Fenton's River Road lives up to its name as flood water closed it Monday. Ballfields and driving range were underwater on Sunset Hills' West Watson Road.
"We got pretty lucky, it's just a typical spring flood," said Fenton City Administrator Mark Sartors as the rising waters of the Meramec River forced closure of the River Road (Larkin Williams Road) Monday. In Sunset Hills, flood waters caused the closure of Minnie Ha Ha Park, as well as West Watson Road where the ball fields and the Sunset Hills Driving Range were underwater.

Fenton city officials agreed to close the bridge for a couple of hours Thanksgiving morning at the request of Sunset Hills, to accommodate a 5k race.

The waiting game came to and end last summer as the new Old Gravois Road bridge opened and then was dedicated a week later at a festive city-wide celebration of Fenton's 175th birthday. It had been five years since the old bridge had been deemed unsafe by a St. Louis County inspection team. The new bridge opened in August, bringing an end to the community headache of detouring around the closed span. That's why it was startling to see a sign posted at the bridge this week that…

Dr. Craig Hollander aims to teach that cavity prevention is key in children.
There is indeed a tooth fairy. But, he doesn’t put money under little ones’ pillows when they lose a tooth—he’s in the business of keeping teeth healthy.

For the first eight years he performed restorative dentistry on children visiting the clinic. He now screens children age 4 or under for dental disease and educates their parents on cavity prevention while overseeing the Tiny Smiles area of the clinic. GKAS hosts free comprehensive dental clinics for underserved children every February and October. Over the past decade, GKAS has provided 10,000 local children with $4.2 million in services with …
