“I had two different injuries that needed two surgeries (at OhioHealth Westerville Medical Campus). I see teamwork there like I see on my basketball team. All the doctors and staff communicate with the athletic trainers at my school and know what’s going on. Then they communicate it back to me. It’s like they really care.” — Devin Jackson, Junior at Westerville North High School

City Budget At-A-GlanceMaximizing the value of financial resources

to meet community needsIn order to excel as a full-service

community, strong fiscal management is required to ensure that financial obliga-tions are met, all while anticipating future demands that may have an impact on City programs and services.

Tax dollars collected by the City are translated into services that provide citizens with the exceptional quality of life that makes Westerville a nationally renowned destination in which to live and do business.

To measure and monitor its financial resources, the City utilizes fund account-ing to track revenues and expenditures as they relate to the delivery of programs and services. Although there are several types of funds that differ in terms of pur-pose, size and revenue sources, all funds operate as an extension of the checkbook concept used at home: The balance of a fund is determined by adding revenues and subtracting expenditures from the existing balance.

Westerville City Council controls ex-penditures through the appropriation pro-cess. Only the appropriated amount can be spent, regardless of the balance in a fund. In certain instances, transfers or advances may be made between some funds, but this requires approval from City Council.

The City’s General Fund is used to ac-count for all financial resources except those legally required to be accounted for in a different fund. Dollars make their way into the General Fund from a variety of sources, but the municipal income tax comprises the majority of these resources. In 2014, three out of every four dollars received in the General Fund will be gener-ated by the income tax.

Funds other than the General Fund may be used to represent a department’s financial activity depending on the nature of the transactions involved. For example,

the Parks & Recreation Department derives its financial resources from 0.25 percent of the City’s 2 percent income tax, as well as program fees, private contributions, grants, debt issuances for capital projects and General Fund transfers. As a result, a Special Revenue Fund is used to account for the department’s expenses, given that the revenues collected are designated for a specific purpose.

In addition to the municipal income tax, property taxes are another significant revenue source for the City. These tax dol-lars are collected by Franklin and Delaware counties and based on the estimated value of an individual’s property. Property tax dollars are then distributed by the counties to schools, mu-nicipalities, libraries and other qualifying entities.

In 2013, the City of Westerville received $13.6 million in property tax disbursements from Franklin and Delaware counties. The majority of property tax dollars were appropriated to the Fire Division and Gen-era Fund, in addition to economic development initiatives and resolv-ing outstanding financial obligations (see chart on next page).

Each year, the City prepares a balanced five-year plan – a budget for the upcoming year and budget projections for the following four years. A long-term approach to budgeting seeks to antici-pate changes in funding

and financial forecasts and plan for upcom-ing challenges, effectively minimizing the impact of the unexpected.

“We take a thoughtful, strategic approach to fiscal stewardship,” said Westerville City Manager David Collinsworth. “By embrac-ing a long-term, big-picture perspective, we craft and sustain a local financial condition marked by strength and resilience, even during periods like the recent global reces-sion. This fiscal strength enables Westerville to continue our proud tradition of financial stewardship which allows us to stand apart from the rest of the pack.”

The Westerville community – including the City, schools, citizens, businesses and service clubs – will host its fifth annual Jukebox Revue concert to benefit Honor Flight Columbus on Sunday, Feb. 9 at 3 p.m. at Westerville North High School.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the 2014 community-sponsored Honor Flight, a program honoring World War II and Korean War veterans with a guided tour of their national monuments in Washington, D.C.

The show is produced each year in the tradition of television’s early variety shows, featuring musicians, bands, danc-ers, singers and other entertainers. Ten-year-old Granville piano prodigy Gavin George will make his fourth appearance as a featured performer. Westerville’s own NBC4 news anchor Cabot Rea will host and also perform.

Tickets for the event are available at Westerville City Hall (second floor) or at the door on the day of the show for $10. Korean War and World War II veterans are admitted free of charge. For more informa-

tion, visit us on Facebook at www.face-book.com/westervilleforhonorflight.

The 2014 flight will be the sixth the community of Westerville has sponsored, with the flights since 2009 sending hundreds of local and regional war veterans to the nation’s capital for their day of honor.

About Honor Flight ColumbusHonor Flight Columbus honors and

celebrates veterans by flying them to Washington, D.C. to visit memorials dedicated to their important service.

Jukebox Revue Kicks Off 2014 Community-Sponsored Honor Flight

The City’s commitment to financial dis-cipline has certainly paid off. In 2013, the City earned Aaa ratings from Moody’s Inves-tor Services, Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Fitch Rating Services – the highest achiev-able bond rating from all three major credit rating agencies. This stamp of confidence allows the City to fund important capital improvement projects through debt issues at minimal interest rates, thereby saving taxpayer dollars.

