SAFE PASSAGE FOR WESTERVILLE BIKERS AND WALKERS The newest addition to the Westerville B&W Recreational Path System, the Westerville B&W Bridge, was dedicated August 1, 2014, becoming the first bridge over a roadway in Westerville.

The 106-foot, 27-ton bridge is steel-trussed and includes a wooden deck that is expected to last 40-years with no chemical treatments. The City of Westerville received a $500,000 grant through the Clean Ohio Trail Fund and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to help build the bridge.

More than 100,000 people have crossed the bridge on their journey throughout the City and along the Ohio to Erie Trail since its opening, with the highest number traveling in the 7 p.m. hour.

Construction of the bridge over County Line Road is just one of the many ways the City is promoting safety on the pathways. Parks and Recreation has partnered with

the Westerville Division of Police to create two videos to educate the community on safe biking. Topics include tips for kids, using the path system, riding on the road and crossing intersections. Be sure to check out the Spring 2015 Guide for more details and visit www.westerville. org/parks to find links to the videos.

Best Hometown

2014 Top

Community Center

The City of Westerville has been named one of Ohio Magazine’s Best Hometowns for 2014-2015.

Every year, Ohio Magazine honors five communities across the state for their livability, as measured by education, parks and recreation, arts and entertainment offerings, services and, most important, citizen involvement.

The 2015 Best Hometowns meet and surpass these criteria. To determine the honorees, Ohio Magazine solicited nominations and conducted site visits across the state. The editors evaluated the nominees in six categories — Community Spirit, Education, Entertainment, Health and Safety, Business Environment, and Culture and Heritage — to help finalize their selections.

Each of the Best Hometowns are featured in the November issue of the magazine, showing readers unique places to visit and ways to enjoy each location. Visit www.ohiomagazine.com for additional information.

Through their weekly publications and website, ThisWeek Community News asked readers to vote for their favorites from 11 main categories including: Animals, Automotive, Clothing and Accessories, Education, Food & Drink, Health & Beauty, Home & Garden, Insurance, Real Estate, Shopping, Sports & Recreation and 122 subcategories. The top three choices in each category are considered best in Reader’ Choice.

The votes have been tallied and the Westerville Community Center was voted as one of three top Community or Rec Centers in the area.

Each of the winners will be highlighted in the November 6 edition of the ThisWeek Community Newspapers. Visit www.thisweeknews.com for the full list of winners.

CITY OF WESTERVILLE

WELCOMES NEW DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SERVICE AND FIRE CHIEF Kevin Weaver has been named the Director of Public Service replacing Frank Wiseman who retired after 31 years in the public service industry.

Weaver is a licensed Civil Professional Engineer (P.E.) and Professional Surveyor (P.S.) with more than 12 years of civil service.

“Westerville has a tradition of attracting high-level talent to manage our departments and upholding our commitment to service excellence,” said David Collinsworth, Westerville City Manager. “Kevin demonstrated a strong track record and fit the position requirements very well. He will be an outstanding addition to our leadership team and will help ensure our mission of providing exemplary public services to the citizens of Westerville.”

Brian Miller has been named Fire Chief replacing Chief Bernie Ingles who retired after 37 years in the fire service.

Chief Miller is a 15-year veteran of the Westerville Division of Fire where he served as Deputy Chief and Chief Fire Marshal.

“Brian has a lifelong passion for the fire service that is genuinely remarkable. In a sense, he has been preparing for and working toward this role his entire career,” said David Collinsworth, Westerville City Manager. “Residents of Westerville and Blendon Township will be well served through his leadership and dedication.”

City Crews Ready for WINTER WEATHER Ever wonder what goes into snow removal for the winter months? The City of Westerville’s Public Service Department is geared up and ready for this winter with more than 4,500 tons of salt and 6,000 gallons of brine.

“Our season runs from November through March or April of the following year,” says new Public Service Director Kevin Weaver.

“An event begins when forecasts or field reports indicate that hazardous conditions are imminent and runs until the weather clears and the streets are passable.”

All city streets are plowed and salted throughout the winter season as needed with over 11,200 miles of plowing performed last season. But the streets are not the only areas plowed. The Westerville Parks Maintenance staff is also prepared for clearing snow from all three fire stations, recreational facilities (Community Center, Senior Center, Everal), WeConnect Data Center, Schrock Rd and Main St bridges, select paths and many City-owned property sidewalks.

Snow Shoveling

Safety

1

Clear a path down the middle of the driveway

2

Push the snow towards the outer edge

4

Spread ice melting solution across driveway to prevent ice

3ft

The optimal throwing distance is about 3-feet.

