Water Treatment Plant COMES ONLINE

AVERAGE 2015 RESIDENTIAL WATER BILL (MONTH)

Since 1901, Westerville has been in the water business, operating the community’s public water supply. In fact, improving the City’s water operation in 1915 was one of the reasons Westerville adopted the then-new form of Council-Manager government (see page 8).

Today, the Water Division runs a 7.5 million gallon a day water treatment facility serving more than 13,000 homes and businesses. The Treatment Plant, located at 312 W. Main Street, has been under construction to upgrade the treatment process for more than 18 months. Planning for the project started well before construction, however, in part in anticipation of new federal guidelines for water quality.

The $12 million facility is designed to comply with two new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, as well as maintain and improve the quality of water service provided to Westerville customers. The project includes a new water treatment facility adjacent to the existing water treatment plant, adding a second filtration step to the existing treatment process.

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filtration is the enhanced feature of the facility, helping improve water quality during the treatment process. GAC is similar in process to home charcoal-filtration devices. It is equipped to remove a large variety of potential contaminants that may exist at extremely low levels and ultimately helps establish compliance with new federal drinking water regulations.

The project was financed by low-interest rate loans from the Ohio EPA and a revised water rate structure. While the average residential water bill is projected to increase by about $2 per month over the next five years. Westerville water rates remain the lowest in Central Ohio.

“Our Water Treatment Plant served us well for more than 40 years,” said Richard Lorenz, Water Utility Manager for the City of Westerville. “Westerville’s water is reliable and delivered to customers with the lowest average water bill in the region. This project takes us into the next generation of utility standards and keeps water service at home in Westerville.”

A dedication and ribbon-cutting for the new Plant will take place at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 26 right before Party at the Creek. Tours of the Plant will take place immediately following the ribbon cutting. The public is invited to walk through the facility and learn about each step in the public water supply treatment process.

COMMUNITY CENTER ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

The annual Westerville Community Center maintenance is going into overdrive! After 16 years of being open to the public with millions of people enjoying the amenities, the building still looks new.

This is only possible through the care and rigorous cleaning by the Parks Maintenance crew; their daily inspections and planning to identify issues before they become problems that affect the integrity of the building and guests.

This year, in addition to the two week annual maintenance scheduled in August, the Watering Hole will close for an additional two weeks. Beginning August 15, the Watering Hole ceiling is scheduled to be painted while roof repairs are being completed.

This preliminary plan will extend the pool closure until September 11. As in years past, the Highlands Park Aquatic Center (HPAC) will be open with extended hours to accommodate passholders and daily attendees. While inconvenient for a short time, this extended closure will ensure the Watering Hole continues to be the home for adult and youth aquatic adventures for years to come.

2016 ANNUAL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE General Maintenance and Repairs Community Center Aug 15 - Sept 5 Ceiling Painting and Roof Repairs Watering Hole Aug 15 - Sept 11

WESTERVILLE RECEIVES UPGRADED INSURANCE RATING FOR FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES

The Westerville Division of Fire has received an upgrade in its rating from the Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO) to class “2” following an evaluation and assessment of the department last fall. ISO rates fire departments/districts on a 10-point scale, with class 1 being the best possible rating and class 10 being the worst. The announcement upgrades WFD’s rating from a class 3, which it has held for about two decades.

ISO is a standardized, national rating system that evaluates and assigns a number on its scale regarding the condition of the community’s fire protection systems. Only 1,060 of more than 48,000 fire departments across the nation have earned a class 2 designation. Violet Township is the only other fire district in Central Ohio to receive the class 2 rating.

“Ultimately a better ISO rating translates into money saved for the residents and businesses in Westerville and Blendon Township,” said Fire Chief Brian Miller. “We’re incredibly proud to have achieved this rating level and will continue to work to ensure the safety of the community through the services of the Westerville Fire Division.”

The rating becomes effective April 1, 2016.

WESTERVILLE LINEWORKERS Compete in local, national rodeos In 2001, the American Public Power Association (APPA) held the first public power lineworkers rodeo which allowed lineworkers from across the United States and Canada to demonstrate skills and professional knowledge. At the annual rodeo, journeyman and apprentice lineworkers compete for professional recognition, attend training courses, connect with and learn from public power utilities from across the country and practice essential lineworker skills. In 2014, American Municipal Power (AMP), located in Columbus, Ohio, began offering a rodeo for those in and around the state of Ohio. AMP is a nonprofit wholesale power supplier and services provider for 132 members in nine states, including the City of Westerville.

At APPA and AMP, Westerville Lineman, Cody Leitner is referred to as the “Throwback Kid.” Generations of the Leitner family have held careers in linework. Leitner, his team, and fellow apprentices take extreme pride in their line work and dedicate time to studying and practicing best practices. This dedication and passion is evident during local and national rodeo competitions.

