Statement of Inclusion

Definition of a resident Residents are people who live within the City of O’Fallon’s corporate limits. City limits and Post Office boundaries are not the same, so it’s possible to have an O’Fallon address, yet live outside the City, or have a postal address in an adjacent municipality, yet live in O’Fallon.

The City of O’Fallon Parks and Recreation Department welcomes people of all abilities to participate in our programs and services. If you or someone you know has a disability and you would like to participate in one of our programs, please let us know how we can best meet your needs. The City of O’Fallon fully complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in making reasonable accommodations to facilitate participation. The Parks and Recreation Department is involved in a St. Charles County-wide Recreation Inclusion Partnership, which provides an Inclusion Coordinator to assist with these accommodations. For more information on our Inclusion Coordinator, please see page 38. This information is available in alternate formats on request.

Steel Magnolias November 30 – December 2, and December 7 – 9 8 p.m. curtain time on Fridays and Saturdays, 2 p.m. matinee on Sundays O’Fallon Municipal Centre (City Hall) auditorium Written by Robert Harling, Steel Magnolias is filled with hilarious repartee, drawing on characters whose inner strength, deep bond for one another, and willingness to poke fun makes them marvelous company in good times and bad. The action takes place in Truvy’s home beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle (who is not sure if she’s still married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to her clients: Ouiser, the town’s rich curmudgeon (“I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a bad mood for forty years”); Miss Clairee, an eccentric millionaire with a raging sweet tooth; and M’Lynn, the local social leader whose daughter, Shelby, the prettiest girl in town, is getting married. Tickets are $10 for general admission, $8 for students (ages 6 - 17) and $8 for seniors (ages 65+). There is a $2 up-charge when purchased at the door. Tickets go on sale Monday, October 29 and can be purchased by phone (credit cards only) or in person at the Renaud Spirit Center (2650 Tri Sports Circle; 636-474-2732) or the Parks and Recreation Office (400 Civic Park Drive; 636-379-5606).

Paint Your Own Masterpiece

As parents of three children (and one on the way), we want to set an example for our kids that health and wellness are important.” Kim and Joe Bushmeyer RSC members since 2009

Scan to watch their story!

The Bushmeyer’s Success Story

oe and I grew up playing sports. Many of our childhood memories involve sports, even throughout high school and college. As adults, we have had some periods of time where we were not committed to fitness, but mostly we have stayed physically active. Joe has run two marathons and two half marathons, and has recently played in a softball league. I have run three half marathons, and have recently played in volleyball leagues. As parents of three children (and one on the way), we want to set an example for our kids that health and wellness are important. We hope that, by modeling an active lifestyle, our kids will decide to make fitness a part of their lives for the long term. It’s also an added bonus that the energy we gain from exercising helps us to keep up with the little ones!

What is your fitness plan? Currently, we are incorporating a lot of intense interval training-type workouts into our routine. Our fitness program is based on strength and intensity, and since starting these workouts last year we have seen improvements in overall athleticism. We changed our diet in November of 2011 to be much cleaner, and have since seen great improvements in body composition. We try to eliminate grains, processed sugars, and dairy. This is the first time in our lives when we have really paid attention to the foods that we are eating, and it has made a huge impact in our energy levels and general wellness.

What motivates you? Kim Bushmeyer I am motivated by seeing improvements in my body composition and increases in energy level. It doesn’t take long to feel sluggish and frumpy after some time off from the gym. As a stay-at-home mom, I also really enjoy getting an hour or so to myself to collect my thoughts while I work out. I could not stay committed if I didn’t know that my kids were being taken care of by wonderful people in Kids Korner. Keep up the good work!

Joe Bushmeyer I am motivated by the improvements in overall athleticism that I have experienced. Previously, my athleticism was on the decline and I believed that all I could do was slow that decline. At the moment, I’m reversing it. I am motivated to continue to learn and work as I now know that both efforts yield results.

The Bushmeyer’s advice: Make a commitment to yourself to be healthy, and hold yourself accountable. Nobody else can make you do anything. Fitness experts can definitely help to keep you motivated and give you ideas, but you have to really want to do this for yourself! It’s too easy to make excuses if you’re not fully committed.

This six-week workshop is geared to parents and primary caregivers of children ages 2 ½ years old, and includes a workbook and healthy snacks. Class is for adult attendees, only. (Minimum class size is four,; maximum is nine.)

On the first Wednesday of every month, from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., the Wellness Mobile will provide free heart health biometric screenings at the Renaud Spirit Center, including blood pressure, resting heart rate, blood oxygen levels, weight, and body mass index. For more information, visit www. wellnessmobile.com or call 636-978-0970.

Body Composition Analysis

Sometimes the grocery store can be a confusing place! Let our registered dietitian help you learn how to correctly read nutrition labels, find the healthiest foods and shop smart. The program includes a group tour held at Dierbergs for 2–6 people.

It’s not how much you weigh, but the amount of body fat you carry that’s potentially dangerous to your health. Body-fat percentage is a much better indicator of overall health and fitness than just weight alone, because too much body fat increases your risk of developing serious health problems such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. To sign up for this analysis, please call 636-978-0970.

Learn to Swim O

’Fallon’s Learn to Swim program is built on teaching aquatic and safety skills in a logical progression. Our goal is to teach children and adults how to swim and be safe in and around the water. The program is composed of 11 course levels:

Aqua Learning: Preschool: Preschool Plus: Level 1: Level 2: Level 3: Level 4: Level 5: Level 6: Level:

Shrimp I and II Turtle Seahorse Explorer Submarine Clipper Sailor Adventurer Barracuda Fear of Water

Aqua Learning: Parent and child participation is required. Class size is limited to eight parent-child couples. Preschool – Level 3: Class ratio is six children to one instructor. Levels 4 – 6: Class ratio is eight children to one instructor. Fear of Water: Class ratio is four to one instructor. Parents are required to be in the water the first four classes. Participants will move to the next class or skill level when all skills from the previous level are mastered. Some classes may seem repetitive, but we want swimmers to perfect their skills in order to advance safely. Please keep in mind that children learn at different paces and it’s common to repeat a class. Weekday classes at the RSC meet twice weekly for four weeks and last 35 minutes. Saturday morning sessions last 40 minutes and meet for seven weeks.

Which class is right for my child? To ensure your child’s success in the Learn to Swim Program, it’s important to register children for the appropriate level. Children who have participated in the swimming program should register according to the last class successfully completed. Each child must pass a particular level before proceeding to the next.

Aqua Learning This program helps children ages 6 months to 3 years become comfortable in and around water and prepares them to learn how to swim. The class is divided into two sections: Shrimp I and Shrimp II. NOTE: Classes may seem repetitive because they are introductions to water.

Shrimp I • Ages 6 – 18 months Parent-child or guardian participation in the water is required. The instructor will demonstrate techniques as parents learn how to safely guide children and help them advance at their own pace.