“We help supplement the Public Service Department with personnel and equipment in order to speed the clearing of public streets,” says Parks and Facilities Superintendent Doug Vineyard, “Staff also clears snow from the path system that are walking routes to schools.”

THE FOLLOWING IS THE HIERARCHY OF PATH CLEARING FOR THE CITY: Paths that serve as walking routes to schools.

Paths that serve a transportation purpose (routes that readily connect residential areas, commercial areas and public facilities).

Paths that are recreational (routes that are primarily internal park paths). Not all Westerville parks have their paths cleared of snow.

Paths are cleared of snow only after City facilities have been completed to a point that personnel and equipment have become available. As with streets, it is important to remember that no paths will be cleared until there has been a total snow accumulation of two inches or more.

For more information on plowing in the City, visit www.westerville.org.

3

Repeat on the opposite side of driveway

Don’t forget Shovel Often shoveling 1-inch of snow four times a day is much easier than shoveling 4-inches once a day.

Lift and bend with your legs, not your back.

Before you start to shovel, be sure to warm-up and stretch to prevent aches and pains later.

Make sure you are prepared with a full water bottle and be sure to hydrate every 15-minutes.

WINTER TREE DAMAGE

Tree Talk articles are presented by the Westerville Shade Tree Commission.

Last winter was particularly cold and rough on many types of vegetation, including trees. If the predictions are correct, there may be similar weather this year as well. Colder temperatures and incorrect protection for trees can cause damage that, in some cases, may lead to the tree needing to be replaced. The following describes some of the damage you might see and some ways to avoid this happening to your trees.

FROST CRACK This can impact trees that grow and are subject to early or late freezing. It also can cause damage to existing wounds on trees through repeated freezing and thawing.

CHEMICAL BURNING Items used to melt ice on driveways and sidewalks may cause damage to trees, especially salts.

Symptoms can show in spring and summer and include branches dying back, leaves turning brown (including on evergreens) and leaf scorch. This is a factor in poorly drained soils where the salt collects.

FREEZING Roots becoming frozen can damage or kill a sapling or shallow rooted tree. Young trees are especially vulnerable after a spring warm up followed by a period of freezing. Repeated freezing and thawing of the ground can also cause frost heaving, where the roots are forced out of the ground.

Maintaining a layer of mulch around the base of the tree will help with several of the common ailments that trees are faced with during the winter. Mulch acts as insulation, reducing the chances of frost heaving and frozen roots. Frost Crack is difficult to avoid, but the chance of it can be lessened by planting locally adapted trees that will hold up against the elements, covering trees if frost is expected and avoiding nitrogen fertilizer near the end of the growing season. Damage caused by salt can be deterred by using materials safe for vegetation or by ensuring that the soil near the trees drains properly.

The Shade Tree Commission meets the second Wednesday of each month and meetings are open for citizens to attend. Information on the Commission can be found within the Parks and Recreation web-page on the City of Westerville website at www.westerville.org. Residents can also contact the Parks and Urban Forest Manager at (614) 901-6598 or matthew.ulrey@westerville. org for information on trees.

SAVE THE DATE! The 2015 Landscape Seminar is in the works. Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 28, 2015 to join fellow residents at the Westerville Community Center to learn more about plants and projects for your yard. See page 22 for additional information.

Olde Town Park Playground IS OPEN

Parks Maintenance staff has finished the installation of the newest replacement playground for the City of Westerville at Olde Town Park, 108 Old County Line Road.

Local residents are able to enjoy this playground complete with climbing wall, three slides, music station, monkey bars, swings and more.

WESTERVILLE DIVISION OF POLICE

PARTNER WITH NEXTDOOR

Do you know your neighbors by name? Do you know if there are children or parents living in their homes or even what animals they may have? More than 28%* of the U.S. population does not and of that 28%, most do not know what events will be taking place or if a crime has occurred. That is one of the reasons why the Westerville Division of Police has partnered with Nextdoor (www.nextdoor.com), a free, private online resource for communities designed to pair social networking and crime prevention at the neighborhood level.

Nextdoor was created for neighbors to get to know each other and talk about issues that matter in their local community. In partnering with Nextdoor, the City of Westerville Division of Police is able to communicate with the City’s 42 neighborhood watch groups through technology to build stronger and safer neighborhoods. The department is also able to post information, such as safety tips and crime alerts for the members. Communities are not only using Nextdoor for crime prevention, but also for organizing block watch activities and finding trustworthy resources, such as house sitters, babysitters and more.

