AUTMOW BRINGING ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY Lawn Mowing to Your Backyard One Westerville startup is providing a sustainable alternative to lawn mowing as you know it. Headquartered in Westerville since 2016, Autmow specializes in outdoor robotics and has expanded to 30 locations throughout the U.S. Named one of the best startups in Columbus CEO’s 2020 “Best of Business,” Autmow got its start providing robotic lawn-mowing options for homeowners before moving into the commercial side of lawn care with larger units and line painters for sports fields.

“Robotic mowers work with buried wire and will learn within that space using GPS,” said founder, CEO and Westerville resident Jeff Lattimer. “It functions much like an indoor vacuum. It allows owners to get some time back but it’s also environmentally friendly. Robotic lawnmowers are batterypowered, so they cut down on the environmental impact of traditional lawnmowers, which the EPA estimates cause roughly 5% of air pollution in the U.S.”

Westerville Economic Development Director Rachel Ray sees Autmow as an example of how a small startup can benefit from all the City has to offer.

“It’s exciting to see how an innovative small business like Autmow has been able to tap into Westerville’s considerable assets and amenities,” Ray said. “We understand how important it is for startups to be able to connect into a thriving business community, and we’re proud that Autmow has been able to find that community in Westerville.”

The family-run company is happy to have made Westerville its home.

“Westerville has so much to offer, not only to our business but our family too,” Lattimer said. “Not only is there a significant amount of industry in central Ohio but Westerville is a great community with an aggressively forward-thinking mindset and great young talent. The high-speed Internet and best-inclass data services provided by WeConnect are tremendous for businesses, and the City’s parks and amenities provide a large amount of options for both residents and employees.”

Street Updates Continue this Summer Westerville continues to make street maintenance activities a priority. Work began late spring on a handful of streets in the Uptown Westerville area in conjunction with the Street Rehabilitation program, continuing the commitment made to the community as a part of the 2008 passage of Issue 54.

The project, partially funded through an Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) grant, will replace or repair aging utilities that include water and sanitary lines and the installation of new storm sewer infrastructure.

Once the utility work is completed, pavement reconstruction will begin. Streets in this portion of the program include: Stoner Alley

East Home Street (from Stoner Alley to McCutcheon Alley)

McCutcheon Alley

College Avenue (from Whitehead Street to Otterbein Avenue) (Paving and sidewalk to be completed with a future project)

Whitehead Street

As a part of the work, sidewalks/walkways will be installed on Whitehead Street and East Home Street to help improve walkability for residents in the area. The project follows the City’s “Complete Streets” Policy, which helps direct the inclusion of bike and pedestrian facilities within infrastructure improvements whenever feasible. The policy continues work toward realizing the community’s vision of building a network of connectivity around Uptown, Otterbein University, commercial centers, neighborhoods, parks, playgrounds and schools.

“It’s exciting to be able to make significant infrastructure improvements to this area,” said Westerville City Engineer Scott Tourville. “Adding sidewalk maintenance to the utility and roadway work is a huge win for the community.”

Work is expected to be completed in the fall of 2022. Visit www.westerville.org/construction for a full list

4 of upcoming projects.

“Complete Streets” considers and encourages alternative modes of transportation that go beyond vehicular travel such as cycling, walking, public transportation, school busing, delivery services, freight hauling and emergency responses resulting in a more complete and safe transportation network.

MID-CITY ELECTRIC GIVES BACK TO

BRIGHTEN UP WESTERVILLE

One of the region’s top employers has planted deep roots in Westerville, and has the work attire to prove it. MidCity Electric, named one of the Top 10 Best Employers by Business First, spent an afternoon this spring planting trees at Boyer Nature Preserve.

“This all started last year when we realized we wanted to start an event for employees that does good both for people and the Earth,” said Mid-City Electric Sustainability Coordinator and Operations Manager Ellen Stemm. “We reached out to Adam Williams in Westerville Parks and Recreation and he determined these two areas could benefit from additional trees.”

Westerville is known for its robust tree canopy. The Arbor Day Foundation has named Westerville a “Tree City USA” community for 46 years, “Tree Line USA Utilities” for 15 years and “Tree Cities of The World” for three years among other commendations.

