KEY TO A NEW HANBY PARK The Westerville Parks & Recreation Department has a long tradition of engaging the community before a new project comes to life. And, with a reputation as a nationally recognized parks system, care and attention to detail are also part of the successful recipe. As the “new” Hanby Park starts to move forward, projects and partnerships characteristic of Westerville has laid a strong foundation.

STARTING WITH PARKING The first step in the project was not unlike most others: construction. The Hanby Park Parking Lot Improvement Project started last February and was complete in August (see photo). This piece of the project was conducted in partnership with the Westerville Public Library, adding more than 60 spaces to the Library surface parking lot area.

The site is the latest in a long series of parking improvements in Uptown designed to respond to the District’s accessibility and increased demand. To meet and exceed this increased demand for parking, the City Hall parking lot reopened last year with new parking spaces along with alley improvements that better circulate traffic and help enhance pedestrian safety. New street parking is also available in front of

Hanby Elementary, while the parking lot at State and Home Streets has been resurfaced to improve both the quantity and quality of spaces.

In the spirit of collaboration, the Library held steady while the project underwent the seven-month process.

“This kind of partnership between the City and the Library exemplifies the ‘Westerville Way,’ a unique commitment to the deep and enduring ties that unite our community to benefit all who live, learn, visit and work in Westerville,” said Westerville City Council Chairman Craig Treneff. “An influx of new and returning visitors required that we proactively consider our public parking options, so that everyone who wants to shop, eat and explore here can do just that.”

MORE THAN ASPHALT: A PATH TO PARKS

ACCESSIBLE UPTOWN

Part of the prestige of having the five-star Westerville Public Library is the high visitation rate the facility enjoys. Expanded parking and park development pairs perfectly, benefiting residents and the business community who call Westerville home. It’s also a symbol that the City understands visitors across central Ohio travel here to enjoy Uptown.

Another key element of the Hanby Park site will be its contribution to the momentum in Uptown. Uptown Westerville has always been at the heart of this community, with new visitors regularly taking note of its charm and appeal.

With the new asphalt in place, the site begins to better integrate Uptown with the community’s expansive parks and trails system. New pedestrian and bike connections improve connectivity between the Library and the Ohioto-Erie Trail, a collection of trails spanning from Cleveland to Cincinnati. The Train Depot remains positioned along this route to serve as a vital pit-stop for local and visiting cyclists who set course through the community.

In anticipation of the project, the “old” Hanby Park playground structure was dismantled to accommodate the expanded parking lot and donated to an orphanage in Mantanzilla, Mexico. (There are strict U.S. safety regulations that prohibit the re-assembly of park equipment.) Volunteers from the Westerville Sunrise Rotary Club helped identified this opportunity, donating their time and even traveling to Mexico to help re-home the old equipment.

In the past year alone, Whit’s Frozen Custard, Shirley’s Gourmet Popcorn, 8 State Bistro and Asterisk Supper Club have opened their doors. The highly anticipated Northstar Café, which is taking shape now more than ever, plans to open just across the street from this location in early 2017.

This is an exciting time for Westerville, and all of these developments represent tangible examples of our community’s progress and vitality. As Hanby Park and Uptown absorb the culture and character of new businesses and visitors, it will continue to represent the tradition of excellence in Westerville Parks & Recreation.

Still want to contribute to the process? Visit www. westerville.org/parks to learn more and offer input about Hanby Park.

Concepts for Hanby Park were shared with the community throughout late summer. It will soon be rebuilt with new equipment and outdoor attractions unique not only in the neighborhood but in the community park system as a whole. Water elements and new-generation play equipment and surfaces are being explored for the area.

After hosting a series of public open houses for residents to view concepts, Parks & Recreation staff says the ideas are generating excitement.

“We love watching residents light up when they see a concept that captures their imagination,” said Randy Auler, Westerville Parks & Recreation Director. “Hanby Park is going to be a special neighborhood park with a strong, inviting community vibe. We’re looking forward to introducing new features that will further Westerville’s reputation as a ‘City within a Park.’”

