Alum Creek Park North 221 W Main St

Since that time, Westerville Parks & Recreation has been a four-time NRPA (National Recreation & Parks Association) national gold medal recipient and accredited by CAPRA (Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies) in addition to offering programs and classes to City and area residents of all ages.

From 1966 to today, Westerville has seen the growth of 27 parks, six facilities, one outdoor waterpark, five wetland/greenways/nature areas and more than 29 miles of recreational trails. Almost 1,000 programs are offered each year for all ages and abilities, including everything from Tiny Top Chefs to Silver Splash Cardio and Tone.

This is thanks to the resident support and passage of the PROS 2000 and 2020 strategic plans dedicating a one quarter of one percent income tax revenue dedicated to the development of the parks system.

Whether you’re looking to walk, bicycle, kayak, swim, play a field sport, picnic, take a class, learn to paint, host a party or any number of other actives, Westerville Parks & Recreation offers ample opportunities for all of this and so much more.

In celebration of this major event, the City of Westerville would like to invite residents, friends and families to its 50th Anniversary event this fall at Alum Creek Park. Join us Thursday, September 15 for vendors, games, music, activities, food and more.

Congratulations to the 2016

Champions of Westerville The Westerville Champion program provides recognition of outstanding residents whose service and activities significantly enhanced the quality of life in Westerville.

FRANCIS ‘RED’ BAILEY Serving in the United States Navy

during World War II, as an attorney and senior partner at Metz and Bailey law firm, and an advocate for Otterbein athletics, Francis ‘Red’ Bailey had an undeniable impact on our nation and the Westerville community. From navigating ships across the ocean to displaying his ethics and high moral code, Bailey proved his willingness to step boldly into community service and leadership, becoming known for his honesty and fairness.

Bailey was active in the community, mentoring many to follow his example in honorable business practices and concern for family and community. He strived to maintain a level of excellence at Otterbein University, his alma mater, where he served as Trustee of the Vida S. Clements Foundation for the purpose of improving the lives of Otterbein students. Bailey was also a member of the Otterbein “O” Club and the Otterbein Alumni Association.

His primary focus was supporting Otterbein athletics to attract people of character to the college and community.

Bailey considered Otterbein as part of his personal legacy.

He left instructions that memorial contributions be made to the Otterbein College football stadium fund in his honor.

MARY BAILEY Mary spent a considerable portion of her life advocating for the needs and rights of others within her community. Her legacy is best seen at the Westerville Senior Center and its programs and services designed to better quality of life for older adults in Westerville. Bailey was active on the Westerville Parks and Recreation Building Committee, Anchor Club, Still Going Strong, Meet to Eat and the Needs Evaluation Committee for Seniors. Through these organizations, Bailey helped provide Westerville seniors opportunities to travel, have fellowship with one another, share a meal and raise funds for a Senior Center bus. She continuously worked to ensure solutions were found to meet the needs of the older adult community.

Additionally, Mary volunteered at Concord Counseling and was an active member of First Presbyterian Church, where she served as a Welcome Wagon Hostess, member of Session, taught Sunday School, and was the president of the Mary Martha Circle.

RICHARD (DICK) RANO As the first director of the Westerville Parks and Recreation Department, Rano worked to claim hundreds of acres of land for use as public parks, increasing land acquisition from 30 acres to 339 acres. His effort and advocacy contributed to the awarding of the 1974 National Gold Medal Award for excellence in parks and recreation management from the National Recreation and Parks Association. (NRPA). Rano also took part in planning and acquiring land for the construction of “The Pool” at Highlands, known today as Highlands Park Aquatic Center. He led the development of Metzger Park and Hoff Woods Park, the addition to the Westerville Senior Center, and planning and oversight for the Westerville Bike & Walk Route. Rano’s vision recognized the importance and need for a diverse set of recreational activities, which included arts, culture and music. As one example of this legacy, the Summer Concert Series at Alum Creek Park North Amphitheater still takes place today, entertaining hundreds of Westerville residents and visitors free of charge. Rano was actively involved in the Ohio Parks Recreation Association (OPRA) and founded the Association of Central Ohio Recreation Executives (ACORN). His impact and leadership in Westerville planted our vision as existing as a “City within a Park.”

