CITY COUNCIL

Welcome Let the (spring) games begin. It’s the return of the Spring Eggstravaganza (page 18) in March, and Westerville Parks & Recreation is planning a big celebration. With warmer weather coming, we’re ready for the return of outdoor activities and events.

As the cover suggests, we have a new “critter cop” at the Westerville Division of Police (WPD). Mary Dembiec spent weeks training with now-retired Kim Stambaugh, who retired after more than 21 years as WPD’s Animal Control Officer. From lost dogs and cats to the locally famous Uptown-area skunks, residents will likely get to know Ofc. Dembiec soon. See page 6 for more.

Back Row: Coutanya Coombs, Ph.D; Kenneth L. Wright, Vice Mayor; Dennis Blair; Megan Reamsnyder Front Row: Michael Heyeck, Chairperson; Mayor Diane Conley; Craig Treneff, Vice Chairperson

And while we’re making introductions, we have a new Mayor.

Mayor Diane Conley shares her Westerville story on page 4, and talks about how she expects to approach the role. Mayor Conley previously served on the Parks Foundation Board, an organization that is helping fund Westerville’s newest park, beginning construction in late spring. Find out more about Sycamore Trail Park along Africa Road on page 12.

In this issue, we recognize the 10-year anniversary of WēConnect, the City’s data center and fiber network. If you don’t know WēConnect now, read the profile on page 5. Lastly, if March and April mean Spring Break to you, don’t forget your safety plan during preparations. Check out the tips on page 11.

COVID is still a reality in this community. So, take the time this spring to open your windows, let in the sunshine and take a deep breath. It’s going to be a great season.

Introducing MAYOR CONLEY Diane Conley started her first term as Mayor at the Jan. 4 Westerville City Council meeting with a knowing and kind acknowledgement. “I think for the first six months of my term, I’ll be saying, ‘No, I’m not Mayor (Kathy) Cocuzzi,’” she said. The reference to her eight-year term predecessor was simply another way of Mayor Conley being her authentic self, aware she is picking up on a busy role. Along with Vice Mayor Kenneth Wright, Mayor Conley will perform ceremonial duties for the City of Westerville, like special events, meetings, groundbreakings and dedications. The Mayor may also perform weddings. In any of these roles, Mayor Conley says she is “honored” to serve.

Tell us your Westerville story. How long have you lived here and what attracted you to public service?

I have lived in Westerville for seven years but had a long career in Westerville City Schools. We moved here after I retired; I realized that Westerville was “home” for me and wanted to be a part of the community as a citizen. My leadership philosophy is to be a servant-leader, so I have always enjoyed public service. I wanted to give back to this community, so one of the first ways I found to help make a difference in Westerville was service on the Parks Foundation Board.

How did a career in education prepare you to be a Council Member? And now, Mayor?

As a 40-plus year educator, I have learned to really listen to people and not just react to what I think they need. Whether it is a 7-year-old first grader, a teacher on staff, a college student or a constituent, people want to be heard, respected and valued. I believe the book, “All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten” by Robert Fulghum says it all!

Among the pieces of advice are: “share everything, play fair, don’t take things that aren’t yours and live a balanced life.”

What are you most looking forward to in your role as Mayor?

I am looking forward to meeting more people. I want to meet more team members from the city staff; they are the heart and soul of the success of our city. I am eager to be able to attend events and meet citizens and city business leaders. I know my most favorite role will be to tell others how wonderful Westerville is!

How do you describe Westerville to the people you meet as Mayor?

Where do I begin? I start by talking about how welcoming Westerville is. It is amazing how many of our citizens are willing to volunteer within Westerville. I talk about it being a City within a Park (then go on to tell them about our outstanding Parks and Recreation offerings). I mention Uptown Westerville and the many small businesses and restaurants. I also talk about the economic growth of Westerville, highlighting Westar and the redevelopment we are seeing in the southern end of the city. I mention our outstanding city services. As you can tell, I can talk about Westerville all day long!

Diane Conley, Mayor

What is something you’d like Westerville residents to know about you, Mayor?

I am a lifelong learner; I plan to learn as much as I can during my term as Mayor. I also love to be around others. If you see me around town, please stop by and talk to me.

