Gearing Up for Winter

WITH THE CITY OF WESTERVILLE As a child, when you hear the word winter you think snow days and hours of sledding. As an adult you think dangerous driving conditions, salting and shoveling, and scraping ice from windows. We asked Kevin Weaver, Director of Public Service and Doug Vineyard, Parks Maintenance Supervisor what preparations go into getting the City ready for winter. WHEN DO YOU START PLANNING FOR WINTER? Weaver: As early as possible! Most of the time we start planning in spring. We then begin the process of scheduling the salt purchase and equipment maintenance, plan the route mapping and schedule training for employees.

Vineyard: In addition to the above, the multi-use trails that are to be cleared of snow have the edges marked with wooden stakes as edge markers. HOW MANY SPREADERS AND PLOWS DOES WESTERVILLE PUBLIC SERVICE HAVE? Weaver: At full force, we have 10 dump trucks with plows and spreaders and 10 pickup trucks with plows. Each route is covered by a dump truck and a pickup truck.

WHAT OTHER DEPARTMENTS HELP PLOW AND WITH WHAT EQUIPMENT? Weaver: Westerville Electric Division will send a staff member and a dump truck to help with plowing operations. Planning and Development has one pickup truck with a plow and spreader that works on city parking lots and sends a staff member for plowing streets occasionally.

Vineyard: In addition to keeping the City’s trails and recreation facilities safe for operations, Parks Maintenance sends employees when needed. HOW MUCH SALT IS NEEDED FOR AN AVERAGE SEASON? Weaver: On average we use about 4,700 tons of salt each year. About 6,300 tons was used from November of 2014 to the end of March 2015 due to the severity of the weather. OTHER THAN PLOWING, WHAT ELSE GOES INTO WINTER PREPARATIONS FOR PARKS MAINTENANCE? Vineyard: Park restrooms are closed through the winter because they are not heated, so it is important no water be in the plumbing to prevent the pipes from freezing and breaking. To help get through the long cold winter and still support outdoor activity, portable restrooms are placed at several park locations around town.

T I P S F O R S T AY I N G

HEALTHY AND ACTIVE DURING THE WINTER MONTHS Winter weather doesn’t have to mean a break in your physical activity routine. Working out in winter can be a fun way to stay healthy and beat those winter blues. But how do you exercise during those cold, dreary months? Follow some of these tips on fun ways to stay active when it is cold outside.

TAKE A WALK You can burn calories, increase blood flow, and give your heart and lungs a boost just by walking. It is also a great stress reducer. Getting in a few paces everyday can add up to a lot of calories burned over the week. Ways you can add walking into your daily routine throughout the winter months: • Park farther away from your destination. • Move items around your office and home out of arms reach, forcing you to stand up and stretch occasionally. • Purchase a track pass at the Westerville Community Center for those bitter cold days and walk during your lunch break. • Take the dog for a brisk winter walk. It will benefit both of you. • Become a mall walker with some friends. For the average person, a brisk one-hour walk can burn 300 to 400 calories. • Don some winter gear and walk the Westerville B&W open throughout the year. Take in the beautiful winter scenery along nearly 30 miles of our Recreational Path System. • Get the kids together and take a walk around the neighborhood to look at holiday lights. Children need between 60 and 180 minutes of physical activity a day, so don’t forget to get them involved.

TAKE THE STAIRS Running or walking up and down the stairs in your house or office building can be a great high-intensity cardio and leg workout. • Even two flights of stairs climbed per day can lead to six pounds of weight loss over one year. (Source: http://www.seniorlifehealth.com) • Climbing stairs can improve the amount of “good cholesterol” in the blood and will also help lower the LDL cholesterol level (the “bad” cholesterol). • Taking the stairs works your glutes and quadriceps while increasing your bone density. • While climbing stairs, you’re burning an average of 10 calories a minute. That’s seven times more calories a minute than standing in an elevator. (Source: http://transformationtrainer.com)

BUILD A SNOW-PERSON (OR PET) Making “snow-people” is a great activity for families so bundle up your bunch and get outside. Start a neighborhood contest to determine who can build the biggest snow-person, snow-pet or snow-creature. Don’t forget the carrot nose and coal eyes and to decorate it with a hat and scarf.

