On the cusp of a 100-year anniversary, Reiniger Jewelers attributes their longevity to great customer service, third-generation craftsmanship and quality.

“Pray for Rain”

amily owned and operated since 1918, the first store opened in East St. Louis by Paul Reiniger’s grandfather, who was eventually joined by his son Gene (Paul’s father). The store remained open for all those years before officially closing in the late ‘60s when Paul’s father moved the business into the family home with nine kids!

Pray For Rain

Interestingly, of the nine kids, current owner Paul Reiniger and his sister, Barbara, are the only two of the siblings who stayed in the family business though Barbara eventually decided to pursue another career path. “And all of us have careers where we use our hands to work,” he said. “Growing up, dad had the showcase upstairs and his bench downstairs. Our house was the central place of the neighborhood where everyone's kids came to play and adults came to visit.”

Purchase your wedding set from Reiniger Jewelers and receive your engagement ring for FREE (up to $5,000) if it rains on your Wedding Day within a six-hour time frame! Call or visit the store for details!

When it was time for his father to retire, Paul Reiniger happily decided to carry on the family business. He attended and graduated from Gem City College in Quincy, Ill., and has earned certificates from the Gemological Institutes of America. He completed work for other stores in the area such as JC Penney’s and others in and around St. Clair Square. Work became more and more abundant, and in 1992 he opened his own storefront in the Swansea Schnucks Plaza before moving across the street where he is today. “In 2003, we decided to expand our company to our second location in Waterloo to better serve the entire Monroe County and surrounding area,” he said.

on your Wedding Day and Win

And Win!

Offering a full-service facility at the Swansea location, the Bridal business is certainly a prime target for the store. Reiniger Jewelers offers all the myriad wedding lines plus he can custom design, adapt and adjust whatever the couple desires. One would be hard pressed to find an industry or profession that has not been drastically changed for the better by technology and the jewelry business is no exception. “There are a few things at Reiniger's that are still done the same as ever, but technology has made so many things so much more accessible,” said Reiniger. “We have evolved over these almost 100 years and changed with the times.”

Now a jeweler can use lasers to weld even the tiniest of parts making repairs to any piece of jewelry possible. Custom designs are easier to create from a sketch by using a CAD program to create the actual model – literally your own imagination is the limit to what Reiniger's can provide the customer. Customers will also find same-day service for jewelry repair including any watch repair needs such as band adjustments and battery replacement. Gift giving is made easy with all kinds of personalized items such as clocks, picture frames, and glassware to name just a few of the items that can be engraved with a special message for any occasion. Don’t forget that Reiniger Jewelers has complimentary gift-wrapping with every purchase – one-stop shop! Visit Reiniger at 2704 N. Illinois Street in Swansea, (618) 235-1219; or 911 N. Illinois Route 3 in Waterloo, (618) 939-4367; www.reinigerjewelers.com.

Dreaming Of A Romantic Destination Wedding Or Honeymoon?

estination weddings have become increasingly popular in the last 10 years as couples find plenty of wonderful advantages to combining the wedding and the honeymoon into an all-encompassing, dreamy week. To meet the demands of these weddings away from home, Julia Crunk, owner of Ambassador Travel, has become an expert on travel and accommodation details for the couple and their guests, making the process stress-free. In addition, since the costs of a traditional wedding have risen considerably, the destination wedding has become a more economical choice for couples interested in sharing their day with a few select guests. Imagine saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;I doâ&#x20AC;? on a white-sand beach with a handful of your closest friends looking on. If a destination wedding sounds like your kind of paradise, Ambassador is the place to start.

In fact, check out her list of expertise: Certified Sandals Specialist, AM Resorts (Secrets, Now, Dreams and Breathless) Master Agent, Riu Resort Specialist, Karisma Resort Gourmet Inclusive Honeymoon Specialist ( El Dorado Royale, El Dorado Casita, El Dorado Maroma, El Dorado Seaside Suites, as well as the Azul resorts, Iberostar Grand Specialist and a Disney Ear Marked Agency. She also wins awards every year for outstanding sales with Apple and Funjet Vacations.

