Janet Evans, 35, and her two kids, Charlotte, 6 and Harrison, 2, come to downtown Fenton at least once a week to visit the ducks, walk to the library and grab a gelato from CRUST.

When school was out for the summer, Charlotte showed her kindergarten report card to Fenton’s Open Book and earned a free book. “Maybe we’ll come back for the concert in the park,” Evans said. “We like to visit local restaurants, too.”

LOOKINGBACK

at this week in

NATIONAL HISTORY

JULY 81951: Paris, the capital city of France, celebrates turning 2,000 years old. In fact, a few more candles would’ve technically been required on the birthday cake, as the City of Lights was most likely founded around 250 B.C. The history of Pariscan can be traced back to a Gallic tribe known as the Parisii, who sometime around 250 B.C. settled an island (known today as Ile de la Cite) in the Seine River, which runs through present-day Paris.

JULY 91996: Dr. Lin Russell, her two daughters, Josie and Megan, and their dog, Lucy, are all brutally attacked by a man wielding a hammer on their way home to Nonington Village, Kent, England, after a swimming gala. Forcing them to sit down in the woods, the attacker blindfolded and tied up his victims with their torn towels, and then bludgeoned them one by one. Nine-year-old Josie, the sole survivor of the vicious assault, had to relearn to speak after surgeons inserted a metal plate into her head to cover the area where her skull had been smashed. Some of her brain tissue was so damaged that it had to be removed. On Oct. 23, 1998, 38-year-old Michael Stone was convicted and given a triple life sentence, despite his repeated claims of innocence.

JULY 101925: In Dayton, Tennessee, the so-called “Monkey Trial” begins with John Thomas Scopes, a young high school science teacher, accused of teaching evolution in violation of a Tennessee state law. The law, which had been passed in March, made it a misdemeanor punishable by fine to “teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals.” Clarence Darrow agreed to join the ACLU in the defense, and the stage was set for one of the most famous trials in U.S. history.

JULY 112010: After a two-year manhunt, 19-year-old Colton Harris-Moore of Washington state is arrested following a high-speed boat chase in the Bahamas. Harris-Moore was suspected of stealing an airplane in Indiana and crash-landing it in the Bahamas the week before. Nicknamed the “Barefoot Bandit” for going shoeless during some of his alleged crimes, the teen was a suspect in scores of other burglaries in the United States and Canada, where he was accused of swiping everything from potato chips to credit cards, small planes, boats and cars. During his time as a fugitive, Harris-Moore gained a cult-like following online, with fans viewing him as a folk hero and praising his brazenness and his uncanny ability to elude law-enforcement officials.

JULY 121984: Walter Mondale, the leading Democratic presidential candidate, announces that he has chosen Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York as his running mate. Ferraro, a daughter of Italian immigrants, had previously gained notoriety as a vocal advocate of women’s rights in Congress.

JULY 13 1985: At Wembley Stadium in London, Prince Charles and Princess Diana officially open Live Aid, a worldwide rock concert organized to raise money for the relief of famine-stricken Africans. Continued at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia and at other arenas around the world, the 16-hour “superconcert” was globally linked by satellite to more than a billion viewers in 110 nations. In a triumph of technology and good will, the event raised more than $125 million in famine relief for Africa.

JULY 141966: Eight student nurses are brutally murdered by Richard Speck at their group residence in Chicago, Illinois. Speck threatened the women with both a gun and a knife, tying each of them up while robbing their townhouse. Over the next several hours, Speck stabbed and strangled each of the young women throughout various rooms of the place. One young woman, Corazon Amurao, managed to escape with her life by hiding under a bed. Speck had lost count of his victims.

Volunteerism is alive and well

People in Fenton complain about a lot of things — the roads, the traffic, not enough of this, too much of that — it’s never-ending.

What we can’t complain about, how-ever, is the volunteerism in this town. It is amazing how many people will come out and do whatever needs doing with-out being paid.

That might not sound unusual to you, but where I grew up, the only volunteers I can remember hearing about were the “Candy Stripers” at the hospital. That doesn’t mean there weren’t volunteers elsewhere, I just never heard of them.