Diligent financial recordkeeping and strict attention to detail are also notable hallmarks of the City’s accounting phi-losophy. The City is also a recipient of the Auditor of State Award with Dis-tinction, a distinction that fewer than 5 percent of entities in the state of Ohio receive. The City has also received the

Certificate of Achievement for Excel-lence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Associa-tion for 30 consecutive years.

“Not only are we consistently recognized for our commitment to fiscal discipline, but we are also praised for our meticulous recordkeeping and reporting efforts, ensur-ing accountability and transparency in all City transactions as well as clean audits,” said Westerville Finance Director Lee Ann Shortland. “We are proud to have earned the reputation as a trusted financial stew-ard and fully intend to carry forward that legacy in future years.”

The 2014-2018 financial plan is cur-rently available on the City website. To view this and other financial reports, please visit www.westerville.org/finance.

Emergency Notification Portal

Now OpenWesterville residents may now register

their contact information and prefer-ences via a new website portal launched this week by the Westerville Emergency Communications Division. Commonly known as the “reverse 9-1-1” system, this site is the first opportunity residents have had to self-select and update their contact information.

Residents who visit www.westerville. onthealert.com or the City website – www.westerville.org – can securely register their mobile phone numbers, activate text messaging capabilities and assign their home addresses for local/neighborhood to receive emergency alert notifications.

Alerts from this system are based on true emergencies, such as disaster noti-fication, public safety information and alerts pertaining to missing children, haz-ardous spills and major power outages. Content is provided by voice message or text, depending on the preferences selected during registration. Subscribers’ information will not be utilized or ac-cessed for any other purpose.

“This site expands our capabilities when it comes to communicating with residents during an emergency,” said Holly Wayt, Westerville Communications Manager. “This makes our process of reaching people in an emergency situation not only more reliable and user-friendly, but also more targeted in terms of how to get information out quickly.”

People who work in Westerville but do not live in the city or parents who have children in the Westerville City School District may also use the system. “It makes sense for someone who spends a signifi-cant portion of their day in Westerville to be in the system so that they too can get alerts if there’s an emergency,” said Wayt.

To sign up or get more information, please visit www.westerville.org.

The City of Westerville is now seeking nominations for the Property Improve-ment Program, a friendly, semiannual awards program for Westerville residents and businesses to recognize significant improvements made to residential homes between November 2013 and May 2014.

Two homes and one church were rec-ognized this past November as part of the Fall Property Improvement Program. Awards will be presented to residential properties based on improvement efforts in these categories:

Landscaping • Plantmaterials in landscape enhance

the total overview of the property.

• Landscapecolorsattractviewersfromthe street or sidewalk and harmonize the surrounding landscape (e.g., trees, shrubs and structures).

• Layoutandproportionsofplantingsandstructures is uniform.

Building Design• Thegeneralstyleoftheoriginalstruc-

• Awnings, painting, paint removal orwindow replacement constitute im-provements.

• Additionstotheexistingstructureen-hance its visual appeal.

All nominees must own or lease prop-erty in the corporate limits of the City of Westerville, and all improvements must have been implemented no earlier than Nov. 1, 2013. Program materials are online at www.westerville.org/PIP. All nomina-tions must be received by the City no later than 5 p.m. Friday, May 30.

A company’s recent relocation to Blendon Township is the latest example of the value of the voter-approved joint economic devel-opment zone between Blendon Township and the City of Westerville.

In November 2012, Blendon Township residents voted to establish the Blendon-Westerville Joint Economic Development Zone (JEDZ), the latest in a long series of collaborative initiatives between the City of Westerville and neighboring Blendon Township. As part of the agreement, the City of Westerville 2 percent income tax is applied to commercial and industrial entities located in the JEDZ. Income tax revenue is dedicated to capital improve-ments within the zone, and the remaining dollars are shared by Blendon Township and the City of Westerville, which pro-vides economic development services to the Township.

The company, Teleperformance, is a leader in outsourced multichannel customer experience management. After outgrowing and relocating from a smaller facility in Columbus, the company dedi-cated its new Blendon Township contact center last October. The relocation of operations to Blendon Township will retain 200 jobs in the region, and the

company plans to create an additional 240 jobs by 2018.

“Working with Westerville and its eco-nomic development division helped to connect the dots and bring key players to the table to discuss what Teleperformance needed and what we could provide,” said Blendon Township Administrator Bryan Rhoads. “By pooling our resources, we were well positioned to approach Teleperfor-mance and assist it in its efforts to relocate to a space that better suited its needs.”

Westerville and Blendon also collabo-rated with representatives from Franklin County, which facilitated the zoning process required to expand the parking lot adjacent to the new facility. The expanded parking lot feature was instrumental in attracting Teleperformance to the Township, as it is necessary to accommodate the expected 240 additional jobs that will be created over the next five years.

“The state has urged local communities to develop innovative strategies to combine

services to support local priorities and initiatives,” said Westerville Economic De-velopment Administrator Jason Bechtold. “The Westerville-Blendon JEDZ is a prime example of how local communities can work together to proactively support de-velopment to the benefit of our residents and the region.”

