Beautification Day Brings Back Community Spirit
Amy Huff
Feature Writer
At least 50 volunteers gathered for the first ever Beautification Day
held on Saturday, June 16th. Discover Olde Towne Fenton signs, courtesy of Pfitzinger Graphics, lined the streets to bring
attention to the event. Beginning early that
morning, people began arriving, buckets,
rakes and paint brushes in hand to make
Olde Towne Fenton shine. Once signed in,
they were provided with a t-shirt, compliments of UniQue Ideas ‘N More and
breakfast from Hardees before being
assigned to an area.
Volunteers of all ages joined forces, putting their knuckles to the grind washing, polishing and painting the Olde Towne Fenton.
The event was the first of its kind, organized
through the efforts of local business owners who are a
part of the Olde Towne Fenton Business Association. The
association meets monthly to discuss ways to bring patrons
to the area, beautify the city and bring
the community together.
Volunteers included area business
owners, representatives from the
Fenton Area Chamber of Commerce,
area families, members of the Fenton
Garden Club, representatives of Realty
Executives Premiere and over a dozen
U.S. Navy Servicemen, who were
recruited to join in Beautification Day.
Areas around Olde Towne Fenton were
addressed by pulling weeds, picking up trash, power washing and painting, among
many other exterior projects throughout the city in areas such as behind Brannan’s
Marine and around Sisters Tea House. Wallpaper Paint and More donated paint and supplies so that volunteers could paint the fence in front of the US Bank building and railing aside
the old Commerce Bank building. While some painted, others spruced up the sign welcoming people to the city.
A couple blocks down, a little water made a big difference outside the Metro Electric building, as well as Fenton
Flowers and Fenton Pawn Shop. The old Commerce Bank building, which is currently for sale, was made ready for
a new tenant—complete with a facelift to the entire exterior. Two trees were removed along with debris and a newly

polished fence.
Alderman Harold Bade drove around throughout
the duration of Beautification Day, ensuring that the
needs of the volunteers were attended to by providing cool refreshments, tools and other items while
they were there.
Following a four-hour cleaning frenzy, volunteers were invited back to Western Plaza,
where they were provided with hotdogs
donated by PNC Bank, chips from Old
Vienna as well as cold drinks, donated by Olde Towne Vet Hospital and
a number of others generous businesses. Viviano’s donated a delicious dessert of cookies and brownies to sweeten the moment.
This was just one of the ways Olde
Towne Fenton business owners could
combine their efforts in bringing the community together for one great cause. The success
of the first Beautification Day just goes to
show how many people love Olde Towne
Fenton and all who are represented within.
The community is full of many generous,
small businesses and caring families who
want nothing more than to see Olde
Towne Fenton be the best it can be.
Complete with a new logo and many
more plans for the future, the Olde Towne
Fenton Business Association is off to a great
start!
The Olde Towne Fenton
Business Association would like
to thank everyone who made the
event possible. Without the help
of the volunteers, support from
area business owners and the City
of Fenton, the event could not
have been such a big success.

