The former Clayton Fire Department captain died Saturday.
Daniel Nicewarner fit right into the Clayton Fire Department family. "He had great respect for the fire service and those that he worked with," said Kathy Brooks-Maness, administrative secretary for the department. To him, the safety of Clayton residents and fire employees came first. The former captain died Saturday at age 52.

"I'm a workhorse, not a show pony," Dan responded. …

The Richmond Heights officer served at the mall starting from the day it opened.
A veteran Richmond Heights Police Department officer assigned to the Saint Louis Galleria from the day it opened is being remembered as a dedicated and hard-working man. Frank Romeo, who had cancer, died Wednesday night surrounded by family at his home, Acting Chief Roy Wright said. He was 58. "Frank's going to be sorely missed," Wright said.

Homeowners in the neighborhood participated in a buyout program because of periodic flooding.
A dog park proposed for Clayton's Haddington Court could be ready by mid-year City Manager Craig Owens said Monday. "This type of use is common for flood plain areas," Owens said. The site, just under two acres in size, is located off of Clayton Road and west of Brentwood Boulevard. A buyout of Haddington Court homes ended late last year and happened because of serious periodic flooding in the neighborhood. The park would have to be designed to account for the flow of water in the area, Owens said. Other common uses of buyout land like that at Haddington Court include athletic fields and parks with trails and benches. Clayton recently a letter to the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency asking whether it would be acceptable to locate…