HAVE A SNOWBALL FIGHT Get your family and friends outside for a group snowball fight. Nothing gets the heart racing like being chased and chasing others with a freshly packed snowball. Just be careful not to throw the icy stuff. That wouldn’t be fun.

DANCE LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING! For even more fun, turn up the volume on some of your favorite songs and dance. You can even get the whole family together and have a dance party. Crank the tunes and have fun. Or, register for a learn-to-dance class available through the Westerville Community Center.

VOLUNTEERING Choose volunteer opportunities that enable you to be physically active while you work. For a complete list of volunteer opportunities available through the City of Westerville and Parks and Recreation Department visit, www.westerville.org/volunteer.

DON’T FORGET TO DRINK WATER You need to drink the same amount of water year round, and maybe even more in the winter. Our bodies are about 70% water, so it is important to keep hydrated. Why drink water? • Even though it feels like you aren’t sweating as much as you do during the summer, your body still loses a lot of water during the day and during all of those winter outdoor activities, so drink up. • In order for your body to fight illnesses, it has to create mucous, which requires sufficient water to produce. • Dry weather sucks up moisture quickly, which is why your lungs, throat, nose, and lips feel incredibly dry when you wake up on winter mornings.

Remember, safety is key when you choose to go outside in the winter. Check the weather forecast, dress appropriately (this includes your pets), and listen to your body. If it is too cold to function, get back inside and enjoy the indoor activities.

This project was a true community effort, and the City of Westerville thanks every photographer who helped build this remarkable collection of local beauty. The City recently called upon Westerville-area residents and visitors to submit photographs for publication in the 2016 Westerville Community Calendar. More than three dozen professional and amateur shutterbugs shared 175 photos from their personal archives spanning four categories: people, the environment, community life and architecture.

Learn more about the Uptown Plan and its recommendations online at www.westerville.org/Uptown. The Plan also provides direction for future parking developments as growth in the district continues, such as a potential parking deck and redesigned alleyways to improve traffic circulation. In early 2016 the City will collaborate with the Westerville Public Library to add approximately 60 more spaces at the south end of Uptown. ne d, all pho rwise note . * Unless othe 614 area code calls are numbers

Central to these improvements is the Uptown Master Plan, which studied Uptown parking conditions and was approved last year by Westerville City Council. Some of the parking issues addressed in the Plan include signage, peak parkingdemand times, park and walk alternatives, business parking requirements and usage patterns. The current need for parking spaces is estimated at 977. A total of 1,080 existing Uptown parking spaces have been identified. The City recently completed construction on the City Hall Parking Lot Improvement Project, which offers additional parking spaces and improved pedestrian access to State Street. New on-street parking is also available in front of Hanby Elementary, and the lots at State and Home Streets have been resurfaced to improve both the quality and quantity of spaces. With the holiday shopping season upon us, visitors are flocking to Uptown to enjoy a contemporary shopping and dining experience in a charming, historic downtown setting. With an uptick of foot and vehicular traffic expected in the coming weeks, this is a good time to review some parking-related developments underway in the area.

Courtyard Transformation TAKES SHAPE

With the City Hall parking lot project complete, work has focused on the first phase of the courtyard update which includes the north front, side and back areas of City Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bicentennial Park.

PHASE 1 This portion of the courtyard is scheduled to include a wayfinding gateway at the east and west entrances, shaded seating, art installations, a nook for casual lunches and relaxation, and bike racks. The project should be complete by spring 2016.

PHASE 2 Design plans for the City Hall Plaza and south via will begin in 2016 with construction planned for 2017. Possible updates include an extension of the brick pathway, grass area with benches for relaxing and a water feature. This portion of the project does not have a completion date as planning is in the early stages. Visit www.westerville.org for information on construction updates.

DIV ISION OF FIRE

A message from Westerville Fire Chief BRIAN MILLER

Brian Miller, Westerville Fire Chief

By now, Westeville residents may have heard or read about an impending levy for fire protection and emergency medical services for Westerville and Blendon Township. As Fire Chief, I feel it is important to reach out and explain the need for this levy, expected to be on your ballot in March 2016. I am very proud of the high quality service the Fire Division provides to the community, and we’re working hard to assure that level of service continues.

