7 MLK DAY LIKE NONE BEFORE IT What do we do when we don’t agree?

Vaughn Bell has lived in the Westerville area for more than 40 years, nearly all of that time contributing to the community as a representative of the faith community, and in service through Leadership Westerville and the Westerville Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK) Breakfast Celebration. Since 2008, he has led the volunteer and programming effort for the Breakfast, an event that honors the ideas of MLK and speaks directly to their implementation in the Westerville community.

Now serving on the Westerville City Schools Board of Education, Bell says he felt compelled to continue his service to students, parents, district staff and the community. “Education is the great equalizer,” he says. “...it is the key that unlocks the door to future possibilities, and once obtained, it can never be taken away.” In these roles, and with a long and committed record of service in the community, Bell was asked to share his perspective on how Westerville navigates cultural and social issues on which disagreement may exist. The question is: What do we do when we don’t agree?

The social justice movement in 2020 has been divisive The recently departed John Lewis is often credited with in our nation. It has exposed pockets of systemic racism using the term “The Beloved Community.” What does it that still exist today.

Even a small amount of CO exposure over a long period of time can be deadly. Be sure that all fuel-burning equipment is vented outside the home. Always follow manufacturers operating recommendations and be sure to install CO alarms.

“LIVE BURN” TRAINING EXERCISE

The Westerville Division of Fire (WFD) participated in a live burning training exercise at a vacant home on East College Avenue in November. Training fire experiences like these provide WFD crews the opportunity to practice new tactics and techniques in realistic situations. Firefighters are deployed in all personal protective equipment (PPE) and enter rooms that are filled with pallets and straw to simulate a room filled with furniture. They then focus on techniques to quickly knock down and extinguish the flames.

FTTH is just the ground level of an overall strategy to use Jackson says it’s not about competition; the interests and public infrastructure— fiber— to deliver services directly to incentives of incumbent operators are different than the residents in their homes. interests of communities.

14 WESTERVILLE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT • (614) 901-6500 • www.westerville.org SNOW PROBLEM: WESTERVILLE ROAD WARRIORS READY FOR WINTER

When snow falls on the City’s 130-plus miles of streets, the men and women of the Westerville Service Department’s Road Warriors kick into high gear.

“We have a multi-level plan of attack when it comes to keeping roadways clear and safe for first responders and motorists. Currently, there are actions that involve six-10 truck plans, plus a four-truck tandem plan,” said Kevin Weaver, Westerville Public Service Director.

Weaver says residents can help ensure successful snow removal services by keeping vehicles off streets to give trucks extra room to maneuver.

When shoveling, the City asks residents to place snow on the left side of the driveway (facing the residence) to minimize the amount of snow plowed back into the drive apron. Don’t forget, people count on passable sidewalks in neighborhoods. It is important to clear the sidewalks that are your responsibility, and it is also the law per Westerville Codified Ordinance 529.05.

HOLIDAY LIGHT RECYCLING CONTINUES THROUGH END OF JANUARY

The Westerville Electric Division (WED) accepts strands of holiday lights to recycle in exchange for an LED light bulb. The program, now in its fourth year, ends at the end of January.

The recycling initiative was designed to help residents remove outdated, non- working or inefficient strands of holiday lights, redirecting them from the landfill to a recycling center. At no cost to residents or the City, a scrap metals-and-materials vendor picks up the material from this centralized site. Light bulbs and batteries are also accepted year-round.

Rumpke, the City’s trash and recycling contractor, asks customers to refrain from tossing holiday lights in recycling bins as they can become entangled in equipment.

Participants must bring their lights to WED, 139 E. Broadway Ave., Monday-Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. to receive new LED bulbs. Those not interested in an exchange can drop off strands in the marked bins in front of the facility anytime.

For more information on this program, visit www.westerville.org/lightrecycling, call WED at (614) 901-6700 or email [email protected].

