E-Newsletter - March 16, 2007 The Columbia Fire Department helped the Mehlville Fire Department in their search this morning for a 55-year-old woman who jumped from the east bound lanes on the Missouri side of the J.B. Bridge. Columbia ended their search at 10 a.m., but Missouri rescue crews continue the recovery effort. A name has not been released. There were no injuries in a two-vehicle fender bender at 7:30 a.m. today at the intersection of South Market and Route 156 in Waterloo. A Dodge Durango collided with a Chevy Impala. The Waterloo Fire Department responded to a grease fire at 9:30 a.m. in the kitchen of Dairy Queen. “There was no major structural damage, but the store is closed presently,” said Waterloo Assistant Fire Chief Jim Dietz. The WFD also responded to a report of a minor electrical fire at 11 a.m. at the large department store on the north end of town.

It is located just southeast of Waterloo’s historic Bellefountaine House.  The Valmeyer High School junior class is putting the final touches on their class play, “Headin’ For the Hills.” The play runs March 23 and March 24 at 7:30 p.m. The boil order continues for the Fountain Water District customers affected by the March 14 drop in water pressure. The incident affected only a select group of customers, not the entire system, reports Patricia Garleb, Fountain Water District’s secretary and treasurer. Those affected should have already been contacted. When the boil order is lifted, residents will be contacted by phone.