“We continue to have success and good participation with our neighborhood watch program. The key to that success is maintaining lines of communications with the community,” said Westerville Crime Prevention Specialist Preston Tartt.

“Nextdoor is another tool we can use, especially since we have several already plugged in and using the program.”

Nextdoor is free for residents. Visit www.nextdoor.com and enter an address to get started.

Internet Safety:

A guide to keeping you and your family safe while online

Have you set your computer’s security program to ¯ regularly update? Do you have an external backup source? Are you tempted by emails or advertisements with special discount offers? When shopping online, do you check a website’s security status before entering your payment information? Have you customized your privacy settings for your social networking accounts like Facebook, FaceTime and Skype?

When it comes to internet safety, there is a lot to consider.

PASSWORDS

A strong password may be difficult to remember, but it will help keep your information safe while online.

Never use personal information or descriptions of your favorite pastimes (ex. runner1,) as a password. Use a ¯random, longer password (at least 12 characters) mixed with both upper and lowercase letters and numbers.

Do not use this same password for each account. There are many software programs available that will encrypt and store passwords for you.

WHAT PROTECTION DO YOU NEED?

The best defense against Internet threats is good antivirus software which can help protect you from infected email attachments, corrupt websites and spyware. Regularly restarting your computer, installing software updates and backing up your computer on an external device will also help.

EMAIL TIPS FOR SCAMS AND SPAM

We all have received suspicious emails. Sometimes they even come from friends or relatives email addresses.

Become familiar with these tips to help avoid scams and spam.

Use a spam blocker to reduce the amount received.

Don’t reply or click a link to “unsubscribe” to spam.

Turn off images. An email can contain images spammers can track.

Turn off your preview pane (if your email service has one).

Regularly check your spam folder. Sometimes spam blockers block legitimate emails.

Don’t open any attachment that you weren’t expecting. Even if an email looks like it’s from someone you know it may have been automatically sent to you by a virus.

STAYING SAFE WHILE BROWSING

New threats are constantly being introduced, so it is important to keep your browser updated. Your browser usually notifies you when it has a new version or when you have updates waiting to be installed.

Additional ways to protect your computer from malicious sites: Be cautious of free software downloads Avoid illegal downloads Use private browsing Delete browsing history Clear cookies often Use pop-up blockers

PROTECTING YOUR FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

Before sending any sensitive or financial information online, check that your browser’s security symbol (lock symbol) is showing indicating you are on a secure site.

SMART SOCIAL NETWORKING AND COMMUNICATION TIPS

Social networking and sharing information and images on the web is popular with all ages. It is important to remember the following in order to stay smart online: What you share on social media can be traced back to you, so be smart about what you are putting out there. Remember, what you post today can be found for years to come and can affect your job, family and friends.

Sharing personal information like your birthday, address or place of work can give cybercriminals what they need to break into your house or even your bank account.

Many commercial and social media sites collect data about your online activity and preferences, then share this data with additional sites.

Some websites and mobile apps have a feature called geolocation, which uses GPS to share your current location with other people. This can provide criminals with information about your whereabouts. Disabling this or only sharing with people you know will help keep you safe.

WIRELESS AND MOBILE DEVICE SAFETY

If you are using a wireless network (also known as WiFi) to access the Internet at a public location, (coffee shops, hotels, airports, etc.) you should make sure it is secure. Otherwise, all of your activity and information could be accessible to hackers and cybercriminals.

Making sure your firewall is turned on and your antivirus software is up-to-date will help. Be aware of those around you and never leave your laptop or mobile device unattended. Being able to access the Internet on a Wi-Fi hotspot can be quite convenient, buy may put your information at risk.

“With everything that the Parks and Recreation is involved in within the City of Westerville, we felt it was important to give the community another way to see what parks and recreation is all about,” says Randy Auler, Director of Westerville Parks and Recreation. “This blog gives the reader a simple way to read about what is going on with parks and recreation that they may not read in a magazine or on the City website. It is a more personal approach to what the Parks and Recreation Department deals with on a daily basis.”

Tree Lighting Ceremony SET TO HONOR HANBY ANNIVERSARY Benjamin R. Hanby was born near Rushville, Ohio. He moved to Westerville in 1849, at the age of sixteen, and enrolled at Otterbein University. He was the son of Bishop William Hanby, a co-founder of Otterbein University, who with his son was involved in freeing slaves via the Underground Railroad.

After graduating, Hanby took a job with Otterbein, then became a school principal in Seven Mile, Ohio. In 1864, after working in ministry for many years, he decided to pursue music as a full-time profession. He went on to write more than 80 songs.

