Duck Derby Day A Popular Event & Big Success
Bailey Chappelear & Greg Schoen
Dr. Mark Greatting
After a Friday morning thunder and lightning storm that closed the pool temporarily, the skies cleared and muggy temperatures greeted visitors to Fusion's 3rd annual Duck Derby Day.
A full menu of activities -- including a bake sale, grilled chicken sandwich lunch & dinner, dunk tank, Bounce House, open swim and, of course, duck racing -- kept the staff and volunteers busy for nearly 12 hours.
"Dunk the Teacher" became THE popular after-school sport for junior high and grade school pupils, who lined up to pitch line-drive balls at the target and douse Mr. Buerkett, Mr. VanGiesen, Mr. Fenske and Mr. Frailey.
For the day's finale, hundreds of numbered ducks competed in eight preliminary heats on the Fusion river. The top three from each heat were entered in the final race for Duck Derby cash prizes. Winners: 1st for $150, Greg Schoen; 2nd for $100, Bailey Chappelear, and 3rd for $50, Dr. Mark Greatting.

Walt & Kendra Honored As Members Of Month
Walt and Kendra Finley of Hillsboro are our May Members of the Month. The two have been regulars on the elevated track until a recent hiatus due to health issues, but both are anxious to resume their mid-day exercise routine.
The desire to walk year-round was the couple's reason for joining Fusion in late 2008. Walt normally completes a mile (15 laps) while Kendra aims for two miles.
Their comments about Fusion echo those of most members -- "courteous, friendly staff" and "Hillsboro is lucky to have such a facility."
Walt, a 1953 graduate of St. Louis College of Pharmacy, and Kendra owned and operated Finley's Pharmacy in downtown Hillsboro from 1962 to 1985, when they retired and sold the business to John DalPozzo. They are the parents of four children, Brian of Maryville, Bruce (wife Lisa) of Hillsboro, Dave (wife Kelli) of Rochester, and Vickie (husband Ric) Baker of Colorado. They have eight grandchildren and four-great-grandchildren.