With our refurbishing of large apparatus to delay purchasing new equipment, we have been able to stretch tax payer resources. All of this was accomplished with our mission in mind, to develop innovative concepts providing cost-effective services that are responsive to the needs of the community. Now we’re facing new-generation needs and service demands that we must meet in a fiscally responsible manner. Demand for fire, rescue and EMS services has steadily grown every year for several decades and technology is ever changing. WFD has utilized every available resource to meet changing demands, which has enabled us to keep our promise of carefully managing fiscal resources from the 2010 2.6 mill levy to last a full six years. This was accomplished despite those tax revenues running more than $600,000 less per year than projected by the County.

THE FACTS OF OUR FUTURE ARE THESE: Increased Demand For Emergency Medical Services. Demand for EMS continues to steadily rise, with a 12% growth in call activity between 2008 and 2014. The Fire Service as a profession is changing, with more need and focus on multiple responsibilities to perform as firefighters, fire inspectors and emergency medical technicians. WFD’s ability to respond quickly and start a life-saving assessment, action and/or transfer is something we must protect in this community. The Westerville Division of Fire (WFD) meets National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for response times, with an average response time just under four minutes. WFD has been evolving for many years, and the decision points we face ahead suggest on going change. We began to offer a higher level of fire protection when we introduced compressed air foam systems (CAFS) in 2005, and were the first department in the state of Ohio to use C-PAP devices to treat patients with respiratory illnesses. We have also deployed a new device on our Medic vehicles which automates chest compressions on patients in cardiac arrest. WFD implemented a basic life support (BLS) squad in 2007 to reduce our use of fire trucks responding to medical emergencies. At the same time we kept advanced life support (ALS) vehicles in service more frequently.

Response Activity Changing. With construction of new homes and commercial buildings, many fire prevention strategies are in place. While nationally and locally structure fires are dropping as part of that long-term trend, the overall response activity of the Westerville Fire Division is steadily growing. This is due to an ongoing increase in calls for rescue and emergency medical services. For example, in 2014, the Fire Division responded to 562 more EMS calls than they did in 2008: an increase of 12%. Also, the Division now operates with three fewer full-time firefighter/ paramedics than authorized at the beginning of the current levy cycle due to a reduction in property tax revenues from projections. Increased Demand For Fire Inspections. As a result of our population and commercial growth, the increased demand for fire inspection services is important. We want our buildings, structures, restaurants, shopping centers and other community facilities safe for occupancy. In 2014, nearly 2,500 commercial inspections were conducted, which is a number we expect to sharply rise as new business enters the community. Disaster Preparedness. We live in a time when this is a necessity. Our preparation and training for a variety of disasters, natural or otherwise, is the responsibility of WFD as your public safety agency. In fact, the 2014 citizen survey showed that most residents are concerned about this topic and want to know the department is well-prepared.

EMS Prevention and Community Paramedicine. Westerville, like the rest of America is aging, resulting in more chronic health and age-related conditions requiring medical attention. Prevention, which is a core function on the fire side of the operation, will now begin to surface as a need and responsibility on the EMS side. This may include programs to reach out to certain vulnerable sub-populations in the community to provide education and technical assistance in health maintenance, including programs for issues such fall prevention.

WESTERVILLE POLICE HIGHLIGHT Public Safety Programs

DI VI

SIO N

OF PO LIC E

As one of the City’s public safety agencies, the Westerville Division of Police is focused on outstanding service to citizens who live, work and visit our community. That commitment involves responding to the needs of residents, preventing crime, and continually evolving to maintain the highest standards of service. This is accomplished through services provided by dedicated staff in conjunction with strong community participation and support. Did you know that the Westerville Division of Police offers the following programs?

ALARM PERMITS: Aged Equipment. Purchasing a basic fire pumper is a major investment, with engines running anywhere from $500,000 to $700,000 and ladder trucks as much as $1.2m. Our philosophy is always to refurbish apparatus when possible. However, sometimes that’s simply not possible and equipment ages out and becomes obsolete or worse yet, it becomes unsafe for active duty. Within the next six years, it will be critical to replace one engine/rescue and potentially two engines. EMS vehicles will be refurbished or replaced as needed within that cycle’s time period.

