Circle Of Concern scrambling for food, school supplies
With more families than ever before visiting Circle Of Concern for help, the Valley Park-based charity, which serves families in the Parkway, Rockwood and Valley Park School District areas, is struggling to find needed food, school supplies and other resources.
In early August, Circle Of Concern will share school supplies with more than 700 students. So far, school supply collections are off to a very slow start.

Showdown in the Show-me State
Earlier this year, President Barack Obama pushed through Congress a health care deal that places many of the nation's medical services in the hands of the federal government. That occurred despite the fact that, according to polls, the majority of American voters do not support such measures.
On Aug. 3, voters in Missouri will be the first in the nation to have the ability to tell the government exactly how they feel about some of the most controversial portions of the current brand of health care reform law, thanks to Proposition C, the Missouri Health Care Freedom Act.

RESTAURANT REVIEWS
Building a better sandwich and smoking a superior plate of "Q" has been the focus of Lester's Sports Bar & Grill since its 2008 opening. It is a menu combination unique to sports bars and one that has set Lester's apart from other sports bars.
"We've been known to call ourselves a deli-q," said Lester's General Manager Stephen Blevins, who explained how two diverse menu themes were combined. "Slow-smoked meats have always been a focus for us, along with our oversized, overstuffed corned beef and pastrami sandwiches and classic deli-style foods. They're the food our owner, Lester Miller, enjoyed growing up in New York."
Craig Uttendorf and Michelle Jones have been working together since 1985, and the partnership seems to work for them.
The co-owners of Gingham's Homestyle Restaurant on Manchester Road in Ellisville both started working at Perkins Restaurant at age 16. Uttendorf started as a cook - though he says he never had cooked a day in his life - and Jones was a waitress. They stayed with the company until the local franchise owner went out of business.
