Memorial
Day 2009
While some may have been intimidated by the rain, it turned out to be perfect weather for a Memorial Day Ceremony. I remember many Memorial Days when it was so hot, going to the Memorial Ceremony meant risking sunburn. The O’Fallon veterans did another fine job of showing the community the fine art of remembering those who have paid the sacrifice for our freedom. Many commented afterwards that ours is the best ceremony in the area. When the O’Fallon Community Band performed

With the economy being so depressed, it makes it all the harder for me as a retailer to turn away customers who may want to shop on Memorial Day. Yet, the closure of my store was my statement of honor for those we are honoring. Remembering how we got here is part of our heritage as well as our hope we will not repeat the pain again. More pictures of the day…. For those of you who want to spend your summer
expanding your understanding of the world, you won’t find better bargains
on books than at the annual library used book sale. Some may wonder
why I am promoting other books, when I sell books myself. The answer
is that I just love books. Readers are leaders and those who read
are always more informed than those who don’t. The best gift we can
give to our communities is informed citizens who understand where we came
from and where we are headed.

Cynthia Davis Butt Heads: At
the State Capitol, a Different Set of Smoking Rules
Applies · By
Kristen
Hinman
Published on May 26, 2009 at
2:53pm from The Riverfront Times
When it comes to lighting up
in Missouri's
capitol building, nailing down the protocol is about as easy as pinning
down a cloud of smoke. Different legislators give varying interpretations
of the rules.
Here's the
skinny: Puffing is prohibited in all executive-branch-of-government
offices, including the governor's office, which shares some real estate
with members of the Missouri General
Assembly...who operate under a completely different set

for the Missouri House of
Representatives informs RFT that smoking is permitted in
members' offices and lounges, including one directly adjacent to the House
floor, as well as in a designated area of the Capitol's garage. Smoking is
not allowed in hallways or committee rooms or on the House

State
representative Jeanette