OUR NEED TO MAINTAIN SERVICE LEVELS: A 2.8 mill levy request allows us to continue to meet our mission of providing these and more services, as the profession and community continue to evolve. Residents of Westerville and Blendon Township will see one fire and emergency medical service issue on the ballot to support. The 2010 voter approved 2.6-mill operating levy for Fire and EMS operating costs was utilized the entire projected term of six years, as promised. Prior to that, the last fire levy passed in 2002 extended funding by two years beyond its proposed six-year cycle due to prudent fiscal management. Passage of 2.8 mills assures continuation of current service levels through 2022. It allows the department to maintain required staffing levels in consideration of expected growth in call volume. This funding would annually cost a homeowner approximately $98 per year for every $100,000 of market value or $8.17 per month.

In order to reduce the number of false alarms, the City of Westerville has established an Ordinance requiring anyone with an alarm system to have a permit. Applications are available online at www.westerville.org/police.

PATH WATCH: A partnership of the Westerville Division of Police and Westerville Parks & Recreation to train and aide citizen volunteers to become the “eyes and ears” along the community recreational path system. PROJECT LIFESAVER: A rapid-response program for older adults and children who may wander as part of a disorder or disease, such as Alzheimer’s disease. The system helps quickly locate individuals to their families and caregivers. SELF DEFENSE FOR WOMEN: A specialized training course to educate women on basic selfdefense skills and techniques in an effort to reduce their risk of becoming victims of violence or sexual assault. VACATION EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION:

This program was designed to provide peace of mind to traveling residents. Provide information online at www.westerville.org/police 72 hours in advance of departure. For more information on these services plus a list of additional services the Division of Police offers, visit www.westerville.org/police.

Passage of this levy is considered vital to the overall operation of the Fire Division. On behalf of the men and women of the Westerville Division of Fire, you have our commitment to excellent service with the same sound financial management that has already extended existing funding. For more information on WFD, please visit www.westerville.org/fire or call (614) 901-6601.

Year in PRE view with Parks and Recreation

This may not be a complete list of everything that 2016 will hold for Westerville Parks and Recreation, but it is a good start to the fun-packed year ahead.

The Community Center Watering Hole and Highlands Park Aquatic Center (HPAC) Underwater Egg Hunt, Zombie Halloween Pool Party, Swim with Santa, Cardboard Boat Race, Father’s Day Bike and Breakfast, Pirate and Mermaid Day, Super Soaker Seal Training were such a hit in 2015 that they will all happen again in 2016. Look for more information about these events and more in the spring and summer guides.

A New Community Event will be geared towards our barking furry friends at BARK AT THE PARK! Bring your dogs to the park to visit local veterinarian’s, rescue groups, pet stores and businesses as-well-as take part in tons of fun at the look-a-like contests, obstacle course, best trick showcase, bath station and so much more. More information will be available in the spring and summer guides. In addition to the summer production that the Parks and Recreation Civic Theatre presents, there will be added winter and senior productions offered in 2016. Information may be found in the quarterly guides and online. Look for expanded offerings at the Sounds of Summer and Family Concerts. New groups and performances will be scheduled throughout the summer.

The Community Center will again have various closures during the last portion of summer due to maintenance and cleaning. This year the Natatorium will be repainted and all slides will be rehabbed. Parks and Recreation will embark on the planning process for expansion of the Community Center and relocation of the older adult center. The community will be invited to engage in this process.

For the first time, the City of Westerville has been chosen as the state qualifying site for the National Senior Games which hosts more than 1,400 senior athletes. These games promote the health and wellness of men and women 50 years of age and better with opportunities to participate in competitive sports, artistic showcases and social events.

Parks Maintenance will once again be installing a playground. Towers Park (161 N. Spring Rd) is due to be home to a replacement playground in 2016. Towers Park will also have replacement shelter and play structure surface installed.

Additional Planning and Improvements The sports leagues that Westerville Parks and Recreation offers will grow in 2016 with the addition of a new Youth Flag Football League and new Kickball Leagues for youth and adults. Look for these leagues in the spring guide.

Improvements will be made to the shelter near the Amphitheater at Alum Creek Park North. Hoff Woods Park planning process begins for additional fields and land. Projects will go out to bid this winter with plans to begin in 2017. The Recreational Trail on Hempstead Rd will be completed to Spring Rd. Alum Creek trail to Sharon Woods Trail construction will begin.

LANDSCAPING FOR WINTER ENTHUSIASTS Tree Talk articles are presented by the Westerville Shade Tree Commission.