When asked to provide entertainment at an event in December 1864, Hanby introduced a new song he had written entitled “Santa Claus.” The song was performed to great cheers.

After accepting a job with a major music publishing firm in Chicago, Ill, he was able to publish his “Santa Claus” song. Even after his death two years later, his song carried on as a popular tune. We know it today as “Up on the Housetop.”

A portrait of Benjamin R. Hanby

This 2014 Holiday season marks the 150th anniversary of Benjamin Hanby’s “Up on the Housetop.” The original lyrics differ some from the current version that is performed each year at the City of Westerville Tree Lighting Ceremony being held this year on Friday, December 5, 7 p.m. in Uptown Westerville.

Up On the Housetop

Below are the original lyrics as written by Benjamin Hanby followed by the current version.

Can you find the differences?

by Benjamin R. Hanby

Original Version

Current Version

Up on the house top, no delay, no pause Clatter the steeds of Santa Claus; Down thro’ the chimney with loads of toys Ho for the little ones, Christmas joys.

Down through the chimney with lots of toys All for the little ones, Christmas joys Ho, ho ho! Who wouldn’t know?

Some other fun facts about Benjamin R. Hanby and his family: “Santa Claus” is the second-oldest secular Christmas song, the first being “Jingle Bells.” William Studwll, The Christmas Carol Reader

Hanby was the first to offer up the idea that Santa and his sleigh land on the roof of homes. Readers Digest Merry Christmas Song Book

When the Hanby’s lived in the family home, now at 160 W. Main Street, it stood where the Church of the Master now stands. It was here that fugitive slaves found refuge on their way north.

Ben was in the second graduating class of Otterbein in 1858, along with his brother Cyrus. Ben’s wife Katherine Winter was in the first graduating class in 1857, which consisted of only two women.

Westerville Unveils New Mural ON THE PATH

“Create your own path,” is what the new Mural on the Path promotes with hopes for the community to continue on their path to a healthy and active lifestyle.

Many volunteers along with the Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Board of Franklin County (ADAMH), the art organization ALTernative, and the City of Westerville spent nearly three weeks priming and painting the 100-foot-long, 16-foottall mural located along the Westerville B&W Recreational Path System between College and Park Streets on the Cellar Lumber storage walls, 137 E. College Avenue. The design shows individuals enjoying a day outside in a park-like setting but also shows a hint of the City with the addition of some landmark buildings and sculptures including the Holmes Hotel, Emerson Elementary, First Responders Park and the Everal Barn.

Westerville Community Center 350 N. Cleveland Ave

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 $50.00 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.

OLYMPIAN CALLS WESTERVILLE HOME

While swimming at the lap pool of the Westerville Community Center, you might never know who the person swimming in the lane next to you could be; a swim team member, neighbor, president of a local businees, fitness enthusiast, or even a veteran Olympic swimmer.

Andrea Kontras, of Westerville, competed in the United States National Special Olympics in New Jersey in 2014.

She has been swimming since she was 10 years old, and has been competing for almost as long. She currently uses the Community Center as her training facility.

“Swimming gets me in good shape,” says Andrea, “and I feel like a fish.”

After a stellar performance at the 2012 Ohio Special Olympics where she won two gold medals, Andrea was chosen to represent Ohio at the National Special Olympic event in 2014. At Nationals she earned four medals; silver in the 4-by-25 medley relay and 100-freestyle (setting a personal record of 2:17 minutes) and bronze for the 50-freestyle and 50-backstroke, her desired stroke.

When asked what her advice is to anyone who is thinking about swimming she says, “It keeps you healthy and active.” Who could disagree?

We are proud that this Olympian calls Westerville home.

Congratulations, Andrea!

preschool Infant Self-Rescue

Instructor: Mollie Zook and Brian Atkinson Age(s): 6 mo - to 6-year-olds

Even children as young as six months can use this method should they fall into the water. Babies 6 to 12 months of age learn to hold their breath under water, turn on their backs and float unassisted. Children 1 to 6 years old are taught to expand this into a swim-float-swim sequence. Your child will also learn how to master the ISR Self-Rescue technique when fully clothed because most water accidents happen when children are clothed. To find out more or to schedule your child, please contact Mollie Zook, Certified JSR Instructor at (614) 348-3538 or Brian Atkinson, b.atkinson@infantswim.com or visit isrstrong.com.

While most people would not think of winter as a time to study nature, the winter months are the perfect time to not only learn about nature but also about animals in winter and how they survive throughout the cold season.

Westerville Parks and Recreation’s Outdoor program is concentrating on just that for the winter 2015 season.

