Fair attendees receive test results in a timely manner, St. Joseph’s Hospital will personally mail all test results to participants in approximately 2-3weeks following the Fall Health Fair; no test results will be mailed or faxed to a participant’s health care provider.

Those attending the 2015 SJH Health Fair will receive vital informa-tion about both women’s and men’s health issues, as well as nutrition.Participants must be 18 years of age or older to take any blood test offered at the 2015 Fall St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Fair.

The 2015 Fall St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Fair results will be mailed to the participant in approximately 3-4 weeks; no results will be mailed or faxed to the provider.

For details or if you have any questions, please call 618-651-2739 or via e-mail at [email protected].

Hot Air Balloon, Sport Aviation Exhibition Set

The Village of Marine is hosting its First Annual Hot Air Balloon and Sport Aviation Ex-hibition on Friday and Saturday (rain date September 27) at the park in the middle of the VIllage.

Along with Hot Air Balloons, the free event will feature a va-riety of flying machine exhibits and kid-friendly activities. The event was the result of the Ma-rine Historical Society wanting to bring more awareness to the historic village of Marine.

Event coordinator Rae Lynne Meyer said, “Since the event is free to the public, we hope to see a lot of people participating in the raffles and enjoying food and refreshments from the lo-cal organizations, business and restaurants.”

“No other Hot Air Balloon Festival features such a variety of exhibits and activities for kids of all ages. Grownups may have more fun than the kids,” said Meyer.

Any profits generated will go to the Marine Grade School and the Village of Marine. The event can be followed on Facebook as “Hot Air Balloons Over Marine.”

Featuring several hot air bal-loons, the exhibition will include gliders from the local glider clubs, a hang glider, ejections seats, sky diving, para gliding, RC planes, UAV drones, gyro-copters, one-seat helicopter, an ultra-light airplane, a powered parachute, competition-class rubber band powered airplanes, model rockets and more. The ARCH Helicop-ter may even make an appear-ance late morning on Saturday. The sport aviation exhibits are planned to be on display in the park on Saturday from about 7 am to 9 pm. The hot air balloons plan to fly Friday evening about 4:30, Saturday about 7 am and 4:40 pm and Sunday about 7 am.

Bill Weder, who has been a pilot in the area for 39 years, is coordinator of aviation exhibits. Weder emphasized the goal is to host a family-oriented, kid-friendly community event, planned and sponsored by local area organizations and busi-nesses. “Since this is our first experience with hosting such an event, we expect to learn what works and doesn’t work for next year. This is an experiment and hope the public will understand!” Pre-orders of a DVD of the event will be available for sale.

Sponsors are needed to help with the costs of the event and anyone interested in volunteering to help with the many activities may call Bill Weder at 618-530-5809 or send an email to [email protected] or Rae Lynne Meyer at [email protected], or sign up on one of the sheets located at Marine Coin Company, 155 North Duncan Street in Marine.

MORO Linda Sue Brazier

Linda Sue Brazier of Moro passed away at 3:15 pm Wednes-day, September 16, 2015 of pan-creatic cancer.

She was born on September 3, 1938 in Alton, daughter of the late Robert O. & Silvia (Bruce) Goss.

She was an intelligent, passion-ate, and joyful woman who deeply loved husband and family. She was a gifted and creative teacher of thirty years and continued during retirement serving with Illinois

Retired Teachers Association. She made people feel special, lighting up a room with her smile which was a reflection of her vibrant and positive love of life. Linda made it clear that she lived a full and happy life, content and wanting for nothing. She demonstrated her extraordinary gift of hospitality all the way to the very end.

Linda was a Silver Life Master bridge player. Her favorite physi-cal activity was participating with the maintenance of her and her husband, Reid’s small farm.

In addition to her husband, James Reid Brazier, she is sur-vived by her children and their spouses, Janet (Jeff) Bradford of West Des Moines, IA, Martha (Randy) Brown of Seymour, IN, Randy (Felicia) Brazier of Bethalto, Annette (Mark) Dotson of Hartwell, GA and Roanna Bra-zier of Madison, WI; eleven well loved grandchildren and a brother and sister-in-law, Vincent (Linda) Goss of Brighton

In accordance with her wishes, cremation rites were accorded.

Elias, Kallal and Schaaf Funer-al Home in Bethalto were in charge of arrangements. Memorials may be directed to American Cancer Society. Online condolences and guest book may be found at www.eliaskallalandschaaf.com

Area News_______________________________________________HIGHLAND - The Highland Arts Council is set to celebrate world class art in the hometown atmosphere with its 12th annual Art in the Park.

