Costas,

 I do not want to be critical but you sure do like to lash out at
others.  Yes this list is for CF Development help, but even thing like
this to break up the monotony of a day is a good thing.  I am in no way
lashing out at you it is just something that I notice.  You lashed at me
about the outlook question and I have seen you lash out at others.  This
is a list to help not slam let's try to keep it that way.

* A Frontenac officer issued a summons to the youth for not having a
merchant's license. That led the convention's organizer to move the
candy
dispenser collectors' convention to Town and Country.

Pez candy dispenser collectors moved their annual convention this
weekend
from Frontenac to Town and Country after an undercover police officer
busted
a teen who sold a $3 item without a merchant's license.

A Frontenac police detective wandered into a room at the Frontenac
Hilton on
Thursday and bought a Star Wars Pez candy dispenser from 18-year-old
Seth
Weinberg of Columbia, Mo.

About an hour later, the officer returned to issue Weinberg a court
summons.
Dozens of other dealers were not cited.

I didn't invite this guy into my room to buy Pez. He just came in,
Weinberg said.

City officials said anyone selling merchandise in Frontenac must apply
for a
itinerant merchant license 30 days before the sale. The process gives
police
an opportunity to check the background of a vendor before the public
buys
wares.

It doesn't matter what they are selling - diamond rings or Pez
dispensers,
said City Attorney Chet Pleban. We want to make sure everyone follows
the
law, and we know who comes into our town.

John Devlin, who founded the convention 10 years ago, said he never
needed a
license when he hosted the event in the St. Louis area in the past.
Devlin,
of south St. Louis County, said the hotel event coordinator never
mentioned
it.

He said he heard about the ordinance about three weeks before the
convention. By then, he said, he didn't have time to apply.

Instead, Devlin decided to move the event to the St. Louis Marriott West
hotel in Town and Country after the incident Thursday.

Town and Country does not put the same restrictions on vendors.

The Pez show, open to the public from 10:30 to 2 p.m. today, will be
squeezed into the Marriott West ballroom, which is one-third the size of
the
planned space.

More than 200 people from across the country registered for the event.
Organizers expected several hundred more to stop in.

Weinberg must return to Frontenac July 17 to appear in court on his
violation.

I know the police are doing their job, he said. But I'm sure there
has
got to be something better they can be doing than busting people selling
Pez.
