In 2008, the trio traveled to the East Coast to find “C-40,” learning later it was located just above the impact site of American Airlines Flight 11. That flight, a Boeing 767, was the first hijacked terrorist plane that crashed into the tower that day, carrying 76 passengers, 11 crew members and five terrorists.

“I remember it had an eerie feeling to it,” said Cocuzzi. “It was as if we were drawn to that piece over all the other twisted pieces. It had a sense of sadness to it when we first noticed it that tells its own story about the magnitude of what happened.”

9 MAKE IT YOUR BUSINESS: How You Can Help Abuse Survivors

You’re out to dinner with a group of friends and you notice it: a friend you haven’t seen in a while seems...different. It was supposed to be an intimate group night out, but their partner showed up unexpectedly. They take your friend’s phone at the table to read text messages and make cruel comments about your friend to the group. You think something’s off, but you don’t know what to say. So you say nothing and hope for the best.

Abuse takes on many forms. It does not discriminate by age, gender, orientation, religion, economic conditions or race. While there is no one way to define abuse, it is typically marked by an abuser attempting to gain power and control over another using a variety of methods.

The Center for Family Safety and Healing (TCFSH) at Nationwide Children’s Hospital partnered with the City of Westerville to open an area facility in 2019. According to the TCFSH website, residents should be aware of the following warning signs that someone may be suffering abuse:

Add these numbers to your phone: • Physical injuries, such as broken bones, Emergency: Call or text 9-1-1 immediately fingers, wrist, unexplained bruising If it’s not safe to talk or text, offer clues to the • Claims of being “clumsy” or “accident- 9-1-1 communications technicians.

TEXT: 87028 LIVE CHAT: visit www.familysafetyandhealing.org/chat Those who think they are seeing signs of abuse are encouraged to approach survivors privately with empathy and trust. Listen to their story. Understand that leaving an abuser is usually incredibly complicated for the survivor. Offer to provide or contact resources for help (domestic violence hotlines can help assist survivors with a place to stay, legal protection and planning). Remind the survivor that they are loved and that help is available. Remember to always call 9-1-1 in an emergency. Knowing that someone cares and is concerned for their wellbeing could be the first of many important steps for a survivor to find a way out of a dangerous situation.

LEAF COLLECTION SCHEDULED Annual leaf collection with Westerville Public Service (WPS) begins this October with the same zone-based collection periods as in the past.

Residents are reminded to rake all leaves to the tree lawn between the sidewalk and the street, but not rake leaves into the street, while also keeping basketball hoops off the street.

“Keeping leaves out of the street protects the City’s stormwater quality,” said Kevin Weaver, WPS Director. “This will help maintain on-street parking and keep neighbors and City workers safe.”

Weaver also stated that keeping basketball hoops off the street will allow workers to complete the project more frequently.

Leaf collection schedules are mailed to residents in late September. For more details and instructions, visit www.westerville.org/leafcollection, and to keep track of leaf collection progress, visit the Westerville Road Warrior map at www.westerville.org/roadwarriors.

COMPOSTING EXPANDED A fourth composting location as been added to the three food/waste drop off locations already in place. More than 100,000 pounds of food/ waste has been diverted from the landfill to date.

The additional bins are located at Huber Village Park (362 Huber Village Blvd.) near the Pointview water tower. The three locations already in place include 310 W. Main St., 469 Westdale Ave. and 370 Park Meadow Rd.

HYDRANT FLUSHING COMPLETED Hydrants are flushed yearly to help clear the water lines of particulates that may build up over time. During the process, crews check the hydrants and valves for any operational issues which need to be addressed in order to keep the hydrants in good working order for fighting fires.

Please contact the Westerville Department of Public Service at (614) 901- 6740 with any questions, concerns or help with any of these services. The Department is open from 7 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

• Never place yard waste, including leaves, or litter in the road or in storm drains. • Properly dispose of chemicals and hazardous waste (Fall Household Hazardous Waste Collection is Sept. 11. See page 23 for details!) • Pick up trash and debris around your yard and neighborhood. • Ensure pet waste is disposed of properly.

“I want to do a shoutout to Westerville, Ohio — a population of 40,000 — and how they have a job description up for their DEI director,” she said. “For folks who are unfamiliar with this and how it differs from internal HR work, diversity, equity and inclusion for Westerville, Ohio, looks like a way to promote an environment of gender, generational, racial, religious and ethnic diversity to position them as a leading community of inclusion in central Ohio.” 16 WESTERVILLE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT • (614) 901-6500 • www.westerville.org Community Phones Down, parks & recreation Contacts Heads Up: All numbers are (614) area code unless otherwise noted.
