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.
A snapshot of the video process while Sergeant Stephens works
with kids on how to be safe while riding their bikes.

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.

& 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 [email protected] 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.

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
[email protected].

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.

Renaissance hotel, visit www.business.westerville.org.

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.
(National Weather Service)

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.

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.”

camera phone to be instantly connected to

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,

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

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

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.

through interactive lessons and running games over a 10week period ending with a 5k running celebration.

positive or negative. Children can have a powerful impact
in small ways from simply saying thank you to the lunch
lady who hands them a tray to abstaining from gossip
when it is around them.”
Many of the activities will focus on teaching the girls
how to positively approach situations in their daily lives.
Franklin County Girls on the Run Council Director, Jessica
Sparks said one of the exercises they do early on is a
visualization activity where the girls sit with their eyes
closed and picture how negative talk affects them and
then how positive words influence them.
The running portion of the meetings gives the girls another
healthy outlet to work through life’s challenges but running
experience is not required.
Westerville Parks and Recreation is offering Girls on the

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.
