Clayton is spit-shined and ready for the
annual Art and Wine Festival thanks to the
more than 120 Claytonians that turned out
for the annual Clayton Cleans Up day on
April 16.
Scouts, families, friends, neighbors and
pooches gathered at Clayton’s City Hall,
grabbed gloves and giant orange garbage
bags and collected trash on trails, in creeks,

Kids blew up the gloves, making oddlooking
balloon volleyballs with little fingers
and batted them back and forth in the courtyard
after a barbeque lunch.
The most unusual item found was small
black dog. CCU crew member, Linda Pinder
called Animal Services, got the phone number
of the owner and the small black dog
went home after polishing off a hot dog or
two.
Clayton PD Officer Daren Billington
gave the kids a police car “tour.” When he
opened the trunk, one youngster piped up
“Ohhh, dynamite.”
Seizing on the teachable moment,
Billington said, “No, not dynamite. It’s a
flare.” And the kids got a lesson in highway
emergencies.
Kaitlyn Dunn, Brownie Troop #33065,
said the clean up was “really fun” and she
was happy “helping nature survive.” The
Troop earned their Earth Day patch by participating
in the clean up.
Clayton CERT was on hand to help with
trash pickup and talk about disaster preparedness.

Locks of Love gets Grace’s braids
Grace Dausses, 5, had been
growing her hair out for about
two years when she saw a story in
the Pioneer about a young girl
who donated her hair to Locks of
Love, an organization that makes
wigs for children suffering from
hair loss.
Inspired, she headed for the
beauty shop only to find that her
tresses fell short of the 10 inches
required for donation.
So, she waited for a few
months until her hair reached the
required length, then set up her
appointment with Wendy Trimble
from Permanent Solution in
Clayton who donated her time to
the cause.

Love haircut from Wendy
Trimble of Permanent Solution
Grace loves her new haircut.
“It’s so easy now, she says. “And it
doesn’t hurt anymore to brush it.”

Pioneer reaches the Pinnacles
KATHY O’TOOLE, HERB YONGE, DOROTHY BRADT AND SUE ELLIOTT,
all of Clayton, were caught reading their Clayton Pioneers
high up in Pinnacles National Monument. The group joined 19
other members of the CC Hills Hiking Club for a 3-day hiking
trip to the park for great hikes, good weather and beautiful
views.
