Brain Injury Association Visits Sunnyhill 

Adventures for Second Year 

Sunnyhill was proud to welcome friends from the Brain Injury Association of 

Missouri back to camp for the second year in a row. 

Close to 70 survivors of brain injury attended the week-long camp, 20% of which 

were first time attendees. 

Although the favorite activity was still zip lining across the lake, Maureen 

Cunningham, Executive Director of BIA-MO, noticed that a number of individuals 

tried to conquer the Alpine Tower this year. Those that didn't make it 

all the way to the top made it a little further than they did last year, she 

said. 

For survivors of brain injury, attending camp is a step out of 

their routine and an opportunity to try new things, spend time 

with other individuals who know what they're going through and quite literally, reach new 

heights. 

"Camp allows survivors of brain injury a fun week of independence," said Cunningham. "It 

also gives families and caregivers a week of respite whether it's for a vacation or simply alone 

time for parents." 

Susan and her husband took on the 24/7 task as caregivers for their son in 2012.

“We have not had any time 

alone together since 

Michael’s injury,” she 

explained. “We are so 

grateful that we could have 

him go to camp with his 

best friend, Marcus, who is 

wonderful.” 

The week at camp gave the couple 

time to do things that they wouldn’t 

have been able to do otherwise 

such as a getaway to the Ozarks to 

visit family and enjoy time on the 

lake. Susan even had the chance 

to photograph a lot of wildlife 

while on the trip.

Sauces at Grand Slam are a Big Hit 

Anytime I talk to somebody about Grand Slam Sports Bar in 

Fenton, it seems like I always hear the same thing. The first 

comment is almost always “They have really good food.” 

From the beginning, Grand Slam owner Ed Pupillo has 

focused on the quality of the food they serve. Ed knows that to 

have a successful sports bar in today’s day and age, you have 

to have good food. But this ability to consistently serve great 

food that customers rave over didn’t happen overnight. 

Ed Pupillo has been in the food business for a long time. He 

started working in the family grocery store in the 1960s. He gained vital experience in the produce and meat 

departments while working there. In 1979, Ed first gained experience in fine dining when his family opened a 

restaurant on the Landing in downtown St. Louis. This was his first experience working with chefs, learning 

how to make and prepare seasonings and sauces from scratch. 

Then Ed worked for several years with Marriott Corporation, working with fine dining restaurants and food 

service at St. Louis Lambert Airport. 

In the 1990s, Ed started doing bar-be-que, and in 1995 opened a bar-be-que restaurant in Imperial. This is 

where Ed first developed the seasoning that he uses today. This seasoning was originally used as bar-be-que 

rub, but over time has evolved to be used on steaks, fish, French fries and vegetables. It was at this time that 

Ed developed a lot of the sauces that he uses today. 

Then in 2007, the Fenton area was fortunate enough to have the opening of Grand 

Slam Sports Bar. Because of Ed’s attention to detail and focus on customer service, the 

restaurant has been very successful. Over the years, Ed has kept developing his own 

seasoning blends and sauces. Due to customer’s requests to purchase these items the 

decision was made to start bottling them for sale. 

To show you the success of these sauces and dressings, just ask Ed’s daughter 

Patrice. Patrice’s boyfriend Andy has a sister in Chicago that is a chef. She likes these 

well enough that she buys them and has them shipped to Chicago. 

The most popular item is the Grand Slam Special Seasoning. When I asked what was 

in it, he said that if he told me he would have to kill me. It’s hard to get a chef to give 

up their recipes. This seasoning is good on steaks and burgers and chicken. It is also

good on potatoes and vegetables. It seems to give a different 

taste with different foods. This is available in a 6 ounce bottle. 

The salad dressings are all made from scratch. The most 

popular is the sweet Italian Vinaigrette, also available in a 

light, reduced sugar mix. This is the dressing used on the 

world famous Pupillo salad on the menu. They also offer a 

Caesar, Honey Mustard and, of course, Ranch. These are all 

available in a 16 ounce bottle. 