Honeymoon Registry

Open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. as well as evening hours by appointment, Crunk will sit with the couple in the quiet of her office and discuss different ideas. There is also a no-fee payment plan so payments can be made when convenient until the balance needs to be paid. Discounts are given as well for destination wedding friends/families (minimum five rooms, 10 guests) who want to travel with the bride and groom to celebrate the wedding. With a wide variety of destination resorts available, combined with over 45 years of experience, Crunk knows the resorts personally that offer free or discounted weddings, and the rules and regulations necessary for the perfect event.

Of course, the destination and honeymoon is always the first plans to make when getting married and with that comes the fun of registering at various businesses for gift giving. Think how fantastic it would be register the honeymoon? Once honeymoon plans are finalized, Ambassador Travel offers an opportunity to register the honeymoon where friends and family can purchase honeymoon certificates as their gift! These certificates can be used by the honeymooners for tours, non-stop romantic dinners on the beach, or just to help pay on the balance. Please call (618) 234-1046, and visit www.4ambassadortravel.com, to discover the perfect destination wedding and/or honeymoon.

Tired of stubborn fat? Get ready for swimsuit season! S

ummer is here and many of us are looking forward to swimsuit days. It’s a great time of the year, but it’s also the time you start to notice those extra pounds from winter. You exercise, eat healthy and work hard to lose those stubborn fat pockets, but sometimes, it just persists.

What can be done? What is the best option for me? There are many ways to remove excess fat. The key to finding the best solution for your needs is to determine the amount of fat we need to remove. We really have to customize your solution based on the amount of excess adipose tissue (or fat) that needs removed. Greater fat loss: For someone who has a large amount of fat and greater areas of concern, the best option is diet and exercise. There still is no magic method for losing those pounds and whatever method works for you, as long as it’s a healthy choice, is the right option. Moderate remaining adipose tissue: For those who have a moderate amount of extra adipose (or fatty tissue), nothing beats liposuction. To this day, it’s the most effective treatment for the permanent removal of fat from various areas of the body. Just problem areas: Do you have stubborn fat in a certain area such as the neck, love handles, muffin top, flank or thighs? Have you tried diet and exercise, and you just can’t get those stubborn areas to look the way you would like? You may be a great candidate for the new truSculpt™ machine! For years there were no great options for thinner patients who just had a few problematic areas to address. Fortunately, in the last few years, new options have been created such as truSculpt™. truSculpt™: truSculpt™ is an FDA approved device for reducing fat and the appearance of cellulite. The system works by gently heating the adipose tissue to 45 degrees Celsius. Studies have shown that heating fat to 45 degrees Celsius for three minutes will kill fat cells. The treatment hand piece is small so it can treat even the smallest of problem areas such as neck, inner thighs, love handles, muffin tops, abdomen, and many other unwanted areas. Treatment: truSculpt™ is a non-surgical technique. Treatments create a warm sensation on the skin that is easily tolerated. Following the procedure, most patients are back to full activities within 30 minutes and often don’t notice any ill effects. Treatments typically last 30-90 minutes with no downtime! How do I know what’s right for me? Schedule an appointment at MidAmerica Plastic Surgery, (618) 288-7855, www.midAmericaPlasticSurgery.com. A board certified plastic surgeon has the training and experience to give you the guidance you need to accomplish your goals.

Green Earth

Grocery Is Celebrating 35 Years

In Edwardsville

35th Anniversary Sale! July 6 – All Day! 30% Off Supplements First 200 Customers Will Receive A Gift Bag • Storewide Demos • Food Samples • Raffles

elebrating their 35th anniversary in Edwardsville, Green Earth health food and supplement store is proud to say they are a true family owned and operated business. All five of owner Thad Buckey’s children have worked at the store at one time or another over the years, and now two granddaughters have joined them, and there are several long-time staff members as well. “If you treat your staff right and pay them nicely, they stay!” said Buckey with a smile. All of the staff members are long-time health food specialists who really know and understand the products available, and can help eliminate feelings of doubt when choosing a product – even for pets! “Really, that’s what we are all about – we want people to purchase products that are good for them,” Buckey said. “So many supplements and vitamins aren’t even tested, but we only offer those that are controlled.” For example, sports nutrition customers will find brands like Vega Sport, Jarrow and EAS – “only the best!” Another example of Green Earth’s high standards is their beauty products and cosmetics that are “clean, green lines,” he continued. “Our bodies absorb much of what we put on it and in it including chemicals, animal hormones and antibiotics. These outside influences can contribute to all kinds of health problems and most people don’t even know it.” New coolers around the perimeter of the store are stocked with local meats, eggs and honey. In fact, they can barely keep the eggs in stock. Plus loyal customers, who come all of Southern Illinois, find organic produce, bulk grains, granola, beans, trail mix, bulk