At the 2014 Rodeo, the City of Westerville Journeyman Team (consisting of Todd Head, Chuck Penny, Chris Revennaugh and Jeremy “JJ” Savage) were awarded first overall at the AMP competition, after placing first in all five competition challenges. Michael Roark was awarded third overall in the apprentice competition and Leitner placed first in the apprentice framing event and hurtman rescue challenge. As a result of these outstanding scores, AMP sponsored the apprentices and team to travel to the APPA national rodeo. Last year, the Westerville Journeyman Team placed in the top 10 at the national competition in Sacramento, California.

Last August the Westerville Journeyman Team (consisting of Todd Head, Cody Leitner, Chris Revennaugh and Jeremy JJ Savage) again took first overall at the AMP Rodeo in Columbus and Michael Roark placed second overall in the apprentice competition. As a result of the division’s dedication to workplace excellence, AMP will again sponsor the team to attend the APPA national rodeo competition in Minneapolis this April.

“I love line work. It’s in my blood. It’s not every day you can wake up and love what you do.

I’m just proud I can carry on the family tradition.”

- Cody Leitner Westerville Lineworker

A Century of

COUNCIL-MANAGER GOVERNMENT

The year was 1915, when on July 31, 393 Westerville voters went to the polls to decide the future structure of Westerville’s local government. With a vote of 258 in favor and 135 against, Westerville would become the first village in the state of Ohio to adopt the Council-Manager form of government.

The decision that led to the issue being placed on the ballot was born from frustration after decades of dysfunction and political discord. Poor city utilities, conflicts over infrastructure improvements and ineffective management were among the chronic issues that plagued our then-burgeoning community.

Three years previously, in 1912, James M. Cox was elected governor of Ohio and introduced an era of progressive reform for local governance. Among the most meaningful reforms was the newfound ability of municipalities to adopt the Council-Manager form of government. (The Council-Manager system is one in which City Council serves as the legislative body and provides for professional management through an appointed, trained municipal administrator. Oversight and management of day-to-day operations are the responsibilities of the City Manager, a professional position authorized to serve at the pleasure of City Council as the City’s chief executive.)

During and leading up to the time a century ago, proponents of reform argued it was a critical step to eradicate years of entrenched political machines, patronage, and abuses of power. There was more than a year of public debate as the merits of CouncilManager governance were considered in both the community and local media. From eliminating party politics via non-partisan elections to promoting a more business-oriented approach to governance and saving public dollars by eliminating waste and enhancing accountability, advocates of this new system won over Westerville voters by touting advantages of reform.

So it was, on January 1, 1916, Westerville became the first community in the region to adopt the form of government used commonly today with roughly 7 of 10 local governments over 2,500 in population working under some form of professional management.

“The Council-Manager form of government is like a business,” said long-serving Westerville City Council member Mike Heyeck. “Like a CEO ensures continuity in the private sector, the City Manager helps assure a long-term continuity in the business of running a city.

When you’re building roads that last decades and when you’re looking to attract employers that we hope will be here for decades, it’s much better to have that longview, and the Council-Manager form of government ensures that continuity.”

Current Westerville City Manager, David Collinsworth, is the 15th City Manager to serve in the role. Hired in 2007 to succeed the retiring Dave Lindimore, Collinsworth previously served the cities of Tipp City and Miamisburg, Ohio as City Manager and Assistant City Manager, respectively.

TREE CITY USA HONORS LOCAL COMMUNITIES Tree Talk articles are presented by the Westerville Shade Tree Commission.

Westerville is poised to earn its 40th year as a “Tree City USA” community. What goes into earning that distinction? Is it solely based on the number of trees planted?

According to the Arbor Day Foundation, there are four core standards of sound urban forestry that must be met to qualify for Tree City USA. These include having an organized tree board or department (Westerville has the Shade Tree Commission), have a community tree ordinance (Westerville’s Code of Ordinance is Chapter 907 – Trees, a complete list of ordinances can be found at www.westerville. org/government/codified-ordinances); spend at least $2 per capita on urban forestry (Westerville spent $18.40 per capita in 2015 which included salaries, materials and services for everything from tree planting to tree removal); and celebrate Arbor Day annually (Westerville has an Arbor Day Poster contest for 3rd-5th grade students with an awards ceremony and tree planting on Arbor Day).

The Arbor Day Foundation stresses the value for communities who strive to earn the designation.

These values are: • Reduce energy costs, storm water management and erosion control • Cut energy consumption by up to 25% • Boost property values • Improve community pride • Build stronger ties to neighborhoods and community More than 3,400 communities in the United States have met these standards and have been awarded the designation. In Ohio, there are more than 240 communities (cities, townships and villages) with Westerville being one of only three that have been awarded each year since the program’s inception (Springfield and Wooster also received the award for 39 years).