Grand Slam Sports Bar is known for its plump, juicy 

wings. But this is in no small part because of their 

sauces. All of the wing sauces are also made from 

scratch. The wing sauces are offered in Hot, Mild, 

Garlic Parmesan and Catalina Gold, which is a mustard 

type sauce. These are all offered in a 16 ounce 

bottle. 

The Grand Slam Bar-Be-Que sauces are a culmination 

of 25 years of development. The bar-be-que 

sauces are offered in Original flavor, Spicy Hot & 

Honey, Tangy Mustard BBQ and Smoked Hickory 

Bacon. These all are offered in a 16 ounce bottle. 

All of these products are now available for purchase at 

Grand Slam Sports Bar. You can call ahead and place your 

order, and they will bottle it fresh for you. Take your next 

meal to a new level and try one of these sauces or dressings 

soon. 

Grand Slam Sports Bar is located at 519 Mae Court, at 

Highway 30 and Valley Dell in Fenton. They can be

Defensor Tactical Host 

Second Annual Patriot Day 

Defensor Tactical will be hosting their 2nd. Annual Patriot Day on Saturday, June 18th from 11 a.m 

to 5 p.m. Patriot Day is a day to celebrate, connect, and come together as a community for disabled veterans. 

“There are many veterans groups involved in Patriot Day such as the VFW, AmVets, and the 

Disabled American Veterans just to name a few but what it all boils down to is we are all doing the same 

mission and that’s why we invited these organizations,” said owner Joel Fields. “We are supporting these 

organizations and in the process we are all part of the fight.” On average 22 Veterans commit suicide a 

day, over 65,000 homeless veterans walk our streets, and less than 30% of disabled veterans who were 

wounded in combat get disability or help. Patriot day will combine service organizations, military, veterans, 

and the general public together as a way to bring awareness as well as celebrate and thank our 

wounded warriors. There will be activities for all ages, free food, drinks, giveaways, vendors, and displays. 

Stop by and show your support for those who gave all! Defensor Tactical is located at 30 

Meramec Station Rd. in Valley Park. For more information call 636-825-3773. Find them on fb at

North Jefferson County Ambulance District 

Breaks Ground On House #2 

The North Jefferson County Ambulance District in High Ridge held a ground 

breaking ceremony at the location of their new House #2 located at 1130 Gravois Rd. 

in Fenton. The event was at 3pm on June 7th, 2016. This is near the intersection of 

Valley Dell and Highway 30. 

This is the second EMS house for North Jefferson County Ambulance District. 

House #1 is located at 2820 Hornell Lane, off of High Ridge Boulevard. This facility 

will be approximately 5600 square feet. The facility will be staffed fulltime with an 

advanced life support ambulance and have capabilities to house a secondary 

advanced life support ambulance and personnel to ensure staffing in inclement 

weather, disaster situations and for years to come. Completion of this project 

is scheduled for February of 2017. 

The estimated cost associated with building this facility is approximately 

$2 million dollars, which will be paid from the district’s general operating 

budget. 

North Jefferson County Ambulance District is pleased to be able to 

enhance emergency medical services to our community with the erection 

of this second location. They have worked hard for several years planning 

and working towards achieving the goal at hand. 

North Jefferson County Ambulance District would like to again express 

our gratitude to our community for your support in making this possible. 

With your vote of 1136 yes in the April 2014 elections securing a half-cent 

sales tax the goal to enhancement emergency medical services has been 

achieved. 

Further North Jefferson County Ambulance District is excited to 

announce along with these enhancements we will be rolling back the general 

tax rate for the district as promised. 

For more information please contact North Jefferson County Ambulance 

District at 636-677-3399 ext. 72.


Black bear sighted in Franklin Co., 

MDC urges “Don’t feed bears” 

This black bear was photographed by a landowner Tuesday morning, 

June 7 in Lonedell, Franklin County. MDC urges residents not 

to feed bears, and secure any possible food sources like trash cans 

and pet food out of their reach. 

A black bear has been reported and 

photographed the past few days near 

Robertsville and Lonedell. 

Robertsville, Mo.—The Missouri 

Department of Conservation (MDC) 

reports that a black bear has been spotted 

in Franklin County near the towns of 

Robertsville and Lonedell. 

