What an exciting year it has been here in the City of Florissant, and it isn’t even over yet!On September 25th, we hosted our 65th Plaque Dedication for Rose Gronemeyer. It was a beautiful, and emotional night of remembering someone who made a very large impact on our community. Following the Plaque Dedication was our last Wednesday Night Out of the Season at Hendel’s, where we celebrated their 30th anniversary in business. On September 28th, The City had its 2nd Annual Italian Festival at the Duchesne Grounds. The Bocce tournament was a success and the food was the real highlight of the entire festival. We can’t wait until the 3rd Annual Italian Festival next year. On October 13th, we celebrated our 27th Annual Fall Festival on St. Francois Street. This is always one of the larger events that we host. Thank you to everyone who works so hard to make this event blossom year after year. KMOV was here to help promote the Fall Festival with their “Great Day STL” on October 11th. KMOV does a great job showing our city to the rest of St. Louis and promoting our Fall Festival.

ﬂorissantmo.com6With the winter months fast approaching we at the Florissant Police Department would like our citizens to take a few minutes to review their winter driving habits. As we all know hazardous driving conditions due to rain, sleet and snow can result in hazardous highway conditions. Here are some tips from the American Automobile Association, AAA. Severe weather can be both frightening and dangerous for automobile travel. Motorists should know the safety rules for dealing with winter road emergencies. AAA reminds motorists to be cautious while driving in adverse weather. For more information on winter driving, the association offers the How to Go on Ice and Snow brochure, available through most AAA ofﬁces. Contact your local AAA representative for more information.AAA recommends the following winter driving tips:• Avoid driving while you're fatigued. Getting the proper amount of rest before taking on winter weather tasks reduces driving risks. • Never warm up a vehicle in an enclosed area, such as a garage. • Make certain your tires are properly inﬂated. • Never mix radial tires with other tire types. • Keep your gas tank at least half full to avoid gas line freeze-up. • If possible, avoid using your parking brake in cold, rainy and snowy weather. • Do not use cruise control when driving on any slippery surface (wet, ice, sand). • Always look and steer where you want to go. • Use your seat belt every time you get into your vehicle.Tips for long-distance winter trips:• Watch weather reports prior to a long-distance drive or before driving in isolated areas. Delay trips when especially bad weather is expected. If you must leave, let others know your route, destination and estimated time of arrival. • Always make sure your vehicle is in peak operating condition by having it inspected by an AAA Approved Auto Repair facility. • Keep at least half a tank of gasoline in your vehicle at all times. • Pack a cellular telephone with your local AAA's telephone number, plus blankets, gloves, hats, food, water and any needed medication in your vehicle. • If you become snow-bound, stay with your vehicle. It provides temporary shelter and makes it easier for rescuers to locate you. Don't try to walk in a severe storm. It's easy to lose sight of your vehicle in blowing snow and become lost. • Don't over exert yourself if you try to push or dig your vehicle out of the snow. • Tie a brightly colored cloth to the antenna or place a cloth at the top of a rolled up window to signal distress. At night, keep the dome light on if possible. It only uses a small amount of electricity and will make it easier for rescuers to ﬁnd you. • Make sure the exhaust pipe isn't clogged with snow, ice or mud. A blocked exhaust could cause deadly carbon monoxide gas to leak into the passenger compartment with the engine running. • Use whatever is available to insulate your body from the cold. This could include ﬂoor mats, newspapers or paper maps. • If possible run the engine and heater just long enough to remove the chill and to conserve gasoline. Tips for driving in the snow:• Accelerate and decelerate slowly. Applying the gas slowly to accelerate is the best method for regaining traction and avoiding skids. Don't try to get moving in a hurry. And take time to slow down for a stoplight. Remember: It takes longer to slow down on icy roads. • Drive slowly. Everything takes longer on snow-covered roads. Accelerating, stopping, and turning - nothing happens as quickly as on dry pavement. Give yourself time to maneuver by driving slowly. • The normal dry pavement following distance of three to four seconds should be increased to eight to ten seconds. This increased margin of safety will provide the longer distance needed if you have to stop. • Know your brakes. Whether you have antilock brakes or not, the best way to stop is threshold breaking. Keep the heel of your foot on the ﬂoor and use the ball of your foot to apply ﬁrm, steady pressure on the brake pedal. • Don't stop if you can avoid it. There's a big difference in the amount of inertia it takes to start moving fom a full stop versus how much it takes to get moving while still rolling. If you can slow down enough to keep rolling until a trafﬁc light changes, do it. • Don't power up hills. Applying extra gas on snow-covered roads just starts your wheels spinning. Try to get a little inertia going before you reach the hill and let that inertia carry you to the top. As you reach the crest of the hill, reduce your speed and proceed downhill as slowly as possible. • Don't stop going up a hill. There's nothing worse than trying to get moving up a hill on an icy road. Get some inertia going on a ﬂat roadway before you take on the hill. • Stay home. If you really don't have to go out, don't. Even if you can drive well in the snow, not everyone else can. Don't tempt fate: If you don't have somewhere you have to be, watch the snow from indoors.Information provide in this article taken from the AAA website at; www.aaa.comFlorissan Polic an AAA ar Oﬀerin Winter Weather Drivin pPolice DepartmentPD Drivin p PD Vacatio pSafet tip for Holida ShoppinShopping in Stores• Do not buy more than you can carry. Plan ahead by taking a friend with you or ask a store employee to help you carry your packages to the car. • Save all receipts. Print and save all conﬁrmations from your online purchases. Start a ﬁle folder to keep all receipts together and to help you erify credit card or bank statements as they come in.• Consider alternate options to pay for your merchandise, such as onetime or multiuse disposable credit cards or money orders, at online stores and auction sites.• Wait until asked before taking out your credit card or checkbook. A thief could look over your shoulder to get your account information.Walking to and From Your Car• Carry your purse close to your body or your wallet inside a coat or front trouser pocket.• Have your keys in hand when approaching your vehicle. Check the back seat and around the car before getting in.• Do not leave packages visible in your car windows. Lock them in the trunk or, if possible, take them directly home.Shopping with Small Children• If you are shopping with children, make a plan in case you are separated from each other.• Select a central meeting place.• Teach them to know they can ask store personnel or store security employees if they need help. Shopping Online• Before surﬁng the Internet, secure your personal computers by updating your security software. Everyone’s computer should have anti-virus, anti-spyware, and anti-spam software, as well as a good ﬁrewall installed. • Keep your personal information private and your password secure. Do not respond to requests to “verify” your password or credit card information unless you initiated the contact. Legitimate businesses will not contact you in this manner.• Beware of “bargains” from companies with whom you are unfamiliar - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!• Use secure websites for purchases. Look for the icon of a locked padlock at the bottom of the screen or “https” in the URL address.• Shop with companies you know and trust. Check for background information if you plan to buy from a new or unfamiliar company.To ﬁnd more useful shopping tips and personal safety information, visit the National Crime Prevention Council’s website: www.ncpc.org Danger of Leavin your Vehicl Runninan UnattendeThe Florissant Police Department is warning residents to be wary of thieves who are targeting unattended vehicles warming up during frigid temperatures.The Florissant Police Department sees an increase in stolen vehicles that were left unattended at convenience stores or warming up in driveways each year when the temperatures get colder. "We need everyone to do their part and not leave their car running and unattended. These thefts are 100 percent preventable, said Chief Timothy Fagan. "This is a crime of opportunity. Please do not give criminals an easy opportunity to steal your car”. Please know that leaving your vehicle running unattended on the street is a violation the Florissant Municipal Code.