“We are all very excited about the new Teleperformance office in Blendon Township. The opportunity to move to a great facility in a wonderful community with such a strong workforce was one we simply could not pass up,” said Miranda Collard, Teleperformance president of U.S. operational delivery.

Joint Economic Development Agreement Attracts New Jobs

Blendon Township and the City of Westerville hosted a ribbon-cutting for the new Teleperformance facility on Executive Parkway in Blendon Township on Oct . 30 .

The Impactof Mentorship

Staff Profile

Clerk of CouncilMary Johnston

When Mary Johnston is advertising vacancies on City of Westerville Boards & Commissions, encouraging residents to serve their community, she knows the impact both community service and men-toring can have on someone’s life. Her own nearly 30-year career as a municipal clerk was inspired by the guidance and interest a mentor provided that influenced her life and career. Now she works to instill that same philosophy in her activities as Westerville City Council’s Clerk.

How did you get involved in a career in the municipal clerk profession?

This was something I actually stumbled into, back in 1983. Right after high school, I had gone to work for a company that manufactured household goods and farm supplies near my hometown in Freeport, Ill. When I applied for an open position for deputy clerk at Freeport City Hall, I still didn’t have a specific career path in mind. But I got the job and the city clerk took me under her wing, showed me the clerk’s profession and taught me every-thing about government. In that role, I was preparing minutes, attending council meetings and working on payroll and ac-counts receivable and payable. I was also working on public records and learning about the open records system. When the clerk decided to retire in 1992, she said I was ready and needed to run for the posi-tion. In Freeport, the city clerk is elected, so I ran my first campaign and went door to door. I kept one yard sign as a memento

of everything I learned from that process that still today is in my garage. Had it not been for the clerk’s mentoring, I wouldn’t have the career I have today.

How did you come to work and live in Westerville?

My husband, Mark, was transferred to North Carolina for work. About a year and a half into the position, the plant closed and moved operations. At that time, I was working for the federal government in the U.S. Courts Western District in Asheville. I saw the position in Westerville online and applied. It was January 2003 when we moved here with our daughters.

What are some of the activities required in your role as Clerk of Council?

I’m here to serve Council and make sure Council and staff have the materials they need to conduct the business of the City. My primary duties include prepar-ing meeting agendas and compiling and producing Council packets. I also attend the meetings and act as the point person for the public so that they can obtain information related to local legislation. Clerks try to be among the go-to people in the City, so they are helpful and open with information.

What continuing education is required as part of your job?

There are educational requirements and an ongoing certification schedule for these positions. The International

Institute of Municipal Clerks is our cer-tification body. Clerks can also accumu-late the hours and continuing education credits to earn the Master of Municipal Clerk designation, which I hold. We also have a peer network to share information and stay up to date with best practices and training.

In what ways do you interact with the community?

Residents, community leaders and busi-ness leaders will contact me if they have a question or need additional information about an ordinance or a legislative item. Sometimes they simply need to make contact with a Council member. I’ve also participated in several community organi-zations and committees, including Leader-ship Westerville and the Westerville Honor Flight committee.

Tell us about your work with Honor Flight.

I knew I wanted to be involved with Honor Flight because both my father and father-in-law served in World War II, but neither had the opportunity to partici-pate and both have since passed away. Honor Flight takes WWII and Korean War veterans to Washington, D.C. for a day of honor and tour of the national monuments. I felt I could honor my fam-ily members’ service by helping provide that opportunity for other veterans. When the local committee was organized to sponsor a Westerville community flight in 2009, I volunteered to serve as the treasurer for a series of fundraisers, including the annual pancake breakfast in June, Porkapalooza in August and the Jukebox Revue concert in February. We’ll work on all these events again this year and send our sixth Westerville-sponsored flight in September.

How would you encourage a member of the community to get involved in order to have his or her best experience in Westerville?

There are volunteer opportunities on City of Westerville Boards and Commis-sions, with Council appointing residents each December to fill those roles. We always start the process in August, advertis-ing which vacancies will be available. This is an important service; they take care of a lot of important work for the City and the operations of the community.

Westerville Receives Second Healthy Ohio Platinum Award

You’re considered the City’s public records officer. What does that mean?

I am the keeper of Westerville public records, which are maintained safely for historical value and accessibility to the public during regular business hours. Any member of the community can come in and inspect or request a copy of public records. In this role, I’m required to take public records training every two years on Council’s behalf.

In accordance with the Westerville City Charter, Westerville City Council held an organizational meeting on Sunday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. At that time, Council elected officers to serve two-year terms as Council Chair, Council Vice Chair, Mayor and Vice Mayor. Selected for those positions were:

Craig Treneff, ChairLarry Jenkins, Vice ChairDiane Fosselman, MayorJenifer French, Vice MayorCouncil also made several appointments

to City of Westerville Boards and Commis-sions. For more information, or to contact a member of Westerville City Council, please visit www.westerville.org/council.