WESTERVILLE WELCOMES

the Aloft Hotel

Construction is now underway on both sides of town for two new hotels. A 224-room Marriott Renaissance Hotel and Conference Center, anchoring new development at Westar Place in the northwestern quadrant of the City, broke ground last year. On June 22, City officials, developers and partners broke ground on a four-story, 101-room Aloft Hotel that will rise at the site formerly occupied by Knights Inn on Heatherdown Drive. Construction of this latest private-sector investment in the South State Street corridor complements extensive public infrastructure and roadway improvements recently completed near S. State Street and I-270.

A rendering of the Westerville Aloft Hotel, expected to open next September.

This property is the Aloft’s debut in Central Ohio. A Starwood Hotel and Resorts brand, Aloft is expanding in the state of Ohio with two current properties (Beachwood, Cleveland) and three sites under construction (Columbus, North Olmsted and Westerville). The Westerville location has moved up its expected completion date, and expects to open in September 2017.

“Westerville is thrilled to be able to offer this sophisticated, stylish concept in hotel design to our residents, businesses and visitors,” said Westerville City Council Chairman Craig Treneff. “Aloft is bringing even more to the South State Street corridor. This is the type of investment that will keep Westerville thriving for years to come, as a destination for both business and tourism.”

The Aloft is described as a boutique hotel brand. It focuses on innovative, modern amenities, including launching the “world’s first emoji-only room service menu,” mobile phone app keyless room entry and robot butler service (select locations). The Westerville location will feature the Aloft’s signature “W XYZ” bar and lounge.

This project was made possible, in part, with the Central Ohio Community Improvement Corporation (COCIC). COCIC provides resource for communities in Central Ohio to support local redevelopment through the elimination of blighted and vacant properties. Thanks to this partnership, the City was able to purchase and demolish the blighted Knights Inn, ultimately attracting a $15 million investment from CRM Companies to develop the Aloft proposal.

Westerville City Manager David Collinsworth says it was part of setting the stage for new private sector investment to match the corridor’s upgraded and sophisticated character.

Westerville officials at the Aloft groundbreaking on June 22. From left to right: Jason Bechtold, Economic Development Administrator; David Collinsworth, City Manager; Craig Treneff, City Council Chairman; Julie Colley, Assistant City Manager; Larry Jenkins, City Council Vice Chairman; Kathy Cocuzzi, Mayor; John Bokros, Vice Mayor; and Diane Fosselman, Council member.

“Our effort to update and transform South State Street dates back more than 10 years, when the City first began to visualize infrastructure, traffic and land use improvements,” said Collinsworth. “A hotel was an important element for the realization of our vision. This has been the site’s historic use, which will continue. When the public and private sectors work together, we are able to implement advances that position our communities to meet the needs of future generations.”

PROPER CAR SEAT INSPECTION Installation Key to Safety

Nothing is more important than the little riders in our vehicles, and proper car seat installation and inspection is key to safety in the event of a car accident.

According to Safekids Worldwide, 73% of car seats are not used or installed correctly. And, a properly installed child safety seat can reduce the risk of death by as much as 71%. Employees and volunteers with Westerville Police, Fire, and Emergency Communications provide professional car seat installations and inspections every Monday at Fire Station 111 (400 W. Main Street) as a public service for parents, guardians and other caregivers. Scheduling is available by appointment only and can be accessed online by visiting: www.westerville.org/ child-seat-inspection A few things to remember when it comes to your child’s car seat: • Car seats typically expire within six years of their manufacturing date.

• Car seats should be replaced if they are in a vehicle that has been involved in a crash.

• Car seats should be appropriate for a child’s age, weight, and height. Check manufacturer information in comparison to your child’s stats.

• Children are precious cargo! It is recommended that they ride in the backseat until they are 13 years old.