ONLINE RESIDENT SURVEY

Residents of the City of Westerville are invited to participate in an Online Resident Survey. Survey findings are used by the City to prepare and evaluate opportunities in order to best meet the community needs and ensure a high level of service in alignment with our local resources and programs. Postcards mailed to residents earlier this November have a unique passcode to use when completing the survey. If a passcode is needed or you would like additional information on how the survey results will be used, please call Community Affairs at (614) 901-6400.

How do you fit?

WESTERVILLE PARKS AND RECREATION It’s that time of year again when the bulk of advertising is strewn with either holiday gifts, gym memberships or ways to lose weight on a fad diet and you say to yourself, “I am going to get in shape this year!”

There is just one major challenge: how do you find a plan that suits you?

Start from the beginning, of course. If you’ve ever tried to get in shape, chances are you’ve tried a combination of any of the following: setting a goal of a healthier lifestyle by joining a gym, counting calories, trying a new diet, taking a kickboxing, yoga or other aerobics class. If you were not happy with your results or worse, unable to maintain your commitment, then you now know what doesn’t work for you. It is time for you to find your fit.

START A HABIT – AND STICK TO IT! Why a habit and not a goal? Based on an article on MonthlyExperiments.com, habits define who we are.

‘Habits can mean the difference between being rich or poor, healthy or unhealthy, happy or unhappy, stressed out or stress-free.’

If you reach your goal, what is next? Do you go back to your old ways? By definition, habits are effortless.

If you can create a new habit, you will have that for life! But, if you feel you NEED a goal – make your habit your goal!

Once you have made the decision to change your habits, you will need the how, the why and the who in order to succeed. These are composed of: Motivation –why you want to get in shape Education – how will you find the best way to get in shape Support – who will help and has been in your position or knows what you are going through.

MOTIVATION You can find motivation in any area of your life. Do you have young kids and want to be more active to keep up with them? Have you been feeling under-the-weather and want to feel better? Is that reunion just around the corner? This is your motivation. Remember it!

EDUCATION Once you’re motivated, how do you start? If you don’t like running, swimming or group aerobics, then choose NOT to do those things. Like to ride a bike?

Do it. Lift weights? Add that in. Walk? Go for it! Once you have figured this out, follow these steps:

6

1. Start Slowly. Be realistic. You aren’t going to start out running a marathon to stay fit. If running is not your thing but you aspire to become a runner, start with a fast walk. Move into a slow jog, followed by bursts of a fast jog. If you continue this over many weeks, it will become a habit and be easier to follow.

2. Exercise the same time every day, slowly increasing the time, even if you don’t feel like it.

Schedule it into your calendar if necessary. If you work out the same time every day, it will become easier no matter what is going on or where you are.

Face it, you’re more likely to be happy you worked out than regret missing a session.

3. Be Positive. According to Gabriele Oettingen, Ph.D., psychologist at New York University and author of Rethinking Positive Thinking: Inside the New Science of Motivation, if you identify your wish and visualize the outcome, you can identify what’s holding you back. This is a technique she calls “mental contrasting.” So, imagining the obstacle and a way to overcome will help you make better choices in the future.

4. Give Yourself a Real Reward. Journalist Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business advises making the benefits of working out more tangible, such as by treating yourself to a smoothie or an episode of your favorite TV show afterwards. Over time, the motivation becomes intrinsic, as the brain begins to associate sweat and pain with the surge of endorphins; those feel-good chemicals released in the brain that are responsible for that “I-feelamazing” rush you get after a great gym session.

Once you’ve trained your brain to recognize that the workout itself is the reward, you won’t even want the treat.

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

Consider this.

“Do one or two things that you can be successful at over a week or a couple of weeks. And once you get a groove going, add another thing, then another. And finally you’re going to see that you’re doing more healthy things than unhealthy things, and you’re feeling great and you just want to keep building on that.”

- J. Mauer, former Couch Potato.

SUPPORT There are many locations to find help and support.

Enlist your Family and Friends.

Consider discussing plans with family and friends.

You may find encouragement in the form of food preparedness or even a shared workout schedule. Maybe a friend would like a walking buddy or your kids would like to kick the soccer ball around at night.