The “fierce urgency of now” is the theme of the ninth annual Westerville Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast celebration on Mon-day, Jan. 20 at 8 a.m. The event is a celebration of Dr. King’s life, work and ideals, and serves as an opportunity for the community to consider the dream for equality and an end to discrimination.

The morning celebration includes entertainment, guest speakers and recognition for student and community leaders. The annual Alston Award – named in honor of Miriam Alston and the group of slaves she freed, who traveled to the Westerville area in 1859 – will be awarded to a member of the community who best demonstrates the characteristics of Dr. King: tolerance, respect, kindness, bravery and determination. Two Westerville City Schools students will be named Fouse Award recipients, in honor of William H. Fouse, the first black graduate of Westerville City Schools and Otterbein College (now University).

Bishop Timothy Clarke of the First Church of God in Co-lumbus will serve as the keynote speaker, helping define “the

fierce urgency of now” – Dr. King’s prophetic words to encour-age an urgent sense of community unity and healing in times of change and conflict.

In its annual tradition of continuing the celebration throughout the day, Otterbein University, in conjunction with Westerville Parks & Recreation, will host service proj-ects through its “Day-On” community service program at the Westerville Community Center. The public is invited to participate.

Registration prices for the breakfast are $25 per adult and $15 per student. Businesses may sponsor a table for $300, which includes 10 breakfast registrations and the recognition as a table sponsor in the event program.

The event will be held at the Villa Milano Banquet and Con-ference Center, 1630 Schrock Rd. Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. and the program will begin promptly at 8 a.m. For more information, please visit www.leadershipwesterville.org.

The City of Westerville is one of only two cities in the state of Ohio to receive the platinum Healthy Ohio-Healthy Com-munity designation for 2013.

The platinum-level award, which Westerville also received in 2012, is the highest designation offered by the Ohio Department of Health in recognition of outstanding community work leading im-portant health-related policies that provide a healthy community environment.

The Westerville Parks & Recreation Department accepted the award, hav-ing received the gold award eight times previously. The recognition places Westerville among 21 cities, townships and villages honored for their role in promoting health and wellness for residents. In addition to recognizing programs and activities that improve the overall quality of life in the commu-nity, the award focuses on programs in nutrition, physical activity and tobacco cessation efforts, as well as efforts to encourage worksite wellness.

Several Parks & Recreation programs received special mention, including the weekly “Healthy Lifestyle is a Walk in the Park,” Westerville’s bronze Bicycle Friendly Community designation, and the “Live W.E.L.L.” program, which pro-motes a multi-disciplinary approach to engage the community in healthy, active lifestyle behaviors.

“This is another great source of pride in being our residents’ national gold-medal winning department,” said Randy Auler, Director of Parks & Recreation. “Westerville’s excellence in health, fitness and wellness programming is trusted on a day-to-day basis by our residents and PASSport users, and this award honors that tradition.”

The department received the award in October at the Ohio Society for Public Health Education’s Health Educators In-stitute annual meeting. It was presented to Westerville City Council in November.

Cold Hard FactsCryogenic technology company is a Westerville mainstay

For more than three decades, an in-ternational designer and manufacturer of advanced magnetic and cryogenic mea-surement technology has called Wester-ville home.

Lake Shore Cryotronics was founded in 1967 and has been in Westerville since the late 1970s. It has been in its current, 55,000-square-foot building at 575 Mc-Corkle Blvd. since 1997.

The company develops cryo-genic temperature sensors and instrumentation and sensors for magnetic measurements.

“We measure temperature very close down to absolute zero on the Kel-vin scale,” says company chairman John Swartz. “We also measure magnetic fields and make a series of Gauss meters that do that.”

Swartz – who co-founded Lake Shore with his brother, David – has been a Westerville area resident since before Lake Shore even existed, when he was working as an engineering professor at The Ohio State University.

After he moved into the city, he jumped at the opportunity when the space that was once a Kroger store at 64 E. Walnut

St. came available. Lake Shore expanded the building to its current structure before strik-ing a deal with the city that moved the com-pany to its modern-day location and put the Walnut Street building in the city’s hands.

Today, the company employs about 140 and does business all over the world, with more than 60 percent of its products sold to loca-

tions outside the U.S.Westerville has been a good community

for Lake Shore, Swartz says. The company has a lot of electrical engineering needs, and having OSU nearby is a huge help on that front.

“We’ve got people working here from all over the world at this point,” he says.

Though Swartz stepped down as presi-dent and CEO in 2003, Lake Shore is still a family company. He was succeeded by his son, Michael, as president and CEO; his daughter Karen Lint is the company’s chief operating officer; and his daughter Susan Ruhl works in the information technology department.