According to MDC Wildlife Damage 

Biologist Tom Meister, MDC received a 

number of phone calls over the past weekend 

and Monday from residents in both 

towns reporting black bear sightings, 

along with some cell phone photos. The 

two towns are approximately eight miles 

apart with Robertsville along I-44 and 

Lonedell on Hwy. 30 to the south. 

A photograph submitted by a Lonedell 

landowner taken the morning of June 7 

shows the bear rooting through a garbage can. 

“Bears are a part of the natural history of our state. 

They are awesome animals to see and have around,” 

Meister said. “We just don’t want them to have interactions 

with people.” 

Black bears are not typically aggressive and usually 

do not pose a threat to humans. However, MDC 

urges area residents not to feed bears and recommends 

the following actions to help prevent possible 

problems: 

• Don’t leave pet food sitting outside. Feed pets a 

portion they’ll eat at each meal and remove the empty 

containers. 

• Store garbage, recyclables, and compost inside a 

secure building or in a bear-proof container until the 

day of trash pick-up. 

• Keep grills and smokers clean and store them 

inside. 

“When people are leaving food out purposely, or 

even unintentionally, it draws bears into their property 

and they can become habituated to people,” said 

Meister. He also said that situation can lead to trouble 

and quite possibly the need to euthanize of the bear. 

Meister said should a bear become a nuisance, the first course of action would be to use harassment techniques, 

such as ……. “Hopefully, that will be enough to get him to be on his way,” he said. 

MDC asks residents to report any bear sightings to MDC staff by going online to http://short.mdc.mo.gov/ZZZ.

Fallen Soldiers Honored by Memorial Day 

Celebration at Fenton Park 

By: Lauren Bishop 

Contributing Writer 

Veterans, prisoners of war, service 

men and women missing in action, and 

those currently serving the United 

States were all honored at the Memorial 

Day ceremony at Fenton Park on May 

30. 

A Memorial Day celebration has 

taken place in Fenton for a little over a 

decade, and has occurred in the Heroes 

Memorial since it has been dedicated in 

2005. 

At the Memorial Day celebration, the 

Vietnam Veterans of America 1028 

posted the colors, the Pledge of 

Allegiance was led by Boy Scout Troop 

778, and the National Anthem was sung 

by Summit alumna Marie Kellerman. 

Guest speakers included Tom Ilges, veteran 

and director of Focus Marines 

Foundation, and Paul Clever, veteran 

and director of Maximum Recovery in 

Southeast Asia. The event also included 

a Prisoner of War/Missing in Action ceremony, 

Laying of the Wreaths, three 

Volleys and Taps. 

Mayor Mike Polizzi was the Master 

of the Ceremony and introduced each 

speaker and aspect of the event. Polizzi 

says that the remembrance ceremonies 

of veterans and fallen soldiers shows the 

patriotism that this country has and 

needs to hold on to. 

“[This event is] to love this country, to 

love its flag, to love its rules and the 

Constitution. To be part of America you 

have to love your country. People went 

and fought and gave their all and gave 

Fenton Mayor Mike Polizzi addresses the crowd to introduce various 

speakers and traditions of the Memorial Day ceremony. 

Tom Brophy speaks during the Prisoner of War/ Missing in Action 

ceremony by addressing the table set for one and the meanings of 

the adornments. 

Boy Scout Troop 778 lay wreaths in honor of fallen soldiers.

us the freedom that we have,” Polizzi said. 

As one of the speakers at the ceremony, Paul Clever spoke of his father, whom had been lost in a crash in 

Laos during the Vietnam War, and how Clever and his wife has searched the jungle and recovered and repatriated 

his remains. Clever says Fenton goes above and beyond in honor of servicemen and women in the community. 

“This area is a nucleus of pro-military people. The rest of the country isn’t generally like this. People really 

care here and it’s another step in the culture that is this area. This [event] is perpetuating the good thing that’s 

already here,” Clever said.


Memorial Day Mass 

St. Patrick’s “Old Rock Church” 

Archbishop Robert J. Carlson and Sam Baudo 

On Memorial Day May 30, Archbishop, Robert J. 