• Infants and toddlers should be kept in a rear-facing car seat for as long as possible. The age of two is usually a good time to switch to a forward-facing car seat.

• Harnesses should be snug on the child’s shoulders. The harness clip should be at armpit level.

10

These and more tips and safety recommendations are available from your certified car seat inspectors. This service is offered free of charge for the public. For additional information visit www.westerville.org/child-seat-inspection.

THE BACKYARD TREEHOUSE Tree Talk articles are presented by the Westerville Shade Tree Commission.

For children, the prospect of a backyard tree house is a fun-filled play place; an imagination station where nature and play meet. For many adults, treehouses bring back a sense of nostalgia and cherished childhood memories.

In the more established neighborhoods in Westerville, treehouses dot the landscape where mature, strong and tall trees live. If a treehouse project is on your warmweather to-do list, there are a number of considerations to keep in mind before building.

First, safety is key. Quality construction for safe use is clearly among the chief considerations for the young ones who will be climbing on, in and around a treehouse.

While safe construction and use is critical, it is also important to keep the health and long-term vitality of the host tree in mind so that the structure properly minimizes any permanent damage or progressive deterioration.

When planning the design and while building, there are several things to that will help protect the integrity of the tree. Bark protects the living, growing layers from attacks by bacteria and fungi, which cause rotting and can kill the tree or decrease its strength. Damaged bark increases the chances for infection. Never cut pieces out of the tree to make supports better fit the structure.

Rather, redesign the tree house if needed.

Nails and screws should not be used to attach supports to the tree. These cause unnecessary holes and may not hold up over time. Large lag bolts, also known as “tabs� or treehouse attachment bolts, put into predrilled holes are the proper way to create structure supports. Ropes and cables are other materials that may seem to be easier to use for support, but they can cause significant damage as the tree grows.

When done properly, the tree will grow a barrier layer over bolts to protect the area that was drilled. This will actually strengthen the tree house supports over time.

OTHER TIPS TO REMEMBER ARE: Put the load over the base of the tree, not to one side.

Place gaps between any platform and the trunk of the tree. This will permit the tree room to grow.

Allow 18 inches of vertical space and 12 inches of horizontal space between bolts.

Consider using ground supports to help reduce or eliminate stress on the tree.

Increased walking around the base of the tree may compress the soil, leading to root damage.

The Arts in Westerville A CHRISTMAS CAROL A LIVE RADIO PLAY In December, Westerville’s fictional radio station, KPNF, will be back to broadcast another holiday classic: “A Christmas Carol: A Live Radio Play.” The Charles Dickens holiday classic comes to life as a live 1940s radio broadcast, complete with vintage commercials for fruitcake (“extra-fancy”) along with the magic of live sound effects and musical underscoring.

A handful of actors bring dozens of characters to the stage as the familiar story unfolds. Three ghosts take Ebenezer Scrooge on a thrilling journey to teach him the true meaning of Christmas. This radio play is a charming take on a family favorite that will leave no one saying “Bah Humbug!” Join us for these two classic productions that are sure to provide plenty of fun and entertainment for the whole family. See you at the show.

All performances take place at Westerville South High School, 303 S. Otterbein Ave.

WESTERVILLE TRADITIONS INCLUDE AQUATICS

AQUATICS

In Westerville, aquatics programming is not limited to simply splashing in an indoor and/or outdoor pool. Westerville Parks & Recreation aquatics have combined the best of traditional uses, like water-based fitness, swim lessons and summer swim teams, with fun festivities like cardboard boat racing, holiday pool parties and inflatable obstacle courses.

“Highlands and the Community Center pools are my favorite,” she said. “The pools are warm and I get to see my friends.”

Anne and AJ Keir, ages 10 and 7 respectively, have spent most of their young lives enjoying these programs.

From the annual “Doggie Paddle” to “Swim with Santa,” the siblings know there is always something fun for the family, including the pets, at the Westerville pools.

“I really like going down the awesome slides at Highlands each summer now that I am tall enough.”