Among the company’s community-minded endeavors are an annual food drive for the Westerville Area Resource Ministry and a Student Day that introduces advanced science students from local high schools to Lake Shore’s facility, products and technology.

For Better or Nurse

When someone is stressed out from caring for others, it can have a negative effect on his or her

own health, ultimately affecting the care the person can give.

Otterbein University professor Kay Ball has seen it many times in her decades-long career as a nurse. That’s why she’s made it a priority to educate her fellow nurses on the importance of their own wellness – and to ensure their working conditions are optimal for good health.

“One of the things that I try to instill in my students is healthy lifestyles,” Ball says. “You’ve got to take care of yourself to take care of your patients.”

An Otterbein alumna, Ball returned to the university in 2010 to teach after earning her doc-torate. Among the subjects she teaches are perioperative (surgical) nursing, gerontol-ogy, evidence-based research, infomatics and leadership.

She teaches all her stu-dents the importance of keeping the mind, body and soul healthy, as well as main-taining good financial health and contributing to a healthy society. She often asks if her students would recommend their own lifestyles to patients to put things in perspective.

“Many times, nurses who are caregivers give the care out, but don’t take care of themselves in the meantime,” says Ball. “You can see that with overweight nurses. They’re

Otterbein professor is a major proponent of nurses’ health and well-being

unbelievable nurses, but they’re stressed … (and) they don’t take time for exercise. Maybe they’ll just grab McDonald’s on the

way to work instead of having a bowl of oatmeal at home.”

Pointing out to nurses and nursing students the impor-tance of healthy lifestyles also helps them understand the importance of prevention as a tool for good health, Ball says. Emphasizing prevention is a big part of modern efforts to reform health care, and if nurses go out into the world aware of it, they can contribute to the cause.

“A lot of our money in health care is spent on chronic conditions, and we can solve a lot of the problems … by teaching people to buy into healthy lifestyles,” says Ball.

Though she only recently became a pro-fessor, Ball has been teaching for many years and has also written several books.

One of her current interests is the haz-ards of surgical smoke, which is produced when surgical nurses cut and coagulate tissue. The World Health Organization has determined that contaminated air is carcinogenic, making it a workplace safety issue, Ball says.

“My research showed that surgical nurses have twice the incidence of general respi-ratory problems compared to the general population,” she says.

The technology to prevent the risks – surgical smoke evacuators – exists, but hospitals need to commit to installing them in surgery rooms, Ball says.

Surgical lasers comprise another key topic for Ball. She has lectured all over the world on lasers and has also written three books on them, having developed an interest in them when she was working at Doctors Hospital.

“We had the first outpatient laser center in world (at Doctors),” Ball says.

Kay Ball

Ball, center, and four of her perioperative nursing students in the lab


For Better or NurseWhen the hospital started using the

technology, there was no instructional book on it available to nurses, so Ball wrote one.

Beyond those issues, Ball always has her ear to the ground for new areas of interest. As chairwoman of the Mid-Ohio District Nurses Association and a policy counsel for the Ohio Nurses Association, she contributes to the endorsement of political candidates and testifies at the Ohio House of Representatives regarding health care legislation.

Among the topics she has taken an inter-est in lately are staffing requirements and rules as to who can administer medications to students during school hours.

One of Ball’s biggest projects came in 1994 when she worked at the White House as a contributor to Hillary Clinton’s health care reform efforts. She was there to repre-sent nurses and specialty practices in the discussions in her capacity as part of the Nursing Organization Liaison Forum, itself part of the American Nurses Association.

She has also helped arrange a partner-ship between Otterbein and OhioHealth to provide nursing students clinical experience in the operating room.

Ball’s decision to go into nursing was spurred simply by her liking for the caring attitudes of the nurses she had encountered. She started on her career path in the early 1970s and, thanks to the professional fulfill-ment offered by the work, her interest has not wavered since.

She earned her bachelor’s degree in nursing from Otterbein in 1983. She also holds an associate’s degree from Columbus State Community College (1974), a master’s degree from Central Michigan University (1987) and a Ph.D. from Virginia Com-monwealth University (2009).

Ball, a native of Worthington, has two grown sons: a Battelle researcher living in Westerville and a restaurant owner living in Marion. She and her husband, Dan Flynn, live in Lewis Center. The couple have three grandchildren.


“At her previous school, our daughter moved quickly beyond her classmates but was told to wait for her peers to catch up. Now she is able to move ahead at her own pace. At Village Academy, the sky’s the limit.”

For someone battling depression and anxiety, and for whom even leaving the house may be difficult, going to

the gym may seem downright impossible. There is a relationship between mental

and physical health. While the idea of working out may not feel feasible, it could be just what a person needs to do to break away from a debilitating disorder, says Mike Unger, medical director at Wester-ville’s community mental health agency, Concord Counseling Services.