herbs and spices, and gluten-free foods, household cleaning supplies, Great Harvest Bread and more. Green Earth even carries dog and cat food, and supplies. A recent addition is Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist Heather M. Hudzik L.Ac., MSTOM, who has an extensive four year post-graduate degree in Chinese Medicine from the Pacific College of oriental Medicine in Chicago. Her treatments can lend solutions to allergies, hormonal imbalances, infertility, chronic and acute pain, digestive disorders and much more. Call Hudzik at (618) 975-5829; www.hudzikacupuncture.com. Another option for customers seeking good health and well-being is to make an appointment with Maurine Sampson, Usui - Tibetan Reiki Master, who offers massage therapy and Reiki healing. Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Call Sampson at (618) 463-0461. Don't miss the deli serving an almost entirely vegetarian menu with the exception of turkey and tuna sandwiches. Made from scratch weekly, there are hot and cold sandwiches, salads, juices and smoothies, and a special menu just for kids. Every first business Monday of the month is super discount Monday. Green Earth gives every customer 20% off regularly priced supplements plus there are representatives from some of these product lines in the store to answer questions. Please stop by and say congratulations to Buckey and his family for a wonderful 35 years! Open from 8 a.m. to 8 pm. seven days a week, they are located at 441 A S. Buchanan in Edwardsville, (618) 656-3375, www.greenearthgrocer.com.

The Top 5 Reasons Your Child Needs an Eye Exam impede learning can be corrected – once they are detected,” shared Dr. Thomas Unger, an optometrist with an office in Troy.

Please take a moment to review the signs that indicate vision may be playing a role in your child’s difficulties: • headaches when reading • slow or incomplete copy work from board or paper • avoidance of reading • poor reading comprehension • frequent loss of place while reading • complains words move on the page • short attention span • smart in everything but school • labeled ADD, ADHD, dyslexic • working below potential

ummer is finally here. As your family calendar becomes full of summer events and you start to schedule those Back to School appointments for your child’s upcoming school year, are you sure you haven’t forgotten something important? What about your child’s eyes? Vision problems can affect more than just seeing the board or reading a book. Research has shown that vision problems can: 1. interfere with academic performance 2. slow down overall development 3. cause a short attention span 4. make reading difficult 5. result in lowered self-esteem

Any one of the above symptoms is a sign that you need to schedule a vision exam with a developmental optometrist. Please take the time to learn more about the vital role vision plays in your child’s academic performance, it could make all the difference. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call Dr. Unger's office at (618) 667-2020.

From STRUGGLING...To SUCCESS! 1 out of 4 children struggle with reading and learning because of undiagnosed vision problems.

Does Your Child... • Dislike reading? • Skip or reread lines? • Prefer to be read to? • Lose place when reading? • Have trouble remembering what has been read? • Have difficulty paying attention? ADD/ADHD? • Make numbers/letter reversals? • Have reading /homework take longer than it should?

It’s usually pretty easy to tell when your child has difficulty seeing things in the distance (such as the board in school), but most parents don’t know what to look for to determine when a child has difficulty seeing the words in a book. There are so many potential explanations for why a child struggles with reading that parents often lose sight of the obvious. Many parents mistakenly assume that the vision screenings are the same as a complete eye examination, and incorrectly assume that their child’s vision is fine when they pass the screening. According to the American Optometric Association, approximately one out of four children struggle with reading and learning because of undiagnosed vision problems; and three out of five children with learning disabilities have undiagnosed vision problems. “Whether your child is a bright underachiever, struggles with reading or has developmental delays, the good news is the majority of vision problems that

ELIMINATE DOUBT! If your child has any of the above symptoms, he or she may have a 100% correctable vision-based learning

problem. Children who once struggled go from failure to success when these vision problems are treated. Call us today to schedule a

ailing from Baltimore, Edward Jones Financial Advisor Charles Richards graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 2002 with a bachelor’s of science in political science. His service as a nuclear submarine officer included deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and eventually to St. Louis in 2006 as part of his “regular rotation.” Currently in the Navy Reserves, he continued his education at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville where he graduated with his master’s of business administration in 2010.

