SUMMARY: Of course! Please provide the content you’d like me to summarize.

Just north of downtown St. Louis sits JP Bushnell Packing Supply Co. The unassuming exterior houses one of the largest hose, belt, pump, and sheet packing distributors in the Midwest. It’s a small company with some big accounts.

“We have Ameren. We have Anheuser Busch. We have the City of St. Louis. We do have some accounts that are not in the United States. We ship all around the world,” Gina Bardol said.

Bardol handles the company’s accounting. What she can’t account for lately is when their mail arrives.

“It started once and a while with one check or two checks just coming a couple weeks late. Then all the sudden we started noticing some bills were not coming. They were coming past the due date. We’re getting checks four months after they’ve been mailed. That’s just not acceptable,” she said.

In early August, Gina contacted the postal service with her concerns. In it, a USPS representative told her the business’s main mail carrier said they should have no problem receiving mail, adding he assumed the issues may happen on days he’s not working or on vacation.

SUMMARY: Wentzville’s Board of Aldermen voted 4-2 to allow utility terrain vehicles (UTVs) and recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) on city streets under conditions similar to golf cart rules. Use would be limited to subdivisions with speed limits of 25 mph or less, requiring valid licenses, insurance, and safety features. However, Mayor Nick Guccione vetoed the ordinance, citing safety and enforcement concerns, supported by residents and officials. The Board may override the veto on September 24. Supporters emphasize personal responsibility, while opponents worry about public safety. Enforcement challenges exist, especially regarding underage drivers. Missouri law permits municipalities to regulate such vehicles locally.