Make Working out a Social Activity.

Instead of meeting a friend for coffee or lunch, plan to play some tennis or go for a walk. You can even join a running group that meets a few nights a week.

Find an Online Fitness Buddy.

Believe it or not, they do exist. Sites like Sparkpeople. com or MyFitnessPal.com offers a Buddy Finder where you can search members that match your specific criteria both locally or across the ocean. Add them as a Friend and you’ve got yourself online support that can help hold you accountable to your workouts.

Use Social Media to Find Cheerleaders.

If you “share” on social media, why not ask for some support from your network of friends and followers..

Explain your plans and create a support system for all those out there changing their lives.

7 Ways Fit People Live Their Lives from www.12minuteathlete.com 1. Don’t consider it a diet.

Changing your eating habits to include fruits, vegetables and healthy fats should become a way of life, not a diet.

2. Find a way to enjoy exercise.

You don’t have to follow the cookie-cutter exercise plan. Find something you like to do and it will become much more enjoyable.

3. Prioritize health and fitness.

Once you prioritize being healthy, it will become habit. Even if it means getting up a bit earlier in the morning, working out on vacation, or fitting in a workout when your life seems busier than you can handle.

4. Don’t expect to eat perfect 100% of the time.

Giving yourself a cheat meal or day every once in awhile ensures you don’t go crazy and binge on all the things you think you’re missing out on.

5. Get a lot of sleep.

One of the best things you can do to stay healthy and fit is get enough sleep. Sleep gives you the energy you need to work out, regulates your metabolism, and repairs muscle.

6. Surround yourself with other fit people.

This doesn’t mean you should end friendships, but you should surround yourself with others that eat healthy and exercise regularly. You may even find your old friends encouraged to be healthy too.

7. Stay active outside of the gym.

There are many ways to stay fit outside of the fitness room walls. Try: • Walking instead of driving • Taking a bike ride, hiking, or playing tennis.

• Taking the stairs.

• Choosing vacations that incorporate activities like hiking, swimming or walking.

• Standing instead of sitting while at work.

Keep a Journal.

Write it down each day. When you are thinking of jumping ship, review your journal to see how far you have come.

It will lead to new energy getting up and going!

So have you found your fit?

City of Westerville Division of Water

Focus on Water

Interestingly, the Westerville Water Treatment Plan pumps more than ONE BILLION gallons a year, with a daily average of nearly 2.9 million gallons. That’s a lot of water, and each Westerville resident is impacted, since we individually use about 84 of those gallons a day.

Last May, each Westerville household received the 2015 annual Water Quality Report. This publication provides a summary of area drinking water; where it comes from, how it is treated, what it contains, and how it compares to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) drinking water quality standards. If you did not have a chance to review that publication, or would like to learn more online, the full report can be found at www.westerville. org/services/water/water-quality-report.

From L to R: Dianne Fosselman, City Council Representative; David Collinsworth, City Manager; John Bokros, Vice Mayor; Craig Treneff, City Council Chair; Time Davey, City Council Representative and Dick Lorenz, Water Utility Manager

The new Westerville Water Treatment Plant opened to the public at its official ribbon cutting and dedication on Thursday, May 26. For more than four years, the Westerville Water Division worked on the planning, design and upgrades to existing facilities that would comply with new federal drinking water regulations and provide customers with the best water possible at a reasonable cost. With the $12 million project operational and compliant with federally mandated regulations, Westerville water rates remain the lowest in Central Ohio.

The primary feature of the upgraded facilities is the addition of granular activated carbon or GAC, which went into effect during the water treatment process last March. This essentially adds a second filtration step in treatment, similar to the charcoal filters used in many home treatment devices. Carbon filtration reduces or removes a range of potential contaminants from the water. Improvements were also made to the treatment chemical delivery, storage and feed systems, along with building facilities to improve reliability, efficiency and safety.

Westerville’s high-quality water system is a great value; water rates are the lowest in Central Ohio, despite the fact that this investment was needed to keep pace with new regulations and the overall protection of our water supply.

TOUR THE WATER PLANT The new Westerville Water Treatment Plant is open to the public for tours when scheduled in advance.