“We’ve done this the last two years but I’m really hoping to make this an annual event,” said Stemm. “It’s a great opportunity to get employees together outside to help the community we’re in. I’m really looking forward to future years.”

“It’s a huge benefit when organizations within our community donate their time and give back,” Williams said. “Obviously, it’s a good team-building exercise to get out and plant trees but it continues to help our community build upon our strong reputation as a ‘Tree City USA.’ We at the City care greatly about the environment within our community and are glad many of our employers within the City are setting aside time to assist.”

To learn more about how you or your company can get involved, visit www.westerville.org/urbarnforestry.

Mid-City Electric looks to continue this event for years to come.

Right Tree, Right Place

Planting a tree in your yard can enhance landscaping, cool your home in summer and help tame winds during winter and spring storms. Planning for what type of tree and where to plant it is an important process.

Planting Tips from City Arborist

HEIGHT

“Taking into account the location of your home, power lines and underground plumbing is the first step,” said Adam WIlliams, Westerville Parks and Recreation Arborist. “Once that is determined, you can then choose a tree that will not interfere.”

According to the Arbor Day Foundation, there are some considerations to remember: q Height. Will the tree bump into anything when it is fully grown?

Tree pruning zone

q Canopy spread. How wide will the tree grow? q

Is the tree deciduous or evergreen? (Will it lose its leaves in the winter?)

q Form or shape. Less space vs more shade. q Growth rate. Slow growing species typically live longer than fast growing species. q

DISTANCE

Soil, sun and moisture requirements.

q Hardiness zone indicates the temperature extremes in which a tree can be expected to grow.

WESTERVILLE ELECTRIC DIVISION HELPS

“Light Up Navajo”

Three hundred households on the Navajo Nation have electricity for the first time thanks, in part, to a small crew from the Westerville Electric Division (WED). Line crew supervisor JJ Savage, apprentice lineworker Courtney Bailey and utility arborist Joe Delong traveled more than 1,600 miles to spend a week helping connect homes in Kayenta, Arizona to the power grid.

“It’s probably some of the more meaningful work I’ll ever get to do. I’m very blessed to work in a place like [Westerville] that allows me to showcase my skill set and knowledge to help other communities,” said Savage, a 14-year veteran of WED. “That’s one of the reasons I got into linework, I enjoy helping people.”

The “Light Up Navajo” initiative is a unique mutual aide program and partnership between the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA) and the American Public Power Association (APPA, of which Westerville is a member). Westerville is part of the third wave of public power lineworkers from across the country to participate in the program.

Westerville’s crew worked side-by-side with NTUA lineworkers for 12-hours a day building power lines in the Arizona desert. Savage says the heat was surprisingly mild, but the wind was another story.

“For three days we had 20-mile-per-hour winds with gusts of 5060 mph. So it would pick up sand, and this is like hourglass sand,” Savage said. “We were getting pelted the last few days.”

Savage says the elements were well worth withstanding for the lifechanging impact they were able to have on the Navajo residents.

One resident was so grateful that he invited Savage, Bailey and Delong to his home to witness him turning on his electronics for the first time with power from the grid.

“He built his house 30 years ago and this was the first time his home had been energized. He was 57 and this was the first time he’s lived in a home with electricity,” Savage said.

Savage learned that many Navajo residents had to travel more than an hour to their nearest grocery store several times a week because they only had coolers for food storage.

The APPA and NTUA continue their mission to connect Navajo residents to the grid. Visit www.ntua.com to learn more about Light Up Navajo.

Wheel ”Difference

WPD, WFD Make a

Returning this summer to Westerville events are Westerville Division of Police and Fire (WPD, WFD) officers and firefighter/ medics, taking to streets and special events on their bikes. It’s another way Westerville’s first responders provide public safety services at the street level, while giving personnel options to be mobile and active at certain times of year.

The WPD Bike Patrol unit is staffed by certified officers. The unit assists in preventative patrol and outreach activities at community events. Security operations and other assignments are included when visibility and mobility are needed. Officers typically patrol large events like 4th Fridays, or during opportunities to visit neighborhoods, like National Night Out in August.

Lt. Doug Stephens, who manages WPD’s Community Services Bureau, says bike officers are eager to get back out after missing a couple year’s worth of activities during COVID. “The officers on the team are really motivated to get back on their bikes,” said Lt. Stephens. “These officers really are specialists at looking at the community through a different view, catching things along the ride we can address from a community safety or crime prevention perspective. And, getting back to community events on bike is a bonus.”