15 WPD DOES WHISKERS, NAIL DESIGNS ‘FOR GOOD’

The typically well-groomed men and women of the Westerville Division of Police (WPD) will be sporting facial hair or creative nails over the winter - all for charity. Participating officers may pay into a program to wear their winter beards or decorative nail polish, all to support local charitable and nonprofit missions. WPD supports Westerville Caring and Sharing from November to December with this initiative, followed by the Westerville Area Resource Ministry (WARM) from January to February. The program ends each year in March.

Officers may grow facial hair or participate with creative and/or decorative nail designs/polish for a $100 donation for each respective campaign. WPD Chief Charles Chandler relaxed the department’s policy mandating that all officers be clean-shaven with neat, trimmed nails to accommodate those participating. During these months, officers’ facial hair must still be neatly groomed. The policy for fingernail length is unchanged; however, creative and decorative designs are encouraged outside of the usual clear and conservative language regarding nail polish.

“This is another way for us to give back to the community we serve, and this time we’re doing it directly from our pockets,” said Chief Chandler. “I think the community does know about our officers’ generosity. There are more occasions than I can count of an officer taking on a personal expense to help someone. This is a simple way for us to carry on that tradition of kindness and compassion at a time when we all really need the lift.”

Chandler also says the department has a lot of fun with the program, including a fair amount of friendly ribbing for full vs. sparse facial hair as well as those who have turned a bit gray.

YES, WeCAN City Program Provides Relief For Small Businesses

The City’s expanded Westerville COVID Assistance Now (WeCAN) program helped provide approximately $600,000 to local businesses and organizations in 2020. The program was offered in two installments, the first providing nearly $250,000 to 103 local businesses to help cover the costs of reopening during the pandemic. The second, offered in the fall, focused on helping businesses remain open and also extended help to non-profit organizations. Assistance came by way of a 50% matching grant to qualified applicants. “Westerville City Council and staff acted quickly when the pandemic first struck to pull funding from existing economic development programs to create the WeCAN program,” said Jason Bechtold, Westerville’s Economic Development Director. “We were pleased to tap into funding from the federal CARES Act to expand the program and help even more organizations.” WeCAN was managed by the City in partnership with the Westerville Industry and Commerce Corporation (WICC). The program is designed to assist small businesses (fewer than 40 full-time employees) by providing recovery assistance to meet the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Originally offering a 50% matching grant of up to $2,500, the program now offers applicants up to $3,500. Those originally awarded may apply to cover the difference.

Westerville residents are invited to take a virtual look “behind-the-scenes” at City services and programs through the Westerville Transparency Hub, a web-based portal that explores public data and purchasing records at transparency. westerville.org.

“Westerville prides itself on being responsive and transparent with residents; it’s core to our customer service standard,” said Todd Jackson, Chief Information Officer for the City. “We aim to deliver data to the hub as soon as we can, depending on the availability and complexity of the information.”

Data also includes, but is not limited to, year-to-date public safety, financial data and development statistics.

“The Transparency Hub succeeds in presenting a lot of information in a visually pleasing and, hopefully, easy to understand format with colorful graphs and other visualization methods,” said Jackson.

Data tells an important part of the story of how the City succeeds in delivering services to residents and visitors. Jackson, who oversees all Information Services for the City, hopes the Hub inspires continued dialogue between residents and the City.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine spoke to residents in November with news of potentially a viable vaccine option expected to be ready as early as December. With this ray of hope, Dr. Stone says it is still important for residents to continue following spread prevention protocols.

“Masks, masks, masks,” said Dr. Stone. “We know they work very effectively especially when worn by everyone. It is estimated we could save 100,000 lives in the country if at least 80% of us wore them. Also, practice social distancing and avoid crowds. Frequent hand washing and use of hand sanitizer is also important.”

With just under a year of COVID-19 exposure in the state, it’s evident that haphazard measures simply won’t help stop the spread. Residents must work together and stay vigilant to help contain the pandemic.

The similarities in symptoms point to the need to err on the side of caution. If you feel as though you are experiencing symptoms of illness, please contact your physician and seek testing. Continue following best practices set forth by public health experts.