We hear you love to travel. What’s on your travel itinerary for Council breaks in 2022?

My husband and I love to travel and to explore new sights.

For this coming year, depending upon COVID, we plan to go to the Rotary International Convention in Houston, and then I am going to New York City with friends (to see Hugh Jackman in The Music Man). I have a niece who lives in Hawaii who just became engaged, depending when the wedding takes place that might also be on our agenda.

Tell us about your family and support network. How will they be involved in your term?

I am truly blessed with family and friends. My husband John and I have been married 46 years. We have an adult son, John who works for JP Morgan Chase in Westerville. My brother and sister both live within 15 miles of me, so we see each other often. I also have many close friends from my years as a teacher, principal and district administrator. Another “family,” is my Westerville Sunrise Rotary family. These are the kindest and most giving people you will find. As for being involved in my term – these family members and friends are always willing to help out if asked and to give me pieces of advice when needed. I would not be the person I am without them.

They keep me honest to myself!

Thank you KATHY COCUZZI

What “personal touch” do you plan to have on the role?

I will remain true to myself. I am an outgoing, positive person and truly love Westerville, and I hope this comes through in all I say and do.

In her last City Council meeting as Mayor of Westerville, Kathy Cocuzzi received the Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N) award for being a Kindness Hero.

STILL CONNECTING WESTERVILLE 10 YEARS LATER

More than 10 years ago, the City of Westerville set out to learn how to establish a publicly owned data center, quickly discovering at the time that no model existed. Rather than abandon an idea that appealed to the needs of the local business community and established a commitment to innovation, the City went to work creating a model. On March 1, 2012, the WēConnect® data center was dedicated as the nation’s first municipal data center.

Open for business since December 2011, the 16,000-square foot facility serves as a connectivity hub – a data hotel of sorts - for local and regional business. In the last 10 years, WēConnect has designed a series of managed technology services, including cloud computing, co-location, broadband services and server rack space and security. A carrier-neutral facility, the data center provides businesses of all sizes access to the most advanced technologies so that they can thrive at the local level but compete anywhere else in the world.

In addition to the data center, the City-owned infrastructure includes the fiber network around its perimeter. The combination of the center and the network act as another utility offered and controlled at the local level in Westerville.

“Data centers are much more common now, but the City’s ownership and management is what makes WēConnect truly novel,” said Brian Gorenflo, WēConnect Manager. “It’s an economic development tool. We can tell businesses their utilities and costs are managed here with a full suite of services that you would find anywhere in the world. It’s an advantage for business growth and security without increasing costs.”

Economic Development Director Rachel Ray says what businesses save in time and money gets reinvested into the community as a whole.

“In the 2010s, Westerville was having conversations about what was needed in order to be a world-class destination for business,” said Ray, “A community data center centralizes technology, services and security, and public infrastructure and support. WēConnect has put Westerville on a new plane to support jobs, enhance community quality of life, and attract new business investment as a critical part of our economic development strategy.”

Gorenflo says WēConnect will be a household name in Westerville in the future through public services and expanded business programs.

“Fiber-to-the-home is still being assessed for distribution to Westerville residents, which would pair Internet choice with Westerville reliability,” said Gorenflo. “We’re working with other communities and expanding our business portfolio, and planning on redevelopment to become a space where people can meet, work, shop and plan.”

A CALL(ING) TO THE WILD

New, Former Animal Control Officers Talk Westerville’s Animal Kingdom Westerville Animal Control Officer Mary Dembiec has taken the reins of the City’s animal control officer operations after spending 24 years as a deputy dog warden for Franklin County. Kim Stambaugh handed off the leash (as it were) at the end of January, retiring after nearly 22 years of service to the community. Before Stambaugh left, she sat down with Dembiec for one last chat about the life of an animal control officer in our fine community.

“You never know what you’re going to get into. ‘Lions and tigers and bears, oh my,” said Stambaugh.

Despite its status as a Tree City USA (45 years running), Westerville isn’t exactly the biome of choice for most exotic animals. Surely, Dembiec is most likely to encounter raccoons, opossum and skunks (pee-yew!) on the job.

That doesn’t mean she is in for a dull experience. Take, for example, the almost 7-foot, 100-pound boa constrictor out for a walk with its owner while visiting the City. The owner stopped to chat with someone who was working on a car. At some point, the snake slithered its way into the engine of the vehicle, requiring the ingenuity of Stambaugh to free it.