Three new classes have been added that will have ages 3- to 4-year-olds and a parent learning about polar bears and what happens to bubbles in the cold; ages 5- to7-year olds learning about what happens to nature in the winter and why winter happens; and ages 8- to 10-year olds experimenting with snow.

THERE’S NO BETTER PLACE TO EXPLORE CREATIVITY THAN IN THE KITCHEN Scrambled eggs with syrup, peanut butter and bacon, cereal with orange juice – sound like someone doesn’t know how to cook? Not at all- it is creativity at its finest!

Children explore their world and use their limitless imaginations to create items that they can call their own and can express their desire to please by preparing food for others. Cooking classes are a great opportunity to safely introduce kids to fun in the kitchen, with a delicious snack or meal as a reward for a job well done.

CREATIVE ARTS And what better way to keep your children busy during that hectic hour of cooking dinner, then to get them stirring, whisking, and measuring. As an added bonus, when kids’ hands are busy preparing food, they are more likely to taste throughout the cooking process, helping to diminish the picky-eater syndrome.

Westerville Parks and Recreation offers cooking classes for ages 2-14 years old this winter season, so why not sign your child up for some tasty creativity in the kitchen!

Although creativity may seem to be the result of not following direction, it can be an art form where little hands turn everyday foods into a nutritious meal for family and friends. As with any form of art, the art of cooking can be an expression of a child’s personality where little chefs can blossom.

MAKE LUNCHTIME WORK FOR YOU

HEALTHY ACTIVE LIFESTYLE

An excerpt from the City’s new blog ACityWithinAPark.com

Between work, running errands and getting the kids fed and off to bed, you are probably left wondering where you can find the time to recharge or fit in a workout.

Enter Mindbody Fusion, offered this season at the Community Center. The class combines a mix of Yoga and Pilates providing a complete workout with an emphasis on improving posture, strength, flexibility and balance.

Mindbody Fusion Instructor, Amanda Smith, has been teaching group fitness for more than 25 years. She has found working out around lunchtime truly helps power you through the rest of the day.

Mindbody Fusion is a progressive class, meaning it slowly builds on exercises throughout the hour, weaving in and out of Yoga and Pilates moves. You will leave relaxed and won’t be left running on empty with this type of workout.

Both Mindbody Fusion (page 56) and another comparable class, Lunchtime Power Yoga (page 55), start at the beginning of January 2015. Additional lunch hour Aerobic and Yoga/Pilates classes may be found throughout the Healthy Active Lifestyle section.

For the full article as well as additional articles and stories, visit the Parks and Recreation’s new blog, ACityWithinAPark.com.

“Many people start the morning with a lot of energy and then fall into that mid-day slump,” said Amanda. “If you are doing chores, have to sit for an extended period of time or lift a lot for your job, a class like this breaks up the routine and makes you feel better and more aware of your posture.”

PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT VISION STATEMENT A City within a park where everyone benefits from Parks and Recreation.

The 96,000-square-foot facility, opened November 2001, was designed to bring the outside in. When residents and visitors enter the rotunda they are treated to a panoramic view of many of the features of the Center including the track and fitness room, gymnasium, climbing wall, indoor leisure pool, indoor playground, and teen room.

The information desk serves as the central location for visitor’s questions, registration and pass sales.

Residents have the option to pay daily admissions, purchase a pass for individual features of the facility or purchase an ultimate pass, which is the most economical and includes admission to all features.

The rotunda leads to two wings, an activity wing and a program wing. Just a short trip down the north corridor takes visitors to the activity wing and to a checkpoint station where daily admissions are taken and passes are scanned for the fitness room, aquatics center, track and gymnasium. Just down the south corridor resides the program wing featuring a cluster of multi-functional rooms designed to host a variety of events. The program wing has six reservable rooms and is where recreation and fitness classes are conducted, child care is housed, and rental facilities are located.

The Community Center also offers meeting and gathering space.

Our staff has been proud to serve the hundreds of thousands who have benefited from this facility.

THE BAILEY FAMILY

This community-based initiative provides programs and resources for those who live and work in Westerville. The W.E.L.L. acronym stands for Wellness, Education, Leisure, and Lifestyle. It’s about becoming aware and making choices towards a more successful and fulfilling quality of life. Also, it’s about providing programs and resources in the community to assist in the cultural shift of becoming healthy and active. This initiative is meant to engage the community to participate in structured and unstructured physical activity for all ages and abilities. Look for the LIVE W.E.L.L. Westerville symbol throughout the recreation guide on programs and services that will help make our community healthy!