Winter is thought of as a dreary, colorless time when it comes to plants and other vegetation in yards. But it does not have to be. By planting a variety of bushes and even some flowering plants, your yard can be colorful through the cold months of winter and help put you in the mood for spring. Many times as we think of winter plants our minds quickly turn to conifers (plants and trees that keep their foliage year-round). While these are wonderful trees and shrubs to have in our yards, there is a wider variety that we can consider. In the article “Popular Plants, Ideas for Winter Landscapes” (landscaping.about.com) author David Beaulieu offers up a list of characteristics that plants should meet at least two of, in order to create a winning landscape for winter. 1. Contain colorful berries that attract birds for bird watching 2. Readily catches snow in its branches

THE SHADE TREE COMMISSION

3. Exhibits a delicate structure 4. Clad in a bark that is colorful or has unusual texture 5. Bears evergreen foliage 6. Has an interesting branching pattern Some of the plants that you may consider adding to your yards/gardens for winter color are: • Evergreen Holly (which can be used for indoor decoration through the Winter months)

The Shade Tree Commission meets the second Wednesday of each month, meetings are open to residents and the public. Information on the Commission can be found online at www.westerville.org/ boardsandcommissions. Residents can also contact the Parks and Urban Forest Manager at (614) 901-6598 or matthew.ulrey@westerville.org for information on trees.

• Red Twig Dogwood • Tall ornamental grasses • Bayberry (attracts birds but repels deer) • Snowdrops • Witch Hazel • Hellebores The best course of action is to ask your local gardening center for recommendations depending on the space you have and the amount of light and water that the plants will receive. Also remember, if you are planting trees or bushes you should call 8-11 about a week before you plan to dig so that the utility lines (if underground) can be marked, saving you from costly and potentially dangerous accidents. 14

WESTERVILLE RECEIVES URBAN FORESTRY ACCREDITATION The City of Westerville, Ohio is the latest community to join a prestigious group of communities accredited by the Society of Municipal Arborists (SMA). SMA Accreditation is the highest honor for municipal urban forestry programs. To obtain this honor takes a professional and compassionate approach to tree care. SMA accredited programs must have an ISA Certified Arborist on staff, an approved Local Forest Master Plan, a Tree City USA growth award certification, show private contract preference for TCIA accredited tree care companies, adhere to ANSI standards for safety and performance, and follow SMA’s Code of Ethics. Communities with a growing appreciation for the value of green infrastructure are taking steps to maintain their trees. Unlike other parts of a city’s infrastructure an urban forest can actually increase in value. A healthy urban forest provides many benefits for cities, some of which include: beautification, reduction of the urban heat island effect, reduction of storm water runoff, reduction of air pollution, and reduction of energy costs through increased shade over buildings, enhancement of property values, improved wildlife habitat, and mitigation of overall urban environmental impact. Furthermore, research has shown that city trees can improve real estate values, attract shoppers, improve worker productivity, reduce crime, and improve children’s school performance. ABOUT SMA The Society of Municipal Arborists (www.urban-forestry. com) is a not-for-profit international organization of municipal arborists, urban and community foresters, members of tree boards, tree wardens, consultants, municipal officials, and students who are involved in the professional management of trees where over 114 million people live, work, and play. SMA leads the world in building the confidence, competence, and camaraderie of the family of professionals who create and sustain community forests.

The Arts in Westerville

ARBOR DAY

ART AND PHOTO CONTEST TO BEGIN EARLY The annual Arbor Day Poster contest continues to be a huge success in the Westerville School District and over the past couple of years has gone through some changes. Previously open to only 5th grade Westerville School District students, the contest is now open to all Westerville students in 3rd through 5th grade that attend either private or public school and those that are homeschooled. The 2016 contest will have an additional change plus some special judging; entries will now be accepted starting on December 1, 2015 and final judging will take place by top tree professionals and arborists from across the state of Ohio at this year’s Tree City USA awards on April 21, 2016. “Allowing students more time to plan, photograph, draw or paint the perfect entry and allowing teachers and parents time to add it to their calendars is very important,” said Matt Ulrey, Westerville Parks and Recreation’s, Parks and Urban Forest Manager. “Our hope is that more students will be able to get involved.” Also in 2016 there will not be a theme as in previous years. “We would like to see how each student is inspired by trees without a restricted direction,” said Ulrey. Additional information regarding entrance and rules can be found at www.westerville.org/urbanforestry.

