Songs from “A Star Is Born,” “Les Miser- ables” and the “Wizard of Oz” coupled with a rendition of Patsy Cline’s “I’ve Got You” are sure to leave audiences laughing, cheering and getting on their feet. The guys don’t just sing – they dance, too. Their take on Lady Gaga’s “I Was Born This Way” wouldn’t be complete without some dance moves inspired by the superstar. In honor of its anniversary, the chorus of more than 80 men from the St. Louis area also will sing several original songs, includ- ing the funny “Gay in St. Louis,” and the emotional “Losing My Mind.” “You’ll get the seriousness, the laughs and they’ll even throw in some twists,” said Jason Johnston, who used to sing with the group and is now the marketing and public relations director for the chorus. Johnston compared the chorus’ “Our Song” concert to an episode of the popular musical comedy TV show “Glee.” “If you like ‘Glee,’ then you’ll love this,” he said. Al Fischer, a longtime member of the cho- rus who took the reins as artistic director in August 2011, said Gateway Men’s Chorus collaborated with several of the group’s past directors when selecting songs for the anni- versary concert, which will be on Saturday, March 31, at The 560 Music Center, located at 560 Trinity Ave. in the Loop. “We got input on what they wanted to hear since the concert will focus on music that has been written or arranged for Gate- way Men’s Chorus in the past,” Fischer said, noting chorus founder Michael Cohrs and other former directors will be at the concert. “We’re embracing our role in the community, where we are now and how far we’ve come.” Gateway Men’s Chorus has come a long way since Cohrs started it in 1987 with 22 members. The group has released four CDs, including its most recent album entitled “I Want To Fly.” The chorus has performed on the popular TV show “America’s Got Talent,” and took the Powell Hall stage in 1996 and 1998.

To look at the Fenton property of Horstman and his wife Carol Sue, it’s hard to believe there is anything the pair can’t make into something. The two artists have a mind-boggling array of work – paintings on the wall, pho- tography in books, pottery on shelves, drawings, photos, mixed media collec- tions, and dozens of metal sculptures dotting the yard, most from reclaimed items.

School board members have been discuss- ing ways to trim the operating budget for the 2012-13 fiscal year without cutting back on teachers or negatively affecting classroom learning, Assistant Superintendent/Chief Fi- nancial Officer Pat Lanane said. “It looks like we’re looking at something between $800,000 and $1 million” Lanane said. “Our revenue is absolutely flat. When I go back and look at the revenue levels in 2007-08, we’re going to be almost exactly at those same levels, even after the tax increase (Prop. L).” The district estimates the loss in revenues since 2007-08 at $14 million. The majority of that loss is due to lower property values that, in turn, result in less tax revenue coming into the school district. Prop. L, a 65-cent tax increase proposal, was approved by 54 percent of the voters in November 2010. Prop. L promised to main- tain class sizes, retain qualified teachers and eliminate deficit spending for day-to-day op- erations. Though Prop. L was approved ion 2010, Lindbergh will not see those revenues until January 2012. Lanane reports that the district has seen a net increase of 200 kids over 2007-08. “So, we’ve got more kids, same money, pric- es have gone up over the five year period, and we’re not having the normal revenue growth that we would have had just on an annual ba- sis,” Lanane said. “All those things have kind of gone togeth- er for us to say, ‘well, time to go back to the drawing board and look at the budget and see where we can make some reductions that won’t hit the classroom.’ We’re going to try and avoid that this year,” he continued.

A “Green” House Has Many Meanings
Ask any homebuilder what the pri-mary word in residential development is. The answer will be “green.”
But what, exactly, is a green home? Never has a word lost its meaning so quickly in the dense forest of market-ing hype. It could mean the builder in-stalled a low-flow toilet or it could be LEED-certified, which means impar-tial experts have determined the home meets stringent environmental and energy-efficiency standards.