At WFD, firefighter/medics ride during big community events like the 4th of July to expedite medical services if and when needed. Most often, medics see heat illnesses and dehydration issues.

WPD Bike Patrol Officers include (from left) Brittany Shoup, Jeff Dixon, Adam Dross, Ryan Aspey

Battalion Chief Gretchen Sutton has been a rider for WFD during special events for 12 years, and now coordinates the WFD bike team. Having the opportunity to work directly with the community and provide aid within the crowds is the main reason she keeps coming back to the bike.

“We have had some really oppressive days on the 4th of July in terms of the heat,” she said. “In a sea of people, it’s a lot easier to get to people on a bike than a truck.”

She adds the overall coordination with Police during mass events helps everyone get to the exact location they are needed.

“The bikes have been the first on the scene of several medical emergencies,” said Chief Sutton. “We are also in a position where we can identify and address safety issues that may be happening in the crowd and prevent injuries from occurring.”

Safety is key for the bike patrol teams, adding resources to the cruisers and trucks that are stationed around the community for quick response. Both teams work together with Westerville Parks & Recreation on bike safety programming for new bikers, as well as helmet fitting.

Turning Bags Into Benches Westerville Lions Club Program Focuses on the Environment The Westerville Lions Club, one of the oldest service organizations in the community, is working on modern strategies to protect the environment. Specifically, they are collecting plastic film for recycling and turning it into benches.

Plastic film is the thin to heavy-weight plastic you find wrapping packages or mattresses, dry cleaner bags, bubble wrap and shopping bags.

“The response by the citizens of Westerville has been amazing so far,” said Howard Baum, Westerville Lions Club Treasurer.

“We are collecting it almost faster than we can turn it in.”

Since this project began in May 2021, the Lions have collected nearly 3,000 lbs of plastic, keeping it out of landfills and helping the community.

“We are able to receive one bench per 500 lbs every six months so we have set up multiple accounts to record the plastic weight,” Baum said.

Six benches have been installed so far including three at Greenhaven Living on West Main Street, an organization that works closely with the Lions and the collection of plastic.

Another two benches are installed in front of Barrel and Boar, and two are installed in front of Middlefield Bank. Future plans include installing as many as possible in Uptown Westerville.

Additional plastic film recycling is always needed. The Lions Club is asking the community to drop off their plastic bags and other plastic items to Greenhaven Living where they can be weighed and added to the account. Additional area

8

collection centers include Meijer, Kroger, Giant Eagle, Fresh Thyme and Kohl’s but bags must be weighed prior to drop off.

That weight should then be emailed to info@westervillelions. org to be included in the monthly totals.

The Westerville Lions Club, part of Lions International, is comprised of local men and women who individually and jointly volunteer their time to provide service to the Westerville community.

Questions can be emailed to info@westervillelions.org.

Chief Chandler Begins Term as President of the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police Westerville Division of Police (WPD) Chief Charles “Cappy” Chandler is the 2022-23 president of the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police. In this role, Chief Chandler will represent six districts in the state of Ohio and the professional membership association of more than 475 active law enforcement executives. His term began in June.

The Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police, Inc. (OACP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to continuing education and innovation for its law enforcement community. Established in 1928, the Association provides professional, educational and informational services to advance the law enforcement profession.

“It’s an honor to work with police executives across the state as we together assess the most impactful ways for Ohio to demonstrate leadership and innovation in law enforcement,” said Chandler. “It’s a great responsibility to help chart a course for Ohio. We have valuable opportunities to influence legislation that affects public safety, and work with elected officials to understand the issues facing police agencies large and small in our state.”

Westerville City Manager Monica Irelan says Chandler will have an impact as president because he personifies the Association’s values: integrity, service, communication and collaboration with partners.

“Our Chief has shown a strong commitment to leadership, and affecting change through service,” said Irelan. “He has bold ideas but understands the importance of facilitation and cooperation. We’re proud he will represent Westerville and the department in this way.”

Chandler also sits on the Ohio Criminal Sentencing Commission, an affiliated office of the Supreme Court that seeks to enhance justice and ensure fair sentencing in Ohio. He was appointed by Governor Mike DeWine in 2021.

