Rolla is in shock as word of the death of Army PFC Richard Lewis McNulty III spreads through the community.
Shaun McNulty confirmed the death of his brother Sunday evening. According to Shaun, Richard was on patrol in Afghanistan Saturday when an improvised explosive device exploded, killing the soldier. There is no information about the condition of the other soldiers with McNulty.
A Rolla High School graduate and soccer star, Richard McNulty was married in February 2010. He was deployed in December and due to come home in three weeks. His wife, Hannah, is due to give birth to their first child — a daughter, Ella — at the end of June.
Around 500 people took part in this year’s annual Sip ‘n Savor event hosted by the St. James Chamber of Commerce Saturday in downtown St. James.
“We were a little down this year from last year,” said Chamber Director Jennie Miller. “Last year, we had around 700 people at Sip ‘n Savor, but we are still very pleased with the turnout. There was just so much else going on all at once this weekend.”
Miller said it was great to see so many people patronize local businesses. For Sip ‘n Savor, nine area wineries and 10 breweries were paired with St. James Chamber member businesses throughout the community.
As of May 1, the City of St. James officially paid $475,000 and owned the future location of St. James City Hall.
This location, 100 S. Jefferson in St. James, is the former home of Ellis Health Centre, owned by Dr. John Ellis.
Ellis’ practice will move to 1100 N. Outer Road, which is the former home of Dr. John James’ medical clinic, as well as Archer Engineering. Ellis said he should be open at his new location as of Thursday.
As for when St. James City Hall will move from its current location on Bourbeuse Street to its future location (which is actually also the former home of Phelps County Bank) the move could start fairly soon as well.

With hundreds of thousands of dollars potentially available, the St. James Police Department may soon get a new fleet of cars.
“We’re exploring our options right now, but this is something the department really needs,” said City Administrator Jeff Davis at Monday’s St. James City Council meeting. “With the changes with our renovation plans, the police department was presented with an opportunity to readdress some of its needs.
The reason why the police department may have $350,000 dates back to when the city was still considering opening the St. James Justice Center.