Florissant Spotlight Winter 202411Aqua Zumba _______________________________ 16 & upAqua Zumba gives new meaning to the idea of an invigorating workout. This class takes place in our indoor pool. Splashing, stretching, twisting, and even shouting, laughing, hooting, and hollering are often heard during an Aqua Zumba shallow water class. Integrating the Zumba formula and philosophy with traditional aqua ﬁtness disciplines, Aqua Zumba blends it all together into a safe, challenging, water-based workout that’s cardio-conditioning, body-toning, and most of all, exhilarating beyond belief.M/W/F I: 1/6-2/15 10-11am $64 • $72Water Works _______________________________ 16 & upTake the plunge and try this low-impact workout that builds muscle strength and boosts your endurance. Each class includes a warm-up, cardio and strength training exercises, and a cooldown. Expect exercises like water walking, bicep curls, leg curls, leg lift, and noodle moves. You won’t be swimming, and these water workouts are done in the shallow end of the pool. The buoyancy of the water is easy on your joints which makes this class a good choice if you have joint problems, chronic pain, or are recovering from an injury.M/W/F I: 1/6-2/15 11-12pm $64 • $72T/TH I: 1/7-2/13 10-11am $48 • $54AquaticsO.A.R.S.Older Adult Recreational Swimming is for adults 18 years and older.

That means it’s a great activity for people of different ages and athletic abilities. Not a strong swimmer? Don’t worry, you’ll be able to stand the whole time-the water is typically no more than chest high. So, grab your bathing cap, dip in a toe, and get ready to make a splash with this fun workout.T/TH I: 1/7-2/14 8-9am $48 • $54 I: 1/7-2/14 9-10am $48 • $54 I: 1/7-2/14 5:30-6:30pm $48 • $54 I: 1/7-2/14 6:30-7:30pm $48 • $54Sat I: 1/6-2/15 9-10am $24 • $27Deep Water Aerobics _________________________________ 16 & upAs you submerge yourself into the deep end of a pool for a water ﬁtness workout your body becomes nearly weightless, giving you a new kind of workout challenge.