“It is very difficult to achieve good men-tal health if you neglect physical and vice versa,” Unger says. “It’s a sort of paradox; if you were forced to go work out, you may feel better and have more energy, but it’s really hard to do.”

Concord, a nonprofit mental health center, was founded in 1972. Its mission is to provide programs and services that heal people in mind and spirit.

The agency offers individual and group therapy for children, teens, adults and se-niors in need of behavioral health services.

The City of Westerville, Westerville City Schools, the Ohio Department of Drug and Alcohol Services and more use Concord

services. For example, the agency provided grief counseling in the school district fol-lowing the November suicide of a high school student.

Concord also offers assistance for people under more severe circumstances, includ-ing group therapy for substance abuse and psychiatric services for those battling hallucinations, homicidal and/or chronic suicidal thoughts, and mood swings.

Patients with clinical depression experi-ence decreased energy levels, reduced con-centration, poor motivation and declining ambition, Unger says.

“In general, people with clinical depression are at higher risk of de-veloping chronic medical problems,” he says. “Other issues include heart disease and diabetes. They will also be less likely to be proactive following up with medical care.”

A person struggling with depression should consult a medical professional and avoid self-medicating at all costs, he says.

“Some people use caffeine to motivate themselves to get up in the morning and then they use alcohol to calm down at night,” he says. “This only makes the situa-

tion worse. If you’re going to take anything, take a multi-vitamin.”

Early symptoms of de-pression and anxiety disor-ders include poor sleeping patterns, physiological changes, difficulty concen-trating and fatigue.

“One of the first steps is to simply Google the signs and symptoms,” Unger says. “Learn about these conditions and get into see a doctor. The problem could be medical in origin and not a mental issue. For example, hyperthyroidism is a condition that looks

like depression, but when you fix it, the depression symptoms are gone.”

Physical preventative measures can be used to decrease the risk of depression.

“Try to develop a good sleep-wake cycle, eat fresh foods and drink juice, not soda,” Unger says.

Beyond counseling and encouraging physical fitness, there are other ways in which Concord helps its clients deal with their issues, such as support for their ar-tistic sides. In February of each year, the center hosts HeART of Concord, a show-case of artistically inclined clients and their original work.

In 2013, the show took in $3,000, $2,500 of which went directly back to the artists. This year’s event is slated for 5:30-7:30 p.m. Feb. 13 at Concord’s offices, 700 Brooksedge Blvd.

“Many of these folks have been creating for years, but have not had the opportunity to display or sell their work,” says Linda Jakes, clinical director at Concord. “This is a chance for them to focus on their talent instead of the challenges they face, to earn some money and to develop relationships with other artists.”

More information on Concord can be found on its website, www.concordcoun-seling.org, or by calling 614-882-9338.

The Mind Really MattersPhysical struggles add to the challenges of depression and anxiety Getting the Pointe

Though it plays a big role, Concord Counseling Services is not solely re-sponsible for mental health services in Westerville City Schools.

North Pointe, the district’s internal mental health program, is housed at Westervil le North High School and serves all three high schools as well as Heritage Middle School. The program assists students battling depression, anxiety and other mental health disorders.

“Our team does all we can to support these kids and give them a regular high school experience,” says John Rowson of the North Pointe program. “This is not an alternative school. Many of our kids come from stable homes, but suf-fer from anxiety and depression. They have good grades, but much of their high school experience has been stolen because of mental illness.”

Students in the program volunteer at community gardens each year, growing produce and donating what they yield. Twice a month, they help out at the Mid-Ohio Foodbank.

“They produce hundreds of hours of community service,” Rowson says. “These kids have been marginalized and isolated, and these programs help bring them back to the community and pre-pare them for post-secondary options.”

North Pointe works with Concord at the high school level to help in a more personal and regular manner.

“We can walk and talk with students, but we don’t have the licensing and skill sets Concord does,” Rowson says. “They host a 45-minute health group each week with us. And we identify kids who don’t have community health care resources. If they don’t, we make sure Concord meets with them once a week to make sure they get what they need.”

To donate or get involved with the program, contact Rowson at [email protected].

Country musician Keith Anderson, known for his songwriting and a string of mid-2000s hits, is the headliner at the 18th annual charity fundraiser.

The Chilly Open is slated for noon to 5 p.m. Feb. 1 at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. It is organized by the Rotary Club of Westerville Sunrise.

Over the course of its 17 years, the event, sponsored by Kroger and Papa John’s Pizza, has raised more than $2 mil-lion for central Ohio children’s charities, as well as for a recently-added community center in Rwanda.

Supporting central Ohio’s visual and performing arts since 1999

Among the 30-plus restaurants on this year’s menu are Papa John’s, Skyline Chili, the Old Bag of Nails, Polaris Grill, Bel Lago, Sandman Gourmet Deli and Catering, City Barbeque, Cantina Laredo, Giammarco’s, Liberty Tavern and the Bogey Bar & Grill. Activities including games, face-painting, laser tag and a bounce house will fill out the Children’s Open portion of the fun-draiser, specifically targeted at younger attendees, and live and silent auctions are also on the agenda.