Carlson of St. Louis Archdiocese celebrated mass at 

St. Patrick’s “Old Rock Church”. He greeted everyone 

on this blessed memorial weekend as a way to 

remember and keep alive memories of family and 

friends, while our service members receive eternal 

life, through their sacrifice by standing in harms way. 

Msgr. George Hildner, Assembly Knights of 

Columbus Honor Guard presented the colors in dramatic 

fashion with their colorful dress uniforms. 

Organist and Music Director, Connie Flinn opened 

the program with the patriotic song America following 

with Now Thank We All Our God and We Are 

the Light of the World. The service ended with 

America the Beautiful. God Shed His Grace On 

Thee, And Crown Thy Good With Brother Hood From Sea 

To Shining Sea. 

St. Patrick’s in Catawissa, known as the “Old Rock 

Church” was built in 1853.The first few feet of stone were 

placed by “dry mortar” without the aid of adhesive material. 

After the Civil War the second stage was completed with traditional 

“wet mortar”. All of the stones consisted of Missouri 

limestone or sandstone quarried by hand near the church. On 

April 1, 1885 all of the woodwork was damaged by fire leaving 

only the rock walls standing. Through perseverance and 

with Gods help the farmers survived failure of their wheat 

crops, rebuilt the 

church and reopened 

Easter Sunday, 1886, 

with everything paid 

for. The first Church in 

1844 was a log structure 

for the pioneers in the 

Meramec Valley area. 

Remember to attend St. 

Patrick’s Picnic on 

Sunday, August 21 to help 

the Preservation Society 

raise funds to further preserve 

the Church for future 

generations.

Our 10th Annual 

Parade to the Park! 

A big “THANK YOU” to all who participated in the 10 th Annual Parade to the 

Park on Saturday, May 28th! The House Springs American Legion Post #783 

posted the Colors, Richard Wiedemann (Veteran of the Korean War) sang the 

National Anthem, Cub Pack #553 of House Springs led us in the Pledge of 

Allegiance, and the NWAA Middle School & Elementary School Cheer Squads 

could be heard all along the parade route! 

Veterans of the Vietnam Era were in attendance and honored, and we were proud 

to have two WWII. Veterans in attendance – Mel Bloom and Cletus Harness. 

The Vietnam Era was a terrible time for our Veterans. Here are two of those 

Veterans, in their own words, sharing thoughts that seem to capture the unique and 

painful experience of the Vietnam Era: 

Navy Machinist Doug Woolford, “The soldiers serving “in country” with boots 

on the ground, had it much worse than I did.” 

Air Force Technical Sergeant & Corporal Medic, Hank Blamy, “I’m not a 

hero. I’m a survivor. I took care of heroes. It was a privilege.” 

Chapel Hill would love to hear your suggestions for events that could celebrate 

and remember Veterans in our community. Call Kayla at (636) 274-4100. 

Wines of Summer Comes to Old Town Eureka 

There has been an incredible turnaround of Old Town 

Eureka in the last few years. Old Town Eureka has been transformed

have been a key to this turn around. 

Michelle’s has brought people to Old Town 

Eureka by offering a great dining experience. 

The Eureka Wine House offers the community a 

place to gather and socialize while enjoying 

some great wine and beer. Now these two businesses 

are ready to take it to a new level. 

On Saturday, June 18th at 4 p.m., Michelle’s American Bistro and Eureka 

Wine House present the Wines of Summer 2016. This will be a music, art, 

food and wine festival. The event will premiere some great artists. Vesna 

Delveska will be creating a painting that evening. There will be some great 

food choices geared towards the summer. The Eureka Wine House has done 

their research and will present some wines picked from Bommarito Wines, Glazers, Terra Firma and Trade Mark Wines. 

The highlight of the evening, however, will be the music of world-renowned guitarist Farshid Etniko Soltanshahi. 

Michelle’s owner Curt Newsome first met Farshid when he performed at Curt’s former wine bar in the Central West 

End. 

Farshid Etniko is known for creating “world music”, by bringing together influences from four different continents. 

Born in Iran and educated in Paris before coming to St. Louis, that worldly background has provided a variety of experiences 

and influences to inspire his music. 