To become LEED-certified, the ar-chitect must incorporate environmental factors into every aspect of the home’s design and construction, including its size, location, orientation on the prop-erty, building materials and choice of heating and cooling systems. Although LEED homes cost slightly more to build, the added costs are quickly re-couped in energy savings. And because they also reduce pollutants, green homes are safer for the homeowner and the community.
But is there a market for LEED homes? St. Louis architect Daniel Stauder of Stauder Architecture be-lieves there is, and he has built one to LEED standards in the middle of Kirk-wood. The three bedroom, two-and-a-half bath house is located at 297 Frieda Ave. and is under contract to be sold.
“I believe there are people who un-derstand that a home is more than four walls, a roof and a monthly mortgage payment,” Stauder said. “They see their home as a reflection of who they are, not how much they are worth. They care about the quality of their neigh-borhood, about their home’s effect on the environment and on the available resources of their community.”
LEED, which stands for Leader-ship in Energy and Environmental De-sign, was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council. To achieve LEED-certification, a home must accumulate a certain number of points in seven rat-ing categories. As a house accumulates more points, it attains higher certifica-
tion levels, ranging from silver to gold to platinum. Stauder targeted a silver certification in the house, one of the few LEED-certified homes in Kirkwood.
The Stauder home illustrates how a home garners points:
1. “Locations and Linkages” awards points for selecting a site with environ-mental and cost advantages. A typi-cally new development requires more land, roads, water and sewers, more traffic and public transportation.
The Stauder home sits on a moder-ate-size lot. It places minimal burden on the city’s infrastructure and resourc-es. Although it is more than four times the size of the demolished structure, the two-story design takes up only 600 more square feet of land, leaving ample front and back yards.
2. “Sustainable Sites” dictates the placement of the home with respect to the sun.
The Stauder home is designed with a long east-west axis with large south-
facing windows shielded by carefully-sized overhangs. In winter, the low southern sun provides free warmth. In summer, the overhangs shield high summer sun.
3. “Water Efficiency” seeks to limit the use of water inside and out. Al-though water shortages are not a prob-lem in St. Louis, waste-water disposal, both storm and sanitary is.
The Kirkwood home includes high-efficiency plumbing fixtures and a high-tech piping system incorporat-ing a manifold that distributes water to each fixture as needed. This system also reduces the amount of hot water cooling down in the pipes when no one is at home. The home keeps all plumb-ing fixtures close to the water heater, which minimizes heat loss through the building and provides hot water quick-ly. No more running the shower for five minutes to warm it up.
4. “Energy and Atmosphere” is all about limiting the use of oil, coal and
gas in the construction and operation of the home, saving the cost of heating and air conditioning, and minimizing pollution caused by the building and use of the home.
The average home has a 50- to 100-year life. In its lifetime, it consumes tons of non-renewable and imported energy and pours many tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. A LEED home uses 30 to 40 percent less elec-tricity and saves more than 100 tons of carbon pollution over its life span.
The Stauder home features a geo-thermal system in which the majority of the energy needed to heat and cool the home comes from the earth, cost free. Three 200-foot wells circulate water that uses the earth’s consistent temperature to reduce the need for heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. The home is also constructed with extremely large amounts of insu-lation. All cracks and duct seams are sealed.
5. “Materials and Resources” recog-nizes the huge quantity of energy need-ed to extract, process and transport building materials and the tremendous waste generated in building the home. Points are awarded for the use of ma-terials that are recycled, made locally and low in volatile, toxic chemicals.
Stauder’s home features an “ad-vanced framing” system, which reduces the amount of lumber needed. It incor-porates composite wood materials, re-cycled insulation and hardwood floors made from bamboo, a rapidly renew-able resource.
6. “Indoor Air Quality” awards points for limiting hazardous pollut-ants in the home, including carbon monoxide, radon, mold, mildew, dust and formaldehyde.
The Stauder home features exterior walls that, though highly insulated and sealed, can nevertheless breathe, avoiding the buildup of moisture and mold which can remain throughout the lifetime of the building.
7. “Awareness and Education” offers points for training homeowners so the full benefits of the LEED home will be realized.