Senior Center Members PROVE THEY HAVE AN EYE FOR PHOTOGRAPHY

Westerville Senior Center members have some amazing photographic talent and can capture some of the most iconic Westerville landmarks in an exceptional way. “We had 16 photographers enter 43 images for the 2014 contest,” said Chris Shirring, Westerville Senior Center Program Manager. “Entries were accepted beginning in November 2014 with the winner announced and images hung in January 2015.” This is the second year the Senior Center has conducted this contest with its members and it doesn’t seem to be slowing any time soon. There are only a couple of restrictions; you must be a Westerville Senior Center member and images must be of Westerville locations, preferable without people. “We have a group of very talented photographers at the Senior Center,” Shirring said. “It is a great way for them to be noticed and they get to keep the photos after their year has concluded.” If you have not seen the striking black and white photos at the south end of the Community Center, plan to right away because the current photos will be removed and new winners will be hung in their place in January 2016. If you are a Westerville Senior Center member, there is still time to get your photo into the contest. Call (614) 901-6560 for more information.

Residents of The City of Westerville are invited to join Franklin Soil and Water Conservation District and Westerville for a Rain Garden/Rain Barrel workshop. Residents will learn the benefits of rain gardens and rain barrels, how to install/design them, and maintenance. The rain barrels are part of a City sponsored program in coordination with the Green Spot Rain Barrel Program that provides storm water education in combination with access to low-cost rain barrels. Residents interested in only the rain garden aspect of the workshop or just learning about rain barrels (not purchasing a barrel) may attend for free and will get a voucher to use for purchase of a low-cost rain barrel in case they become interested. Residents interested in purchasing a 45-gallon, terracotta-colored rain barrel will pay $50 for the workshop and can take their rain barrel home that morning. One rain barrel is allotted per household. Westerville is also offering a limited number of cost-share grants to reimburse residents for the costs of plants, compost and mulch they use to install a rain garden at their home. Applications for the cost-share program will be available at the workshop. Please call (614) 486-9613 to register.

SWIM WITH SANTA INCLUDES FITNESS AND FUN In 2010, the City of Westerville Parks and Recreation Department started a new holiday tradition that is now entering its’ sixth year: Swim with Santa! On the Sunday before Thanksgiving, Santa and his elves need to take a break from building toys for all the good boys and girls around the world and go for a swim,” said Bill Plessinger, Westerville Parks and Recreation Aquatic Manager. “Luckily for us, he chooses to visit the Watering Hole at the Westerville Community Center.” Now an annual pilgrimage, Santa has gone swimming with over 600 tots and families from Westerville, spreading holiday cheer to young and old. Santa is usually seen as a jolly old elf, but the Santa that comes to Westerville is lean and svelte, promoting fitness as well as holiday spirit. The program features a family swim time, the grand entrance of Santa down the tube slide with a giant candy cane, and of course, water exercise time. All while under the watchful eye of the lifeguard elves.

AQUATICS “Santa is all about fitness for most of the year. He only eats treats on one special night.” - Bill Plessinger Aquatic Manager

One of the highlights of the event is getting a photo with Santa. Here the family can get together for that perfect shot all while still in the water. Photos may be picked up at the end of the evening. After the program, the lifeguard elves email the photographs to participants to use for Christmas cards or share with family. (Please add you email address when registering.) This year Santa and his elves visit the Watering Hole on Sunday, November 29 at 6:15 pm. You can register for Swim with Santa today at www.westerville.org/registration with activity #411211-01. Space is limited and filling up fast!

INDOOR SNOWDAY THE PERFECT PLAN OF ATTACK FOR PARENTS ACROSS THE AREA!

When the snow starts falling and the weatherman predicts the storm to produce more than just inches, you can almost hear the collective cries of joy from kids around the area, and the sighs of terror from adults who know they’re going to have children at home to occupy. Somehow the excitement of getting “snow ready” seems to last for only a portion of the day, leaving kids indoors and parents the job of keeping them busy for hours. So how should a parent prepare for this day? Whether there is snow on the ground or sun in the sky bring your brood to the Indoor Snowday at the Westerville Community Center. Kids ages 3- 10 years old can “Drop In” and have a blast without getting into all that snow gear. And parents may learn a thing or two about how to keep those kids from being bored during the next day off of school.