A mighty team of one, Westerville’s animal control officer is called for everything from lost pets to critters found at crime scenes. With nearly a quarter of a century in the business under her belt, there’s not much that can rattle Dembiec. She’s wrangled at least a dozen alligators during her career, usually in connection with Franklin County narcotics investigations.

“Thankfully, most of them were four feet and under,” Dembiec said.

Then there was the small matter of Mikey, the 6-footlong alligator who lived in a fenced, private pond under the care of a veterinarian. According to Dembiec, Mikey “thought hide-and-seek was fun.” She assisted twice in moving him to an indoor enclosure.

“I’m jealous. She’s got more than me,” Stambaugh said.

“I’ve personally picked up three in Westerville. One was a baby dropped off at Jaycee pool. He scared everyone out of the pool.” All gators were sent to appropriate rescue locations.

Also in Dembiec’s repertoire? Wolves. Yes, in Franklin County. She estimates helping to catch eight to 10 of them.

“I actually caught one on a leash. He had been loose for a couple of months. He’d be spotted in neighborhoods and then run into a wooded area. He would follow people walking their dogs,” Dembiec said. Once captured safely, the wolf (pictured in the bottom left column) was transported to a rescue.

Their tales of exotic animals are, well, wildly entertaining, but Stambaugh and Dembiec say most of the stories that stick with them hit closer to home.

“It’s always a great feeling when you can get an animal home,” said Dembiec.

Stambaugh agrees.

“It’s the best thing ever,” she said. “Then you can go home and sleep well at night. I’ve lost a few nights of sleep worrying about pets that were wandering around out there because I knew their people were so stressed.”

Stambaugh says she’ll never forget Ben, the “noble mutt” who ran away from his foster family and hid in the woods for weeks. She worked with a local rescuer to find him and return him to his foster parents. But destiny was already in the works. The rescuer ended up adopting him and giving him a forever home.

“The wonderful person that helped find him decided to take him home, and he never left. We stay in touch and I get lovely pictures of Ben with his crew,” Stambaugh said.

While in Columbus, Ofc Dembiec was able to capture this stray wolf and return him to safety.

Story Behind the

Dembiec says she’ll always remember spending two weeks trying to get ahold of a homeless pup that had been on the loose. After many offerings of rotisserie chicken and dedicating many off-the-clock hours, she earned the pup’s trust. Eventually, the pup was able to be happily adopted.

If anything is abundantly clear after talking shop with two dedicated animal control professionals, it’s that the position requires a ton of heart and passion. Going the extra mile is simply all in a day’s work if that’s what’s needed to best serve animals and the community that loves them.

As the community sent off Stambaugh to her wellearned retirement (off to enjoy her 10-acre farm), she says she knows Westerville is in great hands. For her part, Dembiec says she’s excited to serve the community and its critters.

THAT SMELL: SKUNKS IN WESTERVILLE Over the years, some neighborhoods in Westerville have garnered an interesting reputation for a certain seasonal stench.

If you’re new to the community, it goes something like this: You’re standing on your porch when you feel a breeze. You take a whiff of the fresh air only for your olfactory senses to be ravaged by the acrid, sulphuric stench of skunk musk. You scurry inside and spare a thought for the poor soul who received the direct impact. Such is life, sometimes, in the suburbs.

The fact is, Westerville isn’t necessarily unique for skunk activity.

Retired Animal Control Officer Kim Stambaugh says there are more skunks per acre in urban and suburban environments (versus rural) due to the availability of food, water and shelter.

“The skunk’s bold markings and defensive behaviors—such as fluffing its fur, stamping on the ground with its front feet, and growling—serve as warnings when the animal feels threatened,” she says. “Skunks can spray accurately and effectively up to 15 feet, which is why the smell carries throughout neighborhoods.”

Stambaugh says there are ways to make your yard less hospitable to these critters: • Bring in unused pet food and water at night • Keep tight-fitting lids on garbage cans • Frequently harvest gardens and pick up fallen fruit • Restrict use of birdseed; skunks are attracted to it and to the birds and rodents that use the feeder • Seal up potential entry holes in and under buildings and decks

Thank you to MadScientist for providing a turtle and Gail Ceneskie for providing her pet skunk, Bella for our photos.