His music has been called Latin Jazz with a Persian touch. It is original, intriguing and entertaining. Normally playing 

at venues like Sheldon Concert Hall, to bring this quality of musician to Eureka is quite a treat. 

Mark your calendar for the Wines of Summer 2016 Festival, brought to you by Michelle’s American Bistro and 

Eureka Wine House. The event will be held at the Wine House at 107 South Central in Old Town Eureka on Saturday, 

June 18th at 4 p.m. Tickets are $35 in advance or $40 at the door. You can purchase tickets at either business. If you 

are an artist wanting information on a booth, please contact Curt Newsome at 314-574-5400 or Lynn Lavelle at 636- 

938-5411.

Jefferson College PACE Series Concludes with 

Summer Musical “Company” 

June 17-19 and June 24-25 

As the final event in the Jefferson College 2015-16 PACE (Performing Arts and Cultural Enrichment) series, a 

14-member cast of students, community members and staff is rehearsing for the summer musical production of 

“Company” directed by Communication and Theatre Professor Dr. Rebecca Ellison. 

According to legendary award-winning composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim, “Company” is a show that focuses 

on “The challenge of maintaining relationships in an increasingly depersonalized society.” It is a show without a 

plot, but with a central theme. It is considered by many to be the most wise and insightful examination of marriage 

and relationships that has ever been portrayed on stage. Infused with humor and arguably the best collection of songs 

ever written for the theatre, “Company” opened in 1970 and changed the face of musical theatre forever. 

On the night of his 35th birthday, the central character, Robert, struggles to think of a wish to make as he blows 

out his birthday candles. As a bachelor, surrounded by his married friends, he is uncertain whether he should simply 

be happy with his life or whether he should wish for his own romantic partner. Over a series of dinner parties, first 

dates, and conversations, Robert attempts to understand the pros and cons of marriage from his diverse and frequently 

hilarious friends and begins to make sense of his persistent bachelorhood. 

Cast members include Dalton Mathis of Cedar Hill as “Robert,” Breanna Meyer of St. Louis as “Sarah,” Chris 

Owens of Arnold as “Harry,” Emilie Heitmann of Festus as “Susan,” Brandon Menke of High Ridge as “Peter,” 

Whitney Wolcott of Barnhart as “Jenny,” Ben Cotter of Pevely as “David,” Jill Holtzmann of Arnold as “Amy,” 

John Wehner of High Ridge as “Paul,” Teresa Schwartz of St. Louis as “JoAnne,” Kirk Jackson of Crystal City as 

“Larry,” Jenna Null of Cedar Hill as “Marta,” Ashley Clayton of High Ridge as “Kathy,” and Ellen Robben of St. 

Charles as “April.” Jefferson College adjunct music instructors Keith Boyer and Mark Trautwein are leading the 

production respectively as choral director and music director. 

Performances are scheduled for Friday-Saturday, June 17-18, at 8 p.m., Sunday, June 19, at 2 p.m., and Friday- 

Saturday, June 24-25, at 8 p.m., in the Fine Arts Theatre on the Hillsboro campus. The show contains adult language 

and situations. 

Individual event tickets to the Sunday matinee are $2 for everyone. On Fridays and Saturdays, ticket prices are 

$5 for adults and $2 for students and senior citizens. 

Advance tickets may be purchased by calling Dr. Rebecca Ellison at (636) 481-3367 or by emailing rellison@jeffco.edu 

with date of performance, type and amount of ticket(s) to reserve. Reserved tickets need to be picked up at 

least 15 minutes prior to show time or they will be sold to other patrons. Tickets will also be sold at the door depending 

on availability.

Pacific Celebrates Jensen Point 

Pacific River Walk Trail, Ozark Trail Association and 

Great Rivers Greenway team up for an information 

booth. 

And they said it couldn’t be done. On Sunday, May 30th at 2 p.m. the City of Pacific held a Grand Re-Opening and Dedication of 

Jensen Point. This was almost exactly 77 years from the original grand opening, held on Monday, May 30th, 1939. 