For more information on the Westerville Division of Police, please visit www.westerville.org/police.

Chief Chandler’s OACP goals for 2022-2023 q Continuing cooperation with the Ohio Peace Officers Training Academy to support regional training centers across the state and improved virtual learning capabilities. q Support the OACP Legislative Committee and their work with legislators regarding proposed bills that directly affect public safety and the citizens of Ohio.

q Build upon and support the exchange of ideas and current relationships with the Buckeye State Sheriff’s Association, the Ohio Department of Public Safety, Ohio State Highway Patrol and The Office of Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. q Emphasize the importance of the Community Relations and Engagement Committee to help promote the positive community policing strategies of Ohio’s law enforcement agencies.

Cops & Kids Day Returns Sunday, Sept. 18 from 12-4 p.m.

The Westerville Division of Police (WPD) invites the community to enjoy an afternoon of community, food and fun! Meet officers from agencies throughout the state while you explore cruisers, helicopters, motorcycles, tactical vehicles and so much more. Visit www.westerville.org/copskids.

Fire Chief Brian Miller

On WFD Ladder Company Q. What makes a Ladder Company different than an Engine Company?

A: A ladder company’s role on the fire scene is diverse, so they also carry a multitude of tools to assist with accomplishing their assigned task. An engine company’s primary role is to extinguish the fire, so an engine carries hoses of various lengths and diameters to accomplish that task.

Q. What are a Ladder Company’s responsibilities?

A: Responsibilities include placing ground ladders for access, egress or rescue; conducting search and rescue operations; ventilating the building to remove smoke and heat as well as ensuring that the utilities are turned off and salvage. Salvage is the process of saving or removing property to limit damage incurred from water, smoke or heat. Many times homeowners will request that specific items be saved, if possible, and a ladder company is often assigned to complete that task.

Q. What does the Ladder Company include?

Q. What do the numbers on the trucks mean?

A: In addition to ground ladders, a ladder truck carries portable lights and fans for ventilation and an aerial device (a large, mechanicallyoperated extendable ladder mounted on top of the truck). It also carries battery-powered cutters and spreaders that are used to pry open vehicles involved in accidents where a victim may be trapped. These tools are often referred to as the Jaws of Life.

A: Firetruck, company and station numbers are based on a countywide numbering system. The City of Columbus, being the first and largest includes numbers 1 - 49. The numbering system then circles around Columbus starting at Grandview Heights with the 50s and so on with Westerville being the 110-118s. The number on each truck corresponds to the station where it is quartered.

Q. How many firefighters are in a ladder company?

Q. How many Ladder Companies does Westerville have?

A: There is a minimum of three firefighters including a lieutenant who serves as the company officer.

A: Westerville has one ladder company located at Station 111.

NEW ENGINE Planned for westerville Planning is underway for the replacement of the current Westerville Division of Fire (WFD) Engine 113, a 1996 Pierce-manufactured pumper fire truck. The vehicle was rebuilt four years ago in hopes to extend its life, but the time has come to replace it. The new engine will consist of a permanently mounted fire pump, water tank and hose body for the primary purpose of combating structural and associated fires.

Thank you Battalion Chief Hicks,

Welcome Battalion Chief Sutton On April 29, after 37 years serving Westerville residents (22 as Battalion Chief), Andy Hicks said his goodbye to the badge.

Beginning his career as a Firefighter with the City when there was just one station in Uptown Westerville, Chief Hicks had the “firefighter bug” from a very young age.

“Through our friendship, we have been able to support each other on the tough days.”

“I started thinking about it as a boy scout at age 10,” he said. “Once I completed the Westerville Fire Explorers program I knew it was what I wanted to do.”

“It doesn’t surprise me at what his plans for retirement are,” said Hogg. “Andy has a big heart and great love for people.”

When asked what retirement looks like, Hicks says he plans to continue his work with and get more involved in the community.

Hicks handed the reigns to another Westerville Firefighter and proven leader.

Battalion Chief Gretchen Sutton has been with the City of Westerville since 2009. Westerville Fire Chief Brian Miller was an instructor at the Columbus State Fire Science program when Stutton was a student.

