f you are in the retirement mode, you may want to check out Mari de Villa before making a move. On this luxury estate-like campus you will find the very pinnacle of care and a luxury lifestyle. The community is all-inclusive, providing every alternative- from independent living in luxury villas to 24hour skilled nursing care. A home-like atmosphere is pervasive throughout the 25-acre Town & Country retirement community.

Retirees who choose the Villa Estates have a variety of personalized living options. With amenities that include the Villa Club, an indoor/outdoor swimming pool, and a variety of programs, seniors can experience an active lifestyle.

Residents can enjoy a number of years in their villa and when the time comes and they want more services

and care they can move to the assisted living or the skilled nursing on the same campus. “With a ‘continuum of care,’ guests find the services they need at every level,” says president Fred Wiesehan. “It’s very important that our staff gets to know our guests and vice-versa- it creates a very comfortable, happy environment where everyone feels at home.”

The assisted living and 24-hour skilled nursing residents enjoy private or double rooms. They are offered a host of programs to keep them happy and active- from book reviews, to art classses, to guest speakers.

Mari de Villa also offers physical, occupational and speech therapy along with rehab and restorative care.

There is also a memory care wing.

Visit maridevilla.com or call 636-227-5347 for more information on the surprisingly affordable rates and services. You are invited to schedule a private tour and lunch to get to know the owners, Fred and Mary Kay Wiesehan, who also live on site.

he City of St. Charles Parks and Recreation Department serves their residents and visitors with 23 parks that cover more than 800 acres. This September, they are inviting us to join in their 100year anniversary celebration.

The festival, held at Frontier Park, is called “Illumination” and will run from Friday, September 12th through the Monday, September 15 at Frontier Park in St. Charles.

The park will be ablaze with colored light decorations and glow light merchandise to bathe the area in the dazzling light.

Maralee M. Britton, Director of St. Charles Parks and Recreation recently sent out a statement to explain the significance and excitement the event promises: "The St. Charles Parks and Recreation Department is proud to be celebrating 100 years of service to the community.

Illumination is our way of thanking the community for being a part of our great heritage,” she said.

“We would not be where we are without the support of our residents going back to 100 years ago when they petitioned the City Council for the bond to purchase Blanchette Park. We look forward to continuing that amazing partnership for the next 100 years.”

Activities and Fun For All Ages It would seem that providing us with great parks would be a treat in itself, but the Illumination Festival is pulling out all the stops to make this a weekend befitting the history and pride of both the Parks Department and its relationship with residents and visitors.

Beginning Friday, Sept 12, the St. Charles Parks & Recreation Foundation will kick off the weekend with the ILLUMIRUN 5K at Frontier Park. The course will be lit; runners are encouraged to add to the effect with their own glow items. It begins at 7:30pm.

Pre-registration is required and can be accessed through the Foundation website at

and asked him some questions about his rock n roll connection to St. Louis.

Michael: John, please tell St. Louis how you got started in broadcasting?

John Ulett: I got started by attending Broadcast Center when I was 16 years old while still a junior in high school. I got my first job from an instructor at Broadcast Center who was going to be the Program Director of a new station going on the air in the fall of 1974 called KEZK.

Michael: What is your connection to St. Louis, in your words, with the people, the industry, and our city?

John Ulett: I feel my main connection to St. Louis and the audience I try to serve everyday is the fact that I'm born and raised here and the listener knows where my heart lies

L-R: John Ulett, David Grafman, Ted Nugent, Shelley Grafman, pioneer of KSHE, and kneeling is Michael Grafman in 1983.

“I feel my main connection to St. Louis and the audience I try to serve everyday is the fact that I'm born and raised here and the listener knows where my heart lies in the scope of everything I do.”

- John Ulett in the scope of everything I do. Since I started on the air here when I was 17 years old, I've grown up on the air in my hometown and I'm very proud of that.

Michael: What is your most memorable broadcasting experience in St. Louis?

John Ulett: My most memorable broadcast experience is still evolving and that's my long run at KSHE Radio. My 38th

year as a full time on air person was May 25th.

Sometimes I wonder how and when it will conclude but one things for sure, it's been an unbelievable run.

Another great experience has been doing player introductions on national television for 6 Cardinals World Series teams as their Public Address announcer.

Michael: Who was most instrumental, in St. Louis, in building your career?

John Ulett: I point to several people who helped me along the way. Bill Gebhardt who started and

owned Broadcast Center and Dave Ralston who gave me my first pro job at KEZK. Ron Stevens and Shelley Grafman who hired me at KSHE in 1975. Rick Balis, John Beck and National Program Director for Emmis Broadcasting Rick Cummings who have been great supporters of mine for all of the years I've been at KSHE under their leadership. And finally Jeff Smulyan the CEO of Emmis Broadcasting which has owned KSHE since 1984. All these guys saw something they liked in me. I'll never know what that was but I'll always be grateful to them.