To refresh your memory, here is a brief history of Jensen Point: 

Jensen Point was a project of the Henry Shaw Gardenway Association in 1939. It was constructed by Co. 1770 Civilian Conservation 

Corps under the supervision of the National Parks Service. It is named after Lars Peter Jensen, the first president of the Gardenway 

Association. This landmark has been an important part of Pacific’s Route 66 heritage. 

In 1991, Wayne Winchester purchased the property next to his office at 1043 E. Osage. He didn’t want Jensen Point, but the seller told 

him he was getting it whether he wanted it or not. He quickly fell in love with it. Over the years he developed a passion for Jensen Point. 

Previous to his ownership, Jensen Point had been abused and neglected. Without Wayne’s perseverance, Jensen Point would have surely 

disappeared. It is safe to say Wayne Winchester saved Jensen Point. 

In 2015, after months of asking by Pacific Alderman Steve Myers, Wayne agreed to sell Jensen Point 

to the City of Pacific. Through Steve’s tireless efforts and the help 

of Great Rivers Greenway, Pacific received a grant from St. Louis 

County Municipal Parks Grant Commission for the purchase and 

restoration of Jensen Point. Now a Pacific city park, this landmark 

will now be preserved for the benefit of future generations. 

The ceremony started with the presentation of colors by Boy 

Scout Troop 329. Then came a moving rendition of our National 

Anthem by Jerry Holloway, soon to open a bar-b-que restaurant 

in Pacific. Then came an opening prayer by Pastor Joe Sullivan of 

the New Beginnings Lutheran Church. He gave us biblical exam- 

Steve Flannery did the 

introductions.

National Anthem. 

Boy Scout Troop 329 served hot dogs and 

drinks donated by Smith Foods.

Pacific Alderman Steve 

Myers gave a challenge to 

everyone not to just give 

your opinion of what should 

happen at Jensen Point, but 

to get involved. 

Then Jim Brasfield of the 

St. Louis County Municipal 

Park Grant Commission 

told how the grant came 

about and what they do, and the importance of parks. 

Former Jensen Point owner for 25 years, Wayne 

Winchester, gave a speech on what it means to him. 

He also told a couple humorous stories about Jensen 

Point. He was contacted by a man wanting to do a 

photo shoot at Jensen Point for a Route 66 calendar. 

He didn’t see a problem with it until he was told the 

women would be nude! He also had a lady tell him her 

first child was conceived on Jensen Point. Wayne has 

a passion for Jensen Point, and you could tell he is 

very excited about this landmark being preserved for 

future generations. 

After the ceremony, everyone gathered at the top of 

Jensen Point for photos and the ribbon cutting. The 

gazebo was beautiful with the flowers 

donated by Harry Engelhart of Engelhart 

Farm. 

Congratulations to the City of 

Pacific on their new park. Thank 

you to everyone that gave money, 

materials, hundreds of hours of 

volunteer labor and support to 

make the acquisition and restoration 

of Jensen Point possible.

Destination America And Usa Today Announce Grand Prize Winner 

Of The Fourth Annual “Red, White And You” Contest 

– Eureka, Mo., Wins National Competition to Receive Memorable Fourth of July Celebration – 

(Silver Spring, Md.) – USA TODAY and Destination America today announce the winner of the fourth annual RED, WHITE AND YOU contest, which awards a deserving community a 

spectacular Fourth of July celebration. And the winner is… Eureka, Mo., a town outside St. Louis still recovering from historic flooding that submerged the downtown business district on December 

29, 2015. Residents banded together to help their neighbors and local small businesses bounce back, and over Fourth of July weekend will celebrate the resilient community that still stands “Eureka 

Strong!” The nationwide contest, which launched in February, gathered submissions from Americans across the country nominating their hometowns and telling us why they deserve an over-thetop 

patriotic party. 

“Reading Eureka’s moving contest submission was truly a eureka moment for us when we learned how residents came to each other’s aid like one big family to rebuild their beloved town,” said 

Jane Latman, general manager of Destination America. “RED, WHITE AND YOU is all about timeless American tradition, celebrating the qualities that make each hometown unique, and creating 

life-long memories with family and neighbors – all things that Eureka embraces now more than ever, making it truly deserving of the grand prize celebration.” 