“As an instructor I noticed that Gretchen’s heart was in firefighting,” said Chief Miller. “She was a professional and very engaged. I knew she was going to make a great firefighter, and now Battalion Chief.”

Sutton began as a Firefighter at Station 111 and moved to Station 113 as a Lieutenant in 2019.

“Riding a fire engine as a Lieutenant in Westerville has been one of the greatest privileges of my life,” Chief Sutton said.

Hicks spent years in each station as a Firefighter until he was promoted to Lieutenant at Station 113 just two years before being promoted to Battalion Chief. He spent the majority of his time at Station 111 where the City’s three Battalion Chiefs reside, one for each shift. A Battalion Chief’s daily routine includes personnel reviews, an hour or more of training, inspections, building walkthroughs and rounds at each station peppered with overseeing runs. Hicks compares it to being an orchestra director.

After a thorough internal testing process through the Ohio Fire Chief’s Association, Sutton was chosen for Battalion Chief. This test is provided to any Firefighter interested in advancement. On May 2, Sutton began the Battalion Chief duties at Station 111.

“I’m humbled but also eager,” Sutton said. “This is an awesome responsibility that I’m being entrusted with, one that I do not take lightly, and I’m honored to be afforded this opportunity.”

Visit www.westerville.org/fire for more information.

“I made sure everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be there.”

After years of riding along with Hicks, Chaplain David Hogg said he would miss the time they spent together.

Westerville Fire Chief Says Safety First

City Opts Out of New Fireworks Laws Beginning July 2022, a new state of Ohio law regarding fireworks use, discharge and disbursement will take effect, if a City, Village or Township chooses to allow it. This new fireworks law gives Ohioans the ability to discharge, or set off, consumer-grade fireworks on their own property with prior permission from the state of Ohio Fire Marshal and is limited to designated dates.

After careful consideration, the City of Westerville has chosen to “opt-out” of this change, keeping the safety of residents and visitors as their top priority.

“The safety of our residents and their guests are very important to us,” said Westerville Fire Chief Brian Miller.

“Fireworks can be extremely dangerous if not used or supervised properly.”

The City is choosing to follow its current Ordinance, which prevents the sale or use of fireworks within City corporate limits. Only novelty fireworks (e.g., sparklers) are allowed, all other fireworks should be left to the professionals.

The City of Westerville fireworks Ordinance 1519.04 is available at www.westerville.org/codes. For the full updated State of Ohio fireworks law visit www.ohio.gov.

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT SET FOR AUG. 2 Westerville residents can once again look forward to an opportunity to meet new neighbors and the first responders in the community during National Night Out on Aug. 2. The annual campaign promotes police-community partnerships and builds camaraderie.

The evening is designed to: q Heighten crime and

drug prevention awareness q Generate support for

local anti-crime programs

q Promote neighborhood pride and

police-community partnerships q Send a message to criminals that

neighborhoods are organized and fighting back

National Night Out is unique because participating neighborhoods host block parties with activities including potlucks, karaoke, face painting, raffles, police car rides and an appearance from Scruff McGruff.

WPD Encourages Safe Driving

The Westerville Division of Police (WPD) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are reminding residents to “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.”

Alcohol can impair reasoning and muscle coordination. Even a small amount of alcohol can affect driving ability. According to the NHTSA, in 2019, there were 1,775 people killed in alcohol-related accidents where the driver had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .01 to .07 grams of alcohol per deciliter (g/dL) of blood.

Westerville’s ‘State of the City’ Heralds

THE

COMEBACK TOUR

For the first time since the earliest days of the pandemic, the community gathered in person to celebrate the “State of the City” on Thursday, May 12 at the Renaissance Columbus Westerville-Polaris Hotel (409 Altair Parkway).

With activities, refreshments and neighborly networking, the event centered around a presentation by City Manager Monica Irelan who explained that Westerville is, indeed, on a comeback tour of sorts with events and programs returning in full form. Sharing the strategic way forward, Irelan pointed to the City’s commitment to strong diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), economic development and providing outstanding service to residents and visitors.

Building A Bridge Toward Healing Volunteer of the Year: Mick Yinger

The following remarks were shared at the 2022 State of the City: “The City of Westerville and our partners are pleased to honor Mick Yinger as the 2021 Westerville Individual Volunteer of the Year.

