Many people comment that fall is their favorite time of the year.

Maybe it's getting back into the routine with school schedules, the cooler temperatures, the beautiful fall foliage, or, my personal favorite — college football! For the Wentzville Parks and Recreation Department fall signals the end of summer programs and activities. In fall, we turn our focus to park maintenance and move toward indoor sports and programs. This year, fall also signals the launch of a new, exciting planning period that will inevitably shape Wentzville's future.

In order to provide the best amenities and services for our residents, we must always be planning ahead. This fall, at the direction of the Board of Aldermen, we will be launching a feasibility study to address a future multigenerational facility here in Wentzville. This study is the first step in the process of developing a conceptual design for what a multigenerational facility might include. We will be seeking community input to determine what activities must be considered and to help establish priorities for the programming spaces, which will be included in the final conceptual design. This study allows the City to explore the options available for a multigenerational facility, and determine community support, funding options and gauge the overall viability of a facility of this kind.

The City has selected Hastings+Chivetta to assist with this process. As part of this process, an open dialogue of brainstorming and solicitation of ideas, coupled with evaluating needs and requirements, allows options to be explored and objectives confirmed during this time period.

To learn more, please follow the Wentzville Parks and Recreation Department on Facebook at www.facebook.com/wentzvilleparks and visit www.ShapingWentzvillesFuture.org.

Memorial Tree and Bench Program You can honor your loved ones within our park system.

Legacy trees and memorial benches provide a lasting way to pay tribute to a loved one or friend. You may also provide a donation to be used for park and recreation purposes. For further information, please contact Linda Ziolko at (636) 639-2082 or by email at Linda.Ziolko@wentzvillemo.org.

Walk on! Older adults engage in over 3.5 times more physical activity in parks with walking loops.

We need your help!

Vandalism in your park system is a serious, unnecessary and costly problem. Each year, the City spends thousands of tax dollars to remove graffiti and repair damage done by vandals. We would much rather use your funding to enhance and beautify the parks!

If you have a cell phone with you or live adjacent to a park, you can help us out with “PARK WATCH” program. If you see anyone acting suspicious, damaging property, driving on the grass or defacing playground equipment, please report it by calling the Wentzville Police Department at (636) 327-5105. THANK YOU!

Wentzville CERT CERT or Community Emergency Response Team, is a program in which the Wentzville Police Department partners with the Wentzville Fire Department and the Wentzville Emergency Management Office. Wentzville CERT meets every other month at the Wentzville Police Department and offers free training opportunities to the public.

Participants receive training in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. After training, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhoods or workplaces following an event when professional responders are not immediately available. Registration is recommended to ensure enough space for all participants; please email Wentzville CERT at wentvillecert@aol.com (please note: there is no “z”).

Crossroads Arts Council has been busy at work planning a mural for Wentzville’s Splash Station Aquatic Park.

The facility opened in the summer of 2014, and since its opening date has had more than 175,000 visits to utilize its amenities. The Crossroads Arts Council has selected this facility as one of its first projects to bring community art to the City.

This facility will become even more enjoyable when the community comes together to create a beautiful mosaic in the center of the facility.

Here's a look at the mosaic that's currently being created.

Take Back Your Native Plants!

Wentzville's Tree Board Aims to Help Residents Control Bush Honeysuckle

Honeysuckle Attack Day (Ages 11+)

Invasive bush honeysuckle is a problem for homeowners and native habitats alike.

Late fall is the best time to attack it because it remains green after native vegetation has gone dormant. Birds eat the berries and spread the seeds, but the non-native berries offer poor nutrition for birds.

Join Tree Board members on Saturday, Nov. 4, as they work to rid Wentzville of these pesky plants. During this two-hour event attendees are asked to wear longsleeved shirts, jeans and close-toed shoes. Please bring work/garden gloves, safety glasses, and pruners, loppers and limb saws (if you have them). A limited supply of tools will be available for use. Attendees ages 11-18, must have one adult for every five kids. Register by OCT 15. (Max 100)

New Transportation Option for Wentzville's Senior Residents Wentzville’s Mayor and Board of Aldermen have approved a new partnership with ITNStCharles now ITNGateway, which offers transportation for senior citizens (ages 60 and older) and adults with visual impairments.

The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for any transportation needs within St. Charles County. Rides are available to any destination within the service area, with no limits on ride purpose. Rides are provided in private vehicles by trained drivers.

There is an annual fee of $50 to sign up, but after just three rides (which must be taken within a year of registering), the City of Wentzville will reimburse eligible residents for the entire $50 fee. The resident is responsible for the cost of the rides, which is comparable to other ride service options. To be eligible for the annual fee reimbursement, you must be a Wentzville resident.

After eligible residents have completed three separate days of rides (within one year of registering), ITNGateway invoices can be submitted to City Hall for reimbursement of the $50 annual fee.

For additional information or to verify your residency, please call City Hall at (636) 327-5101. To learn more about ITNGateway, please visit www.itngateway.org or call (636) 329-0888.