For more information regarding a LEED house, contact Stauder at [email protected].
Architect Dan Stauder followed strict “LEED” standards in new Kirkwood home
For LEED certification, the house at 297 Frieda Ave. had to meet a certain num-ber of points in seven categories, both exterior and interior.

by Marty HarrisKirkwood resident Larry Ross spent
35 years in the banking industry before retiring as a senior vice president with Bank of America almost three years ago.
Since he retired, Ross, 65, has been putting his professional knowledge to use as a SCORE volunteer helping small businesses.
“I just think you can really make a deep impression on individuals in this business,” Ross said about SCORE. “You can enjoy their successes and help them through difficult times.
“SCORE’s primary goal is to work with small business owners either through face-to-face counseling or through cyber counseling,” said Ross. “In addition to that we do education. We run seminars and workshops throughout the year.
“Business owners typically operate on their own,” Ross said. “We act as
their advisory board.” SCORE has three things going for
it: experience, knowledge and it’s free, volunteer Bob Boles of Manchester summarized.
Boles joined the SCORE team about two years ago after he retired. He was an educator for 12 years before buying an Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics franchise in 1970. In 1995, he began selling seminars to schools to train teachers on how to use reading and writing to raise test scores.
“I got into (SCORE) to give back to the community that’s been so good to me over the years,” Boles said, who tells the SCORE story and gives presentations to chambers of commerce throughout eastern Missouri.
What Is SCORE?SCORE, a nation-wide organization
which began in the mid-1960s, stands for Service Corps of Retired Executives. However, since about half of volunteers are still in the workforce, it doesn’t really apply today, so the organization is just known as SCORE, Ross said.
“Nationally we have 370 chapters and 13,000 counselors,” Ross said.
The St. Louis Chapter has 60
counselors. Its main office is at 200 N. Broadway in downtown St. Louis, space it shares with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). SCORE is a resource partner with the SBA, a business partner with the
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Veterans Business Resource Center and offers business counseling at St. Patrick’s Center and at the Justine Petersen organization at 1023 N. Grand Blvd.
The St. Louis Chapter also has branches in St. Charles and Kirkwood. Ross is office manager at the Kirkwood office at 333 S. Kirkwood Road, located in PNC Bank. Ross is also incoming chairman of the St. Louis chapter.
SCORE volunteers have experience in many fields from sales and marketing to retail to managing manufacturing on the shop floor.
Whatever business an individual has or a prospective entrepreneur can come up with, someone in SCORE has been in that business or been in one close to it, Boles said.
Kitchen Table BusinessesSmall business owners are
encouraged to contact SCORE.“Many of our clients have five
employees or less,” Ross said, adding their sales are predominately in the $500,000 to $1 million range.
“Some are called ‘kitchen table businesses,’ he added. “They operate out of their homes using their laptops.
“During this recession, many small businesses are struggling and they need to focus on their marketing,” he said. “Many have never created a business plan or thought about where they want
to go for the next three to five years.“We help them put together their
business plan and focus them on their marketing and we stay with our clients as long as they want us,” Ross said.
SCORE has many success stories.“I had a client who was selling out
of his basement and home,” Ross said. “I was able to help him get a loan to open a location where he could actually package and sell from that location. He was then able to hire two people.”
Ross also counseled an individual who is opening a banquet center.
“I reviewed his loan application and gave him advice for the information he needed to provide the bank,” Ross said. “He got the loan and he’s now in the construction process and will be opening in a couple of months.”
“I get energized by people’s successes,” Ross said, who has a 40-client case load and works about 40 to 60 hours a month. Volunteers must commit to 20 hours a month.
A Resource For ChambersAnother segment of SCORE is
working with chambers of commerce. “We work with about 30 chambers in
the St. Louis area,” said Ross.
Jim Wright, president/CEO of the Kirkwood-Des Peres Area Chamber of Commerce, is a big fan of SCORE.
Kirkwood resident Larry Ross, a retired bank executive, helps small business owners through his work as a SCORE volunteer.