REMINDER:

You should never get close to or pick up a wild skunk.

Dogs are often targets of getting “skunked.” If a skunk is near your property, Stambaugh says you should make plenty of noise before letting your dog out to the yard.

Maintenance Scheduled for Maxtown Water Tank The City water tank that overlooks Hoff Woods Park is due for maintenance and updates to help extend the lifespan of the apparatus. Bids for the project open in the spring.

The scope includes a fresh coat of paint. In addition to providing a fresh look, the paint helps protect the steel, extending the life of the tank and helping to protect water quality. The work is expected to take at least a month.

During this time, a large curtain of material will be raised around the tank to contain paint materials. The tank was last painted in 2006.

Other updates included in the project include foundational concrete work, adding safety features.

Constructed in 1968, the tank can hold up to 1 million gallons of water. It supplies half of the households in the City. Water service is not expected to be impacted by this project.

Westerville has operated a public water supply since 1901.

The City’s Water Division runs a 7.5 million gallon a day water treatment facility serving more than 15,000 homes and businesses. The treatment plant is located at 312 W. Main St. and is operated 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Updates on tank improvements will be provided as needed on the City’s website (www.westerville.org) and Twitter (@tellwesterville).

Westerville Earns

Auditor of State Award with Distinction

The City of Westerville has earned the Auditor of State Award with Distinction for excellent financial record keeping and reporting. The award is the highest award offered by the Auditor of State’s office, presented to local governments and school districts upon the completion of a financial audit. Entities that receive the award meet certain criteria of a “clean” audit report.

City of Westerville Finance Director Lee Ann Shortland says the recognition affirms the core principles of Westerville fiscal management.

“The management of our financial resources paired with detailed, accurate reporting is a priority and responsibility we take seriously in Westerville,” said Shortland. “It shows the City meets financial standards that only about 20 percent of municipalities in the state of Ohio achieve.”

The Auditor of State’s office, one of five independently elected offices in Ohio, is responsible for auditing more than 5,600 state and local government agencies. The office provides financial services to local governments, investigates and prevents fraud in public agencies and promotes transparency in government.

JUSTICE CENTER TAKES SHAPE With expected completion this spring, the new Justice Center located at 229 Huber Village Blvd., is taking shape. The combined Police/Court facility will house all Westerville Division of Police (WPD) bureaus including Mayor’s Court, Investigations and Emergency Communications. Currently, these operations are dispersed across three separate City buildings (21, 28 and 29 S. State St., respectively, in Uptown Westerville).

WPD Chief Charles Chandler and Assistant Chiefs Holly Murchland, Steve Fridley and Ron McMillin (pictured L to R) joined members of Westerville City Council in signing a beam of steel (pictured). The beam was placed in September as the final structural piece, with interior construction beginning last fall.

The City purchased the building and land in 2017 with this purpose in mind. The building expansion is being financed through a voter-approved, 20-year bond issue and will address long-standing growth needs with its current more than 30-year-old building. This new space will unite staff and operations working across the City in multiple buildings and improve safety with a dedicated Mayor’s Court space.

Spring Break Worry-Free Tips to Keep your Home Safe While Away

Spring is almost here and with it comes spring break, the perfect time to get away from the chilly Ohio weather. As you plan your trip, remember to prepare your home as well.

DON’T PROMOTE YOUR UPCOMING TRIP ON SOCIAL MEDIA. While you should let your neighbors and family know you will be away, hold all photos and posts until you return. You don’t want to advertise to strangers, acquaintances and others that you will not be at home.

HOLD YOUR MAIL AND DELIVERIES. Mail piling up in the mailbox and boxes at your door is a clear indication to would-be criminals that no one is home. You can visit your local U.S. Post Office to have your mail held or register online at www.usps.com. Or, ask a trusted neighbor or friend to collect packages and mail while you’re away.

SET INDOOR AND OUTDOOR TIMERS FOR LIGHTS. Keep the illusion that you are home by setting timers for lights in different rooms of your home to go on and off at various times.

Set a timer on outdoor lights to go on at dusk and off at dawn.

