BIKE SAFE WESTERVILLE For more than two decades, the City of Westerville has taken several steps to enhance the bike and walk route system including keeping its users safe. With the creation of more than 29 miles of multi-use trails that meander through parks, wooded areas, fields, over rivers and roads as well as along streets and through neighborhoods, being safe on the paths is an important priority.

In 2014, the City of Westerville Parks and Recreation Department and Division of Police launched the Bike Safe Westerville campaign with creation of two videos.

These videos were produced to educate cyclists of all ages who utilize the paths and streets.

4

- Randy Auler, Director of Parks and Recreation

Each video is geared towards a specific audience of either youth or adults. The youth video is led by Westerville Division of Police Sergeant Douglas Stephens, who goes through many questions and answers in a fun and friendly format for children. Local youth join him in his hands-on approach to bike safety. The second video in the series provides an in-depth tutorial of how cyclists should ride the paths when it comes to other riders, walkers and path users.

“

“

These two videos are an excellent start to our Bike Safe Westerville campaign. Our paths have been created for the enjoyment of our citizens and safety is a big part of that.

Westerville Parks and Recreation Department • (614) 901-6500 • www.wester ville.org

Why did the City begin the Bike Safe Westerville campaign?

Cycling is one of the most popular forms of recreation activity in the United States. Children use their bikes for play and transportation to school, while adults use them for exercise and transportation to work.

“We promote a healthy, active lifestyle in Westerville,” said Auler. “Our trail system is a big portion of that and we want to make it as safe and available as possible for people to utilize and feel safe doing so.”

According to a survey completed online at www.bikesbelong.org: A study of nearly 2,400 adults found that those who biked to work were fitter, leaner, less likely to be obese, and had better triglyceride levels, blood pressure, and insulin levels than those who didn’t actively commute to work.

Aerobic exercise [like cycling] can have an antidepressant effect.

An adult cyclist typically has a level of fitness equivalent to someone 10 years younger and a life expectancy two years above the average.

BICYCLE SAFETY TIPS Cycling can be great fun and offer great exercise for the cardiovascular system--so don’t be afraid to hop on a bike.

Just make sure you consider your safety first:

The Right Bike Get the right bike for you and for your child. A person’s ability to handle a bike is impaired when they ride one that is the wrong size.

Regular Checkups Check your bike on a regular basis to make sure it is working properly so it is ready. Make sure you have the necessary lights and reflectors.

Ride Right You should ride on right, in the same direction as the flow of traffic (not facing traffic).

Bike safety is important because: • 13% of bicycle-related deaths occur in those 14 and younger. (kidshealth.org) • Those age 15-24 years and 45 years and older have the highest bicycle death rates. (cdc.gov) • Children ages 5-14 years, adolescents, and young adults (15-24 years) have the highest rates of nonfatal bicyclerelated injuries, accounting for almost 60% of all bicyclerelated injuries seen in U.S. emergency departments. (cdc.gov) • Approximately 70% of all fatal bicycle crashes involve head injuries, but only 20-25% of all bicyclists wear bicycle helmets. (kidshealth.org) • Universal bicycle helmet use by children 4-15 would prevent 39,000-45,000 head injuries and 18,000-55,000 scalp and face injuries annually. (kidshealth.org) • Most bicyclist deaths occur in urban areas and at nonintersection locations. (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)

Get Some Gear Wear a properly fitted helmet.

Also think about getting knee and elbow pads.

• Societal costs related to bicycle head injuries or death exceed $8 billion. (kidshealth.org)

Ride Silent Listening to headphones can be a distraction for even the most experienced cyclists.

Stay alert and listen to music once you’ve reached your destination.

This campaign effort will continue to make Westerville a safe bike-friendly community.

Keep it Light Wear clothes in light or bright colors. Make sure your clothing and accessories cannot get caught up in gears, pedals, etc.

Join us on Saturday, May 16, 10 a.m. at Everal Barn at Heritage Park, 60 N. Cleveland Ave. for the Bike Safe Westerville open house and video screening. The event will be complete with informational tables, demonstrations, and hands-on bike stations for youth. There will also be an open bike ride along the path at Heritage Park so don’t forget your bikes.

GETS A FACELIFT

Replacement Playground Grand Opening May 28, 2015 The original City of Westerville park, now called Alum Creek Park North, is new again for 2015.

