JEFFERSON REVIEW
MONDAY EDITION
Families can enjoy decorated trunks, Halloween treats, games, and plenty of festive fun while helping Gateway Food Pantry stock its shelves for local neighbors in need.
From the Editor’s Desk
With the first day of fall arriving this week, the weather finally seems ready to cooperate. After last week’s heat wave, temperatures are cooling down quickly and giving Jefferson County a welcome taste of the season ahead.
It was an especially busy weekend across the county, and we were glad to experience several of its highlights. We made it to Arnold Days, visited the Festus Farmers Market and stopped by the BackStoppers BBQ to enjoy some great food while supporting an important cause. This edition also brings you the latest news from Arnold, Byrnes Mill and the Fox C-6 School District, along with a spotlight on the young entrepreneurs preparing to showcase their talents in Kimmswick.
The City Council approved a $755,815 pool management contract and several other major expenditures while discussing stormwater concerns, pool renovations and a recent meeting with the Missouri State Auditor’s Office.
City officials are getting ready for the Fall Festival and Police Night Out while also discussing road repairs, equipment, the tax levy and Missouri’s new annexation law.
The district is asking residents to help shape its future through a new community survey as the School Board keeps the property tax rate steady.
More than 60 young business owners are preparing to fill nearly 50 booths with handmade creations during Kimmswick’s Young Entrepreneur Arts & Crafts Fair.
This affectionate, playful cat is waiting at the Jefferson County Animal Resource Center for a family to give him belly rubs, treats and a loving home.
County Dispatch
Arnold City Council kept the city’s property tax levy unchanged, approved a $755,815 pool management agreement and authorized several other major expenditures. Officials also shared updates on stormwater concerns, pool renovations and a recent meeting with the Missouri State Auditor’s Office.
Byrnes Mill officials are preparing for the Fall Festival and Police Night Out — including a special appearance by a baby colt named Chief in honor of Police Chief Frank Selvaggio. The Board of Alderpersons also discussed road repairs, city equipment, the tax levy and why Byrnes Mill is staying out of Crystal City’s legal challenge to Missouri’s new annexation law for now.
Fox C-6 is asking residents to help shape the district’s next five years through a community survey. The Board of Education also kept the 2026 property tax rate steady, recognized a student-led sidewalk safety project, discussed state education funding and approved incentives aimed at giving the district an earlier start on teacher recruitment.
I Almost Threw Out My Keurig. It Wasn't Broken.
Every cup from my Keurig started tasting weak, flat, stale — so I unplugged it and stuck it in a closet. Then I learned the dirty secret of grocery store K-Cups: by the time a pod reaches your kitchen, it's usually spent months going from factory to warehouse to truck to shelf. The flavor oils are long gone. Some brands even over-roast to hide it.
The fix wasn't a new machine. It was fresh pods from Angelino's, a family-owned L.A. roastery that roasts, packs, and ships within 3–5 days — straight to your door, from 39¢ a cup. Over 1,000,000 happy customers. 50+ flavors, no subscription required, and 15% off your first order, applied automatically at checkout.
Business Spotlight
More than 60 young entrepreneurs are expected to take part in Kimmswick’s Young Entrepreneur Arts & Crafts Fair on Saturday, Sept. 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors can shop nearly 50 booths featuring everything from jewelry, crochet creations and artwork to homemade dog treats, baked goods and honey — all while supporting kids who are learning firsthand what it takes to build a business.

Adoptable Pet of the Week
Kasen is looking everywhere for a family that will love him. He was found as a stray before being brought to the Jefferson County Animal Resource Center, where he is now waiting to meet the right family.
Kasen is very affectionate and is more than happy to roll over for belly rubs. He enjoys spending time with people and soaking up attention.
He also enjoys playing with his toys and exploring, but he will always make time for treats.
If Kasen sounds like the kind of cat that would fit right into your family, stop by the Jefferson County Animal Resource Center and ask for him by name or Animal ID 842624. Right now, Kasen’s adoption is free, so he hopes to meet his new family soon!