Schools, businesses and families are welcome to walk through the building and see the Westerville water treatment process in action. For more information or to schedule a tour, please call (614) 901-6770.

Adds New Truck to Fleet The Westerville Division of Fire is proud to introduce Engine 112, a 2016 Sutphen Monarch cab with a 750-gallon tank and a powerful pump with Class-A foam (used for fire suppression). Crews began training and operating the new apparatus in late September. The new truck was displayed during the Fire Prevention Week Open House at Station 112 (727 E. Schrock Road).

WESTERVILLE ELECTRIC DIVISION NAMES NEW UTILITY MANAGER Chris Monacelli has been named Westerville Electric Division (WED) Utility Manager after serving as interim manager for more than four months earlier this year.

Moncelli started his career in Westerville in 2008 as accounting supervisor in the Finance office. In 2011, Monacelli moved into a role at WED as finance manager, working directly under Andy Boatright, who managed WED for nearly 20 years before accepting a position with the City of Independence Missouri Power and Light.

“Chris has proven himself to be a valuable asset to the City organization in every capacity in which he has served,” said City Manager David Collinsworth. “His involvement in a variety of enterprise-wide initiatives supplements his work at the departmental level and demonstrates a personal commitment to the overall success of the City. I am confident in Chris’s leadership and management skills and am pleased to be able to promote him into this important role for the Electric Division and City.”

Monacelli will oversee operations for Westerville’s public power utility, serving more than 37,000 residents and 2,100 businesses.

Westerville Resident Snow Removal Tips To make public sidewalks safe for pedestrians, residents and businesses are reminded they are responsible for keeping sidewalks in front of their homes and businesses clear of snow and ice. If snow must be shoveled out to the road, it should be piled to the right-hand side of the driveway (on two-way streets). This allows the plow to reach the snow pile after it passes the drive, pushing less snow back into the driveway.

Ice can be more dangerous and intimidating than snow. Remember: • You are as responsible for clearing ice on your sidewalk as snow.

• The sooner and more completely you shovel, the less likely ice will form.

• Make arrangements for someone to take over while you are on vacation.

Keeping sidewalks free of ice and snow is the neighborly thing to do!

Together, we are all responsible for keeping the City of Westerville safe and comfortable for winter walking.

For your own benefit and to help your neighbors, people pushing strollers or using wheelchairs, and the many people in the City who walk, please do your part.

Want to go the extra mile?

Are there neighbors on your street who are elderly, have a disability or may have a hard time shoveling for any reason? Work with your neighbors to give a hand and ensure your entire block is safe and accessible to all.

WESTERVILLE WANTS YOUR INPUT Tell us what you think about a Bike Share program Bike share systems are growing in popularity across the United States. The concept is simple. Racks of bikes are installed at specific locations around the City for the purpose of a short-term rental. Riders can bike to work, class, dinner or jump on any part of nearly 30 miles of paved multi-use trails. The Westerville Parks & Recreation Department has organized a committee to explore bike sharing, and your input will help the group determine the level of interest. Visit www.surveymonkey.com/r/westervillebikesharing to participate. For more information on bike share programs, visit www.bikeshare.com.

TREES PROVIDE HEALTH BENEFITS FOR RESIDENTS Tree Talk articles are presented by the Westerville Shade Tree Commission.

From a young age we are taught about the role of trees and other plants helping clean the air of excess carbon dioxide and producing oxygen for better air to breathe.

Trees also absorb odors and pollutants, such as gases including nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulfur dioxide and ozone. Particulates in the air are trapped on leaves and bark, filtering them out of what we breathe. In a 2014 Environmental Pollution journal entry titled Tree and Forest Effects on Air Quality and Human Health in the United States, researchers noted trees removed more than 37,000 pounds of pollution lowering acute respiratory symptoms.

Trees also impact our mental health. Studies have shown positive psychological effects by simply being near natural environments. Other research has shown the presence of trees in urban areas has a number of benefits, including creating space for active and passive recreation, lowering blood pressure and increasing immune system health, reducing emotional stress, and lowering aggression and irritability with a positive impact on incidents of violence.