I learned differently living in the city of Fenton. Take the Fourth of July parade on Wednesday, for example. Driving down

Owen Road on my way to work Thurs-day morning, I couldn’t help but notice how clean everything was. You would never know that less than 24 hours before there were thousands of spectators lin-ing both sides of the road for more than a mile.

I was so impressed, I emailed Fenton City Council-man Scott Grossmeyer, who as a member of the Fenton Free-dom Festival Committee is in charge of the annual parade, to let him know what a great job he and his volunteers did.

He wrote back and said, “First, thank you for notic-ing. I think you know how much goes into putting on the events that are so important to our town. I think that everyone involved does it because we love Fenton and get tremendous pleasure when we see

smiles and hear laughter. There is noth-ing like pure joy from a child to light up a day. “As for the cleanup, we picked up a lot yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon,” Grossmeyer said. “This morning (Thurs-

day) we had a lot of help cleaning up trash at both Sil-ver Parkway and downtown. … “As you know, we couldn’t pull this off without help from the DPW workers, police and fire departments,” he said. “Berkshire Hathaway lines the entire 1.9-mile parade route with flags and comes on the 5th and picks them up. This morning joining our

committee were Lee Mitchell from the Chamber along with Mark Suchowski and George Kraloski with a group of Key Club/NHS students including the new queen Jamie Elrod, and Jason Mckay with a group of young adults from The

Freedom Center. “The cleanup started between 5 and

5:30 Thursday morning so that when everyone leaves for work the town looks good.”

Grossmeyer said that’s the whole idea. There are thousands of volunteers who do other things in the city, like those who make the annual St. John Applefest a huge success. My husband and I have personal-ly volunteered with this group in past years and believe me, it takes literally thousands to pull off this four-day festival.

It would be impossible to acknowl-edge all of the activities, projects and events are that successful because of the many volunteers in our midst. And it’s not just in Fenton, there are equally as many volunteers doing great works in neighboring Holly and Linden, and the surrounding communities.

So let’s stop complaining for a bit and thank all of the volunteers who help make our lives just a little nicer every day.

Plastic bagsPlastic bags will be out. What we use for a short time takes hundreds of years to decom-pose. They are a symbol of our destructive habits as it relates to the environment. In recent years, there has been a shift toward re-usable bags.

FENTONContinued from Page 1Bto enjoy strolling around the downtown area, leisurely walking among the many restaurants and shops that now anchor this business district.

Fenton has become a full-service retail com-munity, with mom-and-pop independent stores drawing many shoppers to their boutique style of business. Y et the convenience of having many national chain stores in town has kept the Fenton economy thriving as a whole.

Walmart, Target, The Home Depot and Trac-tor Supply Co. have been retail staples in Fenton for a long time, and newcomers TJ Maxx, Petco and Five Below are working toward occupy-ing the vacant Kmart building on Silver Parkway in 2019.

Local independent retailers like Eclec-tions/Nick & Crew , T aylor Hardware,

TRI-COUNTY TIMES | SALLY RUMMEL

Janet Evans and her two kids, Charlotte, 6, and Harrison, 2, come to downtown Fenton regularly to enjoy the ambiance of the area, as well as the shops and restaurants.

Bridge Street Exchange, Sawyer Jewelers and Billmeier Camera, to name a few , have definitely found their niche among loyal shoppers.

“Business has certainly picked up,” said Elizabeth Dickens, who has owned The Iron Grate in Dibbleville for 38 years. “Even more out-of-towners come in now with more restaurants and boutique retail. There’s also be en an upgra de i n quality merchandising.”

It’s not only the down-town that has become a destination; it’s also new shopping a nd d ining opportunities on Owen Road, Silver Parkway and in the North LeRoy Business District. Residents can see new buildings, businesses, shops and restaurants popping up in the city at a record pace.

Restaurants are probably the most talked-about destinations in Fenton, drawing on the popularity of long-standing eateries like Fenton Hotel Tavern & Grille, Fenton House, The Laundry, Johnnie’s Pizzeria and more.

Downtown Fenton will be the site of the anticipated Ciao Italian Restaurant & Pub, opening soon near Marjie’ s Gluten-free Pantry on LeRoy Street.