The history of Westerville’s park system was initiated in 1934 when the Village Council purchased nine acres of land south of Main Street and east of Alum Creek. In 1935, the land was developed to include an amphitheater, shelter house, a cabin for the Boy Scouts and a playground.

Playground installed.

93, 98 & 2003 Newly built Arch for the Amphitheater dedicated.

Since 1934, many updates have occurred at the park including name 5/20/2001 changes that included the original Municipal Park and now Alum Creek Park North. (Alum Creek South Park was developed as a Skate and BMX park in 2004 and is located at 535 Park Meadow Rd.) This spring will bring a replacement playground complete with slides, simulated rock climbing wall, a large play-web, Neos 360, rope bridge, timber trail bridge, and a Kids-Only Clubhouse. The Kiwanis train and swing set will be repositioned to create a fun, safe play area for children of all ages.

Join us on May 28, 2015 at Alum Creek Park North, 221 W. Main St. for Party at the Creek, from 6-8 p.m. as we celebrate the newly replaced playground and play area.

BACTERIAL LEAF SCORCH IN FRANKLIN COUNTY Tree Talk articles are presented by the Westerville Shade Tree Commission.

With the devastation caused by the Emerald Ash Borer still fresh on many minds, a new cause of destruction is hitting trees in Ohio and at least seven other states. Bacterial Leaf Scorch (BLS) was first discovered in the 1990’s in New Jersey and can infect many common landscape trees.

Recently BLS was found in trees in Worthington.

Transferred from tree to tree by insects that feed on the water carrying tissues in the leaf, the bacteria blocks the ability for water to travel throughout the leaf causing it to turn brown, shrivel and die off. Typically the infected leaves will turn brown from the outside edges slowly moving inward.

At first it appears only a few branches, but each year more will show signs of BLS. At this time the following trees are known to be susceptible to this issue: American Elm; Ginkgo; Hackberry; London Planetree; Maples (Red, Silver and Sugar); Mulberry; Oaks (Bur, Chestnut, Laurel, Live, Pin, Post, Red, Scarlet, Shingle, Water, White and Willow); Sycamore and Sweetgum.

It is difficult to determine if the browning of leaves is caused by simple lack of water, planting a variety of trees in the wrong climate or BLS. Currently, the only method to control the spread is to prune susceptible tree species when they do not have leaves. Pruning out infected branches may help, but may disfigure the tree. It is important to hire well educated arborists for this work as it is extremely important this is done correctly to help prevent spreading the disease.

Thinking of replacing or planting a tree?

Below are alternatives varieties: • Black Gum • Cucumbertree • European Beech • European Black Alder • Japanese Zelkova • Katsuratree • Kentucky Coffeetree • Linden (American, Little Leaf and Silver) • Northern Catalpa • Osage Orange • Tulip Poplar • Yellow Buckeye

The Shade Tree Commission meets the second Wednesday of each month, meetings are open to residents and the public. Information on the Commission can be found online at www.westerville.org/boardsandcommissions.

Residents can also contact the Parks and Urban Forest Manager at (614) 9016598 or matthew.ulrey@westerville.org for information on trees.

DON’T FORGET!

Hydrant Flushing Hydrant Flushing starts in the City of Westerville on Sunday, April 26, 2015.

All hydrants are flushed once a year to help clear the water lines of particulates that may build up over time. Crews also check the hydrants and valves for any operational issues which need to be addressed in order to keep the hydrants in good working order.

Residential Advanced MeterinG Comes to the City of westerville

Westerville residents will benefit starting this spring when Advanced Metering Systems are installed on their homes.

What is an Advanced Meter?

An Advanced Meter is an electronic device that measures consumption of electric energy and water usage in intervals of an hour or less and communicates that information at least daily back to the utility company for billing. Customers will have the ability to measure their electric and water usage at near realtime.

How do I keep track of my usage?

A Customer Care Portal allows users access to their electric and water usage through an online, secure portal available through the City’s website. Customers enter their username and password to gain access to their account. Once in their account, users may view their homes daily, weekly, monthly or yearly usage of electric and water.

Why Advanced Metering?

Advanced metering provides:

1. Automated meter reading,

2. Automated outage reporting,

3. Utility usage information for consumer use.

These features are expected to save utility customers money on their use of electricity and water. Both businesses and residents in Westerville have expressed the desire to automate their home or buildings energy management processes using advanced metering technology, thereby keeping pace with national and global competitors using similar technology.

When will the Advanced Meters be installed?