Though winter is upon us and most trees will be bare for the season, Westerville residents can still get out and enjoy the environment. Take a stroll through your neighborhood or visit one of Westerville’s many parks to make your health a priority even in the colder months.

“

I cannot preserve my health and spirits unless I spend four hours a day at least – and it is commonly more than that – sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements.

“

When you take a walk around Westerville, whether it is a park or one of the many neighborhoods, you can’t help but notice the trees. In addition to the beautification of our community, a healthy tree canopy provides a number of benefits, including those that lead to better mental and physical wellbeing.

-HENRY DAVID THOREAU JUNE 1862, THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY

Fun facts about the health benefits of trees: One acre of mature trees can provide enough oxygen for 18 people for one year.

Trees reduce UV-B exposure by about 50 percent by providing shade during outdoor activities.

Computer simulations show trees and forests in the United States remove 17.4 million tonnes of air pollution with human health effects valued at $6.8 billion (Elsevier, Ltd.) A study in Toronto, Canada found that adding 10 trees to a city block made people feel as if they were seven years younger.

Our Year inReview

Looking Ahead This year brought change and excitement to Westerville, as the City saw many projects that have helped reshape the community landscape. We continued our long tradition of planning, with an updated community vision set forward in the “Imagine Westerville” comprehensive plan adopted in July (see www.imaginewesterville.org). The year was punctuated with celebrations and a few challenges, which we overcame with Westerville’s spirit of resilience and love for community.

A CENTURY OF COUNCILMANAGER GOVERNMENT On January 1, 1916, Westerville became the first in the region and the first village in the state to adopt the Council-Manager form of government.

Commonly used today in local governments nationally, this form of government promotes a more business-oriented approach to governance, approach to governance, by the appointment of a trained, professional manager to serve as Chief Executive Officer. Learn more about the reform decided by voters a century ago at www.westerville. org/100.

VOTERS SAY “YES” TO WESTERVILLE FIRE DIVISION On Tuesday, March 15, Westerville residents approved a 2.8 mill property tax issue for the City of Westerville Division of Fire to maintain service levels during a time of change. In addition to the impact of inflation in the operations of the Fire Division, the overall response activity of the Division has grown, in part due to a significant increase in calls for rescue and emergency medical services. Passage ensured the Division can maintain adequate staffing and replace equipment to continue quick response times.

STATE ST OCK

SCHR

RD

S. STATE ST. PHASE TWO NEARS COMPLETION

The project that may have most tested the community’s patience this year will be fully complete in the spring. The S. State St. portion of the work will be substantially complete by Thanksgiving (this year) while work continues on Schrock Rd. Improvements include buried utility lines, new street trees, bike lanes (on Schrock) and upgraded street lights, traffic signals and signs.

ONE HOTEL OPENS; LONG-AWAITED HOTEL CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES Construction is underway on both the Marriott Renaissance on the northwest side of the city and the Aloft hotel at S. State St. and Heatherdown on the south side. The 101-room Aloft, a Starwood Hotel and Resorts brand, is expected to open September 2017. The 224room Marriott Renaissance represents the centerpiece of new development at Westar Place and is expected to open January of 2018.

UPTOWN CONTINUES ITS SURGE WESTERVILLE’S FIRST ROUNDABOUT CONNECTS POLARIS AND COUNTY LINE The Worthington Road connector opened in March, featuring the City’s first roundabout. New business opened on the Polaris end of the road, featuring luxury apartments, specialty grocer Fresh Thyme and new restaurants.

WATER TREATMENT PLANT OPENS The improvements to the Westerville Water Treatment Plant opened to the public at its official ribbon cutting and dedication on Thursday, May 26. The addition of granular activated carbon, a new addition to the Westerville treatment process, began in March. With the $12 million project operational and compliant with federally mandated regulations, Westerville water rates remain the lowest in Central Ohio.

Uptown Westerville has long been the heart of the community; its charm bringing new business and residents and visitors back time and again for shopping, dining and entertainment. Northstar Café is expecting a first-quarter opening while Westerville Parks & Recreation polls residents on the future of Hanby Park (behind the Westerville Public Library).