2016 will mark the 40th anniversary of the Tree City USA awards. Westerville has the honor to host the regional presentation of awards in April 2016.

The program will draw local government officials, forestry staff and others for a daylong event that will display Westerville and its urban forestry program as well as its varied history including our part in the Underground Railroad.

New “Wayfaring” Signs Offer Additional Benefits for Pathway Users

Pathway users will now have a better sense of direction while walking, jogging or bike riding along the recreational path system in the City of Westerville thanks to the installation of new wayfaring signage. The wayfaring project launched in 2014, provides a clear visual guide encouraging walking, jogging and bicycle riding along the Westerville Bike & Walkway (B&W) around the area.

WHAT IS WAYFARING? Wayfaring can be defined as any travel, especially by foot or other non-motorized transportation.

“The signage provides users the ability to travel along our paths by pointing out key areas that include trails they may have never utilized, historic sites, bicycle shops throughout the City, restrooms at our parks, and local hospitals and medical facilities should they need them.” said Randy Auler, Westerville Parks and Recreation Director.

There are six types of wayfaring signs installed around the City of Westerville. These include: IDENTIFICATION SIGNS Identify a destination, place or environment.

INFORMATIONAL SIGNS Mainly located at the beginning of a trailhead providing information on that segment, including a map of the area and full trail.

REGULATORY SIGNS Regulate trail users behavior as they are riding/walking on the paths. These include stop signs and activity triangles explaining right-of-way.

HUB SIGNS Offers a full size map of the City Recreational Pathway system including a “You are Here” point. These signs are available at locations that offer restrooms and parking.

EXAMPLE OF AN IDENTIFICATION SIGN

LARGE WAYFARING SIGNS Directs people to various destinations within the City.

SMALL WAYFARING SIGNS Mainly at intersections where more than one turn is required to get to a location. These signs are small, adhered to a pole and are about seven feet off ground.

EXAMPLE OF AN INFORMATIONAL SIGN 12

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

EXAMPLE OF A REGULATORY SIGN

“There are a total of 161 wayfaring signs installed throughout the City. On any given day, someone will be positively impacted while on the paths - whether it be through direction from the new signage, health and wellness in using the paths or just enjoyment of the preserved space.”

- Randy Auler

Westerville Parks and Recreation Director

This new signage continues the use of graphic communication of information and joins the current signage already in place throughout the City’s parks. This signage includes:

EXAMPLE OF A HUB SIGN

INTERPRETIVE SIGNS Help people interpret the meaning of an environment by providing information on its history, geography, inhabitants, artifacts, and more.

OPERATIONAL SIGNS Inform people about an environment’s use and operations.

WARNING SIGNS Alert people of source of danger or safety procedures within an environment.

EXAMPLE OF A LARGE WAYFARING SIGN

NEW WESTERVILLE TRAIL AND PATH MAP Beginning spring 2016, trail and path users will have a new, easy to use map app that will breakdown path mileage, facility and park locations, schools and hospitals in the area as well as what restrooms are open throughout the year and where you can park your bike in the City. The web app is available on the City website www.westerville.org/parksandpaths. A mobile app is available through the City website home page at www.westerville.org.

ARTS The foundation is committed to helping to provide different art experiences to the citizens of Westerville.

The Arts in Westerville WESTERVILLE PARKS AND RECREATION CIVIC THEATRE ANNOUNCES ITS 2016 SEASON This summer, the Westerville Parks and Recreation Civic Theatre will present Disney’s The Little Mermaid. Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved stories and the classic animated film, Disney’s The Little Mermaid is a hauntingly beautiful love story for the ages. Ariel, King Triton’s youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric in the world above and bargains with the evil sea witch, Ursula, to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems and Ariel needs the help of her colorful friends Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull, and Sebastian the crab to restore order under the sea.

With music by eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater, and a compelling book by Doug Wright, this fishy fable will capture your heart with its irresistible songs including “Under the Sea,” “Kiss the Girl,” and “Part of Your World.”

“It is absolutely a step up from many other community theater programs.”

Char Anderson Civic Theatre Cast Member In December, Westerville’s fictional radio station, KPNF, will be back to broadcast another holiday classic: “A Christmas Carol: A Live Radio Play.” The Charles Dickens holiday classic comes to life as a live 1940s radio broadcast, complete with vintage commercials for fruitcake (extra-fancy), and the magic of live sound effects and musical underscoring. A handful of actors bring dozens of characters to the stage, as the familiar story unfolds. Three ghosts take Ebenezer Scrooge on a thrilling journey to teach him the true meaning of Christmas. This radio play is a charming take on a family favorite that will leave no one saying “Bah Humbug!”