The Westerville community will forever remember the tragic events of February 10, 2018, when Westerville Division of Police Officers Anthony P. Morelli and Eric Joering were killed in the line of duty.

The enduring legacy of those darkest of times is the light we witnessed through the countless acts of kindness and outpouring of support for first responders.

One such light is First Responders Bridge, a non-profit organization that provides free, three-day retreats for struggling frontline heroes and their significant others.

Just one month after Westerville Division of Police officers Anthony P. Morelli and Eric Joering were killed in the line of duty, Mick Yinger, a retired Columbus police officer, joined forces with retired Westerville officer Michael Pavolino to establish the organization.

Mick Yinger and family

First Responders Bridge hosts retreats that provide a safe, confidential environment for first responders to take important steps to learn how to cope with the effects of post-traumatic stress and connect them with resources like Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) information and on-site clinicians. To date, the organization has served about 622 first responders and continues to follow up with these men and women.

Thank you, Mick Yinger, for your selfless service to first responders.”

Service Above Self

Nonprofit/Charity of the Year: The Rotary Clubs of Westerville The following remarks were shared at the 2022 State of the City: If you’ve ever walked the streets of Uptown or attended a community event, your life has been touched by a Westerville Rotarian. Our community is fortunate to have two Rotary organizations, totaling around 200 dedicated volunteers committed to “service above self.”

“The main objective of Rotary is service in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today’s most critical issues, such as at-risk children, poverty and hunger, the environment, education and violence,” said Mayor Diane Conley, who serves with the Sunrise Rotary.

THE ROTARY CLUB OF WESTERVILLE Founded in 1959, the Rotary Club of Westerville, or, “Noon Rotary,” is the team responsible for bringing cherished traditions to the community including the annual Independence Day festivities. From the 5K to the parade, concerts, festive activities and fireworks, these community volunteers work tirelessly to bring to life a 4th of July celebration that is the envy of other communities.

WESTERVILLE SUNRISE ROTARY CLUB Chartered in 1994, the Westerville Sunrise Rotary Club transforms the Westerville Sports Complex on Memorial Day weekend into a “Field of Heroes.” This signature community event is created by Sunrise volunteers who help plant 3,000 American flags, each honoring a personal hero of a person in the community. Often duplicated, but never replicated, Westerville’s Field of Heroes draws visitors from far and wide, all wanting to take in the reverent and patriotic display made possible by the Westerville Sunrise Rotary.

We thank both Rotary Clubs of Westerville for their continued and dedicated service.

Champion of Westerville Honoring John Parimuha’s Legacy of Service It takes inspiration and dogged determination from devoted residents to raise any community out of a slump.

It takes a visionary and resilient spirit to lead a community into prosperity. In John Parimuha, Westerville had all of these qualities. He was a true champion.

To see Westerville today, it’s difficult to imagine that little more than 40 years ago, it was a bedroom community with fiscal challenges. Serving on the Annehurst Village Civic Association at the time was an enthusiastic and community-minded gentleman by the name of John Parimuha. With a wife and two sons in the neighborhood, Parimuha helped the organization bring annual events like pool parties, dinner socials, egg hunts and more. While his commitment to Annehurst never waned, his sense of optimism for what could be in Westerville poured out and led him to 20 years of City Council service (1979-1999) and involvement on several boards and commissions.

An engineer by trade and a teacher, Parimuha had a heart for service and a mind for economic development. Current Council Chairman Michael Heyeck counts Parimuha his mentor on Council.

“John helped us attract Mount Carmel St. Ann’s Hospital, which was the first full-service suburban hospital in central Ohio leading to what we call today the ‘Medical Mile,’” Chairman Heyeck said. “His activism set the standards for the commercial development at the Cleveland Avenue and Main Street intersection and helped to establish the development of River Trace with upscale housing instead of the original plans for a higher density development.”

Additionally, Parimuha was instrumental in the early planning stages of the area we now know as Westar. He also served at the forefront of the Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces (PROS) 2000 planning that led to the 1998 tax issue for the development of the Community Center, the Sports Complex, Heritage Park, and many other improvements.

18

For all his accomplishments, Parimuha, who was affectionately known as the “Mayor of Annehurst,” was never one to seek acknowledgment.