Anne is now in her fifth year on the Highland Otters Swim Team.

AJ is now in his third year on the Otters Swim Team. Last year he participated in the Kids Tryathlon at Highlands Park Aquatic Center (HPAC) for the first time and says he will definitely be competing again.

The summer also means the return of the annual Super Soaker Seal Training program at HPAC. “We get to use the water balloon slingshot from the top of the slide tower,” said AJ. Both say they are looking forward to this class at the Community Center Watering Hole this fall.

The fun at both Westerville pools continues this fall.

Don’t miss the Kids Tryathlon, Zombie Halloween Pool Party, Cardboard Boat Race and much more.

You can find most of these classes in the Community Event section and swim lessons on pages 32-34. Visit www.westerville.org/registration to register.

“Indoor FREE playground for kids.

Perfect place to take your kids when weather doesn’t cooperate. Also a great indoor pool with a small admission fee.”

- Graciela G.

WESTERVILLE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT • (614) 901-6500 • www.wester ville.org

NEW WAYS TO TEACH (AND LEARN WITH) YOUR INFANT OR TODDLER For more than a year, infants and toddlers have had the opportunity to develop early communication skills using play and sign language together in the fun and entertaining class “Let’s Play.” Each week at the Westerville Community Center, a focus on a different activity or toy theme (books, music, balls, pretend play, bubbles, etc) paired with baby sign language helps parents/caregivers and baby/toddler communicate during play time.

“I provide handouts with ideas for play and sound practice at home based on each theme.” said Emily Ferjencik, a pediatric speech therapist, mother of two and Let’s Play instructor.

With each class, there are some group activities as well as free play. Ferjencik spends time getting to know each child and answers questions for parents.

“The goal is for children to interact, have fun,” she said.

“And, we want parents and caregivers to practice at home how we play in class.”

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

CONTINUOUS LEARNING Ferjencik, believes play is the best way to learn, interact, and communicate with your baby or toddler. She has practiced play-based speech therapy with young children in groups or one-on-one in their homes and in clinic-based settings for over a year.

Ferjencik offers a Top Five list of reasons parents should consider “Let’s Play:” 1. Babies and toddlers ages 3-21 months like to interact with other babies and toddlers.

2. Baby sign language is learned to help with early communications between babies and their caregivers.

3. Parents and caregivers have already mastered diaper changes, feeding and making silly faces. Now check out another idea of how to play with baby.

4. Parents and caregivers value the program’s emphasis on early interaction, communication, play and silliness.

5. Bubbles, music, books, parachutes, balls and singing are all fun activities incorporated into the structured play program.

Both day and evening classes are offered September, October, and November-December and are generally divided into baby and toddler groups separately. For more information, see page 37.

CREATIVE ARTS DANCE / COOKING

YOUTH SPORTS According to an article in ESPN Magazine (July 2013), almost 21.5 million kids between the ages of 6 - 17 play on a team sport. These sports range from soccer to swimming to lacrosse for both girls and boys. Baseball and soccer are usually a child’s first experience with a team sport, but by age 9, basketball becomes the most popular competitive and noncompetitive sport for both boys and girls.

By age 11, football becomes a large interest for boys, while volleyball sees more girls. But, neither come close to the popularity of basketball.

HEALTHY ACTIVE LIFESTYLE

The City of Westerville’s Bantam Basketball program concentrates on this age range, offering a noncompetitive learning opportunity for kids in grades 4 - 8. Utilizing a volunteer coaching staff, young athletes are taught the fundamentals of basketball including ball-handling techniques, dribbling, shooting, teamwork, team strategy and sportsmanship.

“It is important that kids get this opportunity,” said Darcy Baxter, Sports Program Manager for Westerville Parks and Recreation. “For many, there may not be another way for them to learn the rules and sport of basketball with the emphasis we put on sportsmanship.”

For those with younger or older children, Pee Wee Basketball is an instructional, non-competitive class for second and third grades. The High School Basketball League offers opportunities for grades 9-12.