We hope that you join us for these two classic productions that are sure to provide plenty of fun and entertainment for the whole family! See you at the show!

Coming Fall 2016!

Look for information in the summer edition of the Community Recreation Guide.

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.

SAFETY SKILLS

FOR ALL AGES

The City of Westerville is offering many ways for all ages to learn how to be safe and keep others safe this spring.

Does your pre-teen bug you to let them stay home by themselves? Sign them up for the new Home Alone! class offered in April. This class is specially designed for ages 8 – 12 years with training in everything from reading a map to cooking.

Have a teen that loves to babysit? Over 32% (US Census) of childcare in the United States is provided by a nonrelative and parents have some high standards when it comes to safety. Parents are most likely going to hire someone with certified training and the Parks and Recreation American Red Cross Babysitting class will teach just that. Ages 10 and up will learn first aid and be prepared to handle any babysitting emergency.

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

CONTINUOUS LEARNING According to the American Heart Association, 88% of cardiac arrests happen in the home. The adult CPR offered in April and May may very well help you to save the life of someone you love. These classes will be taught by either the Heart Association or the American Red Cross and will be held at the Station 111 Fire House.

MAKING A HOMECOOKED MEAL- A LOST ART ?

Trends throughout the years have shown that many adults are getting their meals outside the home instead of cooking them in their own kitchens.

Children, in turn, are following this path and eating much more fast food and processed foods than in the past.

CREATIVE ARTS Homecooked meals are on average 13% healthier than restaurant meals.

13

%

(www.dailymail.co)

Average family eats out 74% of the time with only 26% eating a homecooked meal. (www.dailymail.co)

A home cooked meal is not only often less expensive, but if done correctly, much healthier. If families eat just three home cooked meals per week they can increase their healthy food consumption by 24% (Elana Natker, MS 2011) and lower their risk of developing Type-2 diabetes by 13% (nynaturalnews.com.)

42 42

Finding the time to teach children how to use healthy ingredient and cook a meal can be a difficult task in today’s world. Ages 2 – 14 can learn the basics of cooking in one of the many classes offered this spring with Westerville Parks and Recreation. From Tiny Top Chef to Perfect Picnic, participants will learn how to measure, mix and prepare meals for the whole family to enjoy.

For more information on cooking classes Westerville Parks and Recreation, see page 47.

The Lorax is an ecological warning that still rings true today.

There are brilliantly whimsical Humming Fishes, delightfully original Bar-Ba-Loots and weirdly undulating Truffula Trees.

The Once-ler greedily chops them down to produce and mass-market Thneeds. Our fate now rests in the hands of the caring actors who become our last chance for a clean, green future. The last class will be a performance at the Columbus Arts Festival on June 11.

TRAINING FOR ENDURANCE

With the trend of athletes around the country moving towards competing in marathons and triathlons, training must move forward also. According to runningusa.org, there’s been a 47% increase of U.S. marathon finishers since 2000.

Thinking about entering a marathon or triathlon? Active. com has put together six reasons for you to take the plunge and register: GET FIT. Training for 26.2 miles will help increase your endurance. It will help make your heart stronger, improve circulation, and strengthen your muscles. You may also see improvements such as feeling less stress and being more upbeat on a regular basis.

RAISE MONEY AND AWARENESS FOR A CHARITY. Many runners now combine their marathon goal with the goal of helping others by raising money for charity. It’s difficult to quit when someone else has donated on your behalf.

STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE. It’s true that running a marathon is a challenge that requires commitment and perseverance. That being said, every time you step outside out of your comfort zone and accomplish something new, you grow stronger and become more confident.

50 50

HEALTHY ACTIVE LIFESTYLE MAKE NEW FRIENDS. The running community is amazingly tight knit, welcoming and diverse.

Training for a marathon with friends is always easier and many fellow marathoners welcome newcomers with open arms.

THE SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT. There’s nothing more rewarding than accomplishing a large goal you set. Running a marathon is one of the largest physical challenges you can set for yourself.

INSPIRE OTHERS. When others see you train and cross that finish line, someone will follow your lead and start running. They might even run their own marathon or face a different fear.

If you are committed to an endurance event (triathlon, half or full marathon) in 2016 and in need of advice on training or nutrition, the Westerville Parks and Recreation Department has added programs just for you. These classes address a variety of aspects that include running, biking, and swimming as well as educational workshops for your nutritional needs.

This is an excellent workshop for cyclists who may be comfortable on bike trails but not sure about taking their bikes onto the roadways.

The Barre will aid you to achieve body balance, and give you more concentrated toning, allowing you to take your muscles deeper into each exercise, through a more complete and dynamic range of motion.