“He would tell you humbly today that this vision was a shared vision and not his alone,” said Chairman Heyeck.

“He also reminded us that vision requires action and our City employees are the heroes who do the hard work towards that vision.”

John Parimuha passed away in 2021 at the age of 83. He is survived by his loving wife, Loretta, sons John Jr. and Joseph, and the enduring legacy of a thriving community he helped champion to prosperity.

He will be honored with a Westerville Champion marker along the Alum Creek to Sharon Woods connector trail at St. Ann’s Hospital in the coming months.

Story Behind the

THE HIGHLANDS PARK AQUATIC CENTER

TILE MURAL

If you’ve visited Highlands Park Aquatic Center (HPAC) located at 245 S. Spring Rd. you no doubt noticed the intricate tile mural paying homage to the surrounding wetlands.

The community tile mural planning began in 2011 and included the Arts Council of Westerville and Westerville Parks and Recreation. The idea was to bring the community together to lend their creative flair to a project that could be enjoyed for years to come.

Designed by local artist and teacher, Eric Cacioppo, the mural required more than 1,100 tiles and multiple scenes to be created. Citizens, school children, camp kids, area businesses and community partners carved and painted clay tiles with a “paint by number” technique which, when placed together, created a beautiful wetlands scene complete with lily pads, frogs, otters and even a heron or two. A map, installed near the mural, is available with numbered spaces so those who took part could find their special tile.

Visit HPAC (245 S. Spring Rd.) this summer and view this masterpiece and maybe you can find that special tile that you or someone you know created.

The Show Must Go On . . .

Civic Theatre is Back this Summer

Westerville Parks and Recreation Civic Theatre (WPRCT) has returned after a two-year hiatus. “Junie B. Jones Jr. The Musical” kicked off the summer in June, followed by “The Sound of Music” Thursday, July 28 - Sunday, July 31.

The production of “The Sound of Music” marks a firsttime collaboration with the Westerville Symphony and Westerville Parks and Recreation is as excited as ever to produce this musical for the community.

In 2013, Westerville’s “Year of the Arts” drove the creation of the WPRCT. With support from Parks and Recreation and Otterbein University Theatre and Dance, WPRCT introduced its first full-scale production of “The Wizard of Oz” that summer. More than 100 community members were involved. The production boasted five nearly soldout performances with more than 3,500 attendees over one weekend. WPRCT then moved on to produce youth only show and three years of radio shows from 2015-2017.

Tickets may be purchased for the July performance of “The Sound of Music” being held at the Alum Creek Park Amphitheater (221 W. Main St.) for $15 each by visiting www.westerville.org/registration. See page 30 for additional details.

Learn more about WPRCT at www.westerville.org/arts.

The current format features two productions: an outdoor amphitheater production starring only youth performers and a second summer production starring performers of all ages. “The Sound of Music” will mark the 14th production by the WPRCT. “What once started out as a partnership with Otterbein became a full Parks and Recreation program,” said Derrick McPeak, Public Relations Events Specialist. “Performers of all ages from five to 80 are involved. Our larger productions involve 60 to 80 performers while children’s productions see 35 to 40.”

Community Center Maintenance

Set for August

WESTERVILLE COMMUNITY CENTER ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FACILITY CLOSED - AUG. 22-28

The Westerville Community Center will be undergoing its annual maintenance period this August. The aquatics area will be closed from Aug. 1-Sept. 5 while the entire Community Center facility will be closed Aug. 22-28.

“While much of the facility is new after our recent expansion, this maintenance period is important for the Center to undergo a deep clean while also providing minor maintenance updates to the facility,” said Special Projects Administrator David Chambers. “It is important we continue to maintain our facility to the high standards our guests have come to expect.”

In addition to the maintenance at the facility, Community Center staff will participate in a series of training sessions to ensure they are able to provide the highest level of safety and customer service.

During the week of the full facility shutdown, the gymnasium, fitness area, adventure fitness, climbing wall and multipurpose rooms all will undergo a thorough dusting, deep cleaning and minor maintenance while the senior studio floor will be refinished. During the time the aquatics area is closed, all pass holders will have full access to Highlands Park Aquatic Center (245 S. Spring Rd.).

For more information on the annual maintenance period, visit www.westerville.org/annualmaintenance.