ATTENTION Military Families and Supporters
Military Family Day at the Park scheduled for July 15th
Amy Huff
Feature Writer
When three unlikely organizations come
together for one common cause, the result may
just be nothing less than extraordinary.
Even though the event has yet to occur, I
have no doubt that it will be one of tears,
joy and pride like this area hasn’t seen in
quite some time.
Rick Waser (U.S. Army 1969-71), owner of
Springdale Park and Pool, in Fenton, called upon
two friends – Jeff Hof of The Land of Giants Truck
Club and Wendy Thomas of Jefferson County
Military Families Support Network (JCMFSN) – to collaborate
on an event to give back to the men and women of the United
States military. The coordinated effort of the three has brought
forth a multitude of supporters from across the region.
On Sunday, July 15, hundreds will gather for
the first-ever Military Family Day in the Park.
From 11:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., Springdale Park
and Pool will be transformed in tribute to those
who currently serve or have served our country.
Veterans and active duty military families
(immediate family) with a valid military ID are
invited to come out and enjoy a day designed
just for them, FREE of charge, including a delicious barbeque lunch. The event is
open to the public for only $7 (additional charge for food). All civilian senior citizens (62+) are welcomed at a 2 for 1 discounted entry.
Military mother, Lisa Mitchell, will open the event by singing our National Anthem. The duration of the
event, activities will be going on throughout the park, including demonstrations from the Jefferson County
Sheriff’s Department K-9 Unit, a horseshoe tournament, raffles and various children’s activities. Saline Valley
Fire District will bring out a fire truck and safe house. Rock Community Fire Protection District will bring an
ambulance and D.A.R.E. will show off their Corvette so that everyone to get a closer look at the great vehicles
serving our community.
Big Dawg, Bo Matthews from WIL 92.3FM Radio will bring out BoFoot from 12:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. to sit
aside the display of big trucks from The Land of Giants Truck Club.
FREE admission into the park and FREE registration for those who are
participating in the auto show, also occurring at the event. Cars will not
be divided into classes, however, trophies will be awarded for Military
Favorite so bring out your vehicles!
The Fallen Hero’s Dream Ride (www.fallenherosdreamride.org) that
debuted at Six Flags on Memorial Day, will be on display for all to see.
This 1951 Chevy pick-up is adorned with a Fallen Heroes theme in honor
of Marines from 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment who experienced the
loss of 25 men who were killed in action along with hundreds of casualties, including many amputees during their seven month deployment.

Area firefighters gather for second annual washer tournament
Mike Tralles • James Lewis
Amy Huff
Feature Writer
It all began last year as a fundraiser for the family of local firefighter, Captain Steve Grimes who battled leukemia for over a year.
Sadly, he lost his battle with cancer the day after the 2011 Show Me
FOOLS Washer Tournament that was held to help out a friend and fellow firefighter. Show Me FOOLS vowed to continue on with the benefit each year in his honor so as to always remember what he has given
to them. This year, hundreds gathered again to pay tribute to their
friend, mentor and brother for the second annual Show Me FOOLS
Washer Tournament on Thursday, June 14 at d.Dooley’s in Fenton.
Jerry Hughey, Tom Meyer, Jennifer
From 5:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m., firefighters, paramedics and friends
Grimes (widow of Steve), Randy
came from all around to raise funds for BackStoppers in memory of
Sammons, Rick Titter
Grimes.
Show Me FOOLS is a firefighter fraternal organization
that is non-political and tradition based. Their motto is
“Service Before Self” and that couldn’t be more true as it is
for the second year in a row.
According to firefighter Paul Seemayer, “The firefighting brotherhood is a very close group. We consider each
other, whether we know you or not, to be one of our family.” He explained their brotherhood by saying that when
they are in harm’s way, they rely on one another. By conRetired Captain Mike Williams, tinuing on with this tradition, originally started to help a
Retired Firefighter Dan Hillberry brother in need, area firefighters can show the community
and retired Division Chief Keith their commitment to their profession and each other by helpWeffelmeyer
ing this wonderful organization.
From the washer tournament, 50/50 drawings and raffles, a
total of $3,000 was raised to benefit BackStoppers.
“Firefighters are always there for the community 24/7, 365
days a year,” explained Seemayer. “It is very gratifying when
they come out to support our cause. We are truly humbled by
the show of support we have
from our community and they
should know we work very
hard at being ‘the best’ for
them.” He went on to say,
Steve Grimes’ “Buddy Bob” as
he is known, Tony Watson and
“We constantly train to be the
his wife
best paramedics and firefighters in the region and they
should expect nothing less.
We truly care about them and
have made it our life goal to
be the ‘Best Part of
Someone’s Worst Day’.”
Show Me Fools would
like to thank d.Dooley’s
for co-sponsoring the
event as well as everyone
who participated in the
tournament and came by
to support their cause.