“Zoo personnel will also be bringing some animals around to the Children’s Open, as well as the main event area,” says Chilly Open chairman Pat Knott.

Charities that will benefit from this year’s event include Children’s Hunger Al-liance, the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, Mount Carmel St. Ann’s, the Westerville Sunrise Rotary Foundation, Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Flying Horse Farms, the Westerville Area Re-source Ministry, the Buckeye Ranch, Ohio Troopers Caring Inc., Partners in Con-servation, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the Ubumwe Community Center in Rwanda and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Musical entertainment starts at 1 p.m. with rock ‘n’ roll cover band the Debits, chosen for its popularity in party settings.

“This group of local musicians met as a group of accountants working at The Limited in the mid-1990s,” says Knott. “Since they are all CPAs, the name ‘the Debits’ seemed appropriate.”

For the final set of the night, Anderson will join the Debits onstage, then perform a solo set.

Anderson is probably best known for his 2004 debut album Three Chord Coun-try and American Rock & Roll, which spawned four hit singles, including “Pickin’ Wildflowers” and “XXL.” His 2008 album C’Mon! also had a top-10 single in “I Still Miss You.”

He also wrote Big & Rich’s 2007 No. 1 “Lost in this Moment” and co-wrote 2001 Garth Brooks/George Jones hit “Beer Run (B Double E Double Are You In?).”

Tickets for the Chilly Open are $45 each and include all activities, food, non-alcoholic beverages and four drink tickets, as well as zoo admission from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Children 12 and under are free. Parking is $5.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.chillyopen.org. More information can be found on the website or by calling 614-823-8000.

living By Duane St. Clair Photography by Garth Bishop

Studio StudentAfter decades of work, artist Don Reither is still honing his craft

At age 60, Don Reither is both an ac-complished and an aspiring artist, consigned by choice to working

in sales while completing paintings in his modest-sized second floor home studio.

As he happily produces works of art – “about one a month,” he guesses – Reither is looking toward retirement and possibly work-ing full-time making and selling his creations.

Drawing has always been his thing, he says, beginning as early as age 4. In high school, he “majored” in math and fine arts, he says, and he went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in industrial design from The Ohio State University.

After graduating and working for only a few weeks in industrial design, he became an artist for a Mansfield advertising firm and spent 12 years in the business doing line drawings, retouching photos and providing other art work, primarily for reproduction in newspapers.

As computers gradually became the way of the future, Reither left the business to “hone (his) social skills by going into sales.” He was with a dry cleaning chain

and a printing com-pany, among others, and he now sells push brooms to large users such as warehouses.

Westerville residents since 1991, Reither and his wife, Eileen, have two grown daughters, Stephanie and Amy, both Westerville South High School graduates. Amy, of Johnstown, is a Franklin University alumna, while Stepha-nie, of Virginia Beach, graduated from OSU.

Though he hasn’t always created art for public consumption, Reither has always had

a studio. In fact, he works with a supply of oils he bought 20 years ago, and only a few colors have been replenished.

A great volume of paint brushes and pencils of various colors is visible through-out the studio, and the walls are lined with sketches, photos and finished paintings. Animals are everywhere – nothing live, but they’re the subject of many paintings, and related items such as a turtle shell and a mounted deer’s head fill out the room.

Reither keeps a “morgue” – a collection of photographs of various subjects, mostly wildlife – which he uses as composite models for his oil paintings. He’s a hunter and a fisher, hence the interest in wildlife art.

He’s “still learning about colors,” he says, determining how different media reflect similar colors differ-ently. Watercolor blue, for example, dries darker than oil paint blue.

A color wheel he created shows the different shades a color takes

as the paints are mixed, a basic concept that is needed for each medium.

Gradually, he’s shifting his focus from wildlife to people because, he says, “people tend to like it more.”

While Reither usually works with oil, he’s trying something different in a painting of his cousin Pete, an outdoorsman who lives in Minnesota. Working from some photos of the coverall-clad Pete, Reither is creating a portrait with acrylic-based watercolors from bottles he bought many years ago that aren’t sold anymore.

It’s a multi-step process that begins with a composite sketch of Pete, which is then traced on paper over a light board and subsequently painted. Reither didn’t like the first version for reasons – facial details, for example – only the artist would notice, so he’s doing it again.

On a wall, he has a smaller charcoal pencil profile of another cousin, Paul, that looks exactly like the bearded man’s photo. Reither plans to frame the finished project, and is looking at doing a picture of both cousins.

In October and November, 20 of his wildlife oil paintings were displayed in the

When he finishes this charcoal pencil sketch of his cousin Paul, Reither intends to send it to Paul .


Studio StudentAfter decades of work, artist Don Reither is still honing his craft

Ohio Department of Natural Resources lobby just off Morse Road in the Northland area.