NEW ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION IS SCHEDULED Work will began this fall Sunbury at County Line to modify the intersection and add lanes for safety and relieve traffic congestion north to Maxtown. A new storm sewer, street lighting, sidewalk and recreational trail to the east are part of the project, which will be complete next year. On Cleveland Ave., additional lanes including a northbound turn lane onto Schrock Rd, begins later this year. Traffic flow and safety improvements are outcomes from this project, expected to be complete late 2018.

Looking ahead, 2017 will bring an end to lengthy projects while others begin. Improvements in Westerville are taking shape, with more development on the horizon.

FITNESS SWIM HAS EXTRA BENEFITS Running or cycling are often the exercises of choice for those on their way to a healthy lifestyle. Some take it a step further and sign up for a 5K, 10K, half or full marathon or bicycle road races. One recent event was Ironman Ohio. The race covered more than 70 miles and included endurance events in cycling, running and swimming.

According to Ironman.com, many triathletes come from a running or cycling background and find the swim to be their weakest link—the discipline that holds them back from achieving their potential. Mike Herron, Westerville Parks & Recreation Fitness Manager, took part in the race for the first time. While Mike could swim recreationally, swimming 1.2 miles was a daunting challenge. Last December he registered for the Adult Fitness Swim class at the Westerville Community Center under the instruction of Jeanne Smith in hopes of overcoming that fear.

“Jeanne was very patient and worked with me to become a better swimmer. I went from a doggy paddle swimmer to a freestyle swimmer in under eight months,” said Herron. “Without the fitness swim class, I would not have been able to complete the Ironman.”

AQUATICS While you may think the fitness swim classes through Westerville Parks & Recreation are just meant to help those continue a healthy active lifestyle, they also are for those learning to swim, recovering from an injury or even practicing for a triathlon. For more information on classes offered this season, see pages 28-30!

GROWING YOUR

MENTAL AGE THROUGH LEARNING

Living a healthy active lifestyle is not just physical, mental health plays a big role as well. An article written

by Huffington Post titled, “10 Ways to Stay Mentally Young,” states that doing predictable things will keep your current brain activity stable, but engaging in new activities will keep the brain young, even as your physical age increases. The first eight activities are directly related to continuous learning: LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE – This is at the top of many lists for activities that give your brain a real workout and force it to create new pathways to learn.

LEARN AN INSTRUMENT – The combination of learning new physical skills on an instrument and learning to make music is great mental exercise.

PLAY NEW AND CHALLENGING GAMES – Your brain loves to play. In fact, play appears to have a stronger role in human development than for any other animal on the planet. Again, it helps fire up those new synapses if the game is new and not too easy.

TAKE CLASSES – Exposing yourself to new ideas, classmates and even classroom settings hits several of the targets that experts associate with cognitive health.

EMBRACE NEW TECHNOLOGY – Staying connected in a digital world may seem like an uphill slog you don’t want to take, but it can have huge brain-health benefits, as you learn new things and connect with new people and ideas.

CONTINUOUS LEARNING Above Photo: Students in the American Heart Association CPR Training class learn how to save a life.

KEEP OPENING NEW DOORWAYS – Your brain is endlessly curious about the unknown and appears to be a sponge for new ideas and experiences. You should be, too.

GET LOST – Go to an unfamiliar area and force yourself to navigate it. Realizing you have the skills to deal with new situations builds confidence and gives your brain a workout.

GET UNCOMFORTABLE – This is another variation of getting lost. If we only engage in comfortable activities we know, part of us stops learning and growing. Accepting the feeling of being a bit uncomfortable – with new surroundings, activities and people – is a good way to help you become more open to new experiences and learning opportunities.

VOLUNTEER – Getting involved in a new endeavor will introduce you to new people and activities.

Broadening your circle of friends and acquaintances is healthy on multiple grounds.

BE PHYSICAL – Assuming your doctor approves, aggressive physical exercise is good for your body and great for cognitive health. Even moderate exercise is helpful.

These activities will not only help you learn something new, but can also boost your confidence and self esteem, and can also be fun.