“We’ve been inspired by the commitment of this community to persevere and honored to celebrate Eureka Strong!” 

said Susan Motiff, VP, General Manager of USA TODAY. 

Mayor Kevin Coffey shared, “Recent challenges have brought to the forefront the strength and character of our wonderful 

community and families. Eureka truly represents the pride and principles of the American Spirit. We are honored 

to be chosen as this year’s winner.” 

The RED, WHITE AND YOU contest received a record-breaking 6,400 entries from Americans nationwide sharing 

moving stories of why their towns deserve an all-American celebration. The grand prize-winning entry comes from 

Tony Colona, who nominated his town of Eureka, Mo., in the wake of historic flooding that swept the city as a result 

of heavy rainfall four days after Christmas 2015. With thousands of residents and small businesses displaced, plans 

for the town’s New Year’s Eve celebration were put on hold so that the community could immediately begin the arduous 

process of cleaning, rebuilding, and getting business owners back on their feet. As Eureka’s website put it, “They 

took a chance on their dream and opened a pub, an art studio, a clothing boutique in our 

town… and we recommitted our support to them. This was a defining moment for Eureka 

and we will come back even better and stronger.” 

Below is the actual submission for the grand prize winning town: 

Nominated by Tony Colona 

In December, 2015, our small suburban town of Eureka, Missouri suffered historic flooding. 

Most of our downtown area, along with some subdivisions had close to 6 feet or more of 

standing water. Our town rallied together to weather the storm, with many pitching in to 

sandbag or move people in danger, but much of our historic downtown area is still closed 

for repairs. A Fourth of July celebration, along with some media attention showing Eureka 

residents' resolve and optimism would do much to lift the spirits of many who have had a 

very difficult start to 2016. Our motto is "Eureka Strong", and you can see these signs on 

many of the businesses downtown that still are closed. Thank you for your consideration. 

Past RED, WHITE AND YOU contests delivered Fourth of July celebrations to: 

• Waveland, Miss., the community considered ground zero of Hurricane Katrina celebrated 

10 years of recovery efforts with the town’s first July 4 fireworks in a decade 

• Oroville, Calif., a Gold Rush town recently impacted by drought and economic challenges 

that restored its tradition of fireworks at the nearby Oroville Dam, the leading 

water source for the entire state of California 

• Prescott, Ariz., a town recovering from the devastating wildfires that tragically claimed 

the lives of 19 brave firefighters 

• Hamtramck, Mich., a city that has been hit by hard times but, in true American spirit, is 

working to make a comeback 

• Union Beach, N.J., a coastal town recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Sandy 

• Fayetteville, N.C., a community that enthusiastically supports its military partners at Fort 

Bragg.

TIPS 

By: Chuck Maher 

Realty Executives Premiere 

Not Just For 1st Time Home Buyer’s 

United States Department Of Agriculture (USDA) offer loans for home purchases. Financing the purchase 

of a home is as hard as it has ever been. Banks continue to tighten their lending standards and increase 

down payment requirements. However the United States Department of Agriculture is still lending money to 

buyers in rural areas. 

A guaranteed USDA home loan is designed for home buyers 

“ Not Just First Time Buyers” who lack the down payment and credit standards to qualify for a traditional 

conventional mortgage. This type of financing allows the buyer to receive a 100% of the appraised value of 

the home, allowing the buyer to include the cost of the home, along with all applicable closing costs and any 

inspection fees. A buyer can truly buy the home for no money out of their pocket. 

Qualification for this loan is much more relaxed than what you see in other mortgage products. The home 

must be in the designated USDA area. 

In Jefferson County this means if you are traveling West on Highway 44 the property needs to be West of 

Highway OO. If you are on Highway 30 the property needs to be West of Gravois Rd, and out Highway 21 

the home needs to Southwest of Four Ridge Rd. 

For the buyer their maximum household income for a family of four cannot exceed $78,550 and $103,700 

for a family of five or more people. The credit score requirements are significantly lower than other types of 

financing. 