The residential advanced metering installation process will begin this spring, and is estimated to take up to four years to complete.

A tentative installation schedule and a thorough list of Frequently Asked Questions are available by visiting www.westerville.org/AMI. Residents will have the ability to opt out of the Advanced Metering Program by using a link to access the opt out form.

I still have questions.

Residents with questions are encouraged to contact the Westerville Electric Division at (614) 901-6700 or email AMI@westerville.org.

WESTAR PLACE

Hotel Announced as Centerpiece to Development Since the purchase of Westar Place in May of 2014, the City has been working closely with planners, developers and economic advisors to plan for office and retail development, as well as hotel and conference space. Last December, the City announced an agreement with Concord Hospitality to build a full-service Marriott Renaissance Hotel and Conference Center at Westar Place.

The planned eight-story, 224 room and suite hotel will feature nearly 20,000 square feet of meeting and convention space to meet the needs of the business community that is envisioned as part of the development.

The full-service hotel will also offer the latest in in-room dining options, as well as a three-meal restaurant. Like all Concord hotels, it will be designed to meet LEED standards. Concord Hospitality, the company selected to develop and operate the hotel, expects to begin construction yet this year.

Westar, formerly known as ALTAIR Business Park, is a tract of 62 acres located east of Interstate 71 along the south side of Polaris Parkway and east of Cleveland Avenue in Westerville. It has become a desirable location for commercial and office development, and is already home to corporate headquarters and businesses in the health care, technology and financial services sectors.

The plans for this premier commercial space include up to

one million square feet of additional Class A office space, meeting space demands for business attraction and retention efforts and are expected to attract more than 3,000 jobs to the Westerville community.

Continental Realty/Continental Real Estate will coordinate development for Westar Place, leading the site’s marketing and sales efforts for mixed-use development.

Development of the Westar area was funded by an approximately $30 million public infrastructure investment in the late 1990s, extending Cleveland Avenue, Polaris Parkway and County Line Road, along with the associated utilities. Since then, the area has steadily grown, generating more than 7,000 jobs and returns exceeding that initial investment and has become the growing regional epicenter of commerce in the area.

FOR SEVERE WEATHER

LIGHTNING PREDICTION SYSTEM

In an ongoing effort to provide the safest park facilities possible the City of Westerville maintains a lightning prediction system at several parks including Alum Creek North Park, Sports Complex, Heritage Park, Towers Park, Huber Village Park, Walnut Ridge Park, Hoff Woods Park and Highlands Park. The systems are primarily located in parks that play host to team athletic activities such as soccer and baseball.

These systems operate by detecting increases in static electrical charge in the air and activate an audible signal and flashing strobe light to indicate the conditions are right for the appearance of lightning. When the alarms are activated, outdoor activities in these areas should be suspended and everyone should seek shelter until the allclear signal is given: three short blasts of the siren and the strobe will cease to flash.

It is important to remember that, while this system is set up to predict lighting in the area, it should never replace common sense.

If you are outside and you hear thunder or see lightning you should immediately move to safety, even if the warning system has not activated.

What to do if YOU ARE: In a forest

In an open area

On open water

Seek shelter in a low area under a thick growth of small trees.

Go to a low place such as a ravine or valley. Be alert for flash floods.

Get to land and find shelter immediately.

Watch , warning or advisory

The National Weather Service (NWS) is responsible for issuing severe weather watches, warnings and advisories to alert the public when dangerous weather conditions are expected.

Watch - potential or conditions exist for a dangerous weather event.

Warning - a dangerous weather event is imminent. Immediate action must be taken to protect life and property.

Advisory - weather conditions less serious than a warning are imminent that may be threatening to life and property.

KNOW THE Facts about Lightning

Facts about TORNADOES

Lightning’s unpredictability increases the risk to individuals and property.

Tornadoes may strike quickly, with little or no warning.

Lightning often strikes outside of heavy rain and may occur as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall.

They may appear nearly transparent until dust and debris is picked up or a cloud forms in the funnel.

“Heat lightning” is actually lightning from a thunderstorm too far away from thunder to be heard. However, the storm may be moving in your direction.

The average forward speed of a tornado is 30 mph, but may vary from stationary to 70 mph.

Lightning strike victims carry no electrical charge and should be attended to immediately.

Facts about THUNDERSTORMS Thunderstorms may occur singly, in clusters or in lines.

Some of the most severe occur when a single thunderstorm affects one location for an extended time.