Slice of Heaven Celebrates Two Year
Anniversary With Cake and ICE CREAM
Local bakery now serving hand-dipped ice cream
Free Estimates • Insured for your protection
Honest & Reliable

Feature Writer
What goes good with cake? Why ICE
CREAM does of course! From now on, you
can come to Fenton and enjoy a Slice of
Heaven with a scoop of ice cream! That’s
right, folks, Slice of Heaven Bakery, which
started as Catherine’s Confections specializing in 3D cakes years ago, is now celebrating
two years serving the community’s bakery
needs with the introduction of ice cream.
If you ask her where the idea came
from, owner Cathy Kidder will tell
you the truth is…it stemmed from her
one sweet spot—ice cream! She and
her family, who help run the business,
thought introducing the cold sweet
stuff would bring a fun, family activity element to their shop, which is
especially welcome during these
warm, summer months.
After much research, Slice of
Heaven has decided to utilize Cedar
Crest Ice Cream, out of Wisconsin.
Now you can come into your favorite
bakery and enjoy a hand-dipped creation of your liking. Choose from
eight delicious flavors, including the
favorite of today—Superman. Mix in treats like Oreos, Reese’s, M & M’s, Butterfinger, Heath, cookie
dough, gummy bears AND MORE! Top your sweet treat with chocolate and white chocolate chips, butterscotch, strawberry, caramel, and pineapple syrups, hot fudge and fruit to make a sundae as unique as your
taste may be. Whether you choose a bowl, waffle or sugar cone, the choice is all yours!
Not a fan of sundaes but still interested in that creamy ice cream treat? Why not sip on a shake or a float
made with none other than a local favorite, Fitz’s Root Beer, Grape and
Orange sodas.
In addition to adding the delicious new menu item, Slice of Heaven
will be extending their hours on Fridays and Saturdays to 9:00 p.m. as
well as adding some outdoor seating for all to enjoy.
Slice of Heaven Bakery is located at 2099 Bentley Plaza in Fenton (off
141 just south of I-44). For more information, call (636)825-7045 or
visit www.catherinesconfectionary.com, which will give you a full list of
items available at Slice of Heaven.
Stop by today and celebrate two-years of the best glazed croissants
around and home of the most delicious donut creations!

Local Artist Receives Prestigious Honors
for Photography
Amy Huff
Feature Writer
In the Fine Art category, Ferd received an
Honorable Mention for “The Path,” which is
shown here. View online by going to
http://www.thespiderawards.com/gallery/7th
/gallery.php?x=a&cid=107&g=w
Recently, Fenton resident
Robert “Ferd” Frank, was
honored in the Black &
White Spider Awards for
two of his black and white
photographs. The online exhibition is open to amateur and
professional photographers from all over the world. The
Black & White Spider Awards offers 14 categories including Fine Art, Photojournalism and Overall Photographer of
the Year, just to name a few.
According to their website (www.thespiderawards.com),
the exhibition is described as representing “the world’s
finest contemporary photographers as nominated by the
Jury.” With only a few hundred chosen from thousands of
submitted images, winning in any category is quite a prestigious honor to add to a photographer’s portfolio.
This is the 7th annual Winners Gallery for the Black &
White Spider Awards.
In his biography, Ferd describes his talents as self-taught,
having evolved since he first began in 2000 with photographs and painting. Although his earlier years were more
focused in the area of music, we are fortunate that he began
dabbling in other areas in order to explore his artistic talents
further. “My painting techniques were developed by painting on art cars and watching others paint,” he explained.
“My photography began with the introduction of the digital age. I became fascinated the use of Photoshop and various other programs for digital artwork. My obsession
with the camera came later, somewhere around 2005.”
Ferd feels fortunate to be surrounded by many talented
local artists which have been a great influence on
him.
In the Portrait portion of the Gallary, Ferd was honored with 3rd Place - Honor of Distinction – for
“Maddy” who he describes as “South-side character,
St. Louis Missouri”.