ALERT YOUR SECURITY COMPANY AND POLICE DEPARTMENT. If you have a monitored alarm system they will be aware that a fire, burglary or burst pipe alarm isn’t a false alarm.

If you live within the City of Westerville, the Westerville Division of Police (WPD) offers a Vacation Emergency Notification program. If registered, WPD will notify you if an emergency occurs at your home. You can register at www.westerville.org/police.

Use these tips to help have a stress-free vacation knowing your home is safe while you are away.

Sycamore Trail Development Project to Honor Westerville’s Past

“Today, Alum Creek Reservoir covers much of the original village, but some homes still stand and there is a road, called Africa Road, linking Westerville to the former town,” Thomas said. “It reminds us of the people who escaped from slavery in search of the freedom to govern their own lives.”

A half-acre project in development at the northwest corner of Africa Road and Polaris Parkway will build upon Westerville’s first-class parks and trails system while honoring the City’s past. The Sycamore Trail development will feature symbolic elements including a shallow, stream-like water feature, the Big Dipper star constellation, information panels and an installation representing the North Star. The development will be rounded out with a wetland feature, gathering spaces, seating, overlooks and landscaping.

For more information on the Underground Railroad and Westerville’s role, please visit the Westerville History Museum (110 S. State St.) accessed through the Westerville Public Library.

However, an important part of the project is to highlight the significance of the Underground Railroad and Westerville’s role during that time period. To understand this, one must recognize the history and meaning behind Westerville’s Africa Road.

According to Westerville History Museum manager Nina Thomas, Samuel Patterson settled north of Westerville, in the small village of East Orange in 1824. A farmer, Patterson built several barns to store harvested food and grain and to house his animals. But those barns also served another purpose: to hide formerly enslaved people who were fleeing from slavery in the South.

Miriam Alston, the widow of plantation owner Oroon Alston, entrusted her slaves to her lawyer with $300 and an understanding that he provide a way for them to travel to a free state upon her death in 1855. Five years after Patterson reached central Ohio, a group of 28 freed African Americans began their journey from the Alston Plantation in North Carolina to freedom in East Orange.

Additional information will be available at www.westerville.org/parks.

Pilot Program Allows Online Zoning Permit Applications The City of Westerville is piloting an online portal to provide residents with a more convenient method to submit paperwork for residential projects. The Westerville Permit Portal allows residents to submit and track one-time permit applications online through the City’s website.

To start, applicants will only be allowed to submit forms which do not require fees and a formal plan review in this pilot program. Only certificates for fences, sheds, driveway extensions, PODS/dumpsters and patios are included in the opening phase of the program.

As part of the program, the City will continue to accept permits through the lobby window and mail (64 E. Walnut St.).

The City will eventually add more permits and applications to the portal, including those that require payment.

The first phase of the pilot program will end in June 2022, at which time the Department will require all applicants to apply for Phase One permits online moving forward. Phase Two will be rolled out later this year.

To read more about this program, visit www.westerville.org/forms and select “Permit Portal.” All questions regarding the portal should be directed to permit.portal@westerville.org.

Live Burn

Training with the WFD

DIV I SION OF FIRE

The Westerville Division of Fire (WFD) and neighboring fire agencies held a “live burn” exercise at a home along Hanawalt Road in November 2021. The controlled training scenario took approximately five hours.

“Westerville firefighters are world-class and that is reflected in their prioritization of continuous education and training. These live exercises offer an invaluable opportunity to practice fire suppression and rescue strategies,” said WFD Chief Brian Miller.

The old house was burned completely to make room for a new home to be built by the property owners. For updates about WFD, visit www.westerville.org/fire.

Annual Hydrant Flushing Program Keeps Lines in Good Health Nearly 2,500 City hydrants will be flushed this spring as part of Westerville Public Service’s annual maintenance. The annual hydrant flushing program begins at 11 p.m. on April 17 and continues around the clock through April 29.

The program is not expected to impact services or events surrounding the Easter holiday.

Flushing helps clear water lines of particulates that build up over time. It gives the City’s skilled crews the opportunity to carefully check each hydrant and valve for operational issues which need to be addressed in order to keep the hydrants in good working order for fighting fires.

