The Chamber is partnering with the Waynesville
School District in promoting their character word of the month.
Each month a character word is chosen to be the focus of character
development. The Chamber is encouraging its members to apply
this word within their business each month. Businesses can
put up a sign or put the word on their marquis as well as
encourage employees to focus on what the character word means
to them.
The character word for May is:
Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong
moral principles; moral uprightness.
What does Integrity mean to you, your
business, and the community?

The Waynesville R-VI School District offers
a broad range of programs - from pre-school for children
with developmental concerns to dual credit and AP college
courses at the high school - to meet the academic needs
of students. As a result, the district's 5,827 students
perform above average on state and national tests.
Beyond their common core subject material and 21st century
skills, students learn to apply positive behavior support
(PBS) strategies, model character words and embrace good
habits for successful daily living. Understanding the value
of individual responsibility is emphasized, along with service
to others.
Students impacted by the military make up 75 percent of
Waynesville's student population; 60 percent are military
dependents. They are also diverse:
o 60% White o 19% Black or African American o 10% Hispanic
or Latino o 7% Multi-racial o 2% Asian o 1% American Indian
or Alaska Native
The award-winning school district is the area's second largest
employer and has a $71 million operating budget. The district's
facilities have never been in better condition - the result
of more than $100 million being invested in the district's
facilities during the last decade.
Classes for the 2014-15 School Year will start Thursday,
August 14th, for the Waynesville R-VI School District, and
enrollment will be held July 28th, 29th and 30th for new
high school students entering grades 9-12. Enrollment for
new students entering pre-kindergarten through 8th grades
will be held August 4th, 5th and 6th.

Army for almost 8 years now and works for the U.S. Government,

 I
just read that May is Older Americans Month.
A meeting with the National Council of Senior Citizens resulted
in John F. Kennedy designated May 1963 as Senior Citizen Month,
encouraging the nation to pay tribute to older people across
the country. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter's proclamation
changed the name to Older Americans month, a time to celebrate
those 65 and older through ceremonies, events and public recognition.
I understand that AARP was established in 1958 and you could
join at 50 years of age. You are eligible to draw social security
at age 62 with reduced benefits. Many businesses offer senior
citizen discounts. The United States Census Bureau reports
that on July 1, 2012 there were 43.1 million people who were
65 and older in the United States. The U.S. Census estimates
that by the year 2060 the population of 65 and older will
reach 92 million. People in this age group would comprise
just over one in five U.S. residents. Of that number 18.2
million would be 85 or older. The U.S. Census also estimates
that in 2056 the population 65 and older will outnumber people
younger than 18 in the United States. It has been reported
that 6 out of 10 retirees from Fort Leonard Wood choose to
remain in the area. The United States Census estimated the
number of people 65 and older who were veterans of the armed
forces was 9.6 million in 2012. There is no doubt the older
Americans market is a growing market that will bring new opportunities
for investments and job.

 From
the Banks of the Roubidoux!
Dear Citizens:
Our April City Council meeting was very busy
with swearing in of Council members, the election of Mike
France as Mayor pro Tem and committee assignments. We also
honored three Brownies for their work with Stream Team #
1. Zoning issues saw two final plats approved, Woodland
Hills Phase Six and the Walters Subdivision. We also rezoned
the land located at the corner of Ichord Ave. and Route
66 to Commercial, as Dollar General announced last week
their plans to build a new 10,500 sq. ft. building at that
location.
The City's new Code Red Automated Notification System is
close to being operational and we are hoping for it to be
up and running by the end of May. We have also decided to
seek grants to repair our tornado sirens. We will be doing
this with the help of our emergency responders. Please be
aware and alert during bad weather, as we get everything
on line and repaired.
The City has recently hosted the National Park Service and
the Pannier Company in the Laughlin Park. We are beginning
in earnest the building of our Trail of Tears exhibit and
Walking Tour, as we become a full partner in the National
Historic Trail system. We plan for completion of this project
by the end of the year. This has been a long time project
and goal of the City and the Downtown Business Association,
as we continue to revitalize the downtown area. The City
Council also approved a Trail Grant from DNR to finish the
hard surfacing of the Roubidoux Walking Trail. The engineering
design of the walking trail in Laughlin Park has proven
to be the correct formula for the flooding along the Roubidoux
and we will continue with that design as we take the hard
surfacing through the entire walking trail.
The highlights of the Council meeting were reports given
concerning the special needs/accessible playground idea
and the findings of our hydrology engineers concerning mitigation
work after the August flood. The Waynesville Park Board
and the City Council have been discussing and planning to
replace our playground equipment in the Roubidoux Park for
some time. It is aging and needing repairs. This past year,
the City was asked to join talks concerning the building
of a handicap/accessible playground for our area. Even though
"accessible" for special needs children, the playground
will be used by ALL children. It will feature adaptive swings
with high backs, fencing for safety, ramps to every platform,
smooth, spongy surfacing, musical instruments, shading,
and many other features. Unfortunately, only a small percentage
of fully accessible playgrounds exist within our nation.
Families will drive many miles to bring their child to such
a playground for the experience of having play with other
children.
The Park Board and the City Council voted
in April to partner with a 501-C-3 company, "Unlimited
Play", from St. Louis, to lead this effort. They will
be spearheading the fundraising, along with the Waynesville
Community Foundation, and designing the playground. You
can visit their website to see more examples of their work.
Monies will come from the self-imposed sales tax for Capital
Improvements in the Waynesville Parks, which would be the
amount we would have spent anyway to replace a standard
playground, budgeted over two years, with the remainder
coming from grants and fund raising. The City is excited
to be bringing such a state of the art addition to the Roubidoux
Park. This will probably be a two to three year project.
Benton and Associates, a hydrology engineering
company, gave the findings of their study of the August
flood event. The City had anticipated all of the findings
and in fact, have been preparing to address many of them.
The two major mitigation projects will be deepening the
channel of the Mitchell Creek bed and obtaining an area
to detain water coming from across the Interstate and the
many acres of the Roubidoux Watershed. It is, of course,
problematic because we must obtain permission from federal
agencies who control our waterways, specifically DNR and
the Corps of Engineers. The engineers noted the progress
the City has already made by working several areas on the
Mitchell Creek area, Dyer Street and Ichord Avenue. Another
issue is that Mitchell Creek is privately owned property
and we will have to acquire easements to perform the work.
I would also mention that there are Council members who
feel this work is not the City's responsibility and that
the neighborhood should pay for this work, for example,
by passing a NID tax. The majority of the Council and myself,
however, feel this is something the City should help with,
as we have the contacts and grant opportunities to do it.
We are dedicated to not let this opportunity pass to improve
our safety from flooding. We have begun, and have in planning,
several projects within the City to do just that. You will
be seeing these as the year progresses. We continue to work
with FEMA.
SHOP LOCAL! Route 66 Summer Jam on the Square
is planned for May 24, 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Come out
for good music and fun!