Veterans Memorial Update The Westerville Veterans Memorial construction is continues this summer. Plans for an open date of Nov. 11 are underway, pending the parks completion. Find information about the ribbon-cutting ceremony, progress photos and move in the Sept. /Oct. Community Recreation Guide and at www.westerville.org/vetsmemorial.

Westerville Female Student Athletes

PAVING WAY FOR FUTURE Several Westerville high school students made history this past school year as girls wrestling emerged as an officiallysanctioned sport. In January, Ohio became the 33rd state to sanction the sport and, a month later, a Westerville trio became the first young women to advance to the Ohio High School Wrestling Coaches Association Girls State Wrestling Tournament.

Westerville North junior Melania Szawranskyj is the school’s first district champion, while junior Olamide Olobatuyi became the first girls wrestling state qualifier for Westerville South. In addition, junior Marvet Hejazin qualified for the state competition for Westerville North after joining the team just three months prior.

Szawranskyj went 4-2 at the state meet finishing in fifth place after pinning her opponent in two minutes, 44 seconds.

Her classmate Heljazin also picked up her first state meet win. Olobatuyi, who finished fourth in her weight class at the district meet, was unable to compete due to a prior commitment (performing with the school’s marching band in a parade at Disney’s Magic Kingdom in Florida.)

While the Coaches Association held the first girls state meet in 2020, young female athletes now will have their first Ohio High School Athletic Association-sanctioned postseason tournament for the 2022-23 school year.

To learn more about girls wrestling and its start as an officially-sanctioned sport, visit www.ohsaa.org.

Westerville Park Hop:

Alum Creek Park North With July recognized as “National Park and Recreation Month” and July 2 celebrated as “National Hop a Park Day”, Westerville Parks and Recreation is showcasing the very first park in Westerville; Alum Creek Park North (221 W. Main St.). In a City with more than 650 acres of parkland, Alum Creek Park North shines as a versatile spot for residents of all ages.

The park, which was acquired in 1934, had its 1,260-square foot amphitheater dedicated in 2001 and a new playground installed in 2015. The 11.93-acre park also houses an ADA-accessible shelter with 12 8-foot tables, two charcoal grills and occupancy of 112 people.

Other amenities include a ball diamond, lighted basketball court, sand volleyball court, fishing, benches and bike/leisure path along Alum Creek. The playground includes swings, a spider web climbing feature, a sandbox and a train.

For more information on Alum Creek Park North and all Westerville parks, visit www.westerville.org/parks.

ON DECK AT BENJAMIN HANBY PARK

SYMPHONY GROVE CONSTRUCTION Benjamin Hanby Park (4 Vine St.) is receiving an upgrade in the coming months as part of a project between Westerville Parks and Recreation and the Westerville Symphony Board.

“We are very excited about our partnership with the Symphony Board and the opportunity to refresh and enrich this pocket park,” said Parks and Facilities Development Administrator Laura Ball.

“We hope nearby residents enjoy the garden-like setting the project will create. It should be the perfect place to catch up with a friend, relax or read with a child.”

With construction planned for late summer or early fall, the concept includes a realigned brick walkway, new benches, landscaping materials for new beds and several new trees. Each tree in the park will represent a piece of music.

For more information on Symphony Grove at Benjamin Hanby Park and all Westerville Parks and Recreation offers, visit www.westerville.org/parks.

Butterfly Memorial HONORS FLOYD SIEBERT Construction is underway on a project to honor Westerville Senior Center friend Floyd Siebert. Siebert, who passed away earlier this year, will be honored with a butterfly memorial behind the Senior Center entrance at the Westerville Community Center (350 N. Cleveland Ave.).

More than 50 plants will surround the Butterfly Memorial, which has been funded by the Westerville Senior Association. After volunteering his time teaching digital photography classes at the Senior Center, Siebert went on to serve as a member of the board for the Westerville Senior Association. He then was honored in 2016 for his service at the Senior Center with a bronze star placed on their Star Wall.

In addition to the Memorial, a 20-by-45-foot social patio is in the works for the coming months. The patio, which also will be situated outside the Senior Center entrance, will have room for passholders to play a variety of games, including cornhole, and will be surrounded by a plethora of plants and trees.

For more information on the latest updates at the Community Center, visit www.westerville.org/communitycenter.