But diners also flock to new eateries, too, Goki-Goki Korean Barbecue on LeRoy Street, Habiba Middle Eastern Grill in Lake W inds Plaza and Pita Way on Silver Parkway, and Vibe Well, a smoothie and juice bar , on Fenway Drive in the Eclections plaza.

Ethnic restaurants continue to draw

diners, fr om M exican specialties at El Topo on Mill Street to Cancun Mexican Restaurant & Cantina on LeRoy . Asian restaurants including the upscale Sagano Japanese Bistro, Golden Buf fet, both on LeRoy, and Mediterranean eateries like La

Marsa on Silver Parkway are busy, too. The number of res -taurants continue to increase as residents eagerly await the open-ing of The Meeting Place in the former Bob Evans on Owen Road, Starbucks and possibly a Jersey Mike’s Subs at Owen Shoppes, now un-

der construction, but that’s not verified, said Fenton’s Building and Zoning Ad-ministrator Mike Reilly. However, Pizza Hut has pulled its plans to re-build a store in this shopping development, he added.

Most recently, it has been announced that Andiamo’s Fenton will occupy the first floor of the new Horizon Building.

While some visitors see parking issues and road angst, others see opportunities for shopping, dining and relaxation that have never existed before in Fenton as they do today.

Special events, like sculpture walks, concerts in the park, farmers markets, Back to the Bricks T une-up Party , Taste in Fenton are other reasons that people come into Fenton, looking for something specia l to do wit h their families.

“It’s so nice to see people walking around town, sitting o n b enches a nd enjoying ice cream,” Dickens said.

n Fenton has become a destination for people who are looking for big-town amenities like national chain stores and small-town charm through the doors of small, indepen-dently owned retailers.

‘‘ Even more out-of-towners come in now with more restaurants and

boutique retail.’’Elizabeth DickensThe Iron Grate owner

Pets love to roam free, and homeowners with outdoor space often let their pets get some exercise and play time in their back-yards. While it’s important for pets like dogs and even some cats to get some time outdoors, pet owners should recognize the potential threats to pet health looming in their lawns and gardens.• Mulch: According to the Pet Poison Helpline, mulch made from cocoa beans can pose a threat to pets. This type of mulch is made of discarded hulls or shells of the cocoa bean. These by-products of choc-olate production conta in vary ing concentrations of the toxins theobro-mine and caffeine. When ingested in h igh concent ra-tions, these toxins can cause vomit-ing, diarrhea, hyperactivity, abnormal heart rhythm, seizures, and, in some instances, death. The amount of these toxins present in a given batch of this type of mulch may not be readily known, so homeowners should avoid applying it.• Slug and snail baits: The PPH notes that the active ingredient in slug and snail baits is metaldehyde, which is highly poisonous to cats and dogs. Symptoms of distress, including restlessness, vomiting, seizures, and high body temperature, can appear as soon as one hour after these baits are ingested. The baits are typically available in pellet, granular, powder, and liquid form, but each should be avoided by

Potential threats to pets in your yardpet owners who allow their pets to play in their yards. • Compost: Compost is a great and natural way to enrich soil. But compost piles should be cordoned off so curious pets cannot access them. As the organic mat-

ter within compost piles decomposes, mold can begin to grow. If ingested by pets, moldy materi-als inside compost piles can make pets sick in as little as 30 minutes. Pets who have ingested moldy compost may appear agitated, pant, drool, or vomit, and some may even suffer from tremors or seizures.• Flowers/plants: Of course , some flowers and plants can pose a threat to pets as well. Before planting new plants and/or flowers in their gardens, ho-meowners should inquire at their local

gardening center or speak with their veteri-narians to confirm if the plants or flowers are safe to ingest. If not, do not plant them or plant them in raised garden beds that cannot be accessed by curious pets.• Fertilizers: Certain types of fertilizer also may be harmful to pets. According to the PPH, fertilizers that contain blood meal, bone meal, feather meal, and iron can be dangerous to dogs. When ingested in large doses, such products can form a concretion in the stomach, which can ob-struct the gastrointestinal tract and cause severe pancreatitis. Fertilizers that are high in iron also can contribute to iron poisoning if ingested by pets.