He is a member of the Westerville Art League, which has about 60 members, and has displayed his work at their annual shows. Two years ago, one painting won first place at a show. Then, last spring, The Swimmer, a painting of a young girl at Highlands Park Aquatic Center, won the “people’s choice” award.

In February, Reither will speak at the monthly art league meeting. He plans to talk about the importance of knowing colors and how to use them, something he says a lot people don’t do pursuing their pastime.

Though he acknowledges only about 15 percent of full-time artists make a living off their artwork – “Being an artist and selling art are two different things,” and many people don’t know enough about the latter, he says – he looks ahead with optimism.

“Being an artist is like being a rock star,” Reither says. “There are a lot of guitar play-ers, but only a few stars.”

Reither prices his art based on its quality and its potential life, not wanting to create paintings that compete with low-cost stores or take him on the art show circuit. Using another analogy, he likens buying a painting to buying jewelry.

“You can buy costume jewelry or you can buy diamonds,” he says, and his goal is to create the works and the market for the diamond buyers.

If and when he turns to being an artist full-time, he hopes his paintings will endure.

“Most people end up with a tombstone or in an urn,” he says, “but if one of my paintings is around in 300 years….”

Bake-out Performanceon the table By Garth Bishop

Chocolaterie’s confection competition causes culinary creativity

Undoubtedly, you know plenty of people who can whip up a batch of cookies,

cupcakes or brownies – but who can make a batch of Irish Love Bombs?

How about a Snow Day Surprise, Spun and Done, Honeymoon in Boston, White Chocolate Raspberry Wonder or Totally Tubular Toffee?

These are just a few of the tongue-twisting and mind-bending choco-late creations formulated for Choco-laterie Stam’s baking contest, which has been held every January since the shop opened in late 2010. This year’s contest begins at 5 p.m. Jan. 24 at the store, 79 S. State St.

The concept is the brainchild of co-owner Anna Nelson, who loves to bake, says Nelson’s co-owner and sister, Kris Michel.

“We invited our customers who had been buying our baking chips … to make something with them and then bring it in,” Michel says.

Each contestant who signs up is given some of Chocolaterie Stam’s baking chips, which may be dark chocolate, extra dark chocolate, white chocolate, cocoa or other varieties.

“People just create some wonderful things,” Michel says.

The co-owners ex-pected maybe seven or eight entrants that first year in 2011, but ended up seeing about twice that much inter-est, Michel says.

“By the end of that one, the judges didn’t know what they’d got-ten themselves into,” says Michel.

The next year saw about 20 entries, with the field climbing clos-er to 25 in 2013.

A panel of local judges – including such names as state Rep. Anne Gonzales, Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce President Janet Tressler-Davis and radio personality Shawn Ireland – determines the winners of four categories. These are Delightfully Distinctive, for best presenta-tion; Exquisitely Extraordinary, for best name; Ingeniously Innovative, for best use of chocolate; and Delectably Delicious, for best taste.

Last year’s winners were Honeymoon in Boston, a heart-shaped Boston cream pie, for presentation; Gimme S’more Cupcakes, self-explanatory cupcakes,

for name; Chocolate Honeycomb Stout, a chocolate stout beer, for use of chocolate; and White Chocolate Raspberry Wonder, baked bars with white chocolate on bottom and raspberry on top, for taste.

There’s also a Peo-ple’s Choice award voted on by attendees. Honeymoon in Boston took home that award in 2013, too.

Bake-out Performance“(The baker) made this heart-shaped

Boston cream pie, and on top he took … two little Hershey’s kisses and made them into mouse faces, and they were kissing in the middle of the cake,” Michel says.

Among the other items in the 2013 line-up were “Eggs”elent with Distinction, a chocolate cake with meringue topping from Westerville City Schools; Chocolate Sourdough Bread from the Grandfa-ther Clock Company; White Chocolate Puddles Delight, made with Chocolaterie Stam’s white chocolate drops; and Some-time Love Bites, butter cookies dipped in white chocolate.

And that’s not even taking into account some of the top finishers of previous years. One year, a pair of Otterbein University stu-dents – in a tribute to the school’s orchestra, of which they were both members – built a miniature orchestra out of chocolate and called it Double Chocolate Concerto.

“They actually used a photo of their or-chestra as a framework, and they displayed the photo with the pan,” Michel says.

Another favorite was the Black & White Cheesecake made by Westerville resident Jeanne Arkfeld, which took home People’s Choice in 2012. The rich cheesecake with Oreo crust is a standard contribution to fam-ily birthdays, Arkfeld says, but the version she made for the contest was especially good because of the Chocolaterie Stam chips.

“I had never used their chocolate before to make the cheesecake,” Arkfeld says. “It’s delicious … but it’s not something you can have every day.”

Those interested in entering have until Jan. 20 to sign up.