Thunderstorms typically produce heavy rain for a brief period, anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.

Warm, humid conditions are highly favorable for thunderstorm development.

About 10 percent of thunderstorms are classified as severe, with possibilities of hail and winds of 58 mph or higher or produces a tornado.

FACTS ABOUT WIND High Wind Watch/Warning - A potential of high wind speeds of 40 mph and/or gusts greater than or equal to 58 mph developing that may pose a hazard or is life threatening.

Wind Advisory - A potential of wind speeds of 31 and 39 mph for an hour or more, or any instantaneous wind gust between 46 mph and 57 mph is expected.

Waterspouts are tornadoes that form over water.

Peak tornado season in the northern/midwest states is late spring through early summer.

Tornadoes may occur in any season and at any time of day..

FACTS ABOUT FLOODING Flooding is caused by spring thawing (snow and frozen grounds melting in the spring), heavy rains, snow melt runoffs, flash floods, and mudflows.

Flash floods can bring walls of water from 10 to 20 feet high.

A car can be taken away in as little as two feet of water so do not drive into flood waters.

Communities particularly at risk are those located in low-lying areas, near water, or downstream from a dam.

To stay safe during a flood, go to the highest ground or floor possible.

Continued Growth for our Customers:

Learn-To-Swim Program

This spring, Westerville Parks and Recreation Department is enhancing the registration process by offering a separate registration schedule for its learnto-swim program.

The learn-to-swim program is one of the few programs where skills build as participants advance through levels of class, so the chance of signing up for an incorrect swim lesson level is elevated. Having additional registration times will provide parents the ability to schedule their children in the class that they have progressed into.

“Much thought has been put into this new schedule,” said Bill Plessinger, Westerville Parks and Recreation Aquatics Manager. “We have created a set-up where you register your child for their next class after they are finished with the current one so there is less confusion about which level is correct.”

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

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.

LEARNING IS

NOT JUST FOR KIDS! “Lifelong learning may be broadly defined as learning that is pursued throughout life: learning that is flexible, diverse and available at different times and in different places. Lifelong learning crosses sectors, promoting learning beyond traditional schooling and throughout adult life.” (Llcq.org) So what is the benefit of learning throughout your life, not just from school or as a child? Pursuing knowledge as an adult does more for you than you think. Whether you learn Home Buying, How to Downsize (pg. 32), Advanced Digital Photography or Spanish (pg. 34) – learning keeps the mind and body engaged and awake.

continuous learning Learning as an adult will keep your mind sharp and improve your memory, increase your self-confidence and feeling of accomplishment, help you meet people who share your interests or give you a new interest to share with family and friends.

There is another aspect to learning as an adult that may help your career. Learning as an adult will build on skills you already have but may have not taken advantage of in some time. It can save you money as you learn to “do it yourself” and offers an opportunity to learn a new skill or trade that may help increase your self-worth or give you the edge in getting that promotion.

So, learning is not just for kids! You can learn at any age, even as an adult!

What can DANCE teach your child?

Spring is the perfect time to sign your children up for dance classes through Parks and Recreation. In addition to dance being a great exercise for their growing bodies, dancing also helps children to build essential life skills.

• A structured class, outside of school, in addition to extra-curricular activities can teach a child time management. What better way for them to learn how to get their homework done, play with friends, take a class and practice a sport all in one night and still get to bed on time.

• Learning a dance routine takes concentration and exertion. Through dance, you child will be more focused and quite possibly better behaved, giving them a greater opportunity to be productive both in school and out.

• Taking a dance class will not only give them structure and exercise, but it gives them an opportunity to see what their hard work and effort can do. In dance you learn skills that will be put together in a routine. If you do not learn the skills, you cannot complete the task of the routine. This teaches them self-confidence and self-esteem as they learn.

38 38

CREATIVE ARTS • Giving your child the opportunity to take a group class, where each person is dependent on another will promote strong social skills while teaching them how to be a team player. Children will learn how to trust each other, communicate and cooperate with other kids their age as well as an adult instructor giving them accountability.

So, what is spring going to teach your child? Sign them up for a dance class or two and see how they prosper.

Many different classes are available from Ballet to Dance Expressions. Preschool through adult dance classes can be found on pages 44-45.

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

Scan this QR code with your smartphone or camera phone to be instantly connected to the Parks and Recreation page of the website.

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

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

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

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

The Community Center also offers meeting and gathering space.

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