Missouri ranked 6 th in the Nation on the number of guaranteed loans, and 7 th in the Nation in amount of 

dollars loaned in the Fiscal year of 2010. For more information go to USDA Loans.com or contact Nick 

Maddock at Cornerstone Mortgage at 314-303-4622

Give Your Children the 

Gift of (Financial) Knowledge 

Submitted by Matt Thomason, Edward Jones Financial Advisor 

It’s almost Father’s Day. If you’re a dad with young children, you can expect some nice homemade 

cards and maybe even a baseball cap. But, of course, your greatest reward is spending time 

with your kids and watching them grow. In return, you can give them a gift – the gift of knowledge. 

Specifically, in the months and years ahead, teach them the financial skills that can help make their 

lives easier and more rewarding. For starters, encourage your children to become savers. You can 

do this in a couple of different ways. First, set a good example. You might explain to your kids that 

you want to buy a certain item, but you are waiting for it to go on sale. Or, if it’s a particularly bigticket 

item, like an ultra high-definition television, tell your children that you simply can’t afford 

it now, but that you are putting away some money each week until you can. You might even make a chart showing 

your progress. Another way to help your children become better savers is to provide them with a monetary incentive. 

To illustrate: For every dollar they put into a “piggy bank” or an actual savings account, tell them you’ll put in, say, 

50 cents. They are likely to be pleased and excited by how much faster their money grows with your contribution, and 

they may well become more motivated to save. Furthermore, you’ll be giving them a valuable lesson for later on in 

life, when they work for a business that offers to match their contributions to a 401(k) or other retirement plan. 

Unfortunately, many young people, upon taking on their first “career” jobs, either under-contribute to their retirement 

plans or ignore them completely – thereby making it more likely that, later on in their working lives, they will have 

to come up with much bigger sums each year to accumulate enough resources for a comfortable retirement. Learning 

to save is certainly important – but children should also learn about investing. To help get your children interested in 

becoming investors, point out that they can actually own shares of companies with which they are already familiar – 

the companies that make the games they play, the movies they watch and the food they eat. In fact, you could even 

simulate the investment process by letting them choose a stock and then follow it. To make the results more tangible, 

use “play” money to represent an initial investment, and add or subtract to the pile to track the ups and downs of the 

real stock. You might even explain some of the reasons for the stock’s movements; for example, if you and your child 

are following the stock of an entertainment company, and that company produces a blockbuster movie that leads to 

sequels, spinoffs and merchandise tie-ins, you can point out how these developments have pushed up the company’s 

stock price. You might also explain that while these short-term price movements are interesting – and maybe even fun 

– to follow, investing is actually a long-term endeavor, and the best investors often hold stocks for many years before 

selling them. By following these suggestions, you can help your children acquire good financial habits – and seeing 

them put these skills to good use can provide you with many happy Father’s Days in the future.

Grief Support Groups 

If you or someone you know is experiencing 

difficulty working through the 

grieving process, here are some specific 

ways that many folks benefit from grief 

support groups. 

Healing: Talking about loss is a 

medicine that heals. Our support groups 

offer a facilitator, Dianne Lowerre, whose 

role is that of a helper, offering suggestions 

and encouragement. 

Friendship: Grieving individuals 

establish a bond with others who have 

experienced the same kind of loss. A 

lively fellowship of kindred spirits will be 

formed. Consider this experience from a 

man whose 17-year old son died in an 

accident. “After our son died, several of 

our friends found it uncomfortable to be 

with us. Somehow, our son’s death 

altered our friendships. In our support 

group, we were able to make new friends 

who understood us and our loss. They 

weren’t afraid to be with us.” 

Community: Grief is a lonely, isolating 

experience. Most folks feel distanced 

from the real world and set apart from 

others by labels such as “widow and widower.” 

In a group, people feel connected 

to others, accepted and understood. 

Leadership: As people participate in a 

group, they may recognize a need to provide 

help, support and advice to others. 

Assisting new members gives them confidence, 

strength and purpose. 

If you have questions about our groups, 

grief materials or need to talk to someone, 

call (636) 274-4100. We invite you 

to come to our groups. Just come as you 

are. Come and share, or just sit and listen 

if you prefer. When do you stop coming? 

Whenever you want.