Residents may notice a brown tint to their water after the hydrants in their neighborhood have been flushed. If this occurs, let the water run through the tap for a few minutes. Residents may also want to run their washer through a rinse cycle once before doing laundry.

Please contact the Westerville Department of Public Service at (614) 9016740 with any questions, concerns, or help in determining when hydrants will be flushed. The Department is open 7 a.m. – 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

A WESTERVILLE FAVORITE RETURNS

The

Spring Eggstravaganza

One of Westerville’s favorite annual spring events returns in a new location in March. The annual Eggstravaganza, which started more than 30 years ago, began as a simple community egg hunt with the Mayor of Westerville counting down for the quickest event in Westerville Parks and Recreation history.

“This was truly the longest preparation for the quickest event,” said Laura Horton, Recreation Facilities Manager for Westerville Parks and Recreation. “It took weeks for staff and volunteers to fill the plastic eggs each year and less than three minutes for them to be scooped up.”

The Westerville Lions Club volunteered each year to drop the plastic candy-filled eggs on the ball fields at Highlands Park.

Prize eggs and bunny visits rounded out the event for the 500700 children that took part.

Since then, before the pandemic, the event had grown with the Westerville community to require dedicated time slots and fields for each age range. Bounce houses, inflatable obstacle courses, petting zoos and carnival games were added as well as a move to the Westerville Sports Complex to allow for the more than 1,500 children to find their prized eggs. More than 8,000 eggs were split between the fields.

Last spring, mid-pandemic, it was decided to recreate the event to a Bunny Hop and Drop where registered families could either pick up a basket of goodies at the Community Center or schedule to have the Bunny drop by their house for photos and a basket drop-off. It was a big hit and well-needed.

This year, the egg hunt will evolve yet again in an effort to extend the two minutes it would take to hunt. The event moves to Hoff Woods Park, 535 McCorkle Blvd., while the new Veterans Memorial is being built at the Sports Complex.

“The Eggstravaganza will include a new photo area for the bunny, egg launches, egg drop competitions and family sack race relays,” said Derrick McPeak, Westerville Parks and Recreation Program Supervisor. “The event will also feature breakfast-themed food trucks, inflatables and other activities.”

For more information on Eggstravaganza, see page 23 or visit www.westerville.org/eggstravaganza.

Reset Your RESOLUTION If you are more than two months into a health and fitness resolution that’s not working for you, consider spring the opportunity to get unstuck. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recently published its annual Worldwide Survey of Fitness Trends, which may provide ideas for motivation and momentum to pick back up on a healthy 2022.

1. WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY

If you’re not already using a watch or wearable device to measure your activity, these can be game-changers with motivation. Counting your steps and calories burned while monitoring heart rate gives you instant feedback for your effort. Over time, compare the way you feel to real data. New innovations in wearable tech include capabilities to analyze blood pressure, oxygen saturation, body temperature and respiratory rate, as well as the ability to perform an electrocardiogram.

2. HOME EXERCISE GYMS

Home gyms are at their peak, appearing for the first time on the Trends list. A gym at home can be very scalable, with investments in minimal equipment to the more expensive brands of cycles. If you’re finding the gym is not for you because of distance, time or the “people” factor, try something at home and see if your consistency picks up.

3. OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

Walking, hiking and touring outdoors are increasingly more common, and expected to continue through the pandemic.

Lucky for us, Westerville has more than 40 parks and miles of connected recreational trails. You may find more outdoor programming from trainers and fitness professionals, or check out interest groups on social media for tips and group excursions.

4. STRENGTH TRAINING WITH FREE WEIGHTS

Experts think more people will pursue fitness routines this year using free weights, barbells, kettlebells, dumbbells and medicine balls. Learning and practicing the proper form and then progressively increasing the resistance can expedite results. Strength training is also a good strategy for breaking up the boredom if you’re stuck in a cardio routine that’s become stale. Check out the first floor of the Community Center fitness wing for a full spectrum of free weights.

5. EXERCISE FOR WEIGHT LOSS

ACSM says people are increasingly expected to focus on exercise for weight loss. A common reason, no doubt, but only one of many benefits of physical activity and exercise.

Resetting a resolution may benefit from the idea that even short doses of activity can have dramatic positive impacts, including lowering blood sugar, reducing stress and anxiety and improving mental health and wellbeing.