Scan this QR code with your smartphone or camera phone to be instantly connected to the Programs/ Classes page of the website.

CONTINUOUS LEARNING “This class is meant to have fun with snow, but not be in the snow.” said MJ Smith, Recreation Supervisor with the Westerville Parks and Recreation Department. How does that happen? Kids will enjoy time having and indoor snowball fight, build snowmen and igloos, decorate snowflakes and experiment with fake snow, all while being indoors at the Community Center using items around your house every day. And what snowday is complete without storytime and hot chocolate. “The “snowball fight” room is definitely the most popular,” said Smith, “due to the open-ended, creative play that even the parents get in on.” Indoor Snowday is scheduled for January 22 from 6-8 p.m., which should be plenty of time for parents to make a plan of attack for the coming snowdays of winter. For more information on this class see page 39.

THEATRE PERFORMANCES BRING CREATIVITY TO LIFE The City of Westerville is no stranger to theatre. In the past three years the Westerville Parks and Recreation Civic Theatre has offered large performance opportunities for all ages of both actors and backstage crews. “Every year, we are growing our theater program and aiming to bring a professional and affordable experience to not only theater patrons, but to those participating in the production,” said Derrick McPeak, Westerville Parks & Recreation Program Leader. But how do youth in the area get interested in drama and theatre to begin with? For many years the Parks and Recreation Department has offered drama classes to youth around the area. “Drama can be a life-altering activity,” said Laura Horton, Program Supervisor for Westerville Parks and Recreation. “It can give a child the drive to come out of their shell, give them a voice and an outlet to be creative.”

CREATIVE ARTS This winter season, youth ages 5-15 have the opportunity to perform in a classic, with a bit of a twist. Charlie and the Hot Chocolate Factory is a seven week program taught by Candace Mazur Darman, where participants can portray anyone from an Oompa Loompa to Charlie himself! The cast even creates their own costumes in class. “Taking part in a drama class is the perfect start for youth,” said Horton. “There are no auditions and they do not need any prior experience, just the drive to be creative and have fun.” For more information on Charlie and the Hot Chocolate Factory, see page 41. If you are interested in the Westerville Parks and Recreation Civic Theatre, see information about the next performance, A Miracle on 34th Street, on page 14 and watch for information on upcoming auditions and performances in 2016.

STAYING HEALTHY AT ALL AGES The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that young people aged 6-17 years participate in at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily. With improvements in technology and increasing screen time, this age group is becoming less and less active each year. The Westerville Parks and Recreation Department hopes to encourage parents to exercise with their children to strengthen the need and education of why it is important to stay active. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, adolescents are encouraged to participate in supervised strength training and aerobic programs as long as the equipment, resistance and intensity of cardiovascular conditioning is appropriate to their age. The classes offer through Westerville Parks and Recreation cover a broad spectrum of formats that emphasize all components of fitness. Group fitness classes provide health benefits not only to individuals but families as well. Safety comes first and anyone under the age of 16 must have an adult enroll and accompany them to class, fostering family quality time. “With this shift and lowering the minimum age of many of our group exercise classes we hope to make fitness more accessible to our community families as we continue this pursuit for a healthier active community,” said Megan Arnold, Program Manager with Westerville Parks and Recreation.

HEALTHY ACTIVE LIFESTYLE Rachel Headings, fitness instructor with Parks and Recreation, passionately leads by example demonstrating an attitude that fitness can be fun and family oriented. Headings teaches Zumba, Hip Hop, Piloxing and a new class Piloxing Barre. She developed a love for barre inspired workouts over the past two years with participation in many different classes. “Learning different class formats challenges me to stay sharp,” says Headings, “and the Piloxing Barre program is a great toning and strengthening complement to cardiovascular classes.” Most barre programs offer similar benefits and movement styles as they are based on traditional ballet. The unique aspect to Piloxing Barre is the fusion of boxing with ballet-inspired Pilates movements with an added bonus of weighted gloves that intensify the workout. Headings favorite part of teaching this format is to feel the energy from the class and “To see the excitement when participants push themselves with some pretty intense strengthening and toning movements.” Newcomers ages 14 and up are always welcome, not only will you better your health but you will create needed family time and enjoy doing it!