GETTING HEALTHY

BY BEING CREATIVE The coming of a new year brings thoughts of a healthy lifestyle including increased activity and healthy eating.

But have you ever thought of including creativity into the equation?

The American Institute of Stress (AIS) www.stress.org states that 62% of adults surveyed routinely end the day with neck pain, 44% reported stressed-out eyes, 38% complained of hurting hands and 34% reported difficulty in sleeping, all leading to an unhealthy lifestyle. Keeping physically active and eating healthy will help the physical you, but what can you do to help the mental you?

In an article titled, “How Art Changes Your Brain”, researchers found that taking time to be creative led to increases in psychological resilience, an individual’s ability to adapt to life tasks under highly adverse conditions or stress. Painting, drawing or writing a story, spending time in nature, listening or creating music, and taking photos could all decrease worry and help an individual become more resilient to stress.

Westerville Park & Recreation offers many classes on the following pages for both adults and children that include painting, photography, gardening, crafting, writing, dance and even cooking, helping reduce stress and improve health through the creative process.

STAYING STRONGER

LATER IN LIFE

The importance of functional ability combined with social support in the aging adult has resulted in a surge of older adult fitness classes and programs in community centers, fitness centers and hospitals around the country. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) ranks fitness programs for older adults as number eight out of 10 on its 2016 Top Fitness Trends list. As a result, health and fitness professionals are creating and customizing ageappropriate fitness programs to keep older adults healthy and active.

The Westerville Senior Center offers a multitude of certified, instructor-led group exercise classes that concentrate on all components of health and fitness. Classes are designed for all ability levels and include cardiovascular/muscular endurance and strength/flexibility classes. In addition to health-related benefits including reduced blood pressure, improved blood glucose tolerance and bone density, classes offer skills to make daily living easier and safer. Coordination, agility and reaction time are vastly improved with practice leading to a reduced number of falls and improved ability to function well in specific tasks. This element is extremely important, regardless of age.

62

PRIME TIME These fee-based, group exercise classes include Resistance Bands, Total Body Strengthening, Gentle Flexibility Chair, Balance, Low Impact Aerobics & Strength, Every “Body” Can Do Yoga, Delay The Disease ™ and many others. Valarie Wright, a certified group exercise instructor, works to educate our community members on the benefits of a healthy active lifestyle.

“It’s all about successful aging. Lifting weights and balancing can be a challenge, but the enthusiasm and fun that each of us brings, makes it more than just another exercise class,” said Wright. “What we do is informative and fun – and that is what life’s about: learning and laughing.”

An extended list of classes can be found in the online newsletter at www.westerville.org/ seniorcenter or at the Westerville Senior Center (310 W. Main St.) front desk.

POLICIES & PROCEDURES Fair Share Policy The City of Westerville Parks and Recreation Department is largely financed through City Income Tax dollars. Therefore, to be considered a “Resident” in our registration process, you must live or work full time within the corporate City Limits of Westerville or be a spouse or child of such person.

“Non-resident” applies to all others. Even though you may have a Westerville mailing address or live within the school district, you may not live within the Westerville City Limits.

We ask for your understanding when registering.

Resident/Non-resident Rates To receive discounted resident rates, Westerville residents will be required to present identification such as a valid driver’s license, photo ID card, utility bill or pay with a check with an address printed by the bank. Individuals employed full time in the Westerville City Limits will need to provide proof of employment on company letterhead with the signature of the personnel director or president or a current paycheck with their employer’s name and address along with a valid driver’s license. If a household has been granted residency status due to providing proof of Westerville income tax withholding and it is later revealed that a full refund of these taxes occurred, the City of Westerville reserves the right to collect the difference between the resident fee paid originally for the activity or pass and the appropriate non-resident fee.

A $5.50 resident ID card may be purchased for registration and admission convenience.

Non-resident Fee Policy The non-resident fee is an additional $5 to any program $20 or less and $10 for any program more than $20 and less than $60 and $15 for any program $60 or more. Seasonal and Annual Pass fees, daily admission fees and rental fees are 50 percent higher for non-residents.