The company attributes a great deal of their success to their principles and personal, long-term approach to investing. Edward Jones was named one of the best companies to work for by FORTUNE magazine for the 16th year in its annual listing.

Residing today in Shiloh with his wife, Kaila, and two daughters, he found a perfect fit with Edward Jones where his prior military experience and education is utilized to help investors find tailored solutions to reach their financial goals. Richards is committed to assisting his clients in many ways including the preparation for and enjoyment of retirement, saving for their kids’ education, saving money on taxes and simply preparing for the unexpected events of life.

Crosspoint Church Offers Programs For All Ages

rosspoint Church, a thriving multi-generational church, meets at Central Elementary School in O’Fallon on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Crosspoint is a non-denominational church offering a passionate, life-giving environment where people of all races, ages and backgrounds are welcome. O'Fallon, Illinois is the second campus for Crosspoint Church with the first campus located in South St. Louis County. “We are one church with multiple locations,” said Pastor David Verret, who is the O'Fallon campus pastor. “Our worship services contain passionate, meaningful congregational singing and practical teaching from the Bible. We have trained, capable staff that provide incredible service to babies and children at each meeting so that people of every age can experience God and get to know Him better.” Three of four Sundays, the O’Fallon location has live services with the message from Crosspoint Lead Pastor Shawn Craig brought in via streaming video from the South County campus. Pastor Shawn Craig is well-known as the long-time member of the Contemporary Christian Music group Phillips, Craig & Dean. A prolific songwriter, he has had many of his songs recorded and has received multiple Dove awards, including the 1994 Song of the Year “In Christ Alone.” He is also author of a daily devotional book entitled “Between Sundays.” Verret, who launched the O'Fallon campus with his team in September of 2014, speaks on campus one Sunday per month. “Crosspoint members follow Jesus Christ for God's glory and everything we do reflects that mission,” Verret

said. “In addition to our worship services, we focus on the needs of the community by supporting civic activities, feeding the hungry, helping underprivileged children and assisting families with their commitment to one another. Everyone is welcome and we hope our congregation reflects the beautiful diversity of our region.” The church offers many programs and classes for all ages including children, students, couples and more. Sunday Night Life Groups are an exciting way for people to meet others at the church. Meeting mostly in homes, but sometimes coffee shops or offices across the area, Sunday Night Life (SNL) provides a relaxing environment for people to engage in meaningful relationships by "doing life together." Attend Crosspoint at Central Elementary, 309 Hartman Lane in O’Fallon. Please call (314) 892-5051 or visit www.thecrosspoint.com for more information.

he third annual Sips & Tastes @ 618 is a weekend-long celebration of the diverse foods, beverages and entertainers in this region. Previously known as Taste of Southern Illinois, the new name better reflects what the festival is all about, according to Paul Seibert, Straight Up Magazine Publisher and member of the sponsoring association.

truly a “one-of-a-kind” act. The duo delivers a powerful show leaving their audiences wondering how two performers can deliver such a full, high-quality sound. Get ready for classics from The Byrds; Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young; Jackson Browne; Loggins and Messina; POCO; Firefall and others. Taking the stage at 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. on Saturday is everyone’s favorite The SMASH Band.

The organizers also covered the tastes of craft beer lovers with 4204 Main Street Brewing Company and wine will be available as well. “The event is sponsored by the St. Clair County Licensed Beverage Association to support the hospitality industry,” Seibert said. “It’s actually a fund raiser for the organization that supports and raises awareness of the bars and restaurants on this side of the river.” This is also a family-friendly weekend with a fantastic play area in the perimeter of the festival area; plenty of food and beverages will be available for even the youngest of fair goers. Probably the most fun is the entertainment for the weekend!
