Impact: October 2011
Impact hits the air packed full of interesting and ground breaking stories that could impact several aspects of your life. Everyone's doing their part to go "Green" and St. Louis County government is no exception. We look at all the things being done to help out the environment and possibly save you tax dollars down the road. We also discover a unknown organization right here in St. Louis taking on the enormous task of saving thousands of plants that keep you healthy from being wiped off the earth. And we've all heard about the health benefits of red wine, but what about white wine drinkers? Get ready to celebrate! A scientist and a businessman from our area may have the solution to a healthier white wine. Plus, a local organization is making huge strides in helping the visually impaired after more than a century of service. And finally, a group of young kids who are literally running the show. See how the Arch City Theater Troupe is using their talents to help stamp out a childhood illness.

Words and Pictures
Winner of Education/Schools-News Story/Program Feature Segment. The St. Louis suburb of Wellston has taken a lot of hits. Many outsiders see it as depressed, dangerous and crime-ridden.

But about half-way through the project, they received devastating news about their school and their community - leading them to realize that if THEY didn't tell their story, no one would. This story was part of State of the Arts: December 2010.