The two-day judged exhibit and sale of works by nearly 70 profes-sional artists will be held October 10-11, at Lindendale Park here just 30 miles east of St. Louis.

Free and open to the public, Art in the Park will feature origi-nal works in a wide range of art mediums, including: watercolor, oil/acrylic, clay, glass, draw-ing/pastels, fabric/fiber, wood, sculpture, photography, jewelry, graphics/printmaking and mixed media. Artwork will be exhibited and offered for sale in outdoor booths from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, October 10 and Sunday, October 11 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“This family-friendly festival brings professional artwork to the community while providing music, food and fun for children and adults,” said Lynnette Schuep-bach, the event chairperson and one of the directors of the Highland Arts Council, the producer of Art in the Park.

“We are pleased to be cel-

Highland Arts Council To Celebrate Art in the Park 12th Anniversaryebrating Art in the Park’s 12th successful year of showcasing the art culture of the region and the nation and bringing this directly to the community of Highland and surrounding areas.”

Judging for Art in the Park will be conducted by a panel of experi-enced art professionals. The 2015 panel includes: Michael Anderson a designer, illustrator and artist for over 40 years, Kathryn Nahorski director of the St. Louis Artist Guild, and Charity Davis Woodard a ceramic artist in Edwardsville. This year, a total of $10,000 cash prizes will be awarded in twelve categories.

Throughout the weekend, art-ists will be holding demonstra-tions at their booths. In addition, featured artists will create works of art which will be donated to the City of Highland for the enjoyment of the local community.

Back by popular demand is Dueling Desserts, a food-as-art competition and demonstration featuring artful, edible desserts prepared by chefs and culinary professionals within the bi-state area. Attendees can vote for their favorite by dropping spare change

in jars on Sunday. All proceeds are donated to a

food pantry operated by Highland Area Christian Services Ministry.

“We hope to not only promote artists over the course of the weekend, but to also inspire new artists and art enthusiasts,” said Schuepbach. “There aren’t many other places where kids can start their own art collections with just a few dollars.” The Art Gallery…Just for Kids allows any child up to the age of 18 to purchase artwork donated by exhibiting artists for $5. In addition, young people can create their own art projects in the Kids Kreation area.

Food and drink will be available throughout the fair. It’s a great event for a beautiful day with the family. Lindendale Park, the site for the event, is handicap acces-sible and parking is free. Art in the Park will be held in Linden-dale Park located at the corner of Lindenthal Avenue and Park Hill Drive, Highland, IL 62249, just 30 miles east of St. Louis.

10 A.M. – Washington University physician Dr. Premal Thaker Gynecologic oncologist – Siteman Cancer Center “Basics in Ovarian Cancer”

Ovarian cancer often goes undetected until it has spread within the pelvis and abdomen. At this late stage, ovarian cancer is more difficult to treat and is frequently fatal. Early-stage ovarian cancer, in which the disease is confined to the ovary, is more likely to be treated successfully.

11 A.M. – Washington University physician Dr. Ron Bose Breast medical oncologist – Siteman Cancer Center “Genes and Breast Cancer”

Cancers occur when a buildup of mutations in critical genes—those that control cell growth and division or repair damaged DNA—allow cells to grow and divide

uncontrollably to form a tumor. In most cases of breast cancer, these genetic changes are acquired during a person’s lifetime and are present only in certain cells in the breast.

OSF Saint Anthony’s Health Center Illinois American Water Wins Business Health AwardALTON – The OSF Saint Antho-ny’s Foundation has announced Illinois American Water as the Business Health Award winner for August.

“We’re honored to receive this award,” said Karen Cooper, opera-tions superintendent for Illinois American Water’s Alton District. “It speaks to the benefits Illinois American Water provides and our continued focus on the well-being and safety of our employees. We feel blessed to work for a com-pany that truly cares about their customers as well as employees and their families.”

The Business Health Award program, established earlier this year by the OSF Saint Anthony’s Foundation, recognizes area businesses that provide health and wellness programs for their employees. The award honors their ongoing commitment to pro-moting safe work environments and encouraging workers to live healthier lifestyles.

“With all that Illinois American Water does for our community, it’s great to see them demonstrat-ing the same care toward their employees,” said Ajay Pathak, president and CEO of OSF Saint Anthony’s. “As a health care provider, we often see people in their time of need.

The online program is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and provides health assess-ments, wellness challenges, health information, seminars, coaching, chronic management and more. By participating, employees earn wellness credits that can be ex-changed for cash incentives.

“The program rewards our em-ployees whenever they complete a wellness challenge or finish a seminar,” Cooper said. “Our main focus is to keep all of the employees and their families safe and healthy.”