A Community Gathers to Walk for Children
Amy Huff
Feature Writer
The feeling was unexplainable as I arrived on the Northwest High School campus the morning of Saturday, June 16. Typically it is exciting to be a part of an
event that has brought out so many people but this particular morning was different. It was a bittersweet moment, seeing how many people came together in support of the First Annual Walking for Our Children; all the while knowing that each of these people has experienced a loss like no other.
Parents, friends and supporters gathered behind a sign that read “We Remember. Today - Tomorrow – Forever.” They stood aside one another, with one common goal – to walk for their children.
Regardless of the circumstances, all parents grieve the loss of their child. To be a part of something like this was extraordinary.
To be close to strangers, hold hands with friends and walk with others who knew exactly how you felt was quite a blessing. I can
honestly say that I haven’t had many moments that took my breathe away quite like this.
It was an honor knowing that so many in our community care and that support is available for parents through Chapel Hill’s Parent
Support Group.
Pastor Wayne Keunzle blessed the event before over 150 people set off for the one and a half-mile journey to Chapel Hill Memorial
Gardens.
As overwhelming as it might have been to begin that walk, what a relief they all must have felt, arriving at their destination at
Chapel Hill. Following the walk, members from the support group were asked to speak to the walkers, who were joined by at least
50 more guests at the ceremony. Then, balloons were released in memory of all children who have passed. The uniqueness of each child
was exhibited through the variety of musical genres [chosen by parents] playing in the background during the ceremony.
This is just the first of what will be many more walks in remembrance of our children. As others learn of the event and the support
available from the Chapel Hill Parent Support Group, it will grow larger each year. As the sign said it best, “We Remember. Today Tomorrow – Forever.” That is the focus of this event and everyone who came together to share their support.
Chapel Hill’s Parent Support Group meets at 7:00 p.m. the first Tuesday of each month at the Jefferson County
Library – Northwest Branch in High Ridge. The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, August 7.
On Facebook, the group is known as Parents of Chapel Hill Support Group. Though Chapel Hill hosts the Support
Group, all grieving parents are welcome, regardless of where the funeral services were held.
For more information, call (636) 274-4100.

In honor of Fenton’s 175th Anniversary, a large
group of people gathered together for a night at the
ballpark. Fenton Night at the Cardinals Game
was complete with a ceremonial first pitch thrown
by none other than Mayor Dennis Hancock.
Despite the Card’s loss to the Royals, Fenton supporters were still pumped with the opportunity to
join together at such a historic event to honor our
great city.
Special Thanks to Fenton Department of Parks
and Recreation for the great photos to commemorate the event.

Baby is really just a big ol’
baby. She may be 80 lbs, but
she is so sweet and gentle that
you hardly notice how big she
is. This girl spent almost all of
her 8 years in a nice home with
a loving family. Unfortunately,
when the economy tanked,
Baby’s family fell on hard times and was no longer able to
keep her. Since she has been with us, we realize how hard
it was for them to surrender her. She is very sweet and loves
affection. Baby plays, loves all people, gets along well with
other dogs, and even thinks cats are okay. She walks on a
leash well, that is very important for a lady her size.
Already out of the destructive puppy stage and housebroken, Baby will fit right in to any household. Are you looking to give a loving lady a second chance at a great home?
If you answered yes, please come and meet your new Baby.
Please contact Open Door Animal Sanctuary at

Circle Of Concern collecting Food Items
for Kid Bags This Summer
With more families – and more kids – getting help from Circle Of Concern’s food pantry, the Valley Park based
charity is seeking donations of ‘kid friendly’ food.
The food will be packed in special Kid Bags to be shared with struggling families with school age children
throughout June, July, and August. Last year Circle distributed more than 1,200 Kid Bags, and we hope to distribute 1,500 Kid Bags this summer.
“When students are home from school they do not have access to the reduced/free breakfast and lunch programs offered there.” explains Pantry Director Sada Lindsey. “Many families also spend a lot more in child care
during the summer. With our Kid Bags we try to lessen the strain on families already struggling to afford the food
they need.”
Circle needs the following food items to fill our Kid Bags:
• Canned Pasta (Spaghetti-Os, ravioli, etc)
• Breakfast Cereal
• Mac & Cheese
• Jelly & Peanut Butter
• 100% Fruit Juice Boxes
Donations can be brought to the pantry at 112 St. Louis Ave. weekdays until 3pm and Saturdays until noon.
Monetary gifts to support this program can be sent to P.O. Box 444, Valley Park, MO 63088.
For more information visit our website at www.circleofconcern.org or call us at (636)861-2623.